Real people with telekinesis. Telekinesis. A proven fact and the innate ability of every person. Austrians Willy and Rudi Schneider

It happens that before you take out the right thing from some hard-to-reach place, a thought flashes through your head: “if only I could get it out of there without any special obstacles, just by looking at it ...”. And we don’t think much at such moments about the fact that there are people who do this. Which are able to move objects with the power of thought alone. This ability is called telekinesis, which literally translates as "moving at a distance." It is not known whether they use it for practical purposes, but cases are known all over the world when people demonstrated their extraordinary abilities.

Can you learn telekinesis?

Sometimes some people want to be considered magicians, having absolutely no data for this. But demand creates supply, and therefore now you can find literature or articles on the Internet, where it is proposed to teach telekinesis to anyone. If telekinesis really exists, can anyone learn it?

Telekinesis is a gift that not everyone is born with. This is the power of thought, the power of the bioelectric field, which occurs in people in very rare cases. This is like an ear for music, like a poetic gift: if a person was not born with them, then it will be impossible to teach him this. Abilities can only be developed to perfection, but if they are not there, then they can only be born in you during a serious psychological or physical shock.

Controversy over the reality of telekinesis

The debate about whether telekinesis is a real inexplicable phenomenon, or is it the result of a skillful fraud, has not subsided so far. The term "telekinesis" itself was first used at the end of the 19th century, it was introduced by the paranormal researcher A. N. Aksakov. Of course, there were cases of telekinesis before that, they just didn’t try to consider them from a scientific point of view, and they didn’t try to characterize them in any specific way. In past centuries, all the phenomena of telekinesis had one name - witchcraft. But as soon as scientists became interested in telekinesis, attempts began to check the reality of the phenomena occurring.

Laboratory experiments began at the beginning of the 20th century, but they did not bring definite results. The fact is that at that time séances were usually held in darkened rooms, and this made it much more difficult to try to convict a person of fraud. Only later, in the middle of the century, experiments began to be carried out in laboratory conditions. In 1970, a laboratory experiment was conducted in Leningrad with Ninel Kulagina, a woman who possessed telekinesis. Her abilities were studied in Russia for about 20 years. She could move small objects with her eyes, like a matchbox. The entire experiment was recorded on film, and a powerful electric field was found around her hands. However, foreign countries questioned the Russian experiment and stated that Kulagina does not have telekinesis, but uses nylon threads to perform her "tricks".

A $1 million prize has now been announced for demonstrating telekinesis abilities using the latest meta-analysis technique, which eliminates any possibility of falsification. However, it still remains undelivered to anyone.

Of course, whether telekinesis actually exists, or is just the result of sleight of hand, is not yet known. Before the invention of the meta-analysis technique, telekinesis was tested in other laboratories with different people. And it seems absolutely incredible that all of them could skillfully cheat there. It's just that science is hard to put up with the fact that it cannot be described and does not fall under the wording of "scientific fact".

The power of thought - people who can move objects at a distance live in Kostroma.

It is believed that telekinesis It is the ability to move objects with the power of the mind. It's not skill, it's knowledge. It often happens that it wakes up not after long and exhausting workouts, but after the level of development is sufficient. They also say that telekinesis is the parapsychological ability of people to perform actions on various objects without physical contact with them, but with visual and mental contact. And that telekinesis is only a millionth part of what a person can do during development.
All this could be brushed aside as a fairy tale, fantasy or an unheard of, if ...
If we could find in Kostroma people with practical skills of telekinesis.
One of them is Natalya Kalyuzhnaya, a psychologist. The fact that the world does not work the way most people imagine it, Natalya Borisovna guessed from childhood, when it was forbidden to think about the supernatural.
“Telekinesis is just the tip of a huge iceberg,” says Natalya Borisovna, “it’s just an opportunity to show a person what abilities he has, without knowing about them.”
Indeed, in a practical sense, the ability to move objects around the table with a special mental attitude (and not the power of thought) does not give anything. It is more convenient even for the most notorious paranormal people to hold a spoon in their hand. But according to the firm conviction of the founders of the St. Petersburg Institute of Biosensory Psychology, if extrasensory abilities are inherent in every person, then they are needed for something.
One of the most tempting opinions is that a person who does not “forget” about these abilities of his, sees the world in brighter, more interesting colors, he has more opportunities: moral, physical, mental, spiritual. He can affect his health, he does not get sick. “It is not being that determines consciousness. And consciousness determines being,” concludes Natalya Kalyuzhnaya.
But here another question arises. If we take it for granted that it is, and it works, then is it worth experimenting with it? Isn't it dangerous? After all, it is still unknown what telekinesis is and how it works. Until now, not everyone knows and believed in the supernatural abilities of every person. Natalya Kalyuzhnaya is sure that it is necessary to experiment. From the point of view of science, these are facts that can change the view of many things.

World record
It happened in the summer of 2008 in St. Petersburg. They decided to arrange a session of telekinesis, document it and put it in the Guinness Book of Records.
In mid-July, two hundred and fifty people from different cities of Russia moved light objects without contact. They made matches move on the table, table tennis balls move on water, and paper spirals were twisted in glass flasks. From the outside, nothing spectacular. After all, everyone is so used to the spectacular tricks of Copperfield and the computer graphics of Hollywood.
But in this case, the very fact of what happened is important - everything was real, and the emphasis is important: the record was set in the nomination "The largest community of people trained in the shortest possible time with telekinesis skills." In other words, many participants in the process were taught to move objects over several sessions.
The achievement has already been entered in the Russian Book of Records, information about it has been sent to the Guinness Book of Records.
And many skeptics, among them prominent Russian scientists, who before the experiment did not believe in such human abilities, now shrug their shoulders and admit: it is, and it works.
Of the two hundred and fifty participants who mastered the skills of telekinesis, there were also twenty-five Kostroma residents. “There are two children among us,” says Natalya Kalyuzhnaya, adding, “this is very important, because every person has psychic abilities from his very birth. But upbringing, life gradually "enslaves" a person. He uses only the sense organs familiar to our civilization. Children are more open, because they do not yet have a load of unnecessary knowledge and experiences, unnecessary experience. They don't ask how to make an object move, they just do it."

