telekinesis (TK):  The ability to cause at a distance by cerebral-generated motive power the movement or control of matter or energy, inclusively or exclusively, solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, subparticles of atoms, particles or molecules of matter, or particles or waves of energy. "Motive power" refers to an emission or projection from the brain-mind that acts upon or interacts with the atoms of a distant object causing an effect of repulsion, attraction, stasis, lift, or disintegration.

telekinetic:  1.  Of or pertaining to telekinesis.  2. An individual who possesses the ability of telekinesis. Alternate names:

• TKer: telekinesis practitioner or performer.
• TK subject: a person, animal, etc., that takes part in a telekinesis experiment; a test subject.
• TK agent: someone regarded as the source of telekinetic ability, as in an experiment or in a spontaneous telekinesis case.
• TK claimant: someone who asserts that they have, may have, or at one time had the ability.
• TK target: The intended receiving point or focusing area of telekinetic energy.

From what I have learned in my research, whether willfully intended or occurring spontaneously, the subconscious mind plays a role in triggering the effect. Other parapsychological and paraphysics researchers have also proposed this relationship, especially in spontaneous cases, and brain-mind researchers have found that the subconscious is very active on its own.

In my hypothesis,  ¹ I propose that circulating iron in the blood near magnetite  ² deposits in the brain may be involved in the creation of the energy that initiates the telekinetic effect in conjunction with the conscious, preconscious, or subconscious mind. Medical researchers have already speculated that iron delivered to the brain could fuel the formation of magnetic magnetite particles,  ^{3   4} which, in my hypothesis I propose could play a role in psychic power functioning in certain individuals, perhaps because the magnetite deposits are located in just the right place and quantity in the brain. Also involved could be blood vessels in the brain in just the right formation or place to assist in the process. Certain individuals who are going through an evolutionary transitional process may be genetically prone to safely exist with both increased iron levels in the blood and brain and a high concentration of magnetite in the brain. If iron levels drop significantly in the brain over an extended period opf time, as happened in my case (see blood test evidence), then possibly the magnetite deposits could degrade to the point of decreasing or stopping the ability. This is my current hypothesis—a proposed scientific answer to the mystery. I am not stating it as scientific fact. More research and testing needs to be done. I am revealing some of my research here, but I am not making public everything I know for proprietary reasons. Effect levels: micro TK, macro TK.

Nobel Prize Winner Says Psychokinesis is Possible "In their paper Biological Utilization of Quantum Nonlocality, published in Foundations in Physics in 1991, [Nobel Prize winning physicist] Brian Josephson and Fotini Pallikara-Viras cautiously floated the idea of the phenomenon of quantum entanglement, which Einstein famously dismissed as 'spooky action at a distance' as a possible mechanism for telepathy [and psychokinesis]. ... In brief, Josephson and Pallikari-Viras say that it is not impossible that the existence of 'remote influences' suggested by quantum theory (where say, the quantum state of an object like an electron or photon, say, its spin or polarization, may correlate over arbitrarily large distances after they have been split apart) may indicate that the same effect could lie behind the direct connection of minds (telepathy) and between mind and matter (telekinesis)." [The physicists use the word "psychokinesis" three times in their research paper.]       — 10 Questions Science Can't Answer (Yet), Michael Hanlon, 2007, pp. 165-166, Macmillan, New York, 978-0-230-51758-5.

psychokinesis (PK):  The ability to cause at a distance or by physical touch using the mind's consciously or subconsciously activated will power or imagination the extraordinarily profound movement or manipulation of matter, energy, or events. Psychokinesis is the general term that includes telekinesis and other supermind control of matter and energy abilities, such as the ability to soften or bend metal, phase through matter, heal, etc. Effect levels: micro PK, macro PK, RSPK (recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis).

psychokinetic:  1.  Of or pertaining to psychokinesis.  2. An individual who possesses the ability of psychokinesis. Alternate names: PKer: psychokinesis practitioner or performer. PK subject: a person, animal, etc., that takes part in a psychokinesis experiment; a test subject. PK agent: someone regarded as the source of psychokinetic ability, as in an experiment or in a spontaneous psychokinesis case. PK claimant: someone who asserts that they have, may have, or at one time had one of the specialty abilities of psychokinesis, such as telekinesis; see the Wikipedia article on psychokinesis for a list of psychokinetic specialties. PK target: the intended receiving point or focusing area of psychokinetic energy.

