pyrokinesis, the ability to control, ignite and/or extinguish the fire using only the mind (source: Wikipedia). Stephen King’s Firestarter and Junko Aoki in the very good Japanese film “Pyrokinesis” both feature young women with the destructive power.
But has pyrokinesis or the ability to affect temperature by telekinesis been noted in scientific literature? Among the plethora of citations there are on TK research, I have not found any references to the ability to start fires, but temperature manipulation is well represented. Professor Georgy K. Gurtovoy and physicist Alexander Parkhomov conducted experiments to test the influence of TK on a microcalorimeter(1). In these trials, an individual or operator was to alter the microcalorimeter from a distance from 0.5 km away from the physical system to up to 4000 km distant, by exerting their will on the system. The researchers regarded a success event or “hit” on the microcalorimeter when a change greater than 10 mV (2 x 10-3 Celsius) was recorded. They demonstrated successful “hits” in six of eight trials when the operator was 4000 km away and twelve of eighteen when the operator was in Moscow (up to 20 km distant). The paper does not specify on the timing of the experiments, i.e. coordinating the time period when the operator was concentrating on affecting the system and the times when the “hits” were registered.
In the extensive and exhaustive research written by Robert G. Jahn and Brenda J. Dunne on the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) program(2) does not address temperature changes, but does focus on the manipulation of physical systems, such as random event generators (REG), which produce data streams of 200 binary digits per trial conforming precisely to a Gaussian representation. The results of such on page 199 of their work demonstrate that a prolific operator succeeded in shifting the mean of the outputs in the intended directions. The authors admit the effect was small but statistically significant, but the conclusions brought up a very important question: Could this same operator replicate the same results consistently? This question was answered in the affirmative based upon the data presented in the article of this operator’s cumulative results for the first decade of the PEAR program. The REG was described in an earlier work of Jahn at the beginning of the program(3).
William G. Braud in 1993 presented a paper(4) that culminated work of researchers that found similar results using REG’s. Braud also addresses the possibility of experimenter fraud in such cases by citing several examples of scientific literature that manage to rule out such scenarios.
It is interesting to note here that the results of the experiments only address the operators’ influence on the output of the REG’s but what is it that the operators are actually affecting? The REG used in Jahn’s experiments(3) is described in great technical detail, but again very little detail is given in the aspect of the REG the operators influence. The machine is generating noise in the megahertz range, but passes through a number of filters, with systems counting both positive and negative pulses, etc. The operator could have been affecting the system on a microscopic scale as described earlier in Jahn’s paper as a disturbance on the atomic level. In this case, it is an electrical system, meaning the operator is possibly manipulating the processes on the sub-atomic level, i.e. electrons. We can also consider pyrokinesis as the psionic ability at the atomic level, if we can define it as agitating molecules or particles of a substance to the point that combustion occurs.
Other work outside of the scope of this article has focused on the effect of telekinesis on the quantum level(4) and even affecting radioactive decay(5).
We have established now that the telekinetic-enabled mind can affect physical systems on the atomic and sub-atomic levels, manipulating temperature of materials and electricity or electron flow. Although the scientific literature I have read has not researched abilities to affect other systems such as humidity or pressure, two more essential factors for weather formation. If the temperature of solid matter can be affected by telekinesis, it would stand to reason that liquids and gases could also be susceptible to TK manipulation. With this ability one could create wind and possibly even rain. At this point, more research into meteorological systems is not in the near future. With the discontinuation of the PEAR program at Princeton this year, potential discoveries in this area may be delayed further since political pressure and the threat of ridicule from peers suppress new and serious forays into psychical research.
So could Jean Grey develop her power to rival Storm? Perhaps. It is within the realm of research but Ms. Grey has a lot of work and practice ahead of her. Storm has a big lead.
Bilocation is the capacity to exist simultaneously in two different places. Double May appear in physical shape or spectral, usually in an act or a little strange mechanical manner and does not answer when not spoken. Bilocation differs from l' experiment out of the body in a double physics and spiritual exists, which interacts with d' other people and d' objects and it is assisted by d' others, whereas l' experiment out of the body to the conscience to leave l' physical autonomy, without expressing a physical shape or spiritual visible entity. Although not very frequent, the phenomenon of bilocation was always recorded. It is pled to be tested, and in rare cases, to be practised by will, by gurus, mystics, saints, the monks, the followers of the magic. Several Christian saints and the monks were, seems to have known bilocation such as Padre Pio of l' Italy, Holy Antoine de Padoue, Saint-Ambroise of Milan and Saint-Severe of Ravenne. In 1774, pilot history of the accounts to describe Holy Alphonse Marie de' Ligouri appearing in the bedside of died of Clement XIV, whereas Saint-Alphonse was limited to a cell of prison in a five days place to far. In the mythology of the concept of Doppelganger double or l' implies; d' existence; a double evil. This idea seems parallel to the concept of bilocation. Doppelgangers would have been passed to the birth, l' child is well replaced by the evil. It is known as that if both should meet, they will perish. Bilocation is also a state d' spirit describes by certain experts of remote visualization. In this context, it is estimated that the remote spectator of l' attention or of sensitizing is divided into two so that half of l' attention of the conscious spectator is formed on a distant site, and l' another half is concentrated on l' immediate environment. Jeffry R. Palmer is l' well-known author several works relating to the subjects of metaphysics, the paranormaux phenomena and of psychic development. Its articles and of the columns were published in several popular international magazines. It specifies and detailed psychic forecasts, including l' hurricane Katrina and the tsunami indonésien collected l' d' attention; an international public.
If you already collected an object and knew a feeling or a feeling which you could not all explain, or, to perhaps even find thoughts d' another time or of floating place through your spirit, then you met a little psychometry. The term “psychometry” was invented by a scientist of the name of Joseph Rodes Buchanan in 1842. The word, in this context, the means “of measuring l' heart” d' an object. Parapsychologists aujourd' today qu' he is a form of retrocognition - the capacity of the conscience d' to observe the past. Psychometry, last regressions, and even of the tops or the cycles of Numerology can all be classified like forms of retrocognition. The practice of psychometry is based on l' idea that certain people are able to feel the vibrations of the objects and even people. These vibrations, in a general way, form d' part; a field in layers around l' object which is perceived May. It is generally easier to take l' influence emotive load of the vibrations, a knife in a business of murder May have a field stronger than the ordinary kitchen knife. If you think that can seem insane in consideration: have you to keep articles, a ring or a collar, d' a expensive being which passed? You feel a connection to your beloved when l' is handled; object? With a little practice you May to develop your capacity psychometric. The first stage is to slacken completely. Meditation, l' car hypnosis and the autogenic training are all great ways to start to learn how to release your body while making it possible your spirit to be concentrated and to concentrate without effort. After having learned how to completely slacken to test the following experiments.
Experiment 1
You in your state of relieving put and to place l' object which you wish psychometrize in your hand. It will contribute to May places l' another light hand on the top and cherishes it gently l' object. Allow you to note all the thought, images or feelings which come to you as you maintain l' object. Made that for 5 or 10 minutes and to note your impressions. At this stage, should not test d' to you; to interpret your impressions. The simple fact d' in taking note. You should spend time as much than you can on this experiment because it is a fundamental practice.
EXPERIMENT 2
For this test, you will need d' to borrow a d' object; a friend or d' a expensive being. Relaxed and to take possession of l' object. Leave you to open the objects of vibrations and to note all the impressions which you receive. Not to censure oneself. Check your impressions with the owner of l' object and note inaccuracies. Keep to practise jusqu' so that you find your opinion about l' exactitude of 80%. This May to take a certain time!
