When pk was happening around me a lot, the RSPK kind of thing where things happened with no control on my park, that didn’t seem to require any kind of change in my state of consciousness that I could notice. Unless being really frightened or upset counts as a change in consciousness. The way I perceived my surroundings didn’t change. That kind of pk isn’t as common anymore. But admittedly, I do my best to avoid situations that might set it off. Maybe being a pk agent was my SOB? (I had to use that acronym! )

I’ve been working on doing more controlled pk in hopes of gaining some control over my situation. (Basically, I’ve found a more discrete way of venting.) I wonder when I experiment successfully with controlled pk if I am going into an altered state of consciousness? Things tend to look as if they are almost curving up on themselves. I don’t feel like I normally do. I feel sort of electric. And “things” don’t seem very real, but the colors around things do. There is a funny coherence, like everything is lining up somehow.

I think doing meditation has helped me pay attention to what I’m experiencing when the pk occurs, so maybe before I didn’t notice the changes as much. It does seem like being a pk agent was more like a state of being and that doing controlled pk is more like learning to change the particular state of consciousness I’m in.

I could be mistaken though. Perhaps I misunderstand your terminology?
