“Psychicus, that relating to the mind or soul.
Pyrokinesis, mediumship, hydrokinesis, prophecy or divination, telekinesis, cursing, all arts well-practiced by any thaumaturge worth their salt. One may then ask, what value to us is the psychic classification?
Throughout history, there are personalities that are so encapsulating, so charming, so dominating, or so pitiful, they order humanity’s collective attention. Born kings and queens, leaders, musicians, painters, great thinkers, enthralling criminals. These people, through their presence and life, can unite mankind into armies or fandoms. They steer conscious perception, and through this, the way reality manifests in our minds. It stands to reason how most psychics in recent memory became the celebrities of their local communities, and certainly beyond.
A psychic does not need to study thaumaturgy, nor read of ritual, for their influence is entirely innate. A psychic is the mind that makes a subjective inner world into a matter of objective reality. Their imagination breaks out of their body, and with it summons a fountain of qualia, which splatters and paints the universe as we perceive it.”
- Dr. Adomo Anthropos, introduction to the lecture: "Psychics: A Qualitative Understanding of the Person, not the Power."
The Nature of Psychics
Inquiring one hundred psychics about the mechanisms of their paranormal abilities will produce an equal amount of different answers, none of which stand up to scrutiny. In truth, few psychics understand the source of their talent. Therefore, replicating any psychic’s specific influence through heredation or training has proven futile; it is utterly unique to each individual. Some of these methods may outwardly appear similar to traditional occult techniques, but are set apart upon scientific observation.
The Authority has come to understand psychic abilities as ontostratic interruptions in the standard flow of conceptualization & creation. While an idea would normally diffusely manifest in the Infoplane, then flow through the Sea of Forms in its ideal, perfect state, and finally achieve physical identity through the process of its creation, psychics can manipulate, skip and/or reverse this interaction between mind and reality. Indeed, some psychics can even palpate this interplay within minds that aren't their own, thus operating as memetic agents.
Joseph B. Raine of the Parapsychological Association explains psychic abilities as divided into two branches, those of psychokinesis and extra-sensory perception (ESP).
- Psychokinesis: Outwards Psychism (telekinesis, teleportation, levitation, biokinesis, automatic writing), performed by overlaying the Sea of forms onto the physical plane, superseding flawed acts of creation.
- ESP: Inwards Psychism (mediumship, remote viewing, psychometry, dowsing, astral projection), performed by directly witnessing the Infoplane, in opposition to the physical.
After the founding of the Authority’s own Department of Parapsychology, this model was developed to include a subtype distinct from Raine’s original classification:
- Empathics: Sidewards Psychism (telepathy, pathokinesis, mesmerism), performed by implanting memetics into foreign minds through their connection to the Ontostrata.
In general, all psychic abilities are performed by expression of the psychic's qualia onto perceived reality. This manifests as eccentric views on the mechanisms of reality, ultimately resulting in the eccentric forms of ontostratic relations listed above.
Additionally, the ability to control the flow of information has shown positive correlation with the impression the psychics leave on the fellowman. This has caused some researchers to hypothesize that the power stems from a shift in the conscious gestalt, where psychics obtain influence by recruiting individuals to their worldview. It is as such that many known psychics are famous. They have therefore proven a hindrance to the veil, and are to be treated according to the I, I, I and U model.
A common practice among prominent psychics is to create groups of laymen organized around their abilities. It is therefore obvious how up until the 20th century, psychic groups were elitist and exclusive in nature, where the higher ranks were accessible only to those born with the unknown prerequisites for psychic influence.
Psychism; the Universal Model
A paradigm shift overturned the parapsychological field when Dr. Wolfgang Metzger proposed that qualia, the metaphorical fuel of psychics, exists in all sapient beings, however latent. Psychics are therefore only separated from the normal man by the ability to express qualia, not by innate supremacy or talent.
The idea of 'latent qualia', while initially rejected by the parapsychological community, gained traction within various French-artistic groups in the aftermath of the Great War. Further development by both Metzger and these groups resulted in the so-far only reliable methods of reconstructing psychic influence: the VidiCap and Creative Expression.
To contemporary parapsychologists, there are three types of psychic actors:
1. The natural, born psychic: who lacks the barriers of mind that maintain qualia within the mind.
2. The artificial, created psychic: the normal man whose qualia has been forced out.
3. The tool-using, not psychic: who uses the VidiCap or creative expression to deliver qualia.
All three actors can practice qualia recruitment; the usage and metamorphosis of the fellow's qualia to amplify and enforce the self's worldview, albeit in various manifestations.
