Telekinesis is the ability to mentally interact with physical objects. An example of this is when so called magicians bend spoons with their mind. Telekinesis is usually associated with using ones mind to move or interact with objects and physical things around them.

This Video is a pretty obvious red herring with it being suppression by authorities. With the rise of the popular Netflix show "Stranger Things" Telekinesis has been getting a lot more attention for being a supposed government conspiracy.

Telekinesis is a very interesting topic because it is so prevalent in a bunch of different sources of media, whether it be in movies or cartoons, video games, and even in books dating back centuries old. Telekinesis is a prime example of the following red flag of pseudoscience is Mystical Energy. This is the red flag I have chosen since it seems closest to the fact that telekinesis is rumored to be able to be learned by anybody if they try.

This image is of Uri Gellar a well known psychic who has demonstrated he has telekinetic abilities in multiple shows he has been an entertainer in, which was his main profession. Geller proclaims that his psychic powers were given to him by extra terrestrials. At one time he was sued for fraud, by claiming he had telepathy. Geller is also known for making psychic predictions for sports events and the like.

In this Website it showcases some alleged people who can use Telekinetic powers. An example of a person from this site is, Nina Kulagina who found out about her abilities while trying to discover other psychic abilities. She supposedly moved a number of objects with her mind, which led her to this conclusion. Another Case of this listed on the website was the case of, Uri Geller a well known psychic who has publicly demonstrated their telekinetic abilities.

Psychokinesis (PK)-sometimes referred to as telekinesis or mind over matter-is the ability to move things or otherwise affect the property of things with the power of the mind. Of psychic abilities, true psychokinesis is one of the rarest. Few have been able to demonstrate this ability, and even those demonstrations are highly contested by the skeptics. Do people have psychokinetic powers? Do you? Is there a way you can test and develop your PK abilities?

Several people have demonstrated remarkable PK abilities:

Nina Kulagina: One of the most celebrated and scrutinized psychics to claim psychokinetic powers, Nina Kulagina was a Russian woman who discovered her abilities while attempting to develop other psychic powers. She reportedly demonstrated her powers by mentally moving a wide range of nonmagnetic objects, including matches, bread, large crystal bowls, clock pendulums, a cigar tube, and a salt shaker, among other things. Some of these demonstrations have been captured on film. Skeptics contend that her abilities would not have stood up to scientific testing and that Kulagina was nothing more than a clever magician.

Stanislawa Tomczyk: Born in Poland, Tomczyk came to the attention of investigators when it was reported that startling poltergeist-like activity occurred spontaneously around her. She could control some telekinetic feats, but only under hypnosis. In this hypnotic state, Tomczyk took on a personality that called itself "Little Stasia," and Tomczyk could levitate small objects when she placed her hands on either side of them.

In the early 1900s, one investigator, Julien Ochorowicz, watched these levitations at a very close range and observed something like fine threads emanating from her palms and fingers, although they were examined carefully before the experiment. It didn't seem to be a trick. "When the medium separates her hands," Ochorowicz observed, "the thread gets thinner and disappears; it gives the same sensation as a spider's web. If it is cut with scissors, its continuity is immediately restored." In 1910, Tomczyk was tested by a group of scientists at the Physical Laboratory in Warsaw, where she produced remarkable physical phenomena under strict testing conditions.

Uri Geller: Geller is one of the most well-known "psychics" who has publicly demonstrated feats of psychokinesis: spoon and key bending have become almost synonymous with Geller's name. Although many skeptics and magicians consider his metal-bending performances nothing more than adroit sleight-of-hand, Geller has allegedly shown that he can manifest the effects over great distances and in multiple locations. On a British radio show in 1973, after demonstrating key bending to the astonishment of the host, Geller invited the listening audience to participate. Just minutes later, phone calls began pouring into the radio station from listeners all over the U.K. reporting that knives, forks, spoons, keys, and nails began to bend and twist spontaneously. Watches and clocks that had not run in years began to work. It was an event whose success surprised even Geller and thrust him into the spotlight.

Some magicians have been able to duplicate some of these effects, but there may be legitimacy to this telekinetic phenomenon. In April 2001, University of Arizona parapsychology professor Gary Schwartz conducted a "spoon-bending party" at which about 60 students were able to bend spoons and forks, with varying degrees of success, seemingly with the power of their minds.

Some researchers contend that the most common form of psychokinesis is one that is not consciously intended. Poltergeist activity, they suggest, might be caused subconsciously by stress, emotional turmoil, or even hormonal peaks. Without conscious effort, people can cause china dishes to fly off shelves, objects to break, and loud noises to emanate from their houses' walls, among other effects.