It is apparent, however, that the energy in its earliest form is able to safely pass through the originating source of the brain, skull, eyes, skin, etc. Japanese scientists have already proven with the invention of the MEG machine) that, in everyone, low-level magnetic energy fields are emitted by the brain through the skull into open space at various points around the head and can be measured, so it is possible for energy, other than normal thermal energy, to pass through the skull. Teleportation has also been successfully demonstrated and repeated by physicists in the laboratory, but not yet by psychic means.

CONTROVERSY: "Mind-Matter Interaction" vs "Psychokinesis" January 21, 2011 mind-matter interaction (MMI):  A term advanced by some English-language parapsychologists 5 6 and parapsychological organizations 7 8 9 as a replacement term for psychokinesis, a term they now consider obsolete, along with "paranormal" and "telekinesis," in which it is proposed—if the word "interaction" is being used literally—that the mind can not only have an effect on matter directly at a distance without any intervening steps, but that matter itself can have an effect on the mind directly at a distance also without any intervening steps (bypassing the brain) because perhaps matter possesses a level of consciousness or a mental property (see also panpsychism, Dualism: philosophy of mind, property dualism, Interactionism (philosophy of mind), Problem of mental causation, Quantum mind-body problem, Consciousness and the Physical World [text of book by Douglas M. Stokes that impartially discusses the many theories of psi.]). James A. Conrad comments on the controversy: Mind-matter "interaction," if the term with the word "interaction" is taken literally, is just one hypothesis or theory of psychokinesis. Other hypotheses and theories propose that the mind only "acts" upon matter in one direction at a distance to cause movement. Officially replacing the term "psychokinesis" with "mind-matter interaction" would have to mean that all other hypotheses and theories of psychokinesis have been proven false, which is definitely not the case. For example, suppose psychokinesis involves mental control of the collapse of a probability wavefunction into a favorable universe each time a successful PK event occurs? Suppose PK involves mental contact with a dimensional entity of some kind, which then moves an object (one of the theories in poltergeist research)? There is of course mind-matter interaction within the human body at the quantum level of the brain, but PK is about causing movement in matter outside the body. As a private research-and-development (R&D) researcher, and as someone with dictionary writing experience, I personally will not use the term "mind-matter interaction" based on the evidence offered thus far by parapsychologists for "interaction" because in my experiences with telekinesis I never experienced any sense that matter apart from my local brain matter was able to communicate with my mind or otherwise affect my thoughts directly. Sometimes people misuse the word "interaction" when they really mean "action." In the end, it will be those who can actually do psychokinesis and telekinesis who will decide what term they want to call it: they will have naming rights. Here is how the opening of Stephen King's 1974 novel Carrie reads: "What none of them knew, of course, was that Carrie White was a telekinetic." What brave or foolish parapsychologist of the future would tell a real-life Carrie that she must conform to American parapsychological terminolgy and call herself a mind-matter interactor to be taken seriously? Perhaps another explanation that should be considered for the asserted change is that "mind-matter interaction" is a better phrase than psychokinesis to market products by some of these same American researchers. 10 11 Also, since mind-matter interaction technically does occur if the term refers to brain matter, any skeptic who states generally "I don't believe in mind-matter interaction" or "There is no convincing evidence for mind-matter interaction" would seem incompetent. Telekinesis is a word understood and used popularly by the general public around the world, which bothers many modern parapsychologists because they are only able to offer less appealing statistical evidence derived from large numbers of quantum-level random-number generator experiments as alleged proof of PK. To further their research paper positions in favor of statistical evidence, they long ago declared "telekinesis" to be an obsolete term and now are seeking the same fate for "psychokinesis," to be replaced by the questionable "mind-matter interaction." Poster for the film The Medusa Touch (1978, ITC/ITV plc, Warner Bros). DVD My concern is the potential for grammatical misuse of the word "interaction" when what is usually being discussed is just "action." See if you notice that misuse when you encounter the term. My advice is to not allow parapsychologists and their organizations who might have underlying commercial motives to decide what terms you as a researcher or claimant should officially use. Think "outside the box." If you have the extraordinary proof mainstream science has been waiting for, you will have earned naming rights. I admit I am a populist researcher, am not afraid to use the term "telekinesis," and will not seek or need the endorsement of parapsychology to prove any future claim. I was a member of a skeptics organization for 15 years. Perhaps you should consider joining and "interacting" with a skeptics organization if you ever have convincing evidence of a psychic power that they could examine.

