DO YOU BELIEVE IN TELEKINESIS?

In simple terms “telekinesis” would mean moving an object by the power of the mind. Do you believe in it? Scientists don’t. Scientists don’t believe in anything for which there is no scientific explanation! Yesterday, I was watching a video showing the scientifically unexplained process of simultaneous yawning by us, and can you believe me, watching that I too yawned! But yawning is real. But, does science have to boot it away rather than trying to find an explanation for it? ESP is considered real although science cannot explain it.

But in the last one century, magicians used their skill to demonstrate telekinesis. For example you can make a pencil roll without touching it. You only have to bend your head and quietly blow out air, and voila, a pencil rolls away. Thus magic brought a bad name to the real phenomenon of telekinesis that depends on mind power. I remember the astounding demonstrations of Uri Geller who could bend a spoon. The whole world was astounded by him for years till one day his bluff was called off. He was doing magic. And he admitted to it. With a few hours’ practice, you and I can learn the simple trick of bending a spoon!

But for centuries, telekinesis has had recognition as a spirit based phenomenon. The spirits of dead people would shift tables, chairs etc. Such phenomenon is true despite the lack of any scientific explanation.

In recent decades interest has been growing in the power of telekinesis by human beings. Small items can be moved by a few inches by such power. This is also known as psychokinesis. Average Americans began to take an interest in this. If you go to the home page of YouTube and search for “telekinesis”, a very large number of videos mostly posted by Americans can be seen. They tell you that you can acquire this mind power within a week. What is basically required is meditation and concentration. I do not think that that is fake. After all, the objects are only shifted only a few inches. 

(1)The Egely Wheel in the video below, is an elementary experimental proof. The wheel revolves by itself.

(2)A more interesting demonstration of psychokinesis is the Psi Wheel. This demonstrates amazingly how mind energy can move a little paper object like an umbrella go round and round on a pivot. Below is a video that you will find very interesting.

(3) The following is a chi power demonstration, of a low grade. This also need not need much training.

But the real Chi Masters of China particularly develop enormous power through years of concentrated training. It would appear that they obtain their power from the cosmic energy around us. They can fell down human beings who come near them (like attackers). I don’t propose to post more videos here. Please type “chi power demonstration” inside the search box of YouTube home page. Right on the first page you will note about 20 amazing videos and you would feel like seeing each one of them.

TELEPORTATION:

This is the power to make an object disappear from one place and appear at another place. This is within the powers of siddhars, one may say. The late Sathya Sai Baba was once being interviewed by an American journalist. Baba asked him his year of birth and in a flash produced an American coin minted in that particular year and presented it to him! I believe that this is nothing but teleportation. Obviously somewhere in the USA, one coin would have disappeared and found missing! This episode is contained in a book on the Baba by the American.
