      Sorry if I wasn't clear. My method? Meditation and energy work. There are many flavors to choose from. You want, specifics? "Just do it" is the best I can do. I could give links and you could read about it all day, but it's not really about knowing anything in particular, it's about how that knowledge can change you.

      You seem to be looking for an easy recipie, but unfortunately it's a life long pursuit. Millions of people dedicate their live to this stuff, they can't all be crazy.

      Sadly, they can.

      What sort of meditation? There are different methods. Which do you use? How long do you recommend? What 'energy works' do you use?

      Most of the time I don't meditate. I forget, or just don't feel like it.

      I do make a conscious effort to try to shut my internal dialogue, to stop the random ramblings and fantasies that fill my head during the day. It's impossibly hard at first, but it can be done.

      As for when I do meditate, i focus on my base chakra for awhile, then work my way up. Didn't really learn it anywhere, just decided that's what I was going to do.

      Right now, I'm trying to sense the supposed chi energy flow. There are charts that display how it's supposed to move through the body, so I should have something to base it on. (radio active particles injected into the blood follow these chi flows rather than the blood stream, it's a fact)

      Unfortunately drinking doesn't mix well with meditation, so I put it off yet again.

      That's interesting, do you have a link? I don't doubt you, I just have a feeling that that would be hard to google for.

      Also, do you have any idea why 'silencing your mind' would help with this stuff? I constantly have a dialogue going in my head which I use to analyze situations and philosophize - why would shutting this off be helpful?

      Don't have a link to that, and I'm ready for bed, and too tired to look right now. Just something I read years ago.

      Why inner silence? Could be just a technique to focus the mind. It's certainly difficult enough to accomplish, and I'm by no means a pro at it. I like to look at it as a computer RAM analogy. The more programs you have running, the more sluggishly they run. By eliminating unneeded processes, it frees up more computing power for the tasks you want to accomplish. Also, it just allows you to become more aware. You can make judgements and reasons after. You shouldn't let anything taint the experience.

      YOu have to be able to focus single mindedly on what you want to manifest without any distractions. Meditation and inner silence are just tools to teach you these skills.

      Getting good at lucid dreaming is another method that would undoubtedly help. Seems to me to be a manifestation of will. And getting lucid these days (for me) seems about as hard as trying to reproduce some psi ability. Just because I can't get lucid every night on command doesn't mean it's not real, it just means I'm a lazy bastard.

      Well, after some quick googling, I've discovered something called a Ventilation-Perfusion Scan, which is used to estimate the likelihood of a patient having pulmonary embolism. From what I understand, the patient inhales a radioactive marker substance while simultaneously having a radioactive substance injected into their blood stream, and scans are made to compare the levels of blood flow versus ventilation at different parts of the lung. If there is a point with low blood flow but normal ventilation, there is a considerable chance that the patient suffers from pulmonary embolism.

      This would suggest that radioactive markers injected into the blood stream do in fact follow the blood stream itself, otherwise such scans would be quite useless. biologically speaking, it also just makes sense - why should a radioactive marker move in a different direction than our blood cells, plasma, or platelets? I see no reason for chi to affect radioactive materials especially.

      I suspect you ran across a bit of misinformation.

      Yeah right it was air currents now again, NOT! Then how come I held my hands like that for 5 minutes before filming without it moving at all?

      What do I have to move to prove Telekinesis for you?

      I can only move straws and psi-wheels so far, but I haven't been practicing very long.
      Currently practicing WILD. I quote Kaniaz who said it best: "The point of WILD is to piss me off". Though, I have not given up, far from it.

      I actually read that in my local newspaper. The closest thing I could find online (without too much effort) was this.

      "According to the Chinese model of medicine, the meridians along which Chi or life-energy flows, terminate in the feet. Experiments which use radioactive markers have shown that toxins follow these meridian pathways (routes that don’t follow anatomical structures such as nerves or blood vessels) and exit at these points in the feet. Laboratory tests prove that toxins such as heavy metals are pulled out of the body because they are present in the water after an Ionic Foot Bath treatment."
      http://www.supportourreturningtroops..._Foot_Bath.htm


      Not the best source of information, I'll admit. (Ionic foot bath?) But those laboratory tests they are talking about are valid and were performed by reputable researchers, and demonstrated repeatedly.

      I could likely find a better link for you, but I've wasted enough time on you people. I feel like I'm trying to dig a hole in ocean with a shovel.

      Put a glass bowl/tupperware over your psi wheel or straw, and then move it. That will prove something to me.

      I came to the same conclusion as you. The best way of demonstrating this phenomenon to someone is to make the person experience it first hand. I looked at some of the links provided by the poster above, but most of them have practice plans for months which involve several weeks of 'astral projection', 'clairvoyance', and 'random number influencing', which, though technically fine, are really very inconclusive methods. You could dream you're somewhere you're not, you could have a thought about the future which becomes somewhat true, and the random numbers could happen to go the way you want them to. A brick, however, will never lift off the ground without something special going on.

      On that note, can any of you who are able to produce CONCRETE results consistently let us know about your methods? I mean theoretically, if this is real, I should be able to do it myself. I would love to, of course, so doubt shouldn't be an issue for me if confidence comes into play. Any takers?
      I saw your video and emediatly became suspicious... the only reason I considered it could be real was because I know these things exist. You didn't make any points I didn't already know. VIDEOS ARE NOT PROOF (jeeze, everyone knows that).

      "He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilisation should be done away with at once.

It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."

      Maybe you personally, but there was quite a bit of talk about 'it's not about proof, it's about what proof you will accept' and things like that.

      Now, for shit's sake will anyone else offer me their methods? That guy who posted both videos of him moving the straw, maybe? If it's an inadvertent trick of wind, I should be able to replicate it, and if it's really a psi ability, I should still be able to replicate it. Why is no one other than the cusp offering me their techniques?