Gagarin's hometown
What made Natalya Kalyuzhnaya believe in the paranormal abilities of a person?
The first time the supernatural (let's emphasize it in bold) happened in the early sixties, a year or two after Yuri Gagarin's flight into space.
Natalya Kalyuzhnaya, a schoolgirl and pioneer, was in a country camp. But she didn’t get much joy from the rest, because she fell ill and lay in a medical isolation ward. And then they announced that her detachment was going on an excursion to Yuri Gagarin's hometown. Naturally, any Soviet student wanted to touch the living legend and visit Gzhatsk. Desperately wanted to go on a tour and Natalia Kalyuzhnaya. But who will take the sick child?
And Natalya decided that she would not go anywhere, no matter how much she dreamed about it. And then ... Further, from the words of Natalia Borisovna herself: “I suddenly clearly caught that I had gone beyond the limits of my body, and I was doing something in space. It is difficult to convey in words, but I felt the length of space, its layers, which went to infinity. And I don’t know how, but there was a strong feeling that there was an interaction in space. And I get that interaction.
Shortly after that, I recovered, and got on the trip that I dreamed of.
For herself, Natalya Borisovna connected the excursion to Gagarin's hometown with what happened in the hospital.
Further, similar processes were repeated in significant life moments for her, including when choosing a profession. “But I thought it was only mine, personal. Special events that only happen to me. And I thought it was wrong, that it shouldn't be. Although it worked well, and helped me determine in life "...

The phenomenon of telekinesis has been haunting the human mind since ancient times. And although official science does not recognize this phenomenon, enthusiastic researchers around the world are sure that if the mechanism of telekinesis is discovered, then it may be possible to find new non-traditional energy sources that humanity needs so much.

How to master telekinesis - this question has worried our ancestors since ancient times. Telekinesis (from the Greek "movement at a distance") - the ability of a person to influence physical objects without the direct application of muscle effort. For the first time this term was used in 1890 by the Russian paranormal researcher Alexander Aksakov. Interestingly, the ability to move objects is only one side of the phenomenon, the so-called macrotelekinesis. Another, no less intriguing variety of the phenomenon is microtelekinesis, which includes exposure to electronic devices, heating water, destroying a solid surface, creating images on photographic plates, lighting fluorescent lamps with a glance, and much more.

Telekinesis has been known since ancient times. Supporters of the phenomenon believe that many of our ancestors knew how to master telekinesis, and used unusual abilities for practical purposes. For example, during a sea voyage, by an effort of will, they “increased” the speed of the ship in order to quickly reach the other shore and not die in a storm. Mass interest in the phenomenon arose in the 19th century - during the heyday of mediumship and spiritualism. But by the beginning of the 20th century, attention to telekinesis had noticeably decreased, since no significant evidence of its reality was found. However, in the 60s, telekinesis again became a favorite in our country - thanks to the "phenomenon of Ninel Kulagina."

A simple housewife from Leningrad could effortlessly move small objects (for example, a sugar cube or a matchbox), cause the compass needle to rotate, scatter a laser beam with her hands, change the acidity (pH) of water, and much more. This attracted the attention of many Soviet and foreign scientists.

A few years ago, the name of the head of the Department of Life Safety at the YSPU named after Ushinsky in Yaroslavl, Alexei Gushchin, was mentioned, who knows firsthand how to master telekinesis. Thanks to his achievements, he was listed in the Guinness Book of Records, having received in 2010 the title of "The only professor in the world, doctor of medical sciences, capable of lowering the pain sensitivity of living organisms and causing the movement of light objects with the power of his gaze." Aleksey Gushchin demonstrated his achievements during the international seminar “Reserve Human Capabilities” (Yaroslavl, May 2010).

The record holder's abilities are impressive. Professor Gushchin manages with a single glance to set in motion an arrow made of foil, which is located on the tip of a vertically mounted injection needle and is closed with a transparent glass cap from air puffs. He can also affect the foil arrow by looking at her photograph. Alexei Gennadievich says that during non-contact interaction with objects, he plunges into a kind of trance and in this state begins to feel his inner world and the surrounding space more acutely. Further, mentally influencing the environment between himself and the object, he makes it move.

The inheritance of the elect or the gift of each?

Among those studying the phenomenon, there is an opinion that not everyone has the ability to telekinesis. “In telekinesis, it’s the same as in gymnastics: if a person is naturally endowed with flexibility, training will have a great effect. If there are no deposits, the effect will be close to zero, says researcher and writer Igor Isaev. “A person with the ability to telekinesis can achieve the first results after a year and a half of daily practice.”

You can check if you have the prerequisites for mastering telekinesis. To do this, it is enough to make an electroencephalogram of the brain, however, when you are in a special, altered state of consciousness.

According to psychiatrist Dr. Andrew Li, MD, there are clear neurophysiological characteristics according to which the activity of the brain must be organized in order for the phenomenon to manifest itself in a person. In everyday life, the activity of neurons is concentrated in those areas of the brain that are responsible for our normal activities.

But when we engage in certain practices, the activity of neurons can be concentrated in other, previously unused areas of the cerebral cortex. If such a concentration is visible on the electroencephalogram, then the person has the makings. They can show up after injuries, infectious diseases, clinical death, or become the result of targeted training. If the activity of neurons is distributed in a standard way, then there are no inclinations, and no efforts will lead to the desired effect.