Some readers who have accessed this guide will notice a lack of empirical descriptions regarding psychic mechanisms. This is intentional; as our current understanding of such mechanisms is not fit for practical application or protocol.
The document therefore attempts to shift the reader's attention from the psychic power, to the psychic themself, stressing a qualitative approach. This is as the best way to limit a psychic is not a secret or specialized protocol, but simply isolating them from the social influences which amplify them.
It is for this reason a summarized history follows this introduction. Its purpose is to make the reader aware of the themes plaguing historical psychism, as well as how it tends to manifest in practice.
The Mystic Age
Up until the turmoil of the first world war, psychics were seen as natural concentrations of universal power. Their truths were scarcely questioned, and psychics thrived as directors of human belief, culture and development.
Pythia and the Temple of Apollo
One of the most powerful titles of the classical world was Pythia, the high priestess and oracle of Delphi. Delphic oracles were believed to shower penitents with prophecies and divination directly from Mount Olympus and its gods, attributing vast and immediate authority to the position. Pythia issued from the Temple of Apollo, one of the most recognized religious institutions of the antique period.
The oracles were of the first psychic-like phenomena studied by the Auctoritas Imperitus. The infancy of the field led to much confusion regarding the existence of the thaumaturgic/psychic distinction, and we remain unaware if the oracles were entirely psychic, despite operating through similar means.
PAGAN DIVINATION
A magic art of fortune-telling practiced by non-catholic seers. Possible manifestation of Divine Spirit as the nuisance to Apostle Paul.
-Excerpt of an archaic Auctoritas Imperitus scroll describing various historical thaumatological traditions-
Nostradamus and the preservation of Les Prophéties
A controversial figure, Nostradamus was an active futurewriter in 16th century France. He produced over 6000 predictions routinely published in sets of almanacs. Nostradamus was accused by the church for practicing magic, but was not prosecuted due to a lack of evidence.
His prophecies have been heavily studied, republished and translated since their release, and the greater efforts of suppressing psychic fame in the 21st century have done little to alleviate their influence. The prophecies have caused many instances of cyclic history, and their accuracy is therefore oftentimes denounced as a Barnum effect by skeptics.
Accusal of Michel de Nostradame
Scribe Michel de Nostradame writes of the future. Fellow catholics have begun to turn towards his almanacs. Your Holiness, he may speak with forbidden tongue, I fear.
-Letter of concern sent to Pope Clement VII by an unknown poster-
The Nostradamus example became vital for deepening psychic understanding; by disproving previous misconceptions. The Auctoritas at this point still classified psychic power as a form of extramission, however the persistence of Nostramdamus’ influence post-mortem called this into question.
Helena Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society
Many of the fundamental mystic and spiritualist concepts studied by the Prometheus Primogenitus were developed by Helena Blavatsky and following Theosophical leaders. Claiming to be divinely inspired, Blavatsky formed in the late 19th century the Theosophical society; an organization dedicated to studying comparative religion and reach universal truths under notions of hidden, ancient secrets waiting to be exposed.
Blavatsky led a nomadic life, traveling east and accumulating excotic occultism previously foreign to the western world. It is during this time she claims to have met the Masters; emanations of the esoteric and bestowers of knowledge. Later analysts have hypothesized a form of astral projection to have assisted Blavatsky in her travels, as well as being an explanation to these purported meetings.
After returning to Europe, Blavatsky compiled her knowledge into numerous books. Her bibliography was one of the first to recognize the multi-faceted nature of the paranormal, contributing heavily to an improved understanding of both the practised occult and the innate psychism.
The Theosophical Society was founded to continue aggregating esoterics, and attracted numerous mystics that further engrained Europe as a hub of occult study. This coincided well with the Authority’s semi-recent conversion from the Auctoritas - which was greatly inspired by the Society to observe anomalous phenomena, and therefore psychism, through a critically secular lens.
The Transitional Period
Grigori Rasputin’s infiltration of the Russian Imperial Family
Rasputin surrounded by the imperial staff.