      The straw thing is bogus. James Randi confronted James Hydrick on live televison, and even did the straw trick himself. Take a look:

      http://youtube.com/watch?v=QlfMsZwr8...elated&search=

      [edit]

      as a side note, I believe Hyndrick used a "bladder" or pouch strapped to the back of his thigh (right thigh, most likely) to produce the currents of air. Everytime he move something "with his mind", he crouches down (applying pressure on the bladder) creating a current that could flow through a tube and right out of his sleeve (the right sleeve specifically). When he stands up, the pressure on the bladder is relieved, allowing it to refill with air. That's my theory

      i havnt posted in this thread in a little while because after i saw thegnome's video i knew what point he was trying to prove, and i went to make a video myself to show how easily it could be faked. I was originally going to demonstrate electrokinesis by making a flourescant lightbulb light up by hiding my tesla coil in a nearby wooden cabinet and turning the sound off in the video, however my tesla coil's transformer blew out so i abandoned the project T_T.

      As for the statement about radioactive particles following "chi medians" I don't know what radioactive particles they're using, but standard radioactive tracers (such as technetium 99) used for finding cancer cells do follow the bloodstream. There are no solid radioactive materials which, when injected, do not follow the bloodsteam. The only way your statement could be true is if you are refering to gamma rays or beta particles which generally penetrate solid objects.

      Anyway, one last question, the cusp: your two quotes conflict:
      Most of the time I don't meditate. I forget, or just don't feel like it.
      and
      My method? Meditation and energy work... You want, specifics? "Just do it" is the best I can do. I could give links and you could read about it all day, but it's not really about knowing anything in particular, it's about how that knowledge can change you... You seem to be looking for an easy recipie, but unfortunately it's a life long pursuit.
      So is it easy or is it hard? Or are you just so good at it now that you don't need to meditate, you have transgressed beyond the need for meditation? Or are some people just naturals at it and some people need to work much harder?
      Oh... don't worry about that... that's supposed to happen

      Of course the straw can be done with magic tricks since it is so light. But that's not the case with me.

      Put a glass bowl/tupperware over your psi wheel or straw, and then move it. That will prove something to me.
      Ok
      Currently practicing WILD. I quote Kaniaz who said it best: "The point of WILD is to piss me off". Though, I have not given up, far from it.

      Ok, I may have been off with the marker being directed directly into the blood stream. Obviously the blood is going to carry them along.
      It's something i read in a newspaper years ago, and I have a pothead's memory. But these chi paths can be traced with radioactive markers.

      ANd yes, meditation is very difficult, especially for me. I'm no pro, I'm lazy. I have this overwhelming urge to smash things which doesn't help, especially after partaking in this topic.

      Take a look at psipog's articles. Also, take a look at their Links section. Do your own research. Try it out.

      I am asking for the methods of the people IN THIS FORUM, damnit. I don't want any links to other places, just tell me how YOU do it. I've said this enough, if you claim to have results then all I need is YOUR methods.

      What make you think anyone has methods in the first place? And why should they share them with you? You're just going to crap all over anything they do give you.

      There just aren't that many people on here claiming they can do anything, so who the hell are you pestering? Seismosaur already posted a guide.

      If you're too lazy to research this yourself, don't bother. There is no trick that is going to help you that hasn't already been given. It's not about knowing, it's about becoming.

      Well, its hard to explain, and I've tried explaining it many, many times and you won't hear anything from me that is not already said on psipog, smart one. There are hundreds of different methods and they all involve different visualizations, tatical imaging techniques, trance meditations and will power. LOOK AT AND READ THE GODDAMN ARTICLES ON PSIPOG, BECAUSE THATS WHERE I LEARNT HOW TO DO IT. When it comes down to the basics, everyone is doing the same thing, just using different ways to manipulate their energy. Me, nor anyone else on this forum, has some unique method that works better then any other methods for all different types of people. It depends all on your personal ability. So look at the website, actually READ the articles, and practice them yourself. I'm sure the people on Psipog can describe the different methods much better then I can, so why the hell should I waste my time telling you how to do something thats already been written in much better detail?

      "We're so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about."
      -Joseph Campbell
      "He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilisation should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."

      Because you claim to have results, damnit.

      I'm not going to go through an eight-week astral projection program if I don't believe in astral projection. You people claim to be able to move things, so teach me how you do that. Is that so much to ask?!

      Alright, first off I'm not asking you to dedicate yourself in that way. You can gain results in as little as a day with psychokinesis. Because your to lazy to read actually read the articles on psipog yourself, I'll post them for you.

      Introduction

      By now you probably know what telekinesis (TK) is. It's the ability to move something without actually touching it. Some people like "psychokinesis" better, I don't . Right off the bat, I can hear you say: "Telekinesis real? HAH! You're nuts!" Maybe you're right. Maybe TK is fake... maybe what happens is a gust of wind, or maybe a vibration in the table, or maybe... All I have to say to that is BLAH BLAH BLAH . You don't have to believe, no one is forcing you - but I recommend reading on anyways. You don't have to try the exercises, but just getting you to think "Hmmmm, maybe it is real?..." will be a good first step.


      The First Step

      Getting your conscious mind to believe TK is real is the first step. Once you can say, "Yeah, people can move things with their mind" - you'll be part of the way there. The funny thing about telekinesis is that when you believe it will work, it will. When you don't, it won't. Since it works like this, people who can do TK believe in TK and the positive belief becomes stronger. When a person who doesn't believe in it tries, they fail because of the belief and the negative belief is reinforced. Success means more success and failure means more failure. This is why most people can't do it. So, back to the first step - get it in your head that TK is real. Once you consciously believe in it, the beliefs will seep into your subconscious and you will totally believe it - inside and out, through and through. This is when you will start seeing consistent results.

      Before we get into how to consciously believe in it, lets go over how we should handle random thoughts and feelings. The thing I fear is that you will think "This is crazy" and you will suppress this thought and force yourself to think "TK is real." This isn't good. You have to pick through each thought and pull it apart. You have to listen to what you hear. If you hear yourself thinking "This will never work" - ask yourself why? As the reasons pop up, you have to challenge each one and nullify it. Please, do not shove the thoughts deep inside of you; spontaneous thoughts come from your subconscious. If you think something - explore it, don't hide from it. I love getting in arguments with myself - it lets me see the true me.

