If these things you claim are actually happening (whatever they are) aren't you interested to see how they connect to the grand scheme of things? Don't you realize the significance creating an unexpected repeatable experiment would have on the knowledge of humanity?

I spun a psi wheel last night and today.

I'd be extremely interested in telekinesis if it were true, and if you read any of my posts you'll know I have no a priori objections to it being true. I just don't see any good evidence and I see a lot of claimants being debunked, so for now I don't have any reason to believe it's true.

Why don't you try it?
To all the skeptics: What can you lose by just trying it?

I did try it, when I was like 12 and going through that phase. When the experiments were controlled properly nothing happened.

Why were you under the impression that I haven't tried? You've tried and you failed too. Why exactly were you expecting a different response?

@Xei: Sorry, I didn't know you had tried. Maybe you could try again. I've tried and succeeded. Before I started trying telekinesis, I made it clear to myself that I wanted to spin the wheel counter clockwise. When the wheel does spin, it spins counter clockwise probably 80% of the time.

To those people that know who they are: I don't appreciate rudeness; it's bumming me out. I'm just trying something new-- that's all. And it seems to be working btw. Be open-minded.

How did you spin the psi wheel? please outline your procedure, thanks

Well spoken. I second that.

I just hold it close to me and try to spin it. I visualize it spinning counter clockwise. It's hit and miss. I can't quite gauge what I am doing right mentally when it spins, because I don't feel like I'm doing anything differently than I was a second before it started spinning.

Before I start, I set it down and watch the psi wheel to make sure that a draft isn't affecting it. Then I begin.

I will try to make a video soon.

Telekinesis is like dreams. Hard, and you won't be successful at the first times. And so far no one managed to record that they are aware of their dreams and we still know lucid dreaming exists. Same with telekinesis. However there are fake vids indeed, not all of them are, and because you tried and did not succeed... of course you didn't, it takes really long time, and even if you manage to do it, nothing will make sure that you'll be able to do it again in front of a camera.

I don't care whether you believe in it or not, stop being against it all, if you don't like the subject, don't post.

Yes I do understand the significance, but I think for me personally that it's a waste of resources at this time to pursue. I'm more interested in what I can do rather than what I can prove.

It's not something you just try, honestly. It's pretty tricky. I've been meditating for a long time now and still have trouble. It takes me like 15 minutes before I can really manipulate it. The only reason I never gave up was because my friend could do it so I already had evidence.

Unfortunately youtube videos are not proof of anything. Some are easily debunked, others are not so easily debunked but just like UFO videos even a well done fake is still a fake.

Lucid dreaming has been proven in a controlled environment, so that isn't a very good comparison.

I meant there are no recorded videos of it.

Why do you think we 'don't like it'?. It's not us that's against it, it's just reality that's against it. There's no evidence it's real, and no, we won't stop telling you this just because you don't like how reality works.

Lucid dreaming was once considered a myth, like telekinesis.

The difference is that, despite the fact lucid dreaming is much harder to conclusively demonstrate in a controlled environment, it became an established scientific fact whilst telekinesis did not.

Ruminate on that for a while.

Pssst..its actually psychokinesis, I learned that from Akira

Whatever boats your float. I've heard it called psionics too.

Don't hold it, because obviously your hands are always moving/vibrating, no matter how still you think you are, and set a glass upside down over it so no air can move over it. If it turned at all under these constraints, I would be pretty surprised.

Holding it makes it way easier. I have to work myself up to that.

Meditation, it seems, is one of the greatest factors in getting telekinesis/psychokinesis/psionics to work. Last night, I meditated for thirty minutes and then proceeded to spin the psi wheel 50+ times--counter-clockwise.

Yet there is still no video. Not like a video on youtube would really prove anything, but at least it lends more credence to your claim than writing.

You just said a video wouldn't prove anything. Frankly I don't feel like trying to prove anything to someone that would just move the goal posts every time evidence is presented.

The point is that the utter lack of effort to prove that this phenomenon actually exists beyond simply proclaiming so speaks volumes about its validity.

Why does it speak volumes? It's just as easy for you to look up psi wheel videos on youtube and proclaim they're fakes as it is for me to post them here. You've already said you won't believe in a video so why does it matter whether or not I post one?

Besides, the thing is the fakes often look much better than the authentic ones because it's easier to fake a video than actually learn to manipulate qi. If they use a convector the psi wheel begins spinning immediately and consistently. If they use a switch you'll see it switching directions easily and again, moving immediately and consistently. The real ones involve a long period of time to get the wheel going and just as much time to get it to change directions, not to mention people doing it authentically tend to keep their fingers much closer to the wheel and use their hands because it's much easier to do when you send a hand signal. All sorts of excuses can be made for why they made them move.

So it comes down to the same question, you're claiming that an unwillingness to post evidence is strong evidence that it's BS, but then you already admitted you wouldn't believe the type of evidence you're asking for. So all I have to say... the fuck do you want?

You're putting words in my mouth. I never said I wouldn't believe a video, I was saying that a video doesn't exactly qualify as credible evidence; however, it's better than nothing. Not to mention the OP (not you, the actual original poster) said he'd post a video if he got it to work, and he still hasn't. Given the subject has been brought back up to him more than once to post the video, the only logical reason I can see for avoiding doing so is because he can't actually do it under controlled conditions.
