Atlantis: The quest for power

http://www.crystalinks.com/telekinesis.html

Everyone has the potential to be able to be telekinetic. There are
different things that can have a sort of psychotropic affect on the
brain. Meaning, affecting the mental activity, behavior perception.
Even stress and abuse can cause one to cultivate certain
psychokinetic abilities. I am referring here to the actual ability,
not certain mental illness that can mimic telepathy and such.
Sometimes, "hearing voices", or "visions" can be the result of very
serious emotional, mental illness or organic disturbances. I'm not a
medical doctor. If you think you are having any problems with
anything of that nature, please see your doctor.

The brain is the hardware that is utilized by the Mind. Our brain is
capable of generating a neural network that when "pushed" can actual
step up an energy ready to be utilized beyond our 5 senses. Neurons
do communicate with each other. There is all sorts of low level
subatomic and atomic dialogue going on all the time. Even at a
cellular level there is communication going on. I remember years
ago, I saw a documentary on, Cellular Communication. In essence,
what was done is a the scientist scraped some cells from the inside
of several participants mouths and placed them in a petre dish. They
connected those cells to a lie-detector type looking device. They
took the subjects into another room several feet away from "their"
cells..

As the participants were introduced to different stimuli, naturally
their bodies would react. What was amazing - so did their cells in
the other room!! To further their experiment, they had the
participants walk further and further from their cells in the lab -
still when stimuli was introduced, those cells in the other room
would respond. Next, they detached the electronic equipment to their
amazement the cells in the other room still responded!! Finally,
they let the subjects walk out of the building on to the street, as
the they came in contact with other people or other stimulus, those
cells continued to respond.

Not all mind you, but one subject was 5 miles from "her' cells in
the lab when she crossed the street, she was almost hit by a car
pulling out. Her cells back at the lab responded!! I find that
incredible!! We are missing so much in our physical, linear
confinement! Psychokinetic ability is no different.

Telekinetic Energy is Natural
These abilities are very natural. Not "freak" happenings or mutant
manifestations unnatural to human development. As I mentioned
earlier it, primarily, this is a Mind/Brain/Consciousness related
phenomenon, though, certainly it's roots are sub-atomic, like all
manifestations. Some research shows there is a lot of activity in
the cortex of the brain in relationship to this. Most of what we
term psychic phenomenon or mystical happening happens in the "off'
phases of consciousness.

Consciousness always is in the of on/off phasing, blinking off and
on, as it where. Off/On phasing phenomenon is photon related
manifestation of energy and light. The energy we are dealing with
here is tiny pockets or "quanta" of energies. The ability to bend
spoons, levitate is happening at the other levels being only
manifested as a physical event upon the space/time shell frame which
we interpret as our reality. There is also a good deal of illusion
as well. One must be able to discern the reality of both. Sometimes,
there is a vast difference in what we THINK we see vs what IS
actually happening.

What Not To Do
Before you get started trying to bend the spoons and forks, let me
give you some tips on why it may not work or hasn't been working.

1. The reasons why someone has difficulty cultivating their
telekinetic skills is usually one of several things. Some human
emotions like stress can impede the process, though, once in awhile
a stressful situation can actually increase someone's ability to
achieve what appears as superhuman traits. I'm sure you've heard of
the situations where all of a sudden something happens and someone
can lift a ton of off someone. Yes, that has to do with adrenaline
but there is also a dynamics of "quanta" going on there. In the
moment of "have to" they released their natural ability to,
seemingly, defy science. They didn't think about it, they just did
it. No thinking, no preconceived judgments. Don't think about it so
much---just practice without preconceiving.

2. Usually, though, if there isn't any real danger or need, the
human emotions inhibit the path that the brain requires to create
the neural network it needs to create this atmosphere. The more
negative emotions, like guilt, fear, non trusting, judgmental
attitudes and suspicion are enough to inhibit that natural flow that
is required. One must believe it is possible. How else can we expect
to manifest anything if we can't believe it's possible? You can't.

3. Don't obsess on it---relax!! Enjoy, cultivating another skill.
It's not race, or a test. It's not about worth or worthy. So many
spiritually based philosophies are based on reward. Spiritual
awareness and evolution are not "prizes" you win. Opening up to
higher levels of spiritual awareness is a growth process of evolving
one1s consciousness. Telekinetics is just one more skill with the
ability of possible manifestation.