      Now you're saying "Heh, my thoughts can't be challenged! I can argue to anyone that TK is fake." Fine. Just keep an open mind... I'll go over some of the reasons why I started to believe in TK. This way, you can see why I started and look at my reasoning:

      1. You say: No one can move things with their mind and modern science agrees.
      This is a pretty broad one. The thing that made me think twice about it was the experiences of others. Just me here, telling you that I have personally seen it in action, should spark a little something. If you do a search on the Internet, there are a lot of message boards and sites dedicated to "psychic" stuff. Why would there be such a huge thing about it if it was all fake? Can people be really that dumb (heh, don't answer that )? Seriously, you're trying to say that there is a scientific explanation for everything out there? No way... There is a lot that science can't explain. Also, are you saying that every person who has had a TK experience is crazy or it was some weird coincidence? I don't think so. Sure, you got your crazies out there who don't know what, and I'm positive there's a couple fictional stories out there, but every one? Eh, chances are slim. There is something going on we can't explain it. You have to admit that.

      2. You say: Physics says it's impossible.
      Physics. Hmmmm. Ever hear of Quantum Physics? It's the study of energy and how it gets around. Pretty interesting stuff... but not explored fully yet. Plus there's the magnetism theory for TK. Basically, electric magnets are stronger than normal magnets. Guess what our brain is? Yep, electrical impulses. Can you see the connection? Plus there have been studies (just do a search, you'll find them) - baby chicks have used micro-TK to affect the outcome of a RNG (random number generator) so the light (guided by the RNG) would be close to them, keeping them warm. Maybe common sense at first says it's impossible, but if you look close - it's not really that far fetched.

      3. You say: Maybe it is possible, but then it's a freak of nature and only happens with gifted people.
      Heh. Yeah, maybe. All I can say is that I have taught people who have asked me and I taught myself. If it is only possible through "mutants" then I guess I'm a mutant along with anyone else who was taught by me. Hmmm, if we're so rare, that's an amazing coincidence .

      As you can see, there are a lot of angles to take. Be logical - and have an open mind. Read about experiences of others online and go into chats and ask around. Try Yahoo chat - under the Religion category there is a "Paganism" room - check it out. Sometimes we have meetings in #psipog for all you IRC users (any austnet server).


      I Do Believe

      Oh do you? Heh. I don't mean to knock over everything you've built up, but you probably don't truly believe unless you have seen it with your own eyes. You still might not believe after that. I remember the first time it happened to me. I was doing an exercise I invented (the key one for those of you that have read on ) and the key (the object I was trying to move) spun around really fast then stopped suddenly. I was shocked. I 'knew' TK was real, but I really didn't know. It blew my insides apart... on the outside I thought "Sure, TK is real, I just need more practice" while on the inside I thought "Ehhh, this stuff can't be real." After the experience, I truly knew TK was real. How can you get your subconscious to believe it's real? It's not easy. The way I did it was to just bombard it with thoughts that "TK is real" and challenged any thought that said otherwise with logic and reason. I also did another thing which is the key to TK. Do you want to know what it is? It's the same with anything else you want to be really good at.... PRACTICE. Yeah, it sucks, there is no switch or trigger, just plain practice is the best way to get good at it. What do you do when you practice? In my next section I'll show you the way I practice and some other exercises I've read about.


      Micro-TK Practice

      A real quick intro on micro-TK. Micro-TK is easier than it's counter-part, macro-TK. The micro basically means that you're dealing on a sub-atomic level - dealing with chance/statistics. In these exercises, you will effect the outcome of something using TK. You'll get the hang of it after reading some.
      • Dice Exercise
      The basic idea behind this is to roll dice and force a number. Be careful inventing your own exercises. If you have a target number and you try to force it, your practicing TK. If you try to predict what the number will be (changing your target number between each roll) your actually developing a different psychic skill - precognition (predicting the future).

      All you need is a die, some paper, and a pencil. Roll the dice 50-100 times to make sure it's not weighted anyway and is fair. If you roll it 100 times, each number should come up 16-17 times (number of trials divided by number of possible outcomes or 100 / 6). In the example, it seems that 5 might have a slight advantage and 6 doesn't look so well. Here, I would pick either 2 or 3 as a target number because you can be sure that the results won't be affected by the imperfections in the die.

      After you get the feel for the dice, you want to try and force your target number. Don't get upset if your number doesn't seem to be coming up that often, there could be a lot of reasons for this. You could not be concentrating enough, you could not have enough practice, you could not be "warmed up," or you could just be having a bad day. You want to try to keep relaxed and free. Open your mind to the dice, stay focused but passive. "Know" that the dice will land on your target number, trust your instincts, be playful and have fun. If you find yourself getting mad, take a break for a while and come back to it. I know I'm saying to try to force your target number, but I don't want you to take it the wrong way. It shouldn't be a "force," it should be very calm and relaxing. Let it flow, lay back and let the numbers do what they're going to do.

      Take a look at the results to the right. Although the person was trying to force 3, he did the total opposite. This might happen to you. You say "I want 3" and your subconscious thinks "Well, since this isn't going to work, there won't be a lot of 3's." Your negative subconscious thoughts are reflected onto the results. This is a GOOD sign . If you get something similar to this you should be able to convince your sub-conscious that TK does exist. How else can you explain the drastic change? Sure, the numbers will fluctuate a little, but that much? Eh, not likely.

      Personally, I don't like this exercise that much. It's pretty tedious and repetitive. It isn't very positive in my opinion either. You can try other things instead of a dice (a coin for example) - the basic idea is still there. I prefer (when practicing micro-TK) to do the next two exercises.
      • Card Exercise 1
      I made this exercise one late night in bed. Everyone seems to like it, including myself . It's fun, easy, and exciting! All that you need is a deck of cards - a pretty common thing. One reason why I like this exercise is because you can do it with people watching and they can't catch on to what you're doing. You don't have to write down anything or make any tables, it's just you and 52 cards.

      First start off by choosing a target card. Try to pick a card that isn't bent and will fit in pretty good. Now you shuffle and shuffle. The goal is to remove all cards EXCEPT your target card. On average, I remove around 6 cards each time. Let's run through an example so you get the idea.

      Lets say I choose the Ace of Spades as my target card. I shuffle the deck a couple times to mix it up good. I have an urge to take some cards out so I pull out the first 6 cards and look through them to make sure the Ace isn't in it. I throw those cards in another pile. Then I shuffle some more. I get a feeling to stop and remove some cards, so I take the top 7 and look through them to make sure the Ace isn't in there. It's not, so I keep going. I keep shuffling and removing cards until I do come across the Ace.

