Any recommendations for local-only IoT devices (Z-Wave, Zigbee, or a device I can flash with ESPHome) suitable for switching a relatively large, inductive 120V AC load?

Specifically, it's a septic pump that draws about 15A while running, but spikes up as high as 40A when it first starts. Makes me a little nervous to run it via a Sonoff POW or similar which would have been my go-to otherwise.

Also ich glaube die Katz möchte gerne "fließend Wasser" weil das wohl leckerer ist. Ich wollte mir dann eventuell so einen Trinkbrunnen kaufen, aber möchte nicht das der immer läuft, sondern nur wenn die Katz auch da ist.
Wie detektiere ich die Katz denn wohl am besten? Infrarot? Radar? RFID Chippdippy? Vielleicht hat ja einer ne einfache Idee die sich relativ einfach mit nem Arduino oder ESP umsetzen lässt.

Regarding the phenomenology of purely psychic or magical influences, when you think about someone, your mind shapes itself into a representation of that person, and in order to maximize rapport, sympathy, resonance, or decrease the distance between you and that person, there has to be an accurate representation. Your mind becomes more and more like that of the person you are trying to influence as you approach that person on a psychic plane.

We can locate things in space and time by going to the space where it is at and the time where it is at and interacting with it. How do you find a non-physical, psychic entity, such as a concept? We locate these entities through symbols. Symbols point to concepts. In this case, your mind makes itself that symbol. The connection between the symbol and the concept is reinforced through redundancy. The more similar your mind is to that other person, the stronger the connection between your intent and that person. I can typically intuit whether a person is psychic or magical by the degree and clarity I can sense them. The clearer they are to me, the more similar we are.

So, when you seek to influence a person, you open yourself up to that same influence. Magic is not a one-way thing because it is predicated on your intention, and your intention is connected to you, and is your mind using itself as a symbol and mediator. Your mind is the gateway and the mediator for magic. Everything has an inverse or a negation. If you are seeking to influence someone else per your will, then the inverse is them influencing you via their will. In the same way that every integer has an additive inverse, there is an inverse with this and by creating that object, you create a possible inverse.

Psychokinesis and the Manipulation of Probability

I was born with psychokinetic abilities more archetypal of science fiction than occultism. Many people do not understand how psychokinesis works. Probability, in the sense of luck, doesn’t actually exist. In statistical mechanics, probability corresponds to the frequency of occurrence of an event, often represented as a histogram. This probabilistic frequency is related to processes like absorption and emission of heat. Temperature, in the context of statistical mechanics, is associated with scalar quantities such as speed (the magnitude of velocity) and momentum (the product of mass and velocity). These are the statistical properties that a spell or psychokinesis influences, rather than luck. They are influencing kinetic properties with their intention, i.e., psychokinesis.

Chthonic Infernal Powers

Heat is disordered mechanical and rotational energy, so by manipulating disorder, entropy, and randomness, one is manipulating heat. As someone who exemplifies Chthonic, demonic, and draconic entities, I like to think of my psychokinesis and sorcerous abilities as a lower-dimensional manifestation of infernal powers. Influencing probabilities is a lower-dimensional manifestation of the iconic fire breath of a dragon or the fire powers of demons. It’s a lower-dimensional physical projection of the astral dragon’s fire breath. Astrologically, I am an Earth Dragon. This type of serpentine dragon is known as a Long, which is a wyrm similar to a Leviathan. Of course, this is a mythological narrative; however, it is a convenient abstraction and metaphor that encapsulates the connection among sorcery, psychokinesis, order, and statistical mechanical properties. As someone that is satanic, it also fits my spiritual beliefs, too. I am not an adept; instead, I am the serpent in the garden of Eden.

The Blurring of Boundaries

When you manipulate a probability, you are effectively determining the outcome or direction of things. On a smaller scale, you are influencing the oscillation of matter to perturb it. When a spell changes the odds of something happening, it is effectively organizing disorder, mechanical, and rotational energy – that is, heat – in a way that serves the practitioner’s desired outcome by creating a coordination of energy and matter. This might appear rather mechanical, but it isn’t. There is a psychic component to it.

When I influence the movement of a candle flame or light a candle, I become that candle flame. My psychokinesis is an abstraction of clairvoyance and psychokinesis, which is why I have a hard time simply sensing the future with a precognitive application of clairvoyance. I explain that here: Influencing the Future, One Wave at a Time.