star performer:  A term used by some psychic power researchers to refer to someone who can demonstrate a relatively higher level of psychic power ability consistently in experiments. First use possibly in the 1937 issue of Harper's magazine, Volume 174 (available on books.google.com)

cerebral energy physics (CEP):  A branch of physics that studies electrical, electromagnetic, etc., energy produced by natural physiological processes in the brain. (term coined by James A. Conrad June 16, 2003 to describe own research)

advanced cerebral energy physics (ACEP):   A specialized research area of cerebral energy physics that studies mind-brain energy activities and emissions in an attempt to detect and create higher levels of energy that can be controlled by the subject. In layman's terms, it is the study of psychokinesis, telekinesis, telepathy, and other reported and hypothesized high-level brain energy functions. (term coined by James A. Conrad June 16, 2003 to describe own research)

paraphysics:  A branch of physics that studies paranormal phenomena in an attempt to discover and replicate the physical laws behind such events. The term is controversial and not fully accepted by skeptical mainstream physicists.

Homo sapiens kinesis:   My proposed taxonomic name for a new subspecies of human whose members have psychokinetic abilities, if said population group were to be distinct enough from the nominate subspecies Homo sapiens sapiens to qualify as a new branch in the human family tree, eventually becoming Homo kinesis.

Experiments on living targets. Two types of plants that I experimented unsuccessfully with in the early 1990s were the Sensitive Plant and the Venus Fly Trap. These plants require a higher and sudden level of telekinetic or psychokinetic ability to cause a reaction—their leaves fold inward when touched lightly. If the applied force is similar to a gentle breeze or an agitation of the air from an insect flying very near it, they will not respond. But they are very interesting living test instruments in that they provide a macro visual response to an external stimulus and are easy to control in a laboratory setting. They are not micro TK detectors. They are living macro telekinesis detectors that will trigger at a minimum macro level of power; that is, at a power level that can produce an effect observable without the need for optical magnification or magnification by an electronic instrument.

Hands and No-Hands Telekinesis. If an arm and hand are held out, energy generated in the brain could hypothetically by some means not yet fully understood accumulate along the body and discharge in that way. We do know that the hand can act as a discharge point for static electricity. Perhaps the brain in some evolutionarily advanced individuals can generate an unusually strong energy field that is then carried to the outer surface of the body and discharged in the nearest straight line to a target. In Hollywood movies, however, the use of a hand in telekinesis and other forms of PK is often done for dramatic purposes so that the audience can understand which character is the source of the ability and where it is being targeted. In real life, telekinesis has also been reported without the use of hands and that is the method tested in my laboratory. Below are examples of telekinesis and psychokinesis in fiction.

