The term 'Psychokinesis' comes from the Greek words psyche meaning life or soul and kineisis meaning to move. and poltageist activity is sometimes blames on young emotional/kids doing it. [reincarnaion of a stroppy budhist? perhaps]

J. B. Rhine and his associates in 1934, investigating whether subjects could affect the throws of dice. Similar experiments were soon conducted by many other parapsychologists and i always got the sense as a kid, of knowing when i had won a raffly, got it again at a tarot conference, when i won twice!! those are the days a positive mind, and its a weird feeling, when you anticipating something good to happen, without knowing what it is. try looking and the world of poker and some of those feats as well.

1989 meta-analysis by Diane Ferrari and Dean Radin of all such experiments in the literature from 1935 to that date showed an overall hit rate of 51.2% compared with chance expectation of 50%. Notable researchers who pursue RNG experiments are Helmut Schmidt, who pioneered them in the 1960s; Robert Jahn and his associates at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Lab center (PEAR); and Dean Radin. A 1987 meta-analysis by Radin and Roger Nelson of such experiments from 1959 to that date covering 832 studies (235 of them control studies) showed a hit rate of about 51% for the experimental studies compared to 50% for the control studies (i.e. comparable to the dice tossing studies), with odds against chance of about 1 trillion to one. There are critics of this analysis. RNG studies continue today, with long-term studies conducted at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) center. RNG devices are also used by the Global Consciousness Project

Perhaps the most remarkable (and controversial) PK experiments involving RNGs were first conducted by Helmut Schmidt. Noting that some reported psi phenomena do not appear to be time bound, and that some interpretations of quantum theory posit a relationship between observer and the observed and the indeterminacy of some events until observed, Schmidt designed experiments in which a subject was asked to influence the output of an RNG after the output had already been recorded, i.e. the subject was being asked (unknown to the subject) to affect the behavior of the RNG over an interval of time in the past. There have also been studies of possible mental influence on living systems, such as the effects of prayer and remote healing, or, in research conducted in the former Soviet Union, the ability of one subject to induce hypnosis or wakefulness in another subject remotely.

In the meantime uri geller famous for bending spoons, geniune or hoax?
Ninel Kulagina, russian milirary, and kgb was she any good? and could she stop [frog] hearts. or was it just some elaborate fraud? and more to the point can you duplicate it? and learn to use the power of your mind trying to visualis psi balls, and things like that. what is the human energy field? can we control it? and how much time do we need to spend in meditation before we get results? random vidios another external course

Light a candle. Relax and focus on the candle flame. Imagine that you are merging with a candle flame, becoming this candle flame, being this candle flame. What you're really doing is merging your energy field with the energy field of the candle.
In NLP terms, by focusing on the candle and tuning into the candle, you are "pacing" the candle, by directing the flame to move where you want it to move, you're "leading".
When you feel that you have established good enough "rapport" with the candle - imagine its flame extending and becoming longer. When you succeed with this, then imagine it shrinking back, becoming smaller and smaller; then bending to the side, etc.
When you're done experimenting, just imagine yourself returning back to your normal state or mind, "emerging" from the candle flame.

i did get some movement here, sort of danced to the left/right - but its hard to tell if its the wind or no at times, and sometimes it flickers and yes you'll burn your eyes out/be unable to read anything if you stare at it for long! perhaps a cover or something else, either way its good to relax, if it wasn't for the eyes. (protection?) sunglasses perhaps, in the meantime it is relaxing playing with a flame. and you will note heat rises. and its how above it, and cold to the sides, as you reflect on the nature of heat/light and attraction inter alia. i.e what is it? a particle which we manipulate as it shift and moves, and yes? what is it? movement aside...

floating object, i.e. toothpick floating in a bowl

pendulum  

you use these for yes/no responses. and when i first did it. i notice the spins getting better but it could have been hand twitiches. try and hang it up on its own, or do it from rest. please note, i observed better (more violent movement) just wanting it to spin as a side effect to the other stuff, and well the problem with nothing happening is, you give up face defeat and dismiss it as crap. and thats the problem with this stuff, as you have to train your mind to believe it works! which is why you may need to cheat and do it as part of normal yes/no stuff (when it really doesn't matter) so you do it by mistake type of thing.. rather then worying about results.

 However relaxing and visualising in front of a candle is easy to do. though the problem with that one is. your eyes go blur/you get retinal scaring and can't read anything for awhile. which is why pendalums may be a safer place to start! as its nice and easy and simple. as i try and find mine out again, your going to want to look at dowsing as well/findig stuff on maps as their is some serious stuff you can do with pendalums other then this! which is worthy of experimentation like finding stuff on a map. and well as for muscle twiching - if my muscles in my fingers were getting stronger doing it more, then yeah... nice try... as i think their is more going on there with the human energy field (see reiki qui wong for more, i just wished i hadn't hovered my pendalum up, and given my crystals away to an ex along with a £100+ athame, ok i'm covering i stopped, i messed up. as i reflect on the crystal con. i.e. how you get an image to stick it next to ear something happens that night, and then you don't get it duplicted a gain? what is it with that crap? is something tunning to you? you to it? or is it al an illusion? as i have no idea - who is doing the work! and well thats perhaps neither here or there, but yeah it seems a con at times. do nothing get good results, do lots get nothing? and yeah... perhaps it isn't you at all - and well perhaps it is?