The network which lifted Grigori Rasputin from peasantry to an imperial influence originated from belief in his stature as a faith healer. Presence in his vicinity, companionship and predominantly physical contact with Rasputin purportedly cured illnesses and banished corruption. As such, he became affixed as a mandatory presence for the health of and by the Imperial family.
Unfortunately for Rasputin, his presence became conflated with the failures of Russian governance at the time. Therefore, after resisting multiple toxins, Rasputin was shot by noble conservatives while fleeing, and he died on the city streets. The Bolsheviks portrayed the assassination as a revolutionary act against individual consolidation of power and legitimacy.
Certain ACI investigations reveal Rasputin to have been a posthumous inspiration and object of study for the Iron Initiate. Some Parapsychologists suggest his origin in peasantry to have influenced the character of the following Soviet psychic project: the Proletarskiy Dom. Nevertheless, Rasputin shows that psychics have an affinity for social upheaval, which both enforces and destabilizes their position.
German wartime occultism
The German Empire of the Central Powers was not the first to utilize psychics for combat purposes, and the many attempts before it failed as the mania of battle is proven to be too hectic of an environment for most psychics to exert their influence. However, few successful specimens, such as the Siebte Pest (Seventh Plague, a combat psychic who left numerous survivors and allowed rumors of himself to spread within the allied ranks as a force of infernal terror), taught the Germans how to best harness the power of psychics.
Goebbels and the Third Reich propaganda machine lent itself well to GARD’s experiments with combat psychics during WW2. Inspired by Armanist thought, and supported by occultists such as Karl Maria Wiligut, Hitler sponsored internal and external promotion which equipped the Wehrmacht with outwards psychic abilities for offensive and defensive plays, as well as inwards abilities for intelligence and surveillance, among whom was Ludwig Straniak.
Aryanist ideology embedded within the German population a belief in ethnic superiority, which was in some cases used to signify supernatural abilities exclusive to Aryans. Further promoting the psychics as natural expressions of Aryan dominance, it eliminated much skepticism regarding the authenticity of psychism.
While the German Empire sewed the seeds for anti-psychic groups, the portrayal of psychics by GARD was the final nail in the coffin. Many psychics lost global fame, and became dependent on more niche groups to sustain their influence. Certain regions, predominantly French mobs, began harassing and persecuting known psychics, claiming no single individual bears the right to dictate the direction of humanity.
Parapsychology and the Psychic Constant
Psychism and art
A piece of readymade. The artist stresses a grounded appeal.
Prominent French artists dabbling in Dadaism, readymade, and found art came together after WW1 to postulate the Psychic Constant; a theory claiming the total psychic influence possible at any given time to be constant, and that psychics concentrate this power and steal it from the general populace. The theory gained traction, and remains a monolith of French-psychic relations.
The French art-niches which popped up after WW1 and defined the Psychic Constant grew even closer during WW2. With the early theorems of Wolfgang Metzger, these artists managed to emit psychic influence through artistic expression. After an eventual growth in size and increase in production of anomalous art, they garnered the attention of many anti-psychic French initiatives.
In order to de-escalate the situation, these diffuse groups who had united under the Psychic Constant formed an organization dedicated to three main ideas:
To nurture the latent psychism of humans through creative expression.
To distribute the sum of the Psychic Constant in order to prohibit the culmination and monopolization of psychic influence by an oligarchy of people.
To make reality our canvas.
As such, an institution teaching psychism through creative expression was born. It is believed to have been one of the founding schools for the conglomerate of anomalous artistry known as: L'Académie du Véritable Art.
Parapsychological Association
After WW2, the global stage changed drastically for psychics. Grief from the war resulted in multiple new-age movements, and the Psychic Constant returned as a driver of institutions focused on empirical study of psychic phenomena; most notably the Parapsychological Association.
While initially an independent think-tank, the large amounts of data on purportedly psychic phenomena amassed by the Authority attracted the group. Eventually, finding it mutually beneficial, the Parapsychological Association was merged with the Office of Analysis and Science’s Department of Psychology.
Pursuits of Artificial Psychism
Many institutions attempted to artificially master psychism through parapsychology, but no true replication has been manufactured as of yet. Some of the most well-known progress was during the “psychic arms race”: a parallel occult development effort by the USOC and the Iron Initiative during the Cold War.
Proletarskiy Dom
A painting meant to spread word of the Proletarskiy Dom.
