The realism of the phase space does not impose limits on the ability to perform actions that cannot be performed in the physical world. It is important to remember that only a practitioner's apprehension places limits on what may be done in the phase.
For example, if a practitioner needs to get to a location - even very far away - it may be reached by teleportation. If an object needs to be moved from one side of the room to the other, it may be moved by telekinesis. One of the major benefits of the phase experience is unencumbered freedom of action.
To master unusual abilities, only a few phases need to be spent in concentrated development of the methods.
In order to learn telekinesis (moving object by thought), the practitioner concentrate on an object while experiencing a deepened phase, and attempt to move the object by thinking about the movement. The only required action is aggressive visualization of the object's movement. No specific external actions are required. Telekinetic ability is inherent to every human being. If attempts are unsuccessful at first, press on. Before too long, the full effect of the practitioner's will yield results. Using this ability helps to encourage a good phase experience by providing a tool for carrying out planned tasks.
Igniting an object in the phase just by staring at it requires a strong desire to heat up and set fire to the object. Performed successfully, an object will smoke, distort, darken and then burst into flames.
To develop telepathy in the phase, it is necessary to peer at animate objects while listening surrounding external and internal sounds with the intention of hearing thoughts expressed by thought. Even experienced practitioners encounter difficulty while developing telepathy, but when successful, contact with people in the phase is substantially simplified. Using telepathy, discerning the thoughts of people, animals, and objects is possible. However, this should not be taken too seriously, since it is merely the nature of the phase to simulate what is expected.
Transforming an object's form requires the technique of transmutation (refer to Chapter 9). It should also be noted that if the goal is not to convert something but rather to transform oneself, then it is necessary to use the translocation techniques (also described in Chapter 9), whereby attention has to be concentrated not on the desired place but on the desired form. Here again there are no limitations apart from individual courage and fantasy. It is possible to become a butterfly or a dinosaur. It is possible to become a bird or a worm. It's even possible to become a child or a person of the opposite sex. These are not simply external changes, but real transmutations, within and without. If a practitioner becomes a butterfly, it accompanies the sensation of having wings, many legs, and an unusual body. The practitioner will intuitively know how to control each part of this new body. This is a superficial description of the transmutation experience, which obviously defies a customary understanding of reality.
