Telekinesis - do you believe in it?????

[h^2 O]

We've all heard stories of "Jim had a bad feeling that something had happened at home, and when he called he got no answer. He left work and arriving at his home he saw that it was engulfed in flames."
Twins are also said to have some psychic abilities. Universities run studies on it, trying to make people guess what card the professor is holding.
But do you think it's real? Honestly, I think that since we know so little about our brains, and use so little of it, there probably is the possibility of it. I doubt it is something that can be learned, but most likely occurs when there's some kind of mutation in the patuatary gland or something.
What I started playing with yesterday was to meditate (go meditation thread!) and try to think what friends are doing, what their surroundings are.
I guess I can somewhat believe this stuff as it's actually been documented. But it is pretty weird.
Just get really baked and mediate and focus on someone you know, or maybe don't know...and try to think where they are and what they're doing. Then call them and see if you were right. Chances are you aren't, but it's still kind of funky.
What would be even cooler is if you could get into their head and make them do stuff.
Yes, I'm reading Firestarter at the moment. Good book.

Telekinesis is the ability to move objects with the power of ones mind,..... your thinking of telepathy.

And, YES.

When I was very young, me and my sister (4 years older than me) would play with mind reading, trying to "Know" what the other was thinking, and telekinesis trying to move objects without touching them.

Personally, I've had 3 experiences where I was able to get objects to move, but they were all a LONG time ago. And never since, no matter how hard I've tried.

I think it has something to do with how cluttered ones mind becomes as you mature and begin to understand the complexity of the world around you, the ability to focus the energy's just gets lost in a jumble.

yeah i'm a believer . its a known fact that we as people only use about 10% of our brains capacity ... i also believe that if we ever reach the point where we can use 100% ... we will not need our physical bodies we will evolve into energy .

now i know my wife has something going on .... she can & has been able to tell when something is going to happen to someone she knows . not an exact thing but more of a feeling that stays with her till she finds out what has happened or if its happened without her knowing what ... the feeling goes away & most times she finds out later that something did in fact happen . shes done it to me so many times that i now listen to her gut feelings . if she says stay home i don't think you should go out tonight ... i do . cuz shes been right to many times .

one of the first exercises is to try to move a hanging piece of string. i've seen a mentalist bend an industrial spoon and shift paper accross a floor. ehud segev from israel- he is unbelievable

I can move my johnson merely with the thoughts I choose to have.
Telekinesis?
I'd say so.

While the jury is out on telekinesis, the idea that we only use a small part of our brains is a myth.

one of the first exercises is to try to move a hanging piece of string.

The second exercise involves figuring out what to hang the string from and how much string to hang

 

[TrichyTrichy]

the third exercise is using the string to create a 'cat's cradle'

 

[longearedfriend]

I'm open to it

and here for those that don't know what a cat's craddle is

( I didn't either )

 

[med_breeder]

In sports I have seen telekinesis. Many a goal or basket have been scored due to people willing it in with their minds.

Telekinesis - do you believe in it?????




if it gets me laid I'll believe in anything.......

 

[HempHut]

Well, there's $1 million waiting for anyone who can pass an objective test of their "abilities." No one has passed the preliminary testing phase.

http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/1m-challenge.html

Either all the "real" psychics are rich or...

 

[longearedfriend]

strange thing huh

its either the test thats too hard or

there is no such thing as bending ustensils/moving stuff

or maybe no one wants to put the magic in a box

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Stoner4Life again.

While the jury is out on telekinesis, the idea that we only use a small part of our brains is a myth.

The idea that 90% of the brain is essentially unused is silly-- we wouldn't be able to function. I think the idea is more about how we use our brains.

I once read somewhere that we have about 60,000 thoughts every day-- most of them useless judgments, self-limiting or otherwise needless. Worse still, we tend to repeat those same thoughts daily. If so, I believe that's what the 10% of brain belief is referring to.

Whether it's telekinesis (aka psychokinesis) or telepathy (aka thought-transference), google Dean Radin for some interesting research he's done on psychokinesis involving random number generators and his analysis of the ganzfeld experiments with respect to telepathy.

There is so much that we do not know about everything. Keep an open mind, and remember the past. The Earth being flat and the sun revolving around it, was the scientific norm of the day.

 

[Puffaluffagus]

It falls into the same category for me as bigfoot, the loch ness monster, and aliens visiting in spaceships, I really really want to believe, but I'm still waiting for some solid proof.

I found a video of H2o practising his new found super powers

 

[Khaleel]

it seems impossible because that "thing" you are moving is over there, and "you" are over here...

i walk with a spade in my hands, yet there is no spade.


(cookimonster that is exactly what came to my mind, hilarious post man lmao )