Anyway i'm going to have to find the bloody thing (empty the vacume out - i don't hoover much/and its still in there amongst that dumps).  as those things re really over priced  in some stores! so check around) the starter kits, and can you believe their are entire books written on the bloody things? so yes... a kids toy no more. its time to swing and relax. i think this is something i left behind and am now coming back to (4 years later inter alia) so yeah funney how things go. results are slow. you have to play around with them daily. yes/no answers and well i got bored with it/gave it up and i think that was my mistake! giving up too early... and you have to have fun with it. rather then making it a chore. so try and just relax. rather then stressing out, thinking it has to happen straight away.

edit: ok tying that quartz crystal to a bit of a string, and holding it up is geting way too much movement, perhaps i need to stick it to something which doesn't move after all! i forgot how much fun these thigns were, byyyyyyyyyyye nothing at all stationary, i'm obviously a very sh**ty witch as i reflect back on. am i attuning to it, it to me? or is someone else doing all the hard work - as i've never figured that one out at all, and well i perhaps never will. as in all these exersises the visualisation seem fake, or rather i'm not sure if it matters what you visualise, and its perhaps your mind just wanting to do it, but this goes back to meditation/intent and yes... does it matter? (i need a lot more practice here) though i may update here later if i get a chance, as i keep coming back to crystals and healing as well... hmmmmn anyway i always seem to find i get too much movement (and then its perhaps not me?) or too little, and how long am i supposed to do this for? just you wait, an anoying kid is bound to walk up to it, and get it moving in now time, and then you really will be p**ssed!

psi wheel - take pin stick it in a box, or something upright. get a bit of paper fold it in a square. balance it on top of the pin. and then put a glass over it (remove the effect of winds) and meditate for awhile... visualise a tunel from yourself? to the paper moving it... and keep that up for awhile.

This is another toy you can get, which moves when you stick you hands near it. essentially a profesional pin wheel - with it balancing on the point of a crystal - and well it fools most people - and well its a good starting point, but it appears to move just with air currents, and well when you get right down to it. its perhaps too sensitive! as you won't know if its your breathing, or anything else. suppsedly measures vitality. i.e. based on how fast it spins, when your hands go near it. but well its so easy to move it - with a draft, that i'm not sure if its you or the time it takes to circulate the room half the time. and well back then i dismissed it as crap, all of it. but i'm coming back to it more. as you don't spend 12 hours in meditation going "i have the power to move objects" as a repeatativ koan . If you think its a con.... though yes 18 years is a long time, for some of those tricks people do at will -perhaps why all the scary people you see are old! See akidio as well, the western mind hates this type of thing, and even when your getting results its going to take awhile before you come back to it. as its an uphill struggle at times, your mind want it, and fears it. especially those people who go into you early on, dismiss your ideas. and why you need to read round more as i am convinced its doable. but i have no results yet (in this) to speak of. and yes, its all in the mind - and how you shy away from things.... as thats the fear, and thats the block and one you will have to overcome on your own. in silence perhaps, until you eventualy reach the point, where you do have something to show off. and even then they will hate you, call you a fake? so why nother really? unles you really want to stop hearts - then you might get some satisfaction? shut someone up...

notes and observations:

when i first started out - i was mearly intent on visualising auras in the bath. did it every time I was in there for a few months straight. i sucked at trying to see the spot in the head. and was visualising psi balls. i.e. trying to see the ripple effect, as visualised energy form. i stopped this, after i started getting electric shocks in the bath. never went back to it as i was more interested in dream, and other stuff. and auras kicked in of their own later on. so 4 years into psychic developmet/research i've not had much look with it and dismissed it as crap/too much effort. however i've started to think - this may be too hastly. perhaps its the monks raising their body temperate by 17 degrees, perhaps its the akido and tai chi and people throwing people, and perhaps i'm bored as i remember back to the days of starting out with yes/no on a pendalum. and remembering that actually i did notice it was starting to spin more i used it, and why the hell did i stop doing it? ok yes/no is crap but if i'd kept it up day in day out. what would i be now? in the meantime - the problem with the energy exersise in the bath was, simply : it well makes you not want to meditate in the bath much at all. anyway lost of scarpy s**t was happening back them, other effects as i was looking for proof of communication was it spirit/was it telepathy as i got into clairvoiyance and stuff like that. and well this lot got ignored, until now! ha perhaps its the heart stopping russian bird, or the fact i'm in a mood. but i've decided to do it more. as i am convinced you can change reality, and tune your mind into letting you do this type of stuff.

