Are there really people who can move things with their minds?

James Randi is offering a prize of over 1,000,000 $US for anyone who can prove psychic powers in a controlled experiment.  \n\nCan you think of anyone who could do telekinesis who couldn't use a million dollars?  \n\nMe neither.

I don't know what you mean by abilities. \nMoving things without touching them is called Telekinesis, and while I'm sure there are witches who can also do it, it's not a witch thing. You can't change the shape of something, or stop time or make the sun and the moon run backward or anything, but we, I mean, myself and the other witches with whom I associate can, and have healed others, and also made them sick, caused and cured insanity, increased and decreased fertility in plants, animals and humans, and caused various machines to act wacky. I have personally caused nymphomania, impotence and car trouble, though not always on purpose. Many of us are able to communicate with animals, and we are also able to communicate with each other without the use of a telephone. \n\nEx. My boyfriend lives 600 miles from me, and we are able to enter each other's dreams, feel each other's emotions and communicate with each other telepathically. I made a charm to aid us in doing so and we each carry it always, but we probably don't need it.\n\nLet's see... shapeshifting is a skill some of us have, but it's not what you think. It's more of a glamour. Astral projection is a simple feat, travelling in spirit form, entering people's dreams, spying on them, etc. Channelling spirits is also pretty easy, if you let it happen. In both cases it's a matter of allowing it to happen and not freaking out.\n\nYou can't turn someone into a toad, but a very skilled witch can make someone think they're a toad or give someone a toadish aura, if that makes sense to you. You can't defy the laws of physics, just can't be done. \n\nAnyone can learn to do these things. These are innate abilities, like speech that are easily learnable. However, much like speech, if you are discouraged from doing it as a child, or never learn it, the older you get, the harder it is.

yes ... unless you manage to move in a certain direction at a very accurately calculated certain speed.

Yes, persons who are good at organizing and leading are generally control freaks.  Or to put it more kindly, they have an ability to control the actions of others.  This is necessarily true.\n\nControl takes many forms, however.  Some are adept at propaganda, and persuade their organization to go along with their plans.  Some are adept at bribery and blackmail.  Others have genuinely good plans and are talented at presenting them in a persuasive way.  Even a person who does not like to control others, or is philosophically opposed to controlling others, may have that sort of skill.  \n\nMy example is a leader in the Libertarian Party.  Dr. Mary Ruwart knows that the party is composed of rather cussed individualists.  But her arguments are marvelously persuasive because she researchs carefully and states things in a sufficiently direct and simple form that it is extremely hard to disagree with her.

I would like to believe so, yes.  I'm not talking about like Superman and all the rest of the kiddies programs, but I am talking about things like telekinesis, telepathy, "seeing dead people" :-), bending spoons, clairvoyance and all the rest of the ones which have actually been proven.  A woman's sixth sense?  Most definitely (I follow mine and have not yet been wrong)!

Only people with a mind of their own can do that.

To me, A person's success lies on their ability to be persistant, believe in themselves and don't give up when others say they can't do something. When someone says, "You can't do that!" It makes me even more determined to do whatever it is I wanted to do!

Yes, it is possible, and I understand you worry. However, some people have to be alone to realize their purpose is not human company, they might need to learn more about themselves and without the dsitraction of significant people, one is more likely to concentrate on self awareness.\nIt is alright to be worried, the important thing is your conclusions from this worry, what you do with. If you decide to learn from not having anyone indispensable, you will make it an advantage instead of a problem it seems to be.

That's not true.  That's actually a big misconception.  Humans use 100% of their brain.  Even something as simple as scratching your head uses a large percentage of your brain. "When you make a movement, say with your left arm, you unconsciously plan that movement and you are unaware of this planning stage. To make a single voluntary movement, the frontal cortex, basal ganglia, thalamus, and premotor cortex are involved. And this is just for one movement. If you factor in everything else that we do at one time, like searching for certain items, listening to and comprehending speech, thinking and planning, memory consolidation, etc., then really, we are doing quite a lot with our brains."\n\nhttp://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/tenper.html\nhttp://www.snopes.com/science/stats/10percnt.htm\nhttp://skeptico.blogs.com/skeptico/2006/03/only_have_10_of.html\nhttp://www.mercola.com/2004/oct/30/brain_use.htm\nhttp://www.brain-fx.com/2005/11/do_we_really_on.html\nhttp://www.alternativescience.com/no_brainer.htm\nhttp://www.abc.net.au/science/k2/moments/s1090374.htm

Send me $10,000 and I will tell you how to do it. Seriously; don't you think that if this were really possible that people would be doing it all the time? Don't listen to these imbeciles. NOT ONE of several self proclaimed mentalists has EVER passed scientific scrutiny including the modern father of the movement Uri Gellar.

yes, its not that hard to beleive if you think about your mind controlling your breathing and heart beat, this you cant really think about but its there.

If you have the 'will' to do something than you will find the 'way' in which to do it. It's quite simple to explain, but depending on the situation, can be quite difficult to achieve.

Many people with cerebral palsy are very intelligent.  It's just that the condition, which effects speech and other motor functions, may cause them to appear to be mentally handicapped.
