There is a lot of crap out in the world. Some of it likes to hide inside people and manipulate them to its own will. Some of this scum is so devious and yet so cunning that the people do not even realise it. I speak of parasites.
Parasites are everywhere, some are worse than others, and there is always the few that are so horrid, so undetectable, that the host can live his or her whole life without even knowing that they are carrying something. There are a few symptoms, however, that a magician can look for that may indicate the presence of a parasite.
- Lack of energy: if the mage is experiencing a constant drain, or feels like energy flies away just a tad too fast. For instance, if you are making a psi-ball and you seem to lose a lot more than what goes into the ball.
- Lack of energetic control: if the mage feels overwhelmed by the energy they have, or feel like they cannot hold the reigns of their own will.
- Foreign thoughts: this one is the hardest of all to detect. The mind often plays games or jokes and creates thoughts that seem external. Parasites tend to hide extremely well. Their thoughts are barely noticable, and that could be the way to detection. The mage must look for subtle, almost non-existant foreign thoughts.
By far the above is not a very exhaustive list, and of course it is open to contributions, but generally, those are probably the most common.
Getting rid of a parasite is far harder, and the method tends to vary per individual case, but keep one thing in mind: Asking for help is often a good idea.

foreign thoughts: can you give a more detailed example as to what could be a foreign thought.
Do you mean, like if a goodie two shoe is having thoughts of putting a crap on the stoop of her arab neighbors door where as they wouldn't have that thought in the first place?
I need to understand this a little more.

If you'd ask me I'd say it sounds like you have problems with energy and balancing. Try search some topics on how to overcome lack of energy and those moment when 'spark' has left you.
Learn to control you body, learn to control your mind. Understand them! Then you realise things might be different aswell from what you have written here. Or maybe not. But there are more choices.

Parasites, Leeches, Negative Entities, oh my! I've heard of such creatures under many names. I've also witnessed people who thought they had neg problems and were actually suffering from unresolved aspects of their own psyche. It is a complicated issue.

forign thoughts is usualy stuff you wouldnt think of, like if you sudenly like something wich you used to hate or vice versa.
Some time ago I had an experiance with one of those, what I found to be diferent was:
-there was this rock I found that I seemed to like for no reason and I felt uncomftable whenever I was far from it (that was the oddest of all).
-there were certain foods I used to love and sudenly I didnt even like the thought of me eating them, and if I'd try them theid taste even worse than I imagined.
-fear of the dark
-mild headaches
-ocasional bloodshot eyes
I eventualy got rid of it, it seems that for some reason it was in the rock I found since after I found it was when the simptoms started, I had a lot of forign thoughs, and though them I was able to comunicate (rarely) with the parasite. Though it wasnt something id like to go though again (duh) I ended beter in telepathy.
oh... I forgot to say how I got rid of it.... I was in this big crowd and after that I never felt it agan... maybe it got another host.

I've had a lack of energy for the past 5 years or so. I've tried a hell of a lot of other theories and methods to boost myself, but nothing has worked. So, I may aswell see if I can find any pests in my soul
. I doub it, but it can't hurt to look.

I would suggest to detect foriegn thoughts to list for yourself thoughts that you realy wouldn't think of or times of meditation where you only think certain thoughts which you aprove of . When the foriegn thoughts arive try to get a sense of it's energy (kinda like taste smell etc.) and later when the parasite comes back or shows itself you'll know what it is , as for getting rid of them try to not act upon the thoughts in any fasion and to simply think of something else as opposed to going directly against the thought itself.

hydra and acesplade, I couldn't have said it better myself. Yeah, those are pretty much foreign thoughts.
Another method to lose a parasite: Thought-Fleeing
Take your train of thought and then rapidly change its direction occasionally. For instance, if you are thinking about cars and pollution, suddenly start thinking about tires or people. Then keep doing that every few minutes and either of two things could happen, a) shizophrenia/ADD or b) the parasite could become confused and damage itself and leave.

Hehe no offense but that's really rich. It's not that often someone gives out advice here which he/she openly admits might cause schizophrenia;)

:twisted: Since schizophrenia was brought up, I wonder how many people that are diagnosed with schizophrenia or other form of mental illness have been infected by a parasite. My guess would be quite a few. I have had low energy since I can remember but now find that I have more after a dream I had a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps I had a parasite in me but it fled after or during the dream. I'm going to stop here now as I feel that if I go on I'll start rambling and won't make any sense. :twisted:

Where are you getting this stuff from? Schizophrenia and ADD are complex mental conditions that dont just happen to people by thinking about a bunch of different stuff. Its pretty irresponsible and disrespectful to people that actually have those conditions to belittle thier troubles all for the sake of some online roleplaying.

"online roleplaying."
What in the bloody hell are you talking about? You think I'm screwing around? You think I am joking? I've seen people fuck themselves up pretty bad from an attempt of ridding themselves from some problem. I mentioned it because of that exact reason. Everything in magic is extremely dangerous and one mistake could put one in a hole for a long time. Those mental conditions are indeed serious and while something as harmless as thinking may not seem to be able to cause them, it can. Thinking can put people in deep shit.
We can take this all lightly, and sure we don't have to look at the dark side of things, but we must not forget that it does indeed exist. I mention a possible danger to my method because if I do not mention it, there runs the risk of someone being naive enough to think that danger does not exist. Magic is not all about danger of course, nor should one constantly think about it, but they should always keep it somewhere in mind.
When you drive your car, the likelihood of an accident is low, but is there, so you always look out for incoming cars, for possible collisions. When you teach someone a new method of shifting gears, you tell them to keep on the lookout for the possibility of an accident, because while the chance is small, you don't want to be caught unprepared that one time that it happens.
Like someone on a gun forum said, you keep your gun near you at all times, just in case that low statistical home invasion actually happens. You do not want to wish you had your gun when you don't have it. The same can be said of anything.
Perhaps by saying "online roleplaying" you imply that magic is not "real" and that this is just an RPG, in which case ignore everything I've just said and I have nothing further to say to you.
EDIT: Fixed a major typo

Nonsense. Without some sort of training, most people would have that gun shoved up their ass before they figured out how to get the saftey off. If your technique actually works, and you're giving it openly on a public forum, the better comparison would be handing a caveman a glock and saying "Here, new tool. Oh by the way, you might kill yourself with it."Like someone on a gun forum said, you keep your gun near you at all times, just in case that low statistical home invasion actually happens.
Absolutely agree. Telling anyone who's studied psychology, even in high-school, that thinking random thoughts could cause schizophrenia would get you laughed out of the room. And ADD is a cause of random thoughts, not a result.Schizophrenia and ADD are complex mental conditions that dont just happen to people by thinking about a bunch of different stuff.