In the same way, PK might also be responsible for phenomena experienced at séances. Table tilting, knockings, and levitation might not be caused by contact with spirits, but by the minds of the participants. And, yes, many séances have been proven to be hoaxes, although the paranormal phenomena documented at some remains unexplained.

How psychokinesis works is unknown for certain, but many parapsychologists think that it is a demonstration of the influence of a person's brain on the physical world.

Robert L. Shacklett, at the Speculations about PK blog, writes that laboratory tests demonstrate that "the release of relatively large amounts of physical energy can be triggered by thought power." And this power can move or influence things, essentially, because cosmologically we are all connected to everything else. "'Thought' takes place at a different level than the physical (call it 'mind') but interacts with the physical through a weak coupling between physical energy and a more subtle energy form," he writes. "The physical level operates in accordance with natural law except at the times when thought interacts with it."

How remains the puzzle. But there are theories:

Some researchers suspect there might be a quantum connection. Unpredictable, often bizarre effects have been documented in the world of subatomic particles, which is ruled by the perplexing laws of quantum mechanics. Are our minds capable of directing subatomic particles and energies in a way that results in PK phenomena?

Another theory is that psychokinesis is the manipulation of a sort of human "magnetic field" around the body, which can be concentrated in a specific area. For this to work, you must be able to relax completely and focus your attention without distraction.

Another speculation is that mediums or participants in séances are able to coalesce sound or heat waves within a room to form coherent energy which can then be directed at an object, such as a table, causing it to move.

Although the "how" of PK remains unknown, research and experimentation on this fascinating phenomenon continues in respected labs around the world.

How many people have powers of telekinesis?

"Everyone has the potential to be able to be telekinetic," says Deja Allison at Telekinesis on Crystalinks. "Telekinesis is created by higher levels of consciousness. It cannot be created by 'wishing it' to happen on the physical level. The energy to move or bend an object is created by a person's thoughts created by their subconscious mind."

Mario Varvoglis, author of "PSI Explorer," suggests that the best way to begin testing psychokinetic powers is not by trying to move a table or even a matchbook. Varvoglis says it's much better to see if you can influence movement on a microscopic level-micro-PK. Micro-PK has been tested for years with such devices as random number generators, in which the subject tries to influence the random outcome of the machine in a way that is much greater than chance. Some of the most interesting tests of this kind were conducted at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Laboratory (PEAR) laboratory at Princeton University-and the results show that some people really can influence the computerized random number generators with the power of their minds.

Spirit Online offers several methods for improving your PK:

1. Meditate daily for half an hour (or as long as you are able).

2. Attempt PK at least once a day. Give yourself a good 30-60 minutes to try it.

3. Focus on one method for at least a week; if it shows no results, switch methods.

4. Be at ease; instead of taking it too seriously, think of it as an experiment, a game. If you try too hard, you'll end up frustrating yourself and you'll get nowhere.

5. Don't give up.

Everything You Need to Know About Telekinesis

Most people associate the ability known as telekinesis with super heroes or science fiction like X-Men or "Dungeons and Dragons". The fact of the matter is that many people believe in telekinesis and relate paranormal occurrences, such as Ghosts and Poltergeists to this phenomena. The thing is that it has not been a proven fact that telekinesis is a real thing or not so for now it is classified as a pseudoscience.

"Who here is psychic? Raise my hand!"

That's an old joke, but there are several claimed types of psychic powers, including precognition (knowing the future) and telepathy (describing things at a remote location). But for sheer impressiveness it's hard to beat psychokinesis, the ability to move objects through mind power. The word is derived from the Greek words for "mind" and "motion" and is also called PK or telekinesis.

Fictional psychokinetics are easy to find: The popular X-Men comic and film franchise includes the character Jean Grey, whose powers include extrasensory perception and psychokinesis. The 2009 movie "Push" is about a group of young Americans with various psychic abilities who team up and use their paranormal powers against a shadowy U.S. government agency.

Though many Americans believe in psychic ability (about 15 percent of us, according to a 2005 Baylor Religion Survey), scientific evidence for its existence remains elusive. Some people even link psychokinesis to the spiritual world, suggesting for example that some reports of ghosts - such as poltergeists - are not manifestations of the undead at all, but instead the unconscious releases of a person's psychic anger or angst.

