Not actually bypassing laws of physics[]

There is no reason to believe based on the books that what happened was that the adept moved so fast because he bypassed laws of physics in some way. No such thing is implied anywhere. When Jessica trains Farad'n in Prana-Bindu, she advises him to imagine himself at a different place. However, in the same "scene" she also talks about perfectly controlling his muscles to achieve the result.

This leads me to believe that the psychological change is required because the feat strived for is so extraordinary and in a sense "hard" (and perhaps because such supreme control of muscles is required that it must stem from the deep subconscious), not because there would be some New Age hogwash rule in effect that would mean that if you believe something is real, it will become real "by itself", somehow outside of the otherwise binding natural laws of the universe.

Feel free to edit my post, this is the first time I have ever edited a Wiki of any kind.

Limitations[]

"Possibly due to inherent limitations within the human psyche or physical body, the Weirding Way was only effective at short distances, usually up to a few meters."

Where is the source of that affirmation? I think there is nothing about that in the books. Lisan Al-Gaib 19:28, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Teleportation[]

I seem to have missed where this was mentioned, are we certain it doesn't mean that the practitioner zones out and it just feels like teleportation? Tyc 18:05, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