"There's something's different about you today... Too much iron in the blood." Actor Ian McKellen as Magneto in X2: X-Men United (2003, 20th Century Fox). DVD Blu-ray Netflix

In the above photograph from the movie X2: X-Men United, the fictional character Magneto is able to psychokinetically generate and regulate the strength and placement of magnetic fields, and in so doing, control the movement of objects affected by them. Objects that are more easily magnetized, such as those containing proportionately large amounts of iron, are subject to greater control of movement by his ability. He is able to levitate himself through a more energy-consuming process called diamagnetic levitation. In this scene, the blood of the guard (actor Ty Olsson) had been secretly enhanced the night before with an injected magnetic solution (ostensibly involving iron, possibly a standard paramagnetic contrasting agent used in medical MRI scanning or one containing ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide) while unconscious by Magneto's accomplice Mystique, making him easier to control the next day by Magneto's magnetic mental power when he entered his plastic prison cell. However, one could wonder how the guard was able to pass through the facility's metal detector when he arrived for work that morning (perhaps Mystique had deactivated it).

Iron in the body. Normally, circulating and stored iron in the body is only extemely weakly magnetizable because of the way it is paired with other atoms in chemical compounds. However, the situation changes in individuals with iron overload disease. Those afflicted can be unaware that they have so much excess iron in their body that they can set off a walk-through metal detector. Excess iron in the body shows up as dark areas on a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. (For a little more information on excess body iron and metal detectors see the book The Iron Disorders Institute Guide to Hemochromatosis, 2004.) and for research on how the brain regulates iron, including how the blood-brain barrier may prevent sudden excess iron from reaching the brain, see the work of American scientist James Connor  ¹². See also the research work of American scientist Thomas C. Skalak on the effect of magnetism on blood vessels in rats  ¹³.)

It may be and it is my current position that, due to increasingly stressful conditions in the industrialized world, where iron deficiency is not a significant problem, an evolutionary transition is taking place and some humans have acquired or were born with the ability to cope with higher iron levels in the brain than those who are less protected. There are those can smoke cigarettes their entire adult life and live past 100 (I have never smoked). Some parapsychologists and paraphysics researchers believe that everyone has psychokinetic ability, even at just a very low level. I prefer to believe, however, in support of my hypothesis, that since 3.5 billion of the world's population is iron deficient  ¹⁴, making it the most common nutritional deficiency on Earth  ¹⁵, that psychokinesis is presenting itself here and there in certain individuals—evolution at work. In my research work, I neither had iron overload disease or iron deficiency, just a higher level of iron in my system still within a normal acceptable range depending on the lab doing the test (see blood test evidence).

"Portrait of a man who thinks and thereby gets things done."         "Mr. Jimbo Cobb might be called a 'prime mover'—a talent which has to be seen to be believed. In just a moment, he'll show his friend, and you, how he keeps both feet on the ground and his head . . . in the Twilight Zone." — Rod Serling, in his introduction to the 1961 Twilight Zone episode "The Prime Mover" (1961, CBS, Inc.). In the opening scene above, the fictional character Ace Larson (Dane Clark) watches in astonishment as his friend Jimbo Cobb (Buddy Ebsen) reveals a surprising superhuman ability as he uses no-hands telekinesis to slowly flip over an automobile with passengers inside that was just in an accident outside their roadside diner. Later in the story, he regretfully uses his telekinetic skills to help his friend win at gambling in Las Vegas. Closing narration (Serling): "Some people possess talent, others are possessed by it. When that happens, the talent becomes a curse. Jimbo Cobb knew, right from the beginning. But before Ace Larsen learned that simple truth, he had to take a short trip through . . . the Twilight Zone." DVD

Q: Is Psychokinesis permissible in Islam or not? "A: Our opinion on practicing arts like Telekinesis and Psychokinesis, etc, if they really exist, is that as long as it does not involve any haraam; e.g., Subjuing jins, shaitaani actions, witchcraft, etc., this in principle it could not be classified as haraam. However due of it being a huge waste of time and effort, one would not be advised to destroy his priceless time in this avenue, solely for the "kick". Yes, if it is possible for it to have social benefits (possible helping people by moving objects for them) or maybe for jihad by attacking the enemy through it, then it would be completely permissible."       — Fatwa issued by Mufti Ebrahim Desai, June 19, 2004, AskImam.org - Islamic Q & A Online Source 1: http://www.islam.tc/cgi-bin/askimam/ask.pl?q=11118&act=view Source 2: Do a Google search.