According to a number of other experts, all people have the necessary data to create such miracles. “Telekinesis is a natural ability of absolutely every person,” experts from the Institute of Biosensory Psychology in St. Petersburg are sure. “Anyone can master basic telekinesis skills within 20 minutes and show noticeable results.”

Let's check!

Nadezhda Timokhina, a specialist of the institute, becomes my guide to the world of the unknown. For 15 minutes, I perform a special practice - "power breathing", which helps to activate the body's internal resources and prepare for a direct impact on the object. Then I sit down on the edge of the chair, keep my back straight, put my feet firmly on the floor, put my hands on my knees with my palms up. It is important to take such a position so that the tension in the body does not distract you from the process. A comfortable, comfortable body position is one of the important factors for achieving the result.

I focus my attention on a paper spiral suspended from a thread and placed in a glass flask that is on the table in front of me. In less than five seconds, the spiral begins to spin slowly. "Congratulations. You quickly achieved success, ”Nadezhda notes.

But can telekinesis be harmful? According to Andrew Li, if you overdo it with training, there is a chance that a person will get sick or even die. It was numerous experiments that led to the deterioration of Ninel Kulagina's health. During the experiments, she was always very overloaded, the pressure changed dramatically, all this provoked a stroke and Kulagina's premature departure from life. And another Russian woman, Elvira Shevchik, who became famous for her ability to “suspend” objects in the air and hold them for quite a long time, stopped seeing during the demonstration of her talents.

To show "miracles", both women had to prepare for several hours and even whole days. And after - the same amount of recovery.

“If you overdo it, then energy losses during telekinesis can become a threat to life,” warns Igor Isaev. “Therefore, such resources should be used for other purposes, and not to show tricks to the public.”

Just physics

It is no wonder that a phenomenon that causes so much talk is attracting the attention of scientists. It began to be actively explored in the second half of the last century. In recent years, the direction has been actively explored by physicists in Germany, England, the USA, Japan, setting as their main goal the understanding of the mechanism of telekinesis. If this succeeds, then, in their opinion, the knowledge gained can be applied to the search for new non-traditional energy sources. Currently, the European Union is investing heavily in the development of this area.

Telekinesis is not officially researched in Russia now, although in the 1960s and 1980s, many Soviet specialists paid serious attention to it. Large-scale studies were carried out at the Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics (IRE) of the USSR Academy of Sciences. “We didn’t see miracles or any violations of the laws of physics then,” says Alexander Taratorin, a former employee of the laboratory for the study of extrasensory abilities of a person at the IRE Academy of Sciences of the USSR. - None of the people moved large objects at a distance, everything else could be explained by simple electrostatics. Several decades have passed since then, and there has been no evidence that anyone can actually work miracles.”

As for Ninel Kulagina, the IRE AN researchers came to the conclusion that the woman really had unusual physiological abilities. When she concentrated and strained, from her hands (apparently from the sweat glands) she sprayed out the thinnest trickles of liquid (apparently, sweat mixed with histamine). These trickles created a difference in electrical potentials between the body and the object. Scientists have recognized that Kulagina's abilities are a very interesting physiological phenomenon, a vivid example of the existence of scientific mysteries related to the functioning of the human body.

Supporters of telekinesis, however, have a different point of view on this matter. Many of the objects that Kulagina acted on were made of dielectrics and conductive materials, so their movement cannot be explained by electrostatics alone. In addition, the movement of objects often took place under the hood. It is also important that the objects moved towards Kulagina, and not away from her.

In the same 1980s, other observations were made. In Moscow, the Foundation for Parapsychology. L.L. Vasiliev, 80 volunteers were collected, of which several groups were formed. Each group was faced with the task of setting in motion a “pinwheel” (a rotating element made of aluminum foil, fixed on a needle standing on cotton wool or plasticine) by “power of thought” while being at a distance of several meters from it and closing their eyes (simply imagining the object).

“We took the experiments very seriously,” says Professor Andrey Li. “The spinner was installed under a glass dome with a carbon film sprayed inside it to remove the electrostatic charge and prevent heat fluxes from entering from the outside.” Groups were also formed according to predetermined schemes: people were united based on their psychological compatibility. Foundation studies have shown that these parameters play a decisive role in the success of the test subjects.

And the result really was. True, the turntable "spun" only in five groups out of twelve. It is interesting that individually, the participants in the experiments did not show the ability to telekinesis at all. The researchers concluded that people who do not have the necessary inclinations can, by joining forces, influence the subject. On the electroencephalograms of the participants in the experiment, it was clear that in the process of distant interaction, they gradually synchronized the rhythms of brain activity.

In search of origins...

According to many scientists, telekinesis is impossible, since it does not fit into the system of four active forces in classical physics (gravity, electromagnetism, weak and strong interactions). However, a number of supporters of the phenomenon believe that there is another component in addition to those that are already known to science.

“With the development of telekinesis abilities, a person manifests a number of qualities that are clearly of a psychic origin: far-sightedness, “X-ray vision”, parahealing, the ability to suggest, hypnosis, and so on, says Professor Vladimir Tonkov, president of the Institute of Biosensory Psychology. – At the same time, the central nervous system of a person continues to work within the boundaries of normal indicators. It follows from this that it is the psyche that is the real environment that causes these abilities.

Another hypothesis says that telekinesis is one of the manifestations of the highly developed capabilities of the human energy structure, which consists of a large number of large and small energy channels and a system of energy centers. If this system is not developed, then there is little vital energy in the body and therefore the person is weak, passive, often sick; if well developed, then you are healthy and active.

Long-term energy practices, such as yoga and qigong, allow you to manage your energy. And its excess can be spent on small "miracles" - spiritual (energy) healing, the development of paranormal abilities, including the ability to move objects without touching them.