      This exercise works good because you can convince your mind that your card won't be in the group you grab to check. Think about it, will your target card be in a group of 40+ or in a group of 6? Your subconscious says "Yeah, you're right, there's no way the Ace of Spades is in here..." If you keep doing it, you will start to see results and be able to narrow it down to 10, 5, and eventually 1 card. The most important part is to do what you feel like doing. Don't analyze (until you're done) and don't think. Just flow... go with it.
      • Card Exercise 2
      This exercise is for those who have mastered the first card exercise. It's pretty straight-forward and simple. Actually, I made this one before I made Card Exercise 1.

      First, get a target card. Make sure it's not bent and has no weird marks (so it doesn't stick out). You basically shuffle the deck and keep shuffling until you feel your target card is on top. Believe it or not, the third try after I started doing this I got my card on top. I was just shuffling and shuffling, then I thought "There it is" and I threw it on my bed. When I saw I was actually right, I just stared at it in shock.

      The key to this exercise is to identify your goal and just do it. Don't let anything run through your head other than "..." No thoughts. Don't think "This won't work", don't think "The odds are way against me" - just think "..."


      Macro-TK Practice

      Macro-Telekinesis is what were all here for. Moving big things with our mind. None of this "chance" crap, this stuff is hard-core, obvious, undisputable proof. The only thing that sucks about it is that it SEEMS to be harder to do. Why do I say seem? Personally, I believe it is no harder than micro-TK (my subconscious disagrees ) it's just SEEMS harder because we believe it would be harder. Everything, even the things outside of TK, is tied to perception and belief. Just stating "I am telekinetic!" to your subconscious will help. Have confidence! It does work and it will work!

      Enough of that, here are some exercises:
      • Key Exercise
      I'm not sure where this exercise came from. I think I read something to trigger me into thinking of it. It's pretty basic. You hang a string from the ceiling and tie a key to it (or any weight for that matter). Then you try to move it. Heh, that's it (see picture if you're confused).

      The key (pun intended) to this exercise is to unlock (heh, I'm loving this ) your power. You can try a bunch of things to see what works for you. I like my eyes open. I try to keep a clear mind with only the thought of success in my head. Some people like to think of a magnet, some like to think of energy, it's all a matter of finding what's right for you.
      • String Exercise
      I get a lot of e-mails about people wanting to learn TK, one of the first people I taught used the key exercise. Unfortunately, he could not get the key to move, no matter what he tried. Then, after a couple weeks, he tried to move the little string that was left over when he tied the string to the key. He was VERY successful (and let me know ). That's where this exercise came from. It's the exact same as the key exercise but without the key. Just try moving the string. Be careful, it is very sensitive to wind, so breathe low, or cover your face, and don't make gusts of wind with your hands or when you move your body. Don't write off good results as "gusts" of wind. I made the string move while half-way across the room but I thought it could have been some wind I generated. So I went through the same steps to see if the key moved again (only this time without the actual mental effort). It didn't move. I tried making gusts of wind and I couldn't make one strong enough to effect the string from that distance. So, know your strings limits. See what movement will make it move and what won't. If you're really paranoid about wind, you can make a miniature version of the string exercise but in a glass. See the picture to the right. The container makes sure no wind will get in or out... and since magnets go through stuff like that, it doesn't interfere with your effort.
      • Paper on Pin Exercise
      This is a newer exercise to me. I read it off a web-site but I forgot where exactly it was (doh). I'll give you step by step instructions on how to make the thing you need:




      That's the paper part, for the stand, all you do is stick a needle in cork or something and balance the paper tool on top. Personally, I just use a thumb-tack. It's real easy. See the picture to the right see how it should look when you're done. It's a low angle looking up into the middle of the paper thing.

      You can probably already guess what your mission is. Make the paper thing spin on the needle. Be really careful with this thing, it's extremely sensitive to wind and air currents. A whisper from 5 feet away can make it move. Just relax and let it flow like all the other exercises. I wish I could remember the web page I went to so I could give proper credit, but I have no idea. Oh well.
      • Candle Exercise
      I've only tried this exercise a couple times. It just doesn't work very well for me (probably due to early failure and stupid beliefs). I'm including it because it really sounds cool and you might find it very useful.

      The setup is easy, just get a candle, light it, and try to make the flame move. Try shrinking it or lengthening it. I read that you can actually distinguish the flame totally if you keep shrinking it to a point where it can't exist. Pretty cool. Nostradamus supposedly invented this. He didn't use it to practice TK but it sounds like it should work. Give it a try, heck, I'm gonna go try right now... maybe it will work...


      Conclusion

      Well, you've reached the end of the file. I hope you got something from it. If this is like your fifth time reading it and your saying "It doesn't work!" - don't give up. It will work, just keep practicing. First do the micro-TK stuff to get your confidence high, then move on to the macro stuff. Keep pounding your mind with TK - day dream about TK, when you want to grab something, try to "pull" it to you, when someone is talking to you, think "telekinesis... telekinesis... telekinesis..." - well, maybe not that far . Just don't give up! It will work! And you will be amazed! OR . . . you could give up... sissy (j/k ).

      I'm always happy to hear from my readers. Any constructive suggestions, opinions and questions are welcome ([email protected])

      Introduction

      Once again I speak to you guys about Telekinesis / Psychokinesis. In this manual I'll try to be more specific and explain my method to do TK, as easily understandable as possible.

      Some of you might know that I have a TK club in my school and I am proud to say that many of my students progressed a lot since we started to have the meetings. So basically you have very good chances, too. TK can be taught and it can be learned. The only serious difficulty I think is that you mostly don't know anyone who could show you how TK is done. I personally know a girl who could do TK almost instantly after having seen it in action in one of our meetings. Later she had problems like everyone else, too, but that's not the point. The point is that sometimes people can repeat it instantly if they see it. Don't ask me why. I don't know.

      As I said, you have very good chances... Ahemm, let me put it this way: You can do it. And you will do it. The effort is the key. The result is proportional to the effort you invest. But before I start to explain my method to "perform" TK, I'd like to express some theories that in one way or another might explain how TK itself works. I might be wrong and you are welcome to prove such.

      I personally have never seen any 100% evidence that confirms that there is an invisible substance created by the nerves called "psi". And I doubt that this substance is responsible for telekinesis as well as for telepathy & co. And since we are the people who do the research, I don't think it's good to rely on the legends, or facts, that "The Russians" or "The CIA" might have done some kind of experiments that prove the whole "psi" thing.