The Iron Initiative’s artificial psychics program recruited from among the working population, and the most promising candidates were expected to fight for the needs of the nation. As such, the Proletaskiy Dom was created as an exceptional labor/military force of outwards psychics.
They became a staple of the Krushchev Regime, and much visual art was produced to denote the power of the common collective. Unfortunately, the method of creating the Proletarskiy Dom resulted in them acting as a hive mind. This caused a lack of agency, independence and leadership, and ultimately a poor performance in proxy wars.
TerraRoll Affiliation
Up to date logo of the TerraRoll Affiliation
As the USOC didn't have historical access to prominent psychics, the effort manifested as a conglomerate of many different commissioned parapsychologists experimenting with the previously ill-understood mechanics of psychedelics, memetics, and Theosophical practices; all under the project name of MK-Ultra. It is from the results of these experiments the USOC created the TerraRoll Affiliation.
The TerraRoll Affiliation is a massive investment company dabbling mainly in asset management, with the help of inward psychism to dictate financial decisions. Members of the TerraRoll Affiliation were planted into various high ranking positions within Wall Street and different economic sectors. They derived influence from the financial jurisdiction of the nation, without relying on its explicit, ideological support.
The inward psychic abilities helped propel the American economy, but progress stagnated as many TerraRoll Affiliates began acting for personal benefit. The USOC attempted to prosecute the rogue affiliates, but few trials took place as most committed suicide soon after breaking away.
The Memory Wax project
These national scandals set the scene for
Site-074 to adopt an eccentric method of psychic synthesis: the Memory Wax project. It resided in the belief that the primary hindrance of artificial psychism were minds “tainted” by a set-in-stone, qualia-poor worldview. As such, several volunteers within Site-074 Department of Psychology were prescribed a series of dosages consisting of repeating
videric and amnestic substances.
The head researchers of the project believed that this would allow progressive erasure of psychic-incompatible worldviews unreachable by solely amnestics, using the mechanism of viderics networking with native engrams and allowing the totality to be banished. The point when all previous affiliations are removed was referred to as a “Shaved Purity”.
Multiple Shaved Purities were created, and some even managed to re-develop fine motor functions. Of these specimens, those turned into psychics proved ineffective; as they manifested seemingly frivolous psychic influences. The Memory Wax project was forced to shut down, and Site-074 Board of Site Directors is as of writing facing gross negligence charges by the OEaR on behalf of widowed families.
After both witnessing and experiencing the failures of artificial psychism, the Parapsychological sciences of the Authority began to stagnate. Laboratory based study of psychism showed itself not only futile, but frequently dangerous. This begot critical review of previous conceptions, and sewed the seeds for the eventual I, I, I and U.
In the end, no attempt to elevate a normal individual to psychic agency and stature has succeeded. However, modern trials to create a newborn psychic spearheaded by bioengineering sculpturers such as The Church of Malthus and Kabushiki Kawaii show promise.
Wolfgang Metzger's VidiCap and the birth of the Parapsychological Department
Wolfgang Metzger. Despite common belief, Metzger was not a psychic.
A black sheep of parapsychology is Dr. Wolfgang Metzger. Instead of manufacturing psychic influence, Metzger sought to reveal the latent abilities said to reside in each individual through a device known as the VidiCap.
The VidiCap has potential for all three branches of psychic influence; Psychokinesis, ESP, and Empathics, under the respective models Eikon Projectors, Sophia Cameras, and Paideia Radios. Only Paideia is operationally viable, however, as the qualia demand for Eikon and Sophia is exceedingly high for the normal mind.
His ideas found an audience among proponents of the Psychic Constant, and are the closest replication of natural psychism with any degree of substantial longevity.
The idea of latency, along with the VidiCap, revitalized the study. After being adopted by the Authority, the great leaps made within psychic understanding justified a split from the OAS and founding of the Parapsychological Department, carrying systematic application of social sciences within the field.
Additionally, the VidiCap made qualia a more tangible substance. Subjective perception therefore ceased to be a gap in parapsychological understanding, but instead another window through which to observe the Ontostrata. As such, the VidiCap formed the foundational soft- and hardware of future ontostratic access points.
The I, I, I, and U
The Authority's relationship with psychism is complex, and various schools of thought exist. Some argue that direct persecution and containment of psychic based anomalies is a futile and unethical pursuit, while others believe that psychics must be treated as any other threat to the veil; with research and imprisonment. Generally, the former perspective is more prevalent.