4. Don't carry preconceived ideas as to the outcome. Experience it,
naturally. Don't script it. Don't tell yourself how it should go or
that you have to be at a certain point at a certain time---all that
impedes the energy. When you do that you are so busy thinking that
the correct atmosphere or pathway can not be presented. Will and
Reason are not juxtaposed to telekinetic ability.

5. Don't get frustrated and angry at yourself. Again, relax, Have
fun with it.

6. Don't be self-conscious. Yes, many times people feel foolish or
self conscious. Don't. If you can't do it right away it says nothing
about who you are. It simply just says the spoon or fork isn't
bending, yet---that's all.

What Can You Do
1. What we do is have an accepting attitude. Believe it can happen.
Everyone I ever taught this technique to and who was successful in
bending a fork or spoon, had a POSITIVE attitude about it. They may
not have believed they could do it but they did believe it was
possible. That's a start for the proper frame of mind. Next, believe
YOU can!!

2. Focus your attention. So many people say they are concentrating
but in fact their minds are scattered and they aren't really into it
at all. Be there. Learn to do only one thing at a time. This is
difficult in the contexts of our society's established standards.
There seems to be a badge of honor attached to being able to do 50
things at once. We somehow seem to derive worth from this. Well,
it's unhealthy. It's what contributes to stress, anxiety, elevated
blood pressure and even depression and a host of other "dis-eases".
Don't get caught up in all that. It's not about how much you can do
but how well you do. It's about quality not quantity. It's a fact
that the brain can really only think of one think at a time. Work
with the natural process of your brain. There is an inner dialogue
going on that can be distracting and scattering the energy. There
are many techniques that will teach you the discipline that is
required for stilling the Mind and to help you learn what true
concentration really is. I recommend meditation, or Qigong, Yoga,
Tai Chi or any one of the contemplative arts as a viable form to
enhance self discipline and awareness.

3. The Art of Stillness. Practice being still. Yes, actually, being
still without thinking anything. Try it. All the masters have
acquired this skill. They can actually, sit still and think of no-
thing. This is why they are able to do the "mystical" manifestations
that we see. Opening a lock with the wave of a hand, or seemingly
walk about without being noticed. They know how not to cause ripples
in the Universal Energy. They have mastered the Self. They truly can
focus on one thing and only one thing at a time. The longer you can
sit still and still your mind, the more available energy you have.
It is in that discipline that teaches, patience, acceptance and
unconditional being. This is a skill that will enhance every aspect
of your life. It's a great way to enhance one's healing techniques
as well.

4. Learn to "Let Go". As soon as something, whether it's an old
bias, an old emotion, blouse, anything---let go of it. Resolve
things in your life as quickly as possible. It will unclutter your
mind and your emotions will flow more evenly and smoothly. By
learning to, "let go", we also learn to let go of preconceived out
come, that is how we "think" it will turn out. If you can't let go
then you are still trying to control it. If you are still trying to
control things then you close off many pathways of personal and
spiritual growth. Let things happen when appropriate to do so.

5. Remember the 'Law of Coalesce'? When you think on something it
will attract like thoughts. 20 seconds of one pure thought attracts
an equal amount of pure energy of the same resonance and quality.
Each 20 mark increases a multiplies the energy. Can you imagine what
you could manifest just by 2 minutes of pure unadulterated
thought!!? This equation works equally for both types of thoughts---
be the positive or negative in origin. Be mindful of what you think
on or about. Every action you take was proceeded by a thought. What
was the quality of yours?

Those were some of the techniques that will help you open up to all
your abilities. They are healthy guide lines for life whether you
are bending spoons or not.

Bending Forks

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPOON - FORK or KEY BENDING
1. Find utensil of choice.
2. Hold utensil in your hand / hands--however you are comfortable.
3. Sit quietly--breathe comfortably--relax. 4. Empty mind of all
extra chattering and thoughts. Remember stay focused.
5. With eyes closed--slowly rub your fingers tips over the surface
of the object.
6. Feel--don't think about it--feel what the surface feels like. Get
into the flow of molecules, atoms, energy.
7. This may take a few attempts. You will begin to actual "feel" the
energy.
8. At that very moment when you feel it--you and the object as a
blend of energy--just bend it! If you've done it correctly--it will
bend!!!
9. Remember NEVER apply force! You aren't there to physically force
it to bend. That's not point of the exercise.