      But anyway, the "how" or "why" telekinesis works does not affect your practice in any way. I just think that it might help you to understand my method and therefore get a good basis to start with.

      Theories & Thoughts

      Let's start with the most simple. I don't think it's a big secret and probably every physics teacher will confirm that we all are made of the same stuff: atoms. And all atoms are made of energy. They only differ from each other in size. So basically everything around us and we ourselves are pure energy. You can imagine the whole universe as a lake of energy and yourself as a drop of water in it. But how can you distinguish where that drop starts and where it ends? You are right. You can't. Separation is just an illusion. The computer in front of you is a part of your own energy field as well as you are a part of its energy field. You don't end at your skin. And this leads us to the conclusion that you are one with all the things around you (Screams of horror ).

      Separation is a useful illusion. Mankind would never progress if we thought that one being is a part of another being and we all are one. That would be a paradox for the competition between the human beings and therefore a break for the whole evolution.

      In many cases it's very useful to think about objects as separate things. In other cases, like in telekinesis, it's necessary to keep in mind that the psiwheel in front of you lies in your own energy field and therefore it can be affected by your energy. You don't believe it? Now touch that psiwheel with your finger. Did it move? Of course it did, because you used your energy in form of atoms of your finger to accelerate the molecules of the paper. Clever, huh?

      But even if you don't use your finger, it's possible through some mental processes to alter the state of your energy field and therefore to influence the paper on pin that lies inside of this field. It's possible to make objects move without direct physical contact. But at the end of the day it's still being affected by physical forces. They are just not present as the physical matter, atoms. These forces are based only on the energy. Atoms, the matter, are just a state of the energy, according to my school's technical library. Now that only means that energy doesn't have to be "visible" or "touchable" and it means that it's not only inside of yourself, but also lies around yourself.

      Did you ever think why gravitation exists? Nobody can explain why two objects attract each other. Think about it. According to astrophysics, even an object that lies thousands of light years away from you influences you in a very small way with its gravitational field. A gravitational field is an example of an energy field that never fades. It gets weaker but it never disappears completely. And that's another important principle: The Chaos Theory. The world is based on causes and consequences.

      You can find a math book about the Chaos Theory. The Chaos Theory says that no matter how small the cause may be, it will affect the whole system, the whole universe. Imagine a butterfly flying somewhere over India. The theory says that even this small movement may and does influence in a very small way the weather in United States. No matter what you do and how small and unimportant your actual actions are, they do change the whole universe. No matter how small the mental process in your head might seem, it does alter, in one way or another, the paper on pin in front of you.

      The stronger that mental process is the more effect you'll see.

      So how can a simple mental process, twitches of the nervous system, be strong enough to move an object outside the physical body?

      I can't answer that question. But if you think for example about the following situation it might show you a possible answer.

      Imagine yourself meditating and suddenly something explodes in front of your window. In the same moment your meditation is over. You get up and run away to see what's going on. It happened because the energy provided by the explosion was stronger than the energy invested in your meditation.

      Now imagine yourself meditating very deeply. Someone outside calls your name, but you don't realize it. Your body still hears it physically, but you don't realize it and keep meditating. This time the energy invested in your meditation was stronger than the energy used to call your name.

      Maybe it's just a crappy theory, but I'm 100% sure it's true. Energy flows where attention goes. Just think of playing pool / billiards. You shoot one of those balls and you miss. Now if you pay your whole attention and even visualize it happening you are most likely to succeed.

      The more attention and concentration you put forth, the more energy is provided to move the object in front of you.

      Step 1: Prepare yourself

      Before you try to do TK it's very important to have your mind clear. Think about it as a computer. Your mind is the RAM memory. Telekinesis requires 100% of this RAM. Now if your mind is full with other stuff, like the party tomorrow afternoon , you can't provide the whole memory, which means you can't pay the whole attention you have. And if you have read the theories you know how important it is.

      Energy flows where attention goes. Just remember it for now. You don't have enough power if there are other things in your mind.

      But how exactly do you calm down, clear your mind and raise your concentration / attention / focus level at the same time? You guessed it: meditation. I suggest the meditation techniques which are more passive and don't require much brain activity. An example is the candle method. You don't even really need a candle, only a point somewhere that is brighter than the environment. For example, a clear coin reflecting the sun's light. You sit down, take few deep breaths and watch it. Don't control your eyes; allow them to lose their focus. The bright point is relaxing for your subconscious. Don't try to think just watch. With some practice you'll just forget about everything around you, and lose yourself. The breathing will become deeper, the mind clear and your whole state calmed.

      Another good method is where you concentrate on your deep, slow breathing. This one seems more difficult to me. It's mostly done with closed eyes and the mind starts to wander easily if your eyes are closed.

      No matter which meditation method you practice, it'll help you to get the right state of mind and the basics needed for telekinesis. I suggest you meditate 20-30 minutes before you start.

      By the way, when you practice telekinesis it's very important not to drain yourself. A drained mind tends to lead to depression & frustration. And if you are frustrated, you have zero chances to move it, believe me. Besides it gives your subconscious a feeling of being a loser, which means you'll not get much co-operation from your inner self. Therefore, it's important that you don't train more than 1 hour in one sitting. I suggest 30-40 minutes. If you are a wild one, you can practice 40 minutes in the morning and another 40 in the evening .

      Having established the times when you want to practice, it's time to prepare the instrument you want to practice with. There are many possibilities like keys on strings or needles floating on the water's surface. I recommend you take the most popular one: the psiwheel / paper on pin. But I suggest you to take aluminum foil instead of normal paper. You have to be careful making it, one wrong movement and you have a hole inside of the foil (laughter). Take a piece of 1.5-2.0 cm (inches?). This is optimal for the psiwheel and extremely easy to move. The friction between the aluminum surface and the metal pin is less than paper's friction.

      Having finished to meditate and having prepared your psiwheel, it's time to start .

      Step 2: Become one

      As the next step you basically have to realize the first principle and apply it. Remember: there is no separation between you and the psiwheel. It lies inside of your capacity field like your fingers or any other part of your body. What you do is to take few deep breaths and focus on the object.

