Do you believe in mind over matter? Do you think some humans have the ability to move objects with their minds? (Telekinesis)
I think as humans we have much untapped potential that most don't realize. People can think themselves into getting sick, so wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that we could also accomplish the opposite?

There is going to be a problem with physics here. It takes a certain amount of energy to move an object. Though the mind does use electrical impulses, the power output isn't enough to move much. Mankind is learning more and more everyday.A day will come when a person's mind can be used as a switch to have other equipment do the work.

Yes,I think that all humans have unknown abilities of some sort or another, and in varying degrees of advancement. The problem is that it is dangerous to show these. Why? Because people as a whole have a negative attitude towards the unknown and quickly become hostile towards a gifted person. Magic is frowned upon by so many, yet trickery as in a stage show is applauded. We have double standards often without realizing it. Magic is simply an unknown action and cause - if we understood it, it would be science! Deep down, people fear mind readers in particular. So, doing unusual things with your mind will alienate you. In the past, witches were burned at the stake, and many people would do the same today if given the opportunity. Our minds are not open enough just yet for the paranormal.