12 hours of meditation isn't enough (at least for me) however the more you learn with healing and stuff like that - i think the more you ahve to keep doing it daily. those chinese people who seem to get reallyimpressive results have been doing it daily for 18 years. the same thing, over and over! repeatative isn't it? as you reflect on is it really possible, are they pulling your leg, and well couldn't i just fake it instead? and well if you can fake it, i think its a mistake and defeats the point- training your mind to actually do this thing. see i'm crap, can't kill anyone (yet) and yeah we won't let you know, either. If we do figure it out either - so how about you take that one, and shove it up your arse! mr james randy and other people who try and talk/scare people out of learning this stuff... i sucked at scryinhg as well, as i made this mistake of trying to make it into a big thing, and got stressed out, so you may want to do it in silence, though i think if they do want to show me anything, they just do. (flashes in my head) i ignore it, assumes its related to what im doing here (usually it isn't) and yeah i go, arse... and write it down as proof. though the thing is, no one believes this type of thing - unless youc an do it, in front of them, but you may want to prove it to yourself first, get your confidence up! then kill them, when they piss you off later. with the new found heart trick inter alia... ahh got to love those russian chicks as some people are good at some things, and not others. and yes it takes people a differnt amount of time, to learn each trick. so find the psychic stuff your good at, and build up the rest slowley, too much of one thing may drive you insane with boredom, but you'll be good at something, as it depends on you. that doesn't mean you use it as an excuse not to learn something. as well you have to try! and you will learn it sooner or later, so why not today! baby steps, some each day and it soon builds up over time. and please dont kill your school teachers/boss straight away! as i'd like to get some fun out of it first (before the clamp downs start)

My issues with people like that, is that they over do it at the best of times [they have no respect, so people who are genuninly trying to help are f**ked over by them. though its infuritating as hell to listen to a psychic who doesnt regurgitate stories and or proof of why they believe a certain thing, as its a combination of both mind sets], as i didn't believe in the psychic side (or appreciate it really), and only came to believe in it. via my own experiences. as my intial reaction back when i was 21. was to lock up when i first encountered someone claiming to be a reiki practionair, i couldn't deal with the idea. and was dead fast in refusing it, and what with suggestion, cold readin, proof is anoying as hell. i tried to stick to examples (the bigies) where i had no contact with people, and or events before hand. but its not enough, as i would have to predict when i could get that information as well! as it happesn a lot (in random patches of frequency) just not with any consistency, and so argggggggggghhhhhhhhhh. how to take down these pr*cks, once and for all. with proper proof. and do i need permission to do it? (from up above, and if so could i trust it? or is it me and my mind... which is another thing) anyway i convinced myself the psychic side was real over a period of time, and the more i learn, the more i know, and yet... he does have a point. proof. as lots of plausible hearsay stories isn't helping at all. i can trust my own experiences and my own judgement. but i wouldn't believe them either if i were him, and so yeah! one of these days, he will be in a pub, with some random strangers, and he will get his proof, but it won't be planned, or something like that! which is a bit defeatest, unless we get better of course. so back to the meditation, and back to practice and control your mind inter alia bon sur! false bravado at a time like this. as either i have to shrug it off, or it comes down to whos the better man. me for having those experiences, or him for what? why do i need someone like that to pass judgement over my life, and my experiences? as its hard enough when you loose your friends to it. which is what happened, when i tried to recount my earlier dreams/clairvoyance examples. as they go into you and its not nice. and well i don't blame anyone for staying silent, but just once. i wished someone would take this son of a bitch down as they try and make people out to be mentally insane, and thats not good at all. and having been on the recieving end of the mental health lot. when chrisitans went into me for trying to share my experiences, i don't blame anyone for being cautious as even today witches are being murded in india/kenia, nigeria and well it has to end...

Gradually over time i built a set of evidence up which convined me, and rulled superstition out, but if i were to hang around people like that. I would be a raving loon, a nut job and its infuriating as hell. as the entire psychic occult side is useless without verifyable control. precognative dreams, auras, pscometry (the biggies) tend to kick in randomly, and give you a sacre/enough information to process it/believe it [every religion on earth] and yet control and proof at a predetermined time escapes me. as all my stories sound impressive [make me look like an expert] but they are so far apart in the grand scheme of things to make it look worthless. however its not worthless to me, and thats where belief comes in, and its anoying as hell. as you can choose to relay images you see, but their is no proof that those informations are acurate in all cases. and while confidence may breed success, it still presents a problem. as it needs to be controlled and done at will. you have to know you can take that ba*stard down. as i don't trust it at all, but i use it, and i live with it, and i know it works, its just i'm crap, though i proved more to me (what i thought was impossible) through the training. as i never believed in lucid dreams, auras and stuff like that, until i saw it and did it. and thats the problem. this man needs to be taken down! the future of humanity depends on it, if you will! as the hard bits done, proving to myself the psychic side exists, now the hard bit is trying to do it at will! and then we shall see, what happens next!