      You tell yourself that the psiwheel is a part of you. Try to find a link between you and the psiwheel. Try to feel what it is like to be the psiwheel (Laughter in the auditorium)... I'm dead serious. Try to see all the little features the psiwheel has. Try to remember how the psiwheel moves and define it as your own movement... Try to hear the sounds it may produce. Try to see it in your head from different viewpoints, without actually moving yourself. Try to sense its surface as you sense the surface of your skin...

      It's difficult to explain, but all those things together, when you focus hard enough, give you (after some time) a strong feeling of the object, the psiwheel. Even a feeling of power may overwhelm you. A feeling where you are 100% sure you can influence it. A feeling where you really feel that you are one with it . A feeling that becomes stronger and more solid as you keep practicing.

      After some time it'll become relatively easy to "sense" the objects you concentrate on. You'll see a tree and get an instant inner feeling of it. You'll get better at it every time you try it.

      There might even come a point where you can feel your whole surroundings, your environment, at the same time. Some time ago I saw a TV report about a group in Germany where a professor of anthropology teaches the people to "see" without using their eyes. His students can actually see in a 360-degree perspective and even read books without opening their eyes.

      Now when you get a good, stable, strong feeling of the psiwheel, then you have established something I call energy link between the object and yourself. If the link is weak or relatively unstable it'll be more difficult to make the psiwheel spin later.

      Step 3: Move it

      Now you have established a good energy link. You can feel the object. You are one with it . At this point, as mentioned earlier, you might notice a strong feeling of power over the psiwheel. It's like if you look at your hand and are sure that the next moment you are going to move it. This might cause even random reactions of your body: you try to move the psiwheel and suddenly your hand moves forward. When these random movements happen, you just have to relax and try to "sense" the object better. They happen only because you are too excited and you have to calm down.

      Don't worry about the need to move the psiwheel. It's not exactly like moving your arm where you have to urge yourself. Give yourself the time and make sure your mind is clear. Do not worry, your body knows about your purposes. And you'll move the object as soon as you are ready for it. In some way it's like surfing, you do your best and wait for the wave to catch it.

      When the moment comes the psiwheel will start to spin and you'll know you're moving it.

      Moving something with your mind (telekinesis) gives you a strange feeling that is hard to define. How is it moved? The catchy phrase "Just do it," explains a lot but also nothing at the same time.

      If I analyze the feeling I can only find an analogue in a strong feeling of confidence. Remember the last time you were shooting baskets? The feeling when you knew you weren't going to miss even before you threw the ball? Or take a calculator and press "2" "+" "2". Do you have confidence about the result when you press "="? That might be a cheap analogy, but in some way it's a unique thing I can think of.

      You can also say it's like moving your arms, but at the same time it doesn't feel completely like that, since there are no muscles between you and the psiwheel.

      My suggestion is: you try it out yourself .

      So when you get the feeling of the object, don't urge yourself and keep in mind your objective. Your inner self (subconscious) knows the aim and will try everything possible to move the psiwheel as your attention increases.

      The time will come and that little thingy will start to spin .

      Conclusion

      Telekinesis is something you can't really use in your life. But it's a very interesting thing to play with or just to amaze your friends . When you start practicing the whole process can take from few days to many months. It's very different for each person. I don't want to repeat the same words you've heard thousands of times about how important it is to keep practicing. You just have to go on, buddy. Look at it as if you didn't have another alternative .

      As for me, I take my retirement . If you have any questions, they'll be officially answered in 12 months when the next article might be published (snicker in the audience) .

      Or just send me an e-mail and I'll try my best to answer it.

      That's all folks! It's 4:20am here and I'm glad I've finished this manual. I had to cut over 2000 words and many unnecessary lyrics, hehe... Ideas were born... Words were written... It's time for me to rest.

      My mind fades... Memories alter... Dreams come true...

      Telekinesis: Thoughts, Techs, and Tips
      by Peebrain

      Introduction
      Hello one and all. I've learned a lot since the last time I've spoke to everyone about telekinesis. For the past few months I've been practicing pretty regularly with the paper-on-pin exercise from my first article, Introduction to Telekinesis. After a lot of success, I started to keep a kind of "journal" recording things I've noticed and other tid-bits of information. What's that you say? You want to read my journal? Just click on the notebook to take a gander... Some of it is useless but there are some good spots .
      Thoughts
      I'm starting to try to piece together this strange ability. The first thing that comes to mind is the effort on my part. Defining this focused state I go into is a little hard... an analogy might help me there. Let's say I give you a task - move the ball in front of you. You easily reach out with your hand and give it a shove. What effort was there? Barely any. You didn't really think about moving your arm, you didn't think "flex biceps, now forearm", you just understood the task then fulfilled it. Even as I write this I can see this half-effort thing I'm talking about. I don't think about the shape of each letter or the spelling of the words as I write them. I have a sentence in my mind and my task is to "write this down." There's no real force or intense focus - it just happens. Telekinesis is the same way.
      Using the same analogy though, we can see it's a little harder than that. I could perform the "push the ball" task when little, but could I write sentences? Of course not. It took focus and practice to get where I am now. I had to learn the skill, then I could do it with no effort. Just like if I was a baby I wouldn't be able to push the ball. Telekinesis, if like other skills, takes focus at first, but eventually becomes effortless after the initial phase. The problem is getting through this phase.

      If I tell a six year old to write a sentence, although they can't, they know how it's accomplished. They've seen others do it and know what happens, they just can't perform the task themselves. Unfortunately, we don't have that luxury with telekinesis. How can we learn if we have nothing to learn from? This article may help some, but it's merely my personal discoveries and observations. It's better than nothing, but without any experienced telekinetics spreading information, it makes the learning process very slow. We all have questions in our heads that would be obvious to a veteran, but with a skill this rare, it's kind of tough to find a reliable source of information. I'll explore some questions I have in my head and maybe we can all learn something .

      The key question currently in my mind is "How is this possible"? Scientifically, I mean, how is it possible for one to move an object with their mind? I've heard theories on electromagnetic fields and have come up with my own thoughts on magnetism and static electricity but I'm still clueless. I've also thought about linking aerokinesis to it - creating gusts of wind to move an object. Then we can get even more complex and ask "Is there more than one way to accomplish telekinesis?" You can write with a pen in your hands or a pen in your mouth, who says there's only one explanation for TK?

