Telekinesis is here! Put on the headset, made by Emotiv Systems in San Francisco, and when a giant boulder blocks the path in a game you are playing, you can levitate it — not by something as crude as a keystroke, but just by concentrating on raising it, said Tan Le, Emotiv’s president. The headset captures electrical signals when you concentrate; then the computer processes these signals and pairs a screen action with them, like lifting a stone or repairing a falling bridge.

Moussed scalp holds contacts, Brain waves migrate to metal can, Moving paper captures ink tracks, EEG is for pathology scan. Imagine wi-fi headgear’s role In a detector-sender scene, Computer animation control Graphic objects on screen — Concentration’s the key, Like in “Foxfire” action flick, Think “move” and we see Object move — how slick! This gizmo is modern fact, It’s telekinesis, or some such, This brain-machine pact, And for future, offers much, For if we can move electrons With just a single thought, Thinking can move mountains — What faith has always sought. © 2008 R.

This is all very intriguing, Leland. It begs the question, what else may our faith be moving that we are little aware of? It also reminds me of essays I have read on the reality of the afterlife from the standpoint of particulate physics, that our ultimate state of being may be analogous to an electro-magnetic pattern. Concerning the faith references below, nothing makes sense as much to me as Jesus....Jerry

Considering what the mind is capable of, there are both hopeful and scary prospects for this technology, coming whether we need it or not.

An intriguing report in verse, that gives a lot of info in a small space. I like the twist at the end, and I can vouch for the fact that faith does move virtual mountains--the impossible situations in our lives that only God can change.

Buddist belief like Christian in this aspect - Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, 'Remove hence to yonder place;' and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. (Matt: 17:20) However: one condition - the next verse says, 'Howbeit, this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.' Tend to forget that - an excellent reminder, Leland, in thought provoking lines.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Per Buddhist philosophy, mountains can be moved now with the power of thought...never seen it done, but that does not mean it can't be accomplished...Ed