A lot of hypotheses about the reasons for such a movement of objects have appeared by now. Among physicists who support the phenomenon, there is still no consensus on how telekinesis occurs. Many of them explain it using a quantum mechanical approach.

Supporters of the phenomenon argue that it is impossible to attribute the ability to telekinesis only to humans. According to them, our smaller brothers also succeeded in this field. For example, when hungry, rabbits are able to bring a robot with food closer to them. During the experiments, a hungry rabbit was launched into the room where the robot was located. If before the appearance of the animal it moved along a chaotic route (due to the random number sensor installed inside it), then after that it began to spin around the animal.

Interesting research was conducted in the USA in 1997. Near the forest near the laboratory, a feeder was installed, the shutter of which was controlled by a random number generator. When a hungry raccoon dog that came running out of the forest approached the feeder, it began to work more often than it should be according to random number theory. As soon as the forest dweller was satisfied and left, the feeder again began to throw out portions of food occasionally and randomly. All these changes were recorded on a special device.

Adherents of the phenomenon are convinced that a person can influence the surrounding space in the same way as our smaller brothers, however, unlike those who are consciously and controlled. At the moment, one thing is clear: until researchers unravel the secret nature of telekinesis and learn how to reproduce it, the phenomenon cannot be spoken of as a scientifically proven fact.

Expert column

Andrey Li - professor, psychiatrist, doctor of medical sciences, candidate of technical sciences, president of the national public organization "Health":

- The fact that the phenomenon of telekinesis exists has already been proven by numerous studies in Russia and abroad. But not always what looks like telekinesis is it. Often people are honestly mistaken about their abilities. A person can sincerely believe that he has unusual inclinations. And indeed, in the general public, he moves the object without touching it, but only does it due to electromagnetic forces. To avoid such an imitation and make sure that you have achieved the manifestation of telekinesis, you need to observe simple conditions during the experiments:

1. The object you are going to act on is best placed inside a Faraday cage, which is made of a highly conductive material and protects the object from external electromagnetic fields.

2. If you place an object under a glass cap, then paper and other materials subject to electrostatics should not be taken as an object of influence. It is better to use non-magnetic materials, such as aluminum (chocolate foil is perfect). The glass dome will also protect against air and heat flows.

3. For greater purity of the experiment, it is better for a person to be at a distance of several meters from the object on which he acts, and not near it.

Dangerous telekinesis

A poltergeist is a case of telekinesis, spontaneous and uncontrollable, and therefore dangerous. It occurs most often in dysfunctional families, in places of detention, in the army, where people live with a physiological predisposition to telekinesis, but do not know about it. If there is a strong quarrel or fight in the room, then things can spontaneously start moving, objects fall from the shelves, curtains, wallpaper ignite. Why? Due to strong conflicts, changes occur in the internal state of consciousness and the activity of the human brain. That is, the intensity, nature and localization of nervous, mental and electrochemical processes change, as a result of which the manifestation of the effects of telekinesis is possible.

Before moving on to a conversation about human abilities, I want you to first read this parable:

The student came to the teacher and asked:

- "Teacher, I want to develop superpowers in myself, teach me."

- "Not". The teacher said and silently left.

A week passed, and the student again asked the teacher, and again was refused. The student thought that he was not persistent enough and then he began to come to the teacher every day, and every day for a year he was refused.

"Why don't you want to teach me?" The student asked.

- "You're not ready yet."

- “I ask you every day, is it really not enough?”

- "You do not know the truth of your desires."

“I know I really want this, I want this with all my heart.”

-"This is not enough"

Then the disciple fell to his knees and wept….

....-"Good". The teacher said and asked the student to follow him deep into the river.

When they entered the chest-deep water, the teacher said:

- Get down on your knees.

"But then, I won't be able to breathe." The student said.

- "Hold your breath and lower."

The student did just that. As he sank under the water, the teacher put his hands on his shoulders.

After 15 seconds, the student tried to stand up, but the teacher's strong hands prevented him from doing so. In dismay, the student continued to sit, after a moment, he could no longer restrain his desire to inhale air. But the strong hands of the teacher did not allow him to do this. The student began to fight back with all his might, and squirm, and finally, with a cry, emerged from the water ...

-"WHAT WAS IT!!! YOU WANTED TO KILL ME!?” The student screamed...

- "When your desire to learn is as strong as it is now, then I will teach you." The teacher said and silently left ...

Telekinesis

The ability to influence the mechanical movement of physical objects by the power of consciousness is called Telekinesis. It is stated that many people have the gift of telekinesis from birth, while others are able to acquire this ability through training.

Telekinesis training is included in the program of a large number of bioenergetic schools and trainings.

Legends and myths about the ability of a person to directly influence objects for a long time remained just fairy tales. But, starting from the 19th century, unique people began to appear in Europe, whose abilities transferred the phenomenon of telekinesis from the category of myths to the category of scientific incidents that still do not have an unambiguous explanation.

In the middle of the century before last, the spiritualist Daniel Home was known, who conducted seances in England, in which, along with the evocation of spirits, the transformation of the body and other miracles, he demonstrated the techniques of telekinesis (in the West this phenomenon is called psychokinesis). The demonstration of levitation was especially popular with the audience.

Many scientists of that time tried to unravel the secret of "tricks". One of them was the famous whistleblower of charlatans, the Englishman William Crooks. But numerous experiments did not confirm the version of fraud. In front of the surprised scientist, Home, being tied up, made various objects hover over the table and move, and even play the accordion on his own.

Telekinesis was not uncommon in seances of spiritualism. Flying utensils, writing instruments, and even participants in such sessions were lifted into the air or moved around the room with the help of an unknown force.

Since about the beginning of the 20th century, interest in telekinesis has declined. To again sharply revived in the late 50s.