      Maybe the answers will come in time - I'm not sure. Do I need to know how it works to progress any further? Do I need to know specific details to perform TK? I don't think so. I know, in general, that through thought I move something. The six year old knows that through finger movements, they write. They don't need to know the interaction between the ink and paper or the specific electrical signals sent by the brain, they just need a primitive understanding. This is all we should need for TK then.

      How should the beginner start and more importantly (for me) what should the teacher provide? What are you looking for? The more I think about it, the clearer the answer becomes: Techniques and tips for success. The important part to understand is that you have to practice if you want this skill. There is no special tech or secret words that "unlock" the ability. Some might progress faster than others, as with any skill, but effort is needed on the side of the student. I truly don't know that for a fact though... Personally, I believe there is a certain understanding and once you grasp it, you can perform TK to any extent. Currently I feel the only way to achieve this "TK nirvana" is through constant practice and constant questioning. In the future I'm sure there will be a less tedious way, but someone's got to lead the way, why not us ? Anyways... enough of this philosophical crap, onto the techs !!!

      Exercises
      The first exercise I will swear by is the paper-on-pin one I described in my last article. It has changed my whole outlook on telekinesis and has really helped me gauge my progress, not to mention the confidence boost. Here are simple instructions on how to make the device:





      What I do is balance the paper on a thumbtack and focus on spinning it (being careful not to breath on it). Visualization sometimes works but I find not thinking about anything is the most effective. Try to shut your conscious mind up and let your unconscious take over... see what it can do. Don't ask questions, don't react to movement, just understand your goal and watch it come true. I find that putting my finger super-close to one of it's corners helps a lot. I try to extend my aura into the objects aura. It's good to start this way but don't become dependent on it - I believe it helps the mind accept this strange phenomenon but it's really just another limit not worth putting on yourself. Use it at first but practice without it too. I've also found it's easier for my mind to bob the tool up and down rather than spin it - try both and see what's best for you.
      Here is the second exercise I have also had success with. Take a bowl or cup and fill it with water. Now take a toothpick or something that floats and put it in the water. Wait for the ripples and waves to calm down then try to move the object while it floats there. This works great because there is relatively no friction. As with the last exercise though, you have to be careful. Bumping the table and breathing too heavily will produce false results.

      Techniques
      Now that you have some things to work with, we can get into the actual "How To" part. I know it sounds way too simple, but the method I use the most is just doing it. There's no thought in my mind, I just move it. It just happens. I can't describe it any other way... When I couldn't do TK it used to piss me off that others would say "Just do it" because it says absolutely NOTHING about HOW. But that's the thing... there is no "how" - you just do it . How do you move your arm? How do you smell the cake in the other room? You just DO.
      No, I won't cheap-out and only give you that way to do it. Sometimes I find that I can't "just do it". That's when I pull the tricks out ... The first trick is to fool your subconscious into doing TK. Let's face it, sure, your subconscious is smart in a lot of aspects, but in others it's a complete idiot. It's gullible and mechanic. We can take advantage of this! What I do is to convince my mind that I am moving the object; I say things like "See? It just moved! - There it goes again! It's bobbing up and down..." No, it's not really moving, but by focusing on believing it, I can trick my mind to actually do it. For example, say I'm trying to move the paper-on-pin. I try my usual "just do it" method and get frustrated because I'm getting nowhere fast. First, I take a little break. Let my mind cool off and try to relax and have fun... Then I say to myself "I AM GOING TO MOVE IT". I look at the paper and it stands still... I focus and it's stationary... Then I say to myself "Hey, look, the paper just moved up and down a little itty bitty. You didn't see it? Well it just moved... keep watching. See? There it goes again! You're doing it!" No, the paper isn't moving, but I convince my mind that it is... I trick my subconscious into thinking it's moving the paper. After a second or two, my subconscious says "What? I'm moving the paper? OH! Ok!" and BOOM, the paper spins around in circles. Victory! Then I usually say something like "Hahahaha, I tricked you!" .

      Usually I can't use visualization when doing TK... it just doesn't seem to work. One of the few visualizations that work is the following: Imagine all the energy in the room as tiny particles. "See" them swirling around like a tornado... whooshing around you... moving like wind through the air... Then direct all this energy towards the object. Get the energy-wind to blow the object in a direction. Believe it or not, it works! I've debated whether this is Aerokinesis (moving and generating winds with your mind) but I've decided that Aerokinesis should be a subclass of Telekinesis. It's moving something with your mind, right? So, I don't know if you're actually doing aerokinesis here or if you're moving the object with energy, but it gets the job done, so who cares ?

      Just perceiving the energy of the object can be a good technique in itself. I'm not going into the details of aura vision but seeing the objects energy interact with your aura makes it a lot easier. I will even debate you don't even need to learn aura vision. Again, trick your subconscious... or even just suggest to your subconscious to see the energy. Say something like "Look at the objects energy - manipulate it and use it to move the object". You don't have to actually see the energy (but it does help, obviously). Tell your subconscious too see the energy... instruct it to use this knowledge. You are in control, you tell your subconscious what to do.

      Just using basic energy manipulation you can try to achieve telekinesis too. It's not very effective for me, but it might work wonders for you, so I'll include it here. Basically, just as you create psi balls, you emit energy out of, say, your finger-tip. Two things I've noticed here... 1. Energy being emitted INTO the object will pull the object towards my finger. I can't push with energy... the energy moves through the object like a river and the object moves UPSTREAM. I don't know why, but that's how it works with me. 2. Sometimes my energy is better used as a semi-circle around the object. Not going through it, but kind of surrounding it. Like a shield almost. Try both ways and see if you can get it to work... like I said above, this doesn't work very well for me. I've had very limited results doing this technique - but give it a shot anyways. You never know until you try .

      I still have one more technique up my sleeve... Convince you're mind that the object needs to move. Think "It needs to do this." Turn the object into a being in your mind then persuade yourself to think the being wants to do something. For example, I look at the paper. I think "Hey little guy... oh man, you need to spin this way. You really need to do that." Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Give it a go and see what happens.