A real-life psychokinesis laboratory investigating micro-telekinesis

Telekinesis laboratory, April 28, 1999. A wide shot showing second monitor. Black card on pole at eye level provided a dark background while looking at silver piezo strip.

My website address www.jamesaconrad.com appears on the sign attached to the monitor and shelf. The floor of the laboratory was bare concrete to eliminate static electricity effects and the walls were bare also to make it easier for skeptical observers to search the room. I am standing four feet from the sensor in stocking feet. My 30-30-30 experiment protocol required the videorecording of 30 seconds of front comparison footage of the oscilloscope waveform, 30 seconds of telekinesis activation attempt, followed by 30 seconds of back comparison footage while standing motionless and breathing slowly. A disturbance in the waveform during the middle 30 second period would indicate that a possible effect had taken place. The experiment was repeated in numerous runs using the same protocol and the results examined by playing back the footage. The waveform is slightly bent at the high magnification setting used. I am watching the clock display on an offcamera Super-VHS video recorder count the first 30 seconds. Super-VHS video is now an obsolete format. Redesigning my lab setup today, of course, I would use state-of-the-art equipment.

Positive results of no-hands telekinesis at the micro level were consistently observed only in the middle 30 seconds of footage and from distances of up to 25-feet away (my test space limitation). The effect was repeatable enough that I regularly recorded over past experiments to save the cost of expensive S-VHS blank tapes. During this time of research I was experimenting with methods (mental and biological) to boost the ability to a more dramatic level before inviting in witnesses from the skeptics' organization to which I belonged. As you know, skeptics of the paranormal would prefer to consider evidence that is the most extraordinary possible. I directed my efforts toward that goal.

Unknown to me, however, also during this time, because of a vegetarian diet that I had begun on March 12, 1997 (the reason for which was also connected to my research), I was gradually losing the high iron levels in my body (45.8% loss of serum iron by October 1999). Due to the depletion of circulating and stored iron in my particular physiology, I hypothesize that I lost the ability to exert a mind-brain-generated influence on the hanging piezo film sensor and other targets without the use of hands and at a distance. It was the sudden failing of the ability that caused me to go back through my blood tests, discover the iron loss, and form my hypothesis. The human body absorbs iron more easily from meat sources, as opposed to from plant sources. For more on that topic, see the article "Iron We consume."

Confident that I had the luxury of time on my side with repeatable micro-telekinesis evidence, I opted to seek a level of "extraordinary proof" that would have approached the level of repeatable macro-telekinesis (observable with the unaided eye). Scientific research does not always work out as intended. I hope to resume my research again someday.

The telekinesis detector seen in the photographs on this page was so sensitive that the mere touch of a human hair on the piezo film would cause the waveform reading to go off the scale and bounce up and down wildly. The touch of a human hair is about 25,000 times lighter than the weight of a U.S. penny (I made a measurement comparison using a sensitive laboratory-grade digital balance). This truly was a micro telekinesis detector.

Caution Psychokinesis Laboratory sign Credit: James A. Conrad 7/7/2011

Note to potential funding sources (United States and international) I am seeking a research grant or a first-look deal to renew my psychokinesis research full time or, additionally or alternatively, a paid think-tank position. As long as the funding is legal, the country of origin or nationality of individuals involved is not an issue (except presently for North Korea and Iran). There are currently no U.S. Export Controls on the transfer of psychokinesis information.  16 That may change, which is why, if the subject of psychokinesis is of interest to you, it is important to be connected to an originating researcher source for breakthrough information. I am only fluent in the English language. In the 1980s I studied Russian very briefly (language of my deceased grandparents). I am not a member of any religion. I was a member of a skeptics organization for 15 years and still maintain a line of communication. Contact me in a manner you deem appropriate if you are interested. If I do not respond, try another method. I will respond to any contact if received and you provide a viable means to answer. It is suggested that a way to respond in writing (email or ground) be included. This web page does not reflect the extent of my knowledge and its entertaining presentation is intended primarily for general public consumption. — James A. Conrad
