I know this is kinda random and don't ask me how I even began to think of this, but could one build a shield to protect one from oneself? (ok lets get rid of the whole one deal.) What I mean is, can you make a shield to protect yourself from your own laziness or annoyiness or undiscipliness.
Do you get what I'm asking? Question

Maybe not a shield, try programming a ball of psi programmed to keep your head in some sort of concentration. A shield doesn't protect yourself from yourself XD a shield could also be called a "filter".

That is a bit creepy to think off, It's almost forcing certain neuros to not go to it's destiny, yet, Emotions are from chemicals, bah...I thinking to far in this.

well do you think it might be a bad idea? well i mean when you talk about neuros not reaching their destinies, wouldn't that happen when you try to discipline yourself? That's just an example, but I mean, when you try to change your "personality" (used cause lack of a better term) isn't that what happens anyway?

Or you could end up messing up your brain completely and ending up with an IQ of 20. There's a reason why it's not reccomended to send psi to your head and major neural pathways.

hmmm. well i always thought that there was a natural build up of psi in the brain already. I mean...the brain is what wealds the psi in the first place.

Causing harm to the brain like this also confuses me because of "pretending". You guys are probably familiar w/ the concept but not the term. A friend and I coined the term for someone who repeats something in their head so many times that they begin to believe the lie. (To explain the term quickly: So let's say you want to be able to jump higher. You repeat in your head "I can jump five feet" and your body and mind condition themselves to achieve the task and then after some time (depending on the thing you're pretending) it becomes reality. )

Going along with pretending there are probably times where you could totally screw up your mind, but if you're pretending something like "I can levitate the toothpick" its just like practicing normal psi techniques.
Do you see what I'm getting at? I'm not saying that that's the answer, but I'm just trying to play devil's advocate.

Do you get what I'm asking? Question

Steps:

Take a bath in epsum salt or sea sult,
Meditate whilst in the warm waters,
Burn insence, [meant to help with the goal]
Drink a hearbal potion, [meant to help with the goal]
Sit or lay
Close your eyes
Enter the mind.

Purification, progress, power, advancement, depth, understanding, nature, truth, etc.

Things can be deeply reprogrammed,
but the idea of shielding a part of yourself from yourself,
is repression.

Force and repression fail and weaken
When applied to the self or the nation.

What do you want for your destiny to be?

I agree with MetaAlchemy, repression is temporary. It pops back up eventually. It can be useful for short term things though.