It has led to the protocol known as the I, I, I and U: Isolate, Ignominy, Individualize and see Unity; an approach to psychics that specifically targets their tendencies on the conscious gestalt. A focus on such elements has predominantly shifted the science of Parapsychology from laboratory-based quantitative methods, to the more qualitative disciplines of anthropology, game theory and crowd psychology.
Let it be known: we do not chain or imprison psychics without direct incentives against us. Such an approach would not only allot them even more short-term attention, prove inefficient in most cases, but drain our finances completely. Some have proposed elimination in certain cases, but as seen with Nostradamus; a prominent psychic's influence can persist after death, and even grow with an infamous demise.
No matter how many psychics we study, observe and note, any concrete handlebar on the mechanics of their abilities has eluded us. Whether they see the future in the smoke of a candle, or cause telekinesis by spitting on objects; the nature of their methods is entirely superfluous and irreproducible.
What is vital, however, is how much power we let them bear. The more you subscribe to a psychic, the more their qualia will be given material form. This is the basis the I, I, I, and U.
Isolate them from their fellows and followers. Take down their connections, and let them find only darkness.
Ignominy their reputation. From naturalistic ethos to dramatic exposés, let them garner zero legitimacy.
Individualize the world. Put the self in the center, and few will turn to worship anything other.
In order to Isolate, Ignominy, and Individualize, one must know and target the Unity by which the psychic depends.
- Head of the Site-074 Dept. of Parapsychology Doctor Edvin Hildegard
3IU operations are very often multi-faceted in nature, and require the cooperation of various aspects of Authority infrastructure. As it is an interdivisionary pursuit, the Department of Parapsychology serves as the head director and profiler of the project.
For ease of communication, the actual psychic targeted by the 3IU at any given time is referred to as Damocles.
ISOLATE
The pack eats the lone wolf
- Communication & transportation: MST-X-Ray-6 “Annulifiers” operatives can be commissioned to target Damocles with an online or long-distance presence. Denial of Service, shadowbanning, restriction of internet access, cutting of phone lines, interception of post, sabotage of personal vehicles are all suitable for this end.
- Bureaucratic intervention: Misplacement and removal of paperwork submitted by Damocles prohibits interaction with social infrastructure. Applicancy for various services or payments can be interrupted.
- Group shutdown: The COVID-19 pandemic showed a decrease in psychic influence within locked-down regions. Simulations have shown promise in replicating such an environment using benign infectious material introduced to localized groups.
- Outcasting: Removing any previous remembrance of Damocles. Performed mainly through systematic amnestizication of Damocles’ social network.
IGNOMINY
Humorless jesters are simply clowns
- Debunking: Researchers can publish scientific explanations to psychic phenomena, and alienate Damocles from Academia. Propaganda campaigns accusing Damocles of con-artistry halts their economic progression.
- Humanization: Satirical media and entertainment, along with shaming and demeaning leaks of personal life can deform Damocles’ public stature.
- Reformatting: Usage of the Addams-Merryweather Subliminal Memetic Payload to introduce fabricated perception of Damocles allows precise readjustment of reputation.
INDIVIDUALIZE
Many truths speak only lies
- Platforming: Give as many people as possible access to a platform. Voicing of personal perspectives will dilute the scene of opinion.
- Qualia competitioning: Authority-aligned psychics can be introduced to certain groups, usurping Damocles’ local monopoly on attention while competing with their qualia. Can also be done on a wider scale with VidiCaps. Mass-produced, minor effect VidiCaps can be (thus far only theoretically) introduced to a population, introducing huge numbers of rivaling qualia.
- Empathy confiscation: [GLOBAL DIRECTOR EYES ONLY]
UNITY
A peopleless nation is but a border
The Department of Parapsychology’s main labor. We profile Damocles’ means of power and psychic abilities. Common is the description of Damocles’ purported psychism; in, out, and sideward. More importantly for the first 3 axioms of the I, I, I and U however, is the observation of Damocles’ spread and promise.
Some psychics market themselves as scientists, others as saviors, few as villains. No matter which, all unionize people under covenants. Whether a promise of intelligence, entertainment, or hate, psychics use thesis statements to amplify their power. It is therefore vital for these mechanisms of influence to be dissected and understood - if we are to effectively Isolate, Ignominy and Individualize.