In our country, the phenomenon of telekinesis is closely connected with the name of Ninel Kulagina. A native of Leningrad, born in 1926, lived almost half of her life, unaware of her gift. It was opened by chance in the early 60s and after a few years the “Kulagina phenomenon” became known far beyond the borders of the Soviet Union. Various experiments carried out by the Academy of Sciences have repeatedly confirmed the absence of fraud, military laboratories have tried in vain to register the known sciences of the field.

In 1968, a series of documentaries about Ninel Kulagina was released and shocked the Western public.

In addition to the ability to telekinesis, Ninel possessed pyrokinesis, i.e. c could heat an object simply by putting her hand on it. True, all the experiments were not easy for a woman. In order for objects to start moving, Ninel sometimes needed a rather long period of time to concentrate. And the process itself took a lot of effort.

By the end of the 80s, Ninel Kulagina lost her gift, and until his death in 1990, he never returned to her.

Now a lot of non-state funds and parapsychological institutes are engaged in the phenomenon of telekinesis in Russia. More than 10 author's methods for teaching telekinesis have already been created, hundreds of books and thousands of scientific articles have been written. But the most active topic of telekinesis is being developed in the USA. At Princeton University back in the 70s of the last century, the Princeton Institute of Anomalous Phenomena was opened, which is trying to explain the phenomenon of telekinesis from a scientific point of view. True, in addition to empirically obtained methods for the development of this ability, even American researchers have not made much progress in studying the very mechanism of the phenomenon of telekinesis.

But private companies that produce equipment for the development of paranormal abilities (an example in the photo) and various schools of an esoteric nature that use teaching methods originally developed in various research institutes receive a good income and develop this direction.

For example, here you can find exercises for learning telekinesis.

Telekinesis. Education.

Telekinesis is commonly called the ability of a person to influence the movement of material objects in space or change their shape by influencing them with the "energy of consciousness".

Telekinesis abilities can be either innate or acquired. You can read more about innate telekinesis abilities here. This article will describe exercises that allow you to develop this ability in yourself.

Although the ability to influence objects with the power of thought can be acquired, do not expect that this is a simple skill and it will not be easy to achieve visible results when learning telekinesis. First you need to master the practice of mind control. First, it is a relaxation skill; secondly, it is the ability to stop the internal dialogue.

Having subjugated thoughts, let us dwell on the second important aspect of the development of telekinetic abilities. Starting training in telekinesis, you will encounter a lack of subtle energy of the body. In solving this problem, the practice of recharging and developing energy will help you.

Successful development of the above skills makes it possible to start learning telekinesis. For training, we need a balancer device that easily leaves the state of equilibrium and returns to it - a kind of gyroscope. Now specially designed simulators are being sold, but it is not easy to get them in Russia, and they cost a lot. Therefore, I will describe a few simple balancers that you can do with your own hands.

but). We fold a thin plate of foil or tissue paper and install it on the tip of the needle so that the resulting blade can rotate freely with the slightest effort applied to it. The needle can be attached to a piece of plasticine or an eraser. We cover the resulting structure with a transparent plastic cup to exclude the influence of air vibrations.

b). We roll a cone from paper about 7-12 cm in height. We fix it with tape and hang it on a cotton thread. You can also assemble a figure from straws or matches, as in Fig. 2 above, and also fasten it to the thread.

in). Pour water into a saucer, shake off a drop of oil on the surface of the water. We place a needle on this drop (you need to practice a little so that the needle lies on the water).

G). You can use a radiometer, in particular, its freely rotating petals.

The exercise itself is quite simple. We free the mind from extraneous thoughts and activate the energy. Between the palms spaced at a distance of 10-20 cm from each other, we begin to accumulate bioenergy, achieving maximum concentration. Then we place the assembled device in the space between the palms and try to include it in the personal energy space, to feel it. It is necessary to feel the balancer even with your eyes closed. After the feeling of "inclusion" in the balancer is achieved, you can begin experiments to influence it. Everything is very individual here, but if you feel the subject well, then you will also feel the best way. It is convenient to use both visualization practices and intention. You can influence the configuration of the energy field between the palms, trying to hook the balance bar with it. And someone will be helped by a direct effort of will and an order similar to the one that makes an arm or leg move. The following method is also effective: by "hooking" the spinner with the energy field, create an energy potential difference on the palms and force the energy to flow from one palm to another. Depending on the direction, the spinner will rotate in one direction or another.

When performing this training, any tension will be a hindrance. All that is required is concentration and a state of inner silence. No need to wait for any results to be achieved in the first session. Sometimes the first signs of the manifestation of telekinetic abilities in the form of a deflection of the balance bar appear only after a few months (this is not counting the development of preparatory exercises).

It is important to pay enough attention to the manufacture of a highly sensitive balancer for teaching telekinesis, but it is better to make several different ones. It is possible that the correct execution of the exercise will not be noticeable due to the fact that your balance bar does not turn easily enough. The faster you can notice your impact on the device, the more effectively you can work with it.

Telekinesis training is a very energy intensive practice. At the first signs of fatigue, it is worth stopping, resting and restoring the spent energy. Energy overwork is fraught with problems with physical and mental health.

Having successfully mastered the work with a precise instrument, one can practice telekinesis on a compass needle, matches and pencils. The ability to act on metal objects is very individual. Try how well you feel metal.

LEVITATION

Levitation - Soaring in the air of objects, people and animals without the use of visible physical means and contrary to the force of gravity. Levitation occurs with mediums during seances, with shamans during rituals, in a state of mystical ecstasy and trance, in magic, sorcery, with the appearance of ghosts and possession by an unclean spirit. In parapsychology, levitation is considered to be the phenomena of psychokinesis, or "the power of the spirit over matter." The state of levitation lasts, as a rule, no longer than a few seconds, or perhaps a few minutes.