Exercises to Help You Develop Your Abilities

The Compass Exercise
The compass exercise is something I still play around with every now
and again. It is one of the easiest "tools" I know of that is
accessible to just about anyone, and the are relatively inexpensive.
Why a compass? Because the needle of the compass kind of floats and
offers the least amount of surface friction and resistance.

1. Place the compass flatly on a stable surface. It doesn't matter
what direction the needle is pointing in---I had someone ask me that
once. This is an exercise about clockwise, hopefully. Though, there
were those times I do get it moving counter clock wise. I'm not sure
why that is really. It happened in the lab when I was involved in
erasing static or "white" noise off of cassette tapes. That was part
of an experiment--we had to extend the tones or beats on a tape.
Lets say in a normal range there may be 10 signals in a 10 second
span, my job, as well as the others who were participating, was to
extend the signals so that there were more in that same span. It
worked---but every once in awhile I seemed to shorten them instead---
but that's a whole other story. Just remember to try for clockwise
direction of the needle.

2. This method is the HAND method. Place one or both hands about 1
inch or 2 inches above the compass. Close your eyes, but if you
close your eyes you'll need a spotter to watch the needle for you.

I suppose you could video yourself and check the tape later.
Electronic gadgets! I love'em! Next, DON"T THINK anything! Just
relax holding your hand above the compass an have a knowing resolve
of what you are there to do--- then just allow the neural network in
your brain to do what it knows how to do. Be mindful, however, of
why you are there doing what you are doing---just don't think about
it, that's all. You are not suppose to be engaging the cognitive
part of your brain. You may or may not feel the energy surge through
your arms and fingers. I usually do. Sometimes, my hair static¹s out
and I look like I've been frightened or about to be hit by
lightning. If that isn't a sight!! That's all there is to this
exercise. Simple, easy and to the point. Your goal and only goal at
this juncture is to get the needle to move.

A word of CAUTION. Don't use an expensive compass, as usually this
exercise winds up ruining it to work as an actual compass again.
This energy will alter certain structures.

Cork and Water Exercise
1. Here is another easy exercise for honing your psychokinetic
skills. This method is very simple to put together. Water? Yes,
remember? Less surface friction and offers less resistance. If you
are going to be able to utilize telekinetic energy, at all, then
this is the probably one of the most easy. Basically, all you need
is a bowl of water, a cork, and a small paper clip. You can either
glue the paper clip to the top of the cork, if you like, as all you
are trying to do is add a little weight to cork so the cork doesn't
float around on its own by room current or room air flow. The other
method is to make a groove in the top of the cork. Uncoil the paper
clip and let it rest in the groove. Either way, both work just fine.

2. Again, as in the compass method, place your hands about 1 or 2
inches above the cork. Release all preconceived ideas as to what
should be happening next. Just let the energy flow. Feel it move
through your arms and out through your finger tips. In a really good
session you can have that cork sailing all over the bowl.

3. Try to remember that this "happening" happens in between the
off/on phases of consciousness. I don't mean unconsciousness like
passed out or fainting---that's something else. I mean here aware
and not aware phases of reality consciousness. I remember when I
first was trying this technique when I started out years ago. I
tried, and tried (I was still Willing and Thinking reality in those
days) but that cork didn't budge. When all of a sudden the phone
rang in that split second of me NOT THINKING the cork flew over to the side of the blow!

Why Can't I get Things To Slide or Lift?
Remember, there are laws governing these principles. We may not
understand or even be cognizant of them, but they are there and they
do work!!

One of the reasons it is so difficult to get things to lift or slide
has to do with friction, resistance, etc. Okay, consider this. You
are trying to get a bowl to slide across the counter.. Ask yourself
about the dynamics involved here. Do you realize just how much
energy it takes to perform that event?

A lot!! It's harder than bending a spoon or fork! Why? Because you
are deal with things like horizontal distances between the objects
center of mass, the point of contact to the surfaces. Friction,
remember? It's actually, easier to levitate (lift it) it that drag
it. Remember, that you want to start with easier things first, then
if you find you have an ability - graduate to other things. I'd love
to be able to do what Matilda could do Anyone, see that movie? She
had everything dancing about in the room!

Here are brief outlines of some people who have demonstrated remarkable PK abilities:

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" who could levitate small objects when Tomczyk placed her hands on either side of them. In the early 1900s, one investigator, Julien Ochorowicz, watched these levitations at very close range and observed something like fine threads emanating from her palms and fingers, although they were examined carefully before the experiment. And 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 test conditions.

