Thanks for the suggestions. I'll definitely check out the self hypnosis book, I've actually thought about trying something like this but all the methods seemed complicated and like they'd take months to work.

>Energy projection or manipulating events and people doesn't require the kind of focus you are training for.
Maybe Bardon's training is just strict, but I want to master it. Everything just seems so orderly in the book, like once you get over the hurdles you've have complete mastery over your abilities. I like the idea of that kind of magic.

You should look into the book, it's the best occult training manual I've ever found. You progressively do more and more difficult exercises and supposedly gain more and more amazing abilities as you progress, and you are always tasked with testing these abilities in ways which are observable and couldn't be the result of a placebo, delusions, hallucinations, etc (that's what I really like about the training, it takes itself literally and accounts for human error).
