    Bend Mind Power
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the concept of using "mind power" to manipulate physical objects, such as bending spoons, and explores the potential hidden abilities of the human brain. Participants express skepticism about the feasibility of telekinesis, suggesting that such feats are likely illusions or tricks rather than genuine capabilities. The conversation touches on the idea of brain waves and empathy, with some arguing that understanding others' emotions is more about interpreting body language than any mystical brain function. There is a debate about the extent of human brain usage, with claims that people only use a fraction of their brain capacity being dismissed as urban legends. The topic of remote viewing is also mentioned, with participants questioning its validity and the lack of controlled experiments demonstrating its effectiveness. Overall, the discussion highlights both fascination and skepticism regarding the powers attributed to the mind, emphasizing the need for empirical evidence to support such claims.

we use only fifteen percent of our brain as some may know please don't sceptisize on that tidbit but maybe we do have a form of brain power which we have not been able to acess due to worldly activitys like stress

First of all..Anything a living being doesn't use slowly dissappears..So i am not really a believer of we are using %blabla of our brains..Well of course if you don't believe in evolution that's something else..


By the way if one could do something only using brainwaves and its hidden within our brains then,


- Why is this power is hidden?
- Why there are no animals using this mind power instinctively?
- Why 3-5 years old children who have no logical bound to the world aren't able to use it..Even by mistake?

I have never seen a controlled experiment that worked - less on TV shows which obviously can't be trusted.

Here is some prior discussion:

Ive experienced the non-local nature of consciousness so to me it's self evident, i don't need it provng to me.
However taking a purely empirical approach i imagine there's a lot of evidence out there, in particular i seem to remember there being a group of experiments conducted to see if someone can tell if they are being observed without seeing the observer, apparent they can, and they can also tell when they are being observed even when its by remote camera.
Cant find any links on this sadly, prehaps you know the experiments I am talking about though..nature magazine has done a few articles on these experiments in the past.

That's an urban legend.