Nina Kulagina. One of the most celebrated and scrutinized psychics to claim psychokinetic powers was Nina Kulagina, a Russian woman who discovered her abilities while attempting to develop other psychic powers. Reportedly, she has 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. The skeptics contend, of course, that her abilities would not stand up to scientific testing, and that she may be nothing more that a clever magician.

Uri Geller. Geller http://cf.f410.mail.yahoo.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.uri%2Dgeller.com/ 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 UK 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 may be able to duplicate some of these effects, but there may be legitimacy to this telekinetic phenomenon. In April, 2001, University of Arizona psychology professor Gary Schwartz conducted a "spoon-bending party http://cf.f410.mail.yahoo.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://wildcat.arizona.edu/papers/94/127/01%5F3%5Fm.html at which about 60 students were able to bend spoons and forks, with varying degrees of success, seemingly with the power of their minds. (Do you want to try it yourself? Here's How to Host a Spoon-Bending Party http://cf.f410.mail.yahoo.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://realityshifters.com/pages/articles/spoonbendingparty.html.)

Poltergeist Activity
Some researchers contend that the most common form of psychokinesis is one that is not consciously intended. Poltergeist activity http://cf.f410.mail.yahoo.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.alliancelink.com/users/avalon/corelle.htm, they suggest, might be caused by the subconscious of people under stress, emotional turmoil or even hormonal peaks. Without conscious effort, these people cause china to fly off shelves, objects to break or loud rappings 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, many séances have been hoaxed over the years, but if you think the paranormal phenomena documented at some séances is not real, read the article How To Create a Ghost http://paranormal.about.com/library/weekly/aa102201a.htm.

How Does It Work?

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

Robert L. Shacklett at Speculations about PK http://cf.f410.mail.yahoo.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.epcomm.com/fmbr/editoral/specpk.htm says 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 says. "The physical level operates in accordance with natural law except at the times when thought interacts with it."

"Everyone has the potential to be able to be telekinetic. Telekinesis is created by higher levels of consciousness. The energy to move or bend an object is created by a person's thoughts created by their subconscious mind."

How remains the puzzle. But there are theories:
Some researchers suspect there might be a quantum connection http://cf.f410.mail.yahoo.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.fourmilab.ch/rpkp/strange.html.

Unpredictable, often bizarre effects have been documented in the world of subatomic particles, 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?

One 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, they say, you must be able to relax completely and focus your attention without distraction.
Another speculation is that mediums or participants in a séance 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 research labs around the world.

Developing and Testing Your Psychokinetic Powers

Can anyone have powers of telekinesis?

"Everyone has the potential to be able to be telekinetic," says Deja Allison at Telekinesis http://cf.f410.mail.yahoo.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.crystalinks.com/telekinesis.html 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."

Several websites suggest ways that you might be able to develop or strengthen powers of psychokinesis. Using Psychological Telekinesis http://cf.f410.mail.yahoo.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.viking%2Dz.org/zen/v27.htm says meditation and a kind of chanting, which they provide, can help train your mind for the task, even though they offer no proof of any kind that it really works.

Mario Varvoglis, Ph.D., author of PSI Explorer http://cf.f410.mail.yahoo.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.psiexplorer.com/pk1.htm, 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 http://cf.f410.mail.yahoo.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.alternativescience.com/psychokinesis.htm of this kind are being conducted at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Laboratory (PEAR) laboratory at Princeton University - and their results show that some people really can influence the computerized random number generators with the power of their minds. Varvoglis provides a similar test on his PSI Explorer CD-ROM http://cf.f410.mail.yahoo.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.psiexplorer.com/cdrom.htm.

Spirit Online http://cf.f410.mail.yahoo.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.spiritonline.com/files/messages/17/405.html%3F965436025 offers this seven-step method of improving your PK:

Meditate daily for half an hour, 15 minutes if your schedule is too busy.
Attempt PK at least once a day, twice if possible. Give yourself a good 30-60 minutes to try it.
Focus on one method for at least a week; if it shows no results, switch methods.
Be at ease; instead of taking it too seriously, think of it as an experiment, a game. If you try too hard you'll just end up frustrating yourself and you'll get nowhere.
Don't give up.
Don't tell yourself you can't do it, because you can.
