Thread: Do you believe it's possible to move objects with your mind??

Well there was this one time when dont be so fucking stupid.

Do I think it is possible. Maybe. How little we know about ourselves and surroundings is unreal.

Have I ever seen it or done it. Whachou talkin bout willis?

Just be careful how you go about testing it.

Apparently we only use something like 20% of our brains. Or so they say.

If it is true, then who knows what wonders (or horrors) the rest holds....

Judging from the people I've talked to over the years, it's more like 10%.

Lawl!

No, I do not believe in psychic powers or telekinesis.

i wasn't sure about ghosts till i saw one. i still don't believe most of the people that tell me they saw one

i know my kids read my mind alot like i was napping with Ty on the couch when he was about 4. i woke up n was thinking i'd rather buy a truck than a car, something i hadn't mentioned at all. Tyler woke up and said "I want a blue truck" just as if we had been having a conversation. they do it so often it's not a fluke.

so yea there's more that's real than people will readily accept.

It's not possible to move objects with your mind.

I think it may be possible, but it depends on the object. And it would require a new level of thinking.

Why do you believe that?

dont suppose ya talk in ya sleep do ya pmsl

I kept trying that for about five years and then got myself a desk job. Now, I firmly believe that the only thing the mind can move is the body.

I believe there are things about the mind that we need to unlock, or potential that we may never tap into but it's all going to be speculation.

You guys ever watch that show TAPS about the ghost hunters? That's a fun show to watch a lot of times.

Ummmm ... more like 1%. Idiots rule the world right now ... and we elected them.

We use all of our brains, so we have no super power hidden in there to move stuff.

Don't undermine him. I wanted to feel special.

when tess was around 3 . i had talked to a neighbor who was telling me about a break in at another woman's apt. there is no way the kids could have heard us, they were yelling and screaming playing in a sprinkler 20 yards away. later that night laying in bed with Tess i picked up a glass decorative egg holding it up n admiring it like 100 other times. but i was thinking "this could probably brain a burgler" and Tess said "yea you could probably kill someone with that"

i'm 46, i've been married 3 times and tess has spent hundreds of hours in my room on the pc while i'm asleep. i think if i talked in my sleep i'd have been told so by now. n he was asleep too that day so if i had he'd have heard me in his sleep.

these are just two instances in many where i've seen evidence that people are capable of more than we think we are. i walked into an all guy poker game one night n with no idea why i said it... i said "that top card is the queen of hearts". it was. i called 7 numbers right in a casino in vegas one night, the last 4 i got number and color right on roulette. everyone started staring at me n i left. i wasn't betting n i was scared people would start betting on what i said. cuz it's something subconscious and when you put too much thought into it it slips away. our brains have tons of power we don't know how to, or we have forgotten how to, use.

That's cool.

I'm not a big sports fan, but one day I was at my grandparents house, and a basketball game was about to come on.
My grandpa asked who I thought would win. Just for fun I guessed who would win, what the total points for the game would be, and by how much of a margin the winner would be.

I got all 3 exactly right on.

that was like 4-5 years ago.

when i called my mom to tell her i was pregnant i told her "the dr says july 25th but i think it'll be august 2nd" i hadn't really even considered it at all and i forgot all about it but she wrote it down. my daughter was born august 2nd.

LW, that's called selective memory. We all seem to remember the remarkable but forget about all of the unremarkable.

And Iain, slow down. That 1% guesstimate of yours seems to really be shootin for the moon eh?

what's your point? that so many unremarkable things occur doesn't make the remarkable things any less amazing when they happen. and they do happen. you can either embrace the magic in life or frown at it n grumble but it's there.

That you remembered picking Aug 2 but fail to remember all the other insignificant wrongs.

Just because you got one right doesn't mean there's some mysterious force out there.
