Psychokinesis

Psychokinesis (literally "mind-movement") or PK is the more commonly used term today for what in the past was known as telekinesis (literally "distant-movement"). It refers to the psi ability to influence the behavior of matter by mental intention (or possibly some other aspect of mental activity) alone. As of 2004 the term remote influencing is becoming widely used for certain kinds of psychokinesis.

Remote influencing

In recent years, the term remote influencing has become popular to describe the application of psychokinesis to biological systems. This may be to impact either positively or negatively upon health, alter mood, or influence decision making.

In a similar fashion, remote viewing has been applied to clairvoyance. These terms emerged from research undertaken by the American government, for the application of psychic abilities to intelligence gathering, military force, and remote assassination.

Some of the most detailed claims in this area are made in The Men Who Stare At Goats, written by Jon Ronson to accompany his British TV series The Crazy Rulers of the World.

According to Ronson, over 100 de-bleated goats were shipped to Fort Bragg, North Carolina along with a significant quantity of hamsters, to facilitate this research, and remote influencers were said to have stopped the hearts of goats and hamsters long enough to cause death.

The programs are generally said to be secret, making verification difficult. Incidents of illness in world figures, such as George W. Bush's loss of consciousness after choking on a pretzel in January, 2002, have been ascribed to psychic attacks. Many websites offer to sell courses that purportedly teach remote viewing and remote influencing.