Through verification and feedback, I can tell there is a veridical connection between that gestalt and fire. So, my mind is accurately shaping itself into the representation of fire, so in a sense, there is an aspect of me that is fire. Whenever I want to influence a candle flame or light a candle, I evoke that gestalt. There is a connection between me and the candle such that there is a blurring between me and the candle. I become the candle and that part of me becomes the candle flame. When you influence something with magic or psychic abilities, that illusion of separation disappears.

Gestalts and Ideograms in Remote Viewing

My consciousness will sense a candle flame in the other room clairvoyantly and will encode that noetic knowledge as a gestalt, an ideogram, into my internal schema. I can recognize that I am psychically sensing fire because of how it’s stored in the schema of my consciousness. I employ a similar system of gestalts that you might find in Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV), although I’ve developed my own model and templates. The sigils and magical languages I create and use denote those gestalts and act as ideograms. Gestalts are used differently in Parapsychological paradigms than in general Psychology.

“The word “gestalt” is not a remote viewing term, even though that is the place you will hear it most. It is, in fact, a psychological term which means the basic conceptual quality or basic aspect of any one thing. For example, “dew”, “lake”, “ocean”, “sweat”, “rain”, “ice”, etc., all have the gestalt of “water”. If you were to add “gasoline”, “bleach”, and “oil” to that list, the basic gestalt would be “liquid”.

Remote viewing starts off with the viewer getting the basic gestalts of the site, and then taking each gestalt individually and describing its individual qualities. So, a session might begin with the viewing finding that the target has the basic gestalts of “land”, “water”, and “manmade”. The second step or stage in the remote viewing process is to first give an actual description of the “land” at the site, then the “water” aspect of it, and then describe the “manmade” aspect of the target. In this way, a picture of the target builds up in a pollution-free environment.

One way of understanding the word, “gestalt” is to say that it is the “—iness” of the target. That is, “the target has water-iness, land-iness, and manmade-iness to it.”
—Lyn Buchanan

“Definitions:

Major Gestalt: The overall impression presented by all elements of the site taken for their composite interactive meaning. The one concept that more than all others would be the best description of the site.

Ideogram: The “I” component of the I/A/B sequence. The ideogram is the spontaneous graphic representation of the major gestalt, manifested by the motion of the viewer’s pen on paper, which motion is produced by the impingement of the signal line on the autonomic nervous system and the reflexive transmission of the resultant nervous energy to the muscles of the viewer’s hand and arm. The objectified ideogram has no “scale;” that is, the size of the ideogram relative to the paper seems to have no relevance to the actual size of any component at the site.

“A” Component: The “feeling/motion” component of the ideogram. The “feeling/motion” is essentially the impression of the physical consistency (hard, soft, solid, fluid, gaseous, etc.) and contour/shape/motion of the site. For example, the monitor has selected, unknown to the viewer, a mountain as the trainee’s site. At the iteration of the coordinate, the trainee produces an appropriate ideogram, and responds verbally, at the same time as he writes it: “Rising up, peak, down.” This is the “motion” sensation he experienced as his pen produced the ideogram. He then says “solid,” having experienced the site as being solid as opposed to fluid or airy. This is the “feeling” component of the Stage 1 process. There are at least five possible types of feelings: solidity, liquidity, energetic, airiness (that is, where there is more air space than anything else, such as some suspension bridges might manifest), and temperature. Other feeling descriptors are possible, but encountered only in rare circumstances and connected with unusual sites. These components and how they are expressed in structure will be discussed more fully below. Though in discussions of theory this aspect is usually address as “feeling/motion,” it will normally be the case in actual session work that the motion aspect is decoded first with the feeling portion coming second.”

I do know of a few chaos magicians – one in particular – who have taken Remote Viewing courses. They use gestalts and ideograms as the foundation for sigils, which they then enhance using editing programs like Gimp. The more experienced members of chaos magical orders will incorporate geographic coordinates and RV gestalts into the image layers of Gimp for sigils intended for group workings directed at a particular place or institution. I have witnessed one of these bizarre workings on Discord.

Whatever you seek to create, you have to become to actualize that thing, so if you seek to create a negative, horrific future, you become horrific. You are what you cast.