Religions know countless examples of divinely inspired levitation. Saints and mystics soar in proof of the power of God, either in ecstasy or because of the holiness of their nature. It is alleged that in the 17th century, the Christian Saint Joseph of Cupertino could rise into the air and soar for quite a long period of time. In Eastern mysticism, levitation is a feat. Achieving levitation is possible only when mastering the art of concentration and breathing techniques, which allow you to control the world's vital energy.

The Western notion of levitation suffers from a dichotomy. Saints can soar by the grace of God, but if mere mortals levitate, it is believed that this happens under the influence of the evil spirits of sorcerers, fairies and demons. According to the criteria by which the Catholic Church defines possession by an unclean spirit, levitation is one of the indisputable signs of devilry. In 1906, the demon-possessed Clara Herman Sele, a 16-year-old schoolgirl from South Africa, flew up to five feet in the air, sometimes vertically and sometimes horizontally. As soon as she was sprinkled with holy water, she immediately fell. For cases of poltergeist and the appearance of ghosts, levitation and movement of objects through the air are sometimes characteristic. This happens through the fault of spirits and beings that are not endowed with a soul. In some cases, poltergeist researchers suggest that the human factor comes into play here. These are usually teenagers. Cases have also been recorded with adults in whom strong but suppressed emotions involuntarily generate psychokinetic energy that performs such actions.

Levitation as a phenomenon of physical mediumship was very widespread at the dawn of spiritualism. Spirits were allegedly the reason why mediums at seances rose up from their chairs, and also, having risen into the air, tables and other objects floated around the rooms. Pipes floating through the air, with which the spirits are said to amplify their voices, became fashionable in the middle of the last century. The most astonishing instances of levitation have been attributed to D. D. Home, who is said to have repeatedly caused furniture and other objects to rise into the air during his time as a physical medium. Home himself soared in the air more than 100 times in front of witnesses, and in 1868 he is said to have flown out of windows and into them again. During his flights, Home was not always in a trance state, so he was quite aware of what was happening and how he felt. He said that an invisible force lifted him up and he felt an "electric fullness" in his legs. The Catholic Church excommunicated him as a sorcerer. If he were a saint and not a medium, she would fight for him. Houm was never convicted of fraud, although many other mediums were caught "levitating" objects, arranged with the help of hidden special devices.

Levitation in a controlled experiment is an extremely rare phenomenon. Parapsychologists achieved the effect of turning the table, most likely with the help of psychokinesis, when in the 70s of our century Philip tried to experimentally obtain an artificial poltergeist.

Skeptics argue that levitation can be explained by hallucinations, hypnosis, or simply fraud. Home was accused of using hypnosis to convince the witnesses present that he was flying, when in fact he was sitting in a chair. Like farce conjurers, a ventriloquist medium could easily imitate the type of levitation in the dark that was characteristic of the earliest séances. The medium took off his shoes and lifted his shoes up, holding them with his fingertips. Here he used to say: "I'm taking off," and those present were convinced that they saw the vague outlines of shoes rising into the air.

Not every levitation lends itself to a completely plausible and understandable explanation.

Levitation is easy. There is nothing strange in the fact that people fly, no. It would be surprising if people could not fly. They would sit quietly at home and crammed the ridiculous laws of Newton. No sane person would ever do this. Simply because it would forever undermine his faith in the infinite possibilities of man, in particular, and miracles in general.

As you know, people learned to fly a long time ago. No, of course, not in the time of pterodactyls, but a couple of thousand years ago - for sure. When a man first took off is unknown, but the fact itself is beyond doubt.

The first evidence dates back to the 5th century AD. It was then that the Indian founder of Zen Buddhism, Bodhidharma, taught the monks of the Tibetan monastery to control the energy of the body (translated from Tibetan to human, it means "to fly"). The Buddha and his mentor, the magician Sammat, did not lag behind them - they hung in the air for hours, striking the imagination of students and tourists. However, in some skeptical works, the flight height of the monks is indicated - 90 centimeters. A little. But what do you want - this is the 5th century, there is still no trace of technical progress!

Since then, air-walking Dalai Lamas and flying monks are not uncommon in those places. To visit Tibet and not see the flight of a man is as ridiculous as to leave Scotland without remembering the Loch Ness monster. Here, for example, is the testimony of the English traveler Alexandra David-Neel: "The monk, sitting motionless with bent legs, flew tens of meters, then touched the ground and again soared into the air - like a ball." There are other testimonies as well. Lots of evidence. About monks, yogis and mysterious saddhas. True, they all begin for some reason with the words "How well they jump!". By the way, according to experts, the Indian Vedas (according to which they learned to fly before) contain very valuable information about levitation, downright instructions for use. Unfortunately, in recent years, knowledge of the ancient Indian language has been completely lost, so it is impossible to plausibly translate this priceless nonsense.

If in the East people flew in the process of meditation and in order to take the most comfortable position for her, then in the West everything was different. No, people here also flew everywhere, but more by accident than intentionally. What was worth only St. Teresa! 230 priests gasped as one when they saw her flying during prayer. Moreover, Teresa herself at that time prayed intensely just that the Lord would deprive her of this mercy and stop causing inconvenience with her ascension.

But the Franciscan monk Joseph of Copertino did not disturb the Lord with trifling requests. He simply fell into religious ecstasy during prayer, rose into the air and flew up to the altar. According to one of the testimonies, he did this by uttering piercing cries. Once this incident happened during an audience with the pope himself, who decided that this action confuses the faithful, and the monk was transferred to a remote monastery. But the confused believers found Joseph and demanded more. It was the turn of another distant monastery. Then the third ... Crowds of fans migrated after him, until he finally died in 1663.

