Thread: Pyrokinesis: Possible or impossible?

In dreams it's posible! I tried throwing a fireball at some guy, it hardly burned his hair

Good point. In a dream, absolutely anything is possible, and just a mere thought away. However, my original question was about whether it's possible within waking reality or not.

Mowglycdb, what are your thoughts on that?

you mean like creating fire out of nothing? or setting something on fire? maybe if you get 1000 people experienced in psi and qigong masters they could unite energy into one point to set a paper on fire????

Yes, I mean precisely that. However, it's not entirely out of 'nothing'. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it is only borrowed. Therefore, it is essential for pyrokinesis, as it's heat energy we require initially to spark a flame.

As simple as that sounds, I hadn't considered that before. Group-work? Maybe it could certainly speed up the process.

Intellectual honesty? Oh never mind.

In case you weren't aware Will, the things I asked you to cite were not in that website. So now you're going to adjust your position, right?

Fair point, however that subject was a major side-track from the original, and has now come to a close. If you want to discuss that, please set up your own thread in relation to that.

I believe this is at an end. Pyrokinesis, or nothing. That whole debate was unnecessary, and time wasting.

Yes I believe that raising my own physical tempeture a bit is posible, when I channel reiki my hands get quite hotter, but I don't know if combined forces would make it hotter than that you know?

I would, but I'm bored with the conversation due to you taking cheap shots like few worded posts used to provoke flame wars between all of us.

*Yawn*

If you insist, what is not on the website I provided?

I guess the only way we'll know (or get a step closer) is to conduct an experiment with many experienced individuals.

I believe there was an experiment done with a thousand people where they focused on a tree and set it on fire, but its just something I've heard so I haven't done any research on it.

The fact that you consider quoting the exact same thing you said to me as 'flaming' should really make you stop and reconsider. Of course, you're not going to, but it should.

To answer your question, just reread my original post?

Nope. What's possible and what's not is defined by what knowledge we have about the world. The most efficient and reliable way of attaining and building on knowledge is the scientific method (source: History of the world - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), so it is indeed very relevant to the thread.

Red herring with irony, my favourite.

Where did you hear that? Sounds intriguing.

We're not proving it ourselves, so we won't be using it. Unless your conducting a study for all of us? If so, thanks a bunch! If not, just shut up because your typing style is boring me, you jumped in the middle of something ending, and your not contributing to anything but flame.

Kthnx.

Please don't tell people to shut up, and don't say somebody is flaming when they clearly aren't. If you think somebody is going over the top then PM a moderator.

I'll try to find it (It'll take me a sec.)

Can't find it, I suppose it was a rumor. (Although I did find this if it sparks any interest.)

You asked if it's possible, as far as we know it's not and it has already been shown why the use of a scientific mindset is justified. There's no need to get mad at people disagreeing with you.

Perhaps I was a bit mean, apologies.

But I'm afraid we'll have to move from that argument, its wasting precious time, lets be a bit more productive in our posts.
I realize we're doing nothing but needlessly harming each other, we are all equal humans and deserve respect.

Although try to see it like this: We are all equal humans, and one side of humans think one thing and another think something else.
Are either of them 'crazy'? No, they simply don't understand each other.

You actually believe all humans are equal?
This is obviously not true because some people can perform Telekinesis while others can't.

Equality in a different sense, I think he means.

What other sense is there? Please explain because I'm not sure I understand.

Oh, and my contribution to the thread: pyrokinesis is impossible.