      Tips
      The tips I'll present are ideas that just came to me. My mind would be having trouble and then, all of the sudden, I would "hear" a word or phrase that would make me understand what I was doing wrong. I believe telekinesis is a state of mind... an understanding of the world. Ones that can do it naturally already have this understanding. Others, like you (I assume) and me, have to develop this "understanding". These keywords helped me get closer to it, maybe they'll help you.
      The first word that ever came to me was "Graceful." I was forcing energy upon the object, trying pretty hard to get it going, when my mind said it. I thought, "Hmmm, why the hell did I just hear 'graceful'?" So I tried to emit the energy gracefully. To make a short story shorter, it worked ! Instead of bombarding the object with energy, I used the energy in a smooth, curve-like manner. Heh, "graceful" is the best word to describe it.

      The second thing I heard was "Perceive and Manipulate." This goes back to my one technique above - it's pretty self-explanatory. Basically, I was just tired and not thinking that much. My techniques weren't working that good and my mind just blurted it out. Like last time, I understood what to do and it worked like a charm . The idea is to understand the object through energy perception and manipulate this understanding. It's hard to explain - you're just going to have to try it and learn yourself.

      The third phrase that jumped into my head was "Realize and understand that the power just exists." After I heard that and began to understand it's meaning, I became much more powerful and had a lot more control over the paper. These phrases aren't easy to explain... maybe you have to actually experience them to understand it fully. It basically says that, just as you exist, the power exists. It's so simple it's confusing . The power just exists. I wish I could go more in depth... there's really not much to say though.

      I'll keep listening to my mind and try to "hear" more tips - if you want some other tips, read my journal. The link is at the top of this article. You'll probably be able to gather something useful from it (I hope).

      Conclusion
      Ahhhh! Finally done! This article might have taken you 10 minutes to read but it took me a couple weeks to write and 8 months of research and experiments! Whoo wee. Anyways... I hope it's had some use to you. If you're a beginner, don't expect a lot of this stuff to work. I'm not saying it won't - I'm just saying don't be mad if it doesn't. I don't want e-mails of people saying "Your techs don't work" only to find out they've been practicing psi for 2 weeks. Sorry, telekinesis is an advanced skill and takes time and patience. I'll let you go - keep practicing and if you discover a bunch useful information, write an article for me pleeeeaaassseee . Love and light... see ya in my next article!

      Psychokinesis the Gnomish Way
      by Gnome

      Greetings creatures great and not-so-great!

      Today I will tutor you in the fine art of beginner psychokinesis. The angle of this article will be on the infamous "Just do it" method, which I will explain to the best of my ability. While there will be direct instructions I must clarify that some parts of this article will deal with confirmationary data that only serves to assure you that you are heading in the right direction and, as such, should not be directly strived for. Simulating a sensation that occurred in conjunction with a particular situation does not guarantee said situation will occur a second time. And with that said, let us begin.

      For learning psychokinesis you will need to equip yourself with the following:

      One psiwheel
      At least half an hour you can spend solely on yourself in a stress-free environment
      A fresh and relaxed mind
      Place the wheel in front of you. Relax. Take a few deep breaths and slightly open up yourself. Now what we are going to do is make the object in question -- in this case a next-to-free-floating paper umbrella carefully balanced upon the sharp end of a needle -- move by expecting it to do so. This is the step short off "just doing it". This is a tried and true method of manifesting psychokinesis by untrained "ungifted" individuals and was used by the Soviets to train several hopeful groups of students. I personally prefer to teach new people psychokinesis this way because it is a relatively uncomplicated procedure and has a high success rate.

      Keep your mind void of thoughts, position yourself in a "reacting" mode and look at the wheel, specifically at one of the bent edges. Position your vision so you can comfortably focus on both an edge and the empty space an inch or two in front of it. Now pretend you are watching a movie you've seen several times and know inside out. Look at the edge and fully expect it to move an inch forward. Try to put yourself in a mindset that will make you feel a slight indignation if it doesn't move.

      Many inexperienced psychokinetics fancy PK to feel like an "active" force when in reality, it is quite the opposite. At first, it generally feels very laid back and like you are watching someone else move the object, or it moving itself, separate from any commands you might be directing to it. At best it feels like working through a medium of some sort. If the wheel did not move yet, do not be discouraged. It's a little more complicated and abstract than that.

      Now is a good time to remind you that the following state of mind is not meant to be visualized or in any other way directly simulated, active thinking will at first prevent your psychokinetic tries. So these are merely to be used as reference data that will tell you if you are heading in the right direction.

      While in a relaxed, no-thought state of mind and looking at the object in front of you, chances are you will feel what can only be described as an overlay/over-head connection to the object. Like an immaterial hand or a windy grip that are neither hand nor grip but has similar characteristics. The reason I stress not actively thinking and promote a reactive state of mind is because this connection is brought on and maintained by very careful balancing. If you try too hard you push yourself over the required focus, and if you are too passive and too much into an observatory state, you won't seize the focus in the first place.

      This is, in my own humble opinion, the reason why objects usually do not move automatically while just being observed and also why many aspiring psychokinetics experience the object moving in a jerky fashion. As they momentarily glitch over the correct PK "focus point" they burp out nearly spontaneous bursts of psychokinetic force. The reason that contributes to this problem is that they actively try to move the wheel through what they perceive as accurate "PK force", as I mentioned before, a force you aggressively push forward. Granted this does work for a select few and is an option when the mechanics of PK is "in your spine" so to speak, but as this article is geared towards the inexperienced we'll disregard this for the time being.

      The only cure for this is repetitive training on the wheel or any other object until you can move it slowly, smoothly and steadily. The overlay/overhead connection is somewhere in between physical movement and thought and the only analogy I can provide you is that of how a car works. You need to find the exact right leverage between the accelerator and the clutch in order to make the car move forward. The same applies here, with enough expectation of the object to move combined with the right no-thought wish for it to do so and your body will create the cloudy, whispy psychokinetic force that hits the target of your choice.

      How to communicate through this channel I cannot explain as there is nothing quite like it. The best way I can put it is that you communicate through the overlay connection wordlessly and thoughtlessly in a form that resembles a reaction. To move it to the left, you react "to the left" through the overlay connection.

      Yes, it sounds confusing but if you work with it you will understand what I mean. This is not something you armchair yourself through.

      So in conclusion - Locate the object, relax your mind and enter an observatory but "reactive" state of mind and watch the object move itself while at the same time expecting it to do so. See it as a seperate entity, a cat, that moves itself but accepts your command if you carefully will it in the right direction.

      Good Luck.

      "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."

      "We're so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about."

      "He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilisation should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
      -Albert Einstein
