Is it okay to reply like this in this thread? If not you can move it if need be.
I did this once; this was before I met KG. It was hard at first to shut down, but when I did I felt wierd. Like I was missing a piece of my self that made me whole. When I returned though, that was a painful shock to my system. But it was needed. I almost pushed myself to absorb all of the information in one sitting at times and nearly caused me to be so burnt out that I almost failed my classes.
Anyway, it's helpful but hard. I felt like sharing..

I tend to shut down automatically, if I get an overload. This is always annoying, and upsetting to me, but it has probably saved me from going insane a couple of times, since I tend to push ahead as long as I can. When I get something I can't understand, and it starts to really bother me, I shut down. I've been in shut down mode for over a week now, and just now coming out of it a little.
There is a lot of burn out involved in this stuff. Some people realize they are burning themselves out, and they have to pull back. For me it must be a built in defense mechanism. I Don't consciously cause myself to pull back, most of the time, but I do it anyway. There have only been a few times that it was voluntary. I am as miserable as a wet cat without my abilities, and I hate being without them, but I also notice that delving too deep for too long can make you feel like you are going crazy. I get very obcessive, when I am trying to understand something. I think as uncomfortable as shutting down is it is a valuable thing. It prevents the overload, and it is possible that overload could cause mental and emotional damage. I am very thankful for shut down, even though I hate it.

It takes me hours, sometimes days to shut down fully but I've never figured out why. Is there any thoughts on this and or possable remedies?
Usually "waking up" again is instantaniously for me too... I guess I'm odd, but could anyone figure out why these happen?

you didnt mention music in your list of energy sources, but im sure you failed to list a lot psiballs are primitive fireballs, or so i have heard, and certian martial arts either do, or used to teach how to perfect and weild psiballs as a form of self defense, at the very least, a light show could scare off an opponent im not sure, but i think i frequently draw energy from many things, i suspect i am a channeler of sorts... i feel a sort of tingle flow through my body momentarily, but i have never successfully controlled this... your atricle inspires me to at least try i will be using music as my primary source, because of my hearing loss; i can create music in my head that only i can hear. but as for directing and controlling the bursts of feeling i gets from music... wish me luck