If people could move everyday objects with nothing more than their thoughts, this should be quite easy to demonstrate: Who wouldn't like their latte delivered by a psychic barista from across the counter, floating it right to your hand with a mere gesture?

This doesn't happen, of course. Instead researchers have focused on what they term "micro-PK," or the manipulation of very small objects. The idea is that if the ability exists, its force is obviously very weak. Therefore, the less physical energy that would have to be exerted on an object to physically move it, the more obvious the effect should be. For this reason, laboratory experiments often focus on rather mundane feats such as trying to make dice land on a certain number at an above-chance rate, or influencing a computerized random number generator.

Because of this change in methodologies, psychokinesis experiments rely more heavily on complex statistical analyses; the issue was not whether a person could bend a spoon or knock a glass over with their minds, for example, but whether they could make a coin come up heads significantly above 50 percent of the time over the course of 1,000 trials.

Spiritualism and mediums

The idea of people being able to move objects through mind power alone has intrigued people for centuries, though only in the late 1800s was it seen as an ability that might be scientifically demonstrated. This occurred during the heyday of the early religion Spiritualism, when psychic mediums claimed to contact the dead during séances, and objects would suddenly and mysteriously move, float, or fly by themselves across the darkened room, seemingly untouched by human hands. Though many people were convinced - including, ironically, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes - it was all a hoax. Fraudulent psychics resorted to trickery, using everything from hidden wires to black-clad accomplices to make objects appear to move untouched.

As the public slowly grew wise to the faked psychokinesis, the phenomenon faded from view. It was revived again in the 1930s and 1940s, when a researcher at Duke University named J.B. Rhine became interested in the idea that people could affect the outcome of random events using their minds. Rhine began with tests of dice rolls, asking subjects to influence the outcome through the power of their minds. Though his results were mixed and the effects were small, they were enough to convince him that there was something mysterious going on. Unfortunately for Rhine, other researchers failed to duplicate his findings, and many errors were found in his methods.

In the 1970s, Uri Geller became the world's best-known psychic and made millions traveling the world demonstrating his claimed psychokinetic abilities, including starting broken watches and bending spoons. Though he denied using magic tricks, many skeptical researchers observed that all of Geller's amazing feats could be - and have been - duplicated by magicians.

Public interest in psychokinesis returned in the 1980s. One person nationally known for claimed psychokinetic ability, James Hydrick, tried to demonstrate his powers on the television show "That's My Line" in 1981, following several successful television appearances. He claimed to move small objects, such as a pencil or the pages of a telephone book, with his mind. Host Bob Barker consulted with skeptic James Randi, who suspected that Hydrick was merely discreetly blowing on the pages to make them move.

To prevent this method of trickery Randi placed styrofoam bits around the open book, as the lightweight pieces would clearly be disturbed if the pages were moving because of Hydrick's breath instead of his mind. After many awkward minutes in front of Barker, Randi, a panel of judges, and the live studio audience, a flustered Hydrick finally said that his powers weren't cooperating. Hydrick later admitted that his psychokinetic powers had been faked, and marveled at how easy it had been to fool the public.

Frauds and fakery

The history of psychokinesisis a history of frauds and fakery, both proven and suspected.

Even many researchers admit that the data fall far short of scientific standards of proof; researcher Russell Targ, in his book "The Reality of ESP" (2012, Quest Books) acknowledges that "the evidence for laboratory psychokinesis is quite weak."

Recent advances in virtual reality technology may, however, be the next best thing. In 2017, a company called Neurable announced plans to develop psychokinesis - or at least a virtual reality form of it - for a game called Awakening. Using a combination of eye movement tracking technology and electroencephalogram (EEG) sensors in a headset, the game allows a player to move and manipulate objects in a virtual world merely by looking and thinking. After an initial calibration process that takes several minutes, the players can select and move computer-generated images.

Perhaps one day technology will allow us to actually move objects with our thoughts, but until then we must be satisfied with the power depicted in fiction and fantasy.

This website shows the effects, the different types, and the way you can use the ability known as telekinesis. This is confirmation bias since this website is completely biased towards the fact that telekinesis is a real thing. The site is an html site so its usually untrustworthy due to the fact they usually don't site there sources or provide any MLA type citations.

Telekinesis or Psychokinesis (PK) also refers to moving objects from one place to another without using physical contact. It also means re-shaping of objects using the mind's energies, such as bending a spoon, or key, by just holding it and focusing. The term 'Psychokinesis' comes from the Greek words psyche meaning life or soul and kineisis meaning to move.
