XXXI. Augmentation
All of the abilities and powers inherent to our kind are almost solely fueled by energy.
Mastery of these powers requires an understanding of one's own energy as well as the
ability to visualize that energy on the subtle level. <strong>The</strong> more advanced powers require the
ability to manipulate the subtle body in order to perceive and interact with the subtle
reality.
With determination and practice, all of our kind regardless of caste have the potential to
learn and master any of the following skills.
<strong>The</strong> first and most basic thing we can do is physical augmentation. Augmentation uses
our energy to influence our physical bodies. Augmentation allows us to push beyond our
physical limitations through a concentrated act of will.
To augment, you must extend your awareness only slightly to the energy coursing
through your body. Focus is essential. Gather the energy into your center, just under your
heart chakra, then force it throughout yourself with a specific intent. In this way you may
will a burst of strength or a burst of speed, you may increase your endurance, your pain
tolerance, and even the rate at which you heal.
Through concentration of your will and your energy, you can heightened your senses of
touch, taste, hearing, and so forth. A limited amount of increased sensual acuity comes
without thought. All senses are affected in this way, though scent, taste, and touch are the
most noticeably keener.
With practice, augmentation will come naturally, without a conscious effort, and may be
kept up for extended periods of time. However, augmenting for extended periods tends to
burn the system out very quickly so that one must feed more heavily and more often in
order to compensate.
<strong>The</strong> same concept can be applied to pushing yourself beyond the limits of physical
infirmity or disease. Many of us are sickly, because the connection between the physical
and the spiritual bodies is disjointed or incomplete. Yet we can overcome whatever our
physical limitations may be with a concentrated effort of will. As with augmentation,
focus is essential, and compensating for extended periods of time will deplete you so that
you will have to feed heavily more often. Yet with practice and diligence, one can
compensate for the most debilitating conditions without hardly a thought, so that even
those with serious heart conditions can achieve a level of physical activity and endurance
that would astonish physicians.
XXXII. Subtle Perception
Sight of the subtle which lies within and throughout all physical things comes with
practice and concentration. Most of us can, to one degree or another, perceive the energy
we manipulate, the life which courses through those around us. This is not so much