Especially people flew a lot in the Middle Ages. But, as a rule, they could not fly away from the fire of the Inquisition, and therefore they did not leave any special evidence of their miraculous gift. By the way, then, in order to be considered a levitant, it was enough not to drown in water and weigh below normal. By the 19th century, people finally learned how to make money from levitation. And then all and sundry flew in. The well-known medium Daniel Douglas Home stood out in this flock. He flew from one window to another, rose to the ceiling and in general was one of the main newsmakers of that time. Thousands of onlookers (including Emperor Napoleon III, Mark Twain and Thackeray) could not find either the threads by which Home was suspended, or the motors in his boots. People grabbed the legs of the floating Daniel, but this did not return him to the ground. Even physicists and spiritualists, no matter how hard they tried, could not expose the competitor. The glorious tradition of Home in the 20th century was continued by the Englishman Maurice Wilson, who trained according to the method of yogis. In 1934 he conquered Everest. More precisely, he tried to conquer. Maurice decided to take off with huge leaps to get to the top of the mountain without any equipment. Not surprisingly, his frozen body was not discovered until the next year. As it turned out, he did not reach the top, but he did some way, which he could be proud of if he had survived. Under the leadership of an Indian guru, the Beatles tried to take off. Successfully, according to Boris Grebenshchikov, his violinist Andrei Surodtinov was engaged in levitation. But it's not just the stars that float. Flyer Dmitry Bilibin lives in Petrozavodsk. Most recently, he flew to Mars, and the Martians revealed to him the main principle of levitation - to fly, you just need to take it and take off. Petrozavodsk newspapers are delighted, you and I also have something to think about.

Levitation is a matter of the elite. But no! Everyone can fly. In the middle of the 20th century, a certain physicist, who for some reason remained in history under the name of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, began to preach the science of the creative mind. The Maharishi's mind was so creative that he decided that you could take off if you turned off your consciousness and connected to the universal mind. It is not known how the Maharishi's attempts ended, but the very idea of ​​​​eliminating levitational illiteracy came to the court. American Helen Musdell, head of the Center for Personal Development, quickly developed her own training system. The main place in it was occupied by jumping from a high springboard into the water. The students each time had to jump longer and longer, as if holding their body in the air. In a word, Munchausen is resting! Following the Helen Center in the United States, a number of levitation schools appeared. They all go to flying through yoga and meditation. Some also claim that a person can fly only when he believes in it. The Mongols also did not remain unreached. For only $100, they are taught to fly by Andrey Gapon, a representative of the Maharishi University. After a month of classes, he promises, any Mongol will become a bird. The main thing is to achieve a sense of detachment.

Curiously, in laboratory conditions, people fly worse. It can be said that they do not fly at all. Thus, Dr. August Stern, a Soviet physicist who once emigrated to the West, assured everyone that he had studied levitation in the Novosibirsk Akademgorodok. The producer of NBC, having learned about this juicy detail of the scientist's biography, seemed to have gone crazy. He began to pursue the poor doctor and demand to repeat the experiments. A special mirror room was created with an air mattress covered in reflective material and riddled with pressure sensors. Stern lay down on the mattress and... didn't fly. The only thing that the sensors managed to fix was that Stern's weight suddenly decreased by 1 kilogram. And then it increased again. But you can't call it a flight ...

In general, the relationship between levitation and science is complex and unpredictable. For example, Alexander Dubrov, Doctor of Biological Sciences, believes that levitation occurs as a result of the appearance of a biogravitational field created by a special mental energy emitted by the brain. As you can imagine, it's hard to argue with him.

Another version: a person can levitate by learning to control the rhythms of his body. Like, our body and the surrounding space are in a state of balance of rhythms. And if, for example, you change the rhythms of your body (just don't ask how to do it), then the world will adjust to you. Didn't understand anything? I can reassure you with one thing - as another proof of the possibility of levitation, the same author cites the fact of the existence of aliens. Like, if they can overcome gravity, then why can't we? Why are we worse?

You can go to Tibet, you can go to the USA, you can just pay a hundred dollars a month, but there is a way to take off cheaper. More precisely, not to take off, but to convince everyone that you can take to the air. So, you enter a trance, collect 5 rubles from the audience in this state and stand on the scales with your socks to the center, your heels to the edge. Mutter a mantra under your breath, and then imperceptibly transfer the weight from your socks to your heels, and - lo and behold! - 10-15 kg as it never happened. By the way, using the same method, you can sell express weight loss products. But we didn't tell you that...

Telepathy. telepathic abilities. The development of telepathy.

TELEPATHY (from telos - "far away", pathos - feeling) is the transmission and reception of information directly from the brain of a person or animal. As a result of the research, it turned out that about 10-15% of the people who were involved in them have the ability to receive information from the brain of a person they know well, no matter how far apart they are from each other. In addition, up to 70% of study participants are able to do this with a probability of about 0.5. However, the substances that are responsible for shielding such information exchange could not be found. Very few people can transmit information to the brain of another person or animal, so this ability is most likely the result of genetic abnormalities.

Thanks to the ability to telepathy, a small group of gifted people can confuse others into believing that the telepath is really, for example, a fortune teller or fortune teller. Telepaths can intentionally or unconsciously receive information directly from the human brain, but not from the future at all. It is believed that telepathy occurs due to the action of some fields. Namely, a hypothesis has been put forward that the cause of telepathy lies in the ultra-low-frequency radiation of the cells of the human body (animal). According to another assumption, telepathy is a manifestation of torsion or chronal fields.

As a result of the experiments, it was found that a telepathic way of communication is possible for people who speak different languages, since understanding in this case does not consist of a common vocabulary. For example, the following incident happened to one psychic. With the help of telepathy, he gave certain actions to five Englishmen, and each performed exactly his own action. Then he asked them to come up with a question, but not to say these questions, and then he himself said the answer to each question.

