(Omal expands on the heaviest levels of shielding such as stacked shielding and corrects some misconceptions that came up over that type. We learn most importantly that shields have a limited amount of energy once engaged in this type of shielding so practice when it isn’t needed is stressed.)

Omal: okay, back to our wayward, wandering monk over here.

(that gets Skip laughing)

Russ: are we on a particular subject or am I…… can I wander around?

Skip: ask around, wander wherever you want to.

Russ: working on shielding…….

Omal: yes.

Russ: okay? And I want to get a little information on various details of shielding and how to work with it a little bit.

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: okay? For example, if I want to block something out to the maximum extremes that I can okay?

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: I’m going to lay in a single shield and start it rotating one direction.

Omal: correct.

Russ: put a mirror finish on it.

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: start another two, both rotating in opposite directions from the first one…

Omal: correct.

Russ: well no the third one would be on the same direction as the first one and the one in the middle would be in an opposite direction.

Omal: yes I understood what you meant.

Russ: then I’d have the three layered shields on top of that. Now each of the first two layered shields have little bumps on it right? Like little…..

Omal: yes.

Russ: points and then the last would have like a static screen?

Omal: yes which is basically a hissing sound that you project from your mind.

Russ: correct. Now when I’m working with this……..okay the first question I got is, to increase power on the shields if necessary, do I increase energy output from myself or do I draw it from around me to strengthen it?

Omal: you would have to project from outside, you would have to project to it because you create the shields and you have to project to it. You would be able to suck in energy until you were sealed in. If you were using dome shields as opposed to spherical shields, spherical shields protect your feet as well as your head so therefore if you are creating shields and your isolated from the ground totally, how can you therefore suck energy in? If you suck energy in, what is happening?

Russ: you’re basically opening up your shields.

Omal: correct.

Russ: okay, the first three are spherical and the last three are domed.

Omal: correct.

Russ: now, so if you’re projecting energy out, you only have a limited supply of energy before you start wearing down.

Omal: correct.

Russ: therefore your shielding has only a limited amount of…….

Omal: life expectancy.

Russ: correct. Now how do you get around that, is there a way to do so?

Omal: no, apart from building up your stamina and reserves.

Russ: oh, so practice.

Omal: yes, that is what we have said in the past.

Russ: correct. Okay, my next question is concerning bending the dome shield to bring it into a point that you want to conform it to.

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: now the dome shields normally are solid but that sometimes isn’t a functional form. Can you instead go ahead then and bring it in to closer to your inner shields and bend the domes around and still have them work efficiently?

Omal: you can have whatever shape you wish as a shield as we have stated in the past. A dome shield works best because you apply pressure to one point and it is spread evenly over the area.

Russ: I see, so it’s best to keep the domes as domes….

Omal: correct.

Russ: not to warp them at all. You can warp your spherical shields as much as you want…..

Omal: correct.

Russ: the dome shields maintain those levels of….

Omal: yes, that is the easiest form to produce.

Russ: hmm, okay thank you.
