Aura Guardians & Psychics: What's the difference?

@The Outrage I don't know where get this source stuff comes from there are energies and the are manipulated in different ways there is no "source" and there is no logical need for one.

Just because you say there is no need for one does not make it true. You're telling me this 'energy' just appears out of nowhere?

A loop =/= cycliar logic.

But in this case it is. The spirit manipulates the mind, the mind manipulates the physical, the physical manipulates the spirit (which, by the way, you did not explain how it does so, just as how you did not mention how spirit affects mental energy). So when the spirit manipulates the mind, is it actually the physical that's manipulating it by proxy? But then the mind manipulates the physical!

What does the "spiritual manipulation of mental energy" even mean? That you're using your spirit to manipulate mental energy? So how are you doing that? The spirit can't be conceived as anything else other than a metaphysical force.

Phychic powers were always pertrayed as mentally based in medfia

Which does not actually go against my proposition that psychic abilities are internally based

Aura is was called spiritual energy and is pertray that way when you look at the 8th movie such as the aura being part of one's pathos.

While we're bringing other media into this, psychic abilities are also portrayed as spirituality. Of course, in Pokemon, there's a bigger gap between spirituality and psychic powers, which, again, links back to the analogy of shifting from harmony between the internal and external (i.e. Aura) to a focus on how the internal can manipulate the outside world

Psychic powers HAVE TO BE MENTALLY cause posession of these powers is called extra sensory PERCEPTION veiw point is heavily linked with thought therefore psychics are mentally based. Also you must take into account everytime a psychic type is called a genius. Goku for example has tons of profancicy with spiritual energy but he is dumb so he unlikely to use psychic powers if that weren't the case why would they call psychic types genuises.

Extrasensory perception is simply reception of information that is not from the typical physical senses. This definition confounds it with Aura, as those abilities too allow the user to gain information from sources other than the physical senses, hence the debate.

The only Psychics called geniuses in this franchise would be Alakazam and Metagross, two of many Psychic types that don't share that title. There are also many non-Psychics that are attributed with great intelligence (i.e. Dragonite and Lapras). As far as human psychics go, the most proficient and powerful (Sabrina and Caitlin) are not geniuses.

As for the link with thought--thought is a production of the brain. Emotions are also based on the brain. Aura abilities, while called spiritual, is heavily associated with emotions. At the base of all emotions is an evaluation of whether something is good or bad--basically the simplest of thoughts. The higher order cognitions you likely attribute to Psychics would have developed later--again, in line with my theory that Psychic abilities developed from Aura.