As evidenced by numerous stories of people who have had face-to-face and correspondence contacts with aliens, it is known that they most often (almost 100% of all correspondence "telepathic" and about 50% of all face-to-face contacts) contact people through telepathic communication. There are many examples of such communication.

The study of telepathy

Probably, many of us have observed the manifestation of one form or another of telepathic abilities. For example, such a situation: you are doing something or just sitting or lying down, and suddenly something inside tells you to call this person (for example, a friend whom you have not seen for a long time). You dial a number, a friend picks up the phone and says: "And I just thought about you! I wanted to call myself! Well, wow! Just like telepathy!" Or another situation: quite unexpectedly, an image of a distant relative appears in your head, whom you last saw twenty years ago. After some time, the doorbell rings, you open it and see it in front of you. Well, after that, how can one not believe that telepathy really exists?

Not only ordinary people who do not have a higher technical education, but also many scientists believe that telepathy, in other words, the transmission of thoughts at a distance, exists. Nevertheless, all the rest (a larger group) firmly believe that there is no telepathy and cannot be. Whom to believe? Whose point of view to take?

Systematic research on telepathy began in 1882 in Great Britain. The researchers took the matter very seriously. Professor of ethics at the University of Cambridge G. Sidzhwick, chemist W. Crooks, physicists W. Barrett and O. Lodge, biologist A. Wallace and mathematician A. Morgan were studying such a phenomenon as telepathy. The object of research was the young telepath Smith and his assistant Blackburn. During 1882-1884. they successfully showed their telepathic abilities. Unfortunately, they turned out to be hoaxers. After many years, Blackburn admitted that young people simply played a cruel joke on scientists. In 1911, he wrote a letter to a newspaper, where he confessed: “All the so-called experiments were and arose from the disinterested desire of two young people to demonstrate how easily scientists who are eager to prove a theory can be fooled around the finger.

If it took two youths a week to prepare to deceive such experienced and attentive observers, how can future prospectors count on great success in exposing "sensitivities" who have been practicing for more years than they and Smith had weeks.

It would seem that such confessions should have forever turned away from conducting experiments on telepathy. However, this did not happen, and the scientists hurried to continue their experiments.

Telepathy organ

This area is located in the region of the crown, it is often called the "third eye". Our well-known psychics Ninel Kulagina and Mikhail Kuzmenko conducted an unusual experiment more than once, - says Vitaly PRAVDIVTSEV, the author of the discovery, a cybernetician, candidate of technical sciences in the field of artificial intelligence. The experience was as follows: when a photographic film, lying in an opaque envelope, was applied to their foreheads, the ordered images could be seen on it.

It turns out that some people have the ability to radiate the so-called mental images from the forehead. This is confirmed by the ancient Eastern traditions, according to which the radiation comes from the human energy centers - the chakras, one of which is the ajna chakra. It was her esotericists who from ancient times called the “third eye”. The image of the "third eye" on the forehead of deities can often be seen in the paintings and sculptures of Buddhist temples. Some scientists believe that this is the memory of the extraterrestrial progenitors of mankind (gods).

As the legends said, thanks to the all-seeing eye, they had such amazing abilities as clairvoyance, telepathy and telekinesis. Nowadays, some people, mostly Buddhists, are trying to regain their once lost "divine" abilities by spending years in intense spiritual work. But in the end, these people really reveal their paranormal abilities.

The "third eye" with the lens, photoreceptors and nerve cells is laid in a two-month-old fetus, after which it resolves. But instead of it, the epiphysis remains - the pineal gland, the size of a red-brown pea, located in front of the cerebellum. Specialists notice a striking thing: the pineal gland is mobile and can rotate like an eye. Moreover, they note that there is a direct similarity of the pineal gland with the eyeball, since it also has a lens and receptors for the perception of colors. In addition, it is said that this gland is stimulated to activity by signals coming from the eyes.

According to some biologists, due to centuries of inactivity, the pineal gland has become much smaller in size, and once it was the size of a large cherry. “Perhaps someday its size will become the same,” suggests Pravdivtsev. - And then our descendants will regain their once lost psychic abilities.

Scientists have created a device that makes it possible to transmit thoughts over a distance. But telepathy has absolutely nothing to do with it. An invention called "mental typewriter" (mental typewriter) attracted everyone's attention at an exhibition of new developments in the field of electronics, held not so long ago in Hannover.

Developers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Architecture and Software and doctors from the Charite Clinic (Berlin), under the guidance of Professor Klaus-Robert Müller and Gabriel Curio, have been developing the Brain Computer Interface system for many years. They are convinced that a computer that can be controlled with the help of thought will allow people who are deprived of the ability to fully move, maintain contact with the outside world and serve themselves on their own.

Even if a person is injured or ill and cannot move at all, his brain continues to work. Perceiving information, the brain produces electromagnetic signals that can be recorded. This is the principle of operation of the new device presented at the exhibition: 128 sensors are fixed on the head of a person, in front of him there is a monitor, on which two groups of letters are located on the right and left. A device that transmits thoughts over a distance is able to recognize letters in three stages. He selects one or another group of letters, and a special program filters out the electrical signals that appear when choosing. The selected group of letters remains, the computer removes the other from the screen. Soon, the groups of letters become smaller and smaller, until the operator mentally moves the cursor closer to the desired letter. This letter is entered in a specially designated line.

It takes 5 to 10 minutes to type a short phrase. The system is capable of self-learning, it determines the "palettes" of signals individually for a particular person. Similar work is underway in the US and Russia. Developers from the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, headed by Academician Igor Shevelev, Head of the Laboratory of Physiology of Sensory Systems, achieved a similar result almost at the same time as German scientists: their subjects manage to type words consisting of three or four letters with the help of thought.
