How Kinetic Abilities Are Really Supposed to Work (Telekinesis and More)
The mind and body are constantly communicating. We don’t think about how natural it is until we try out our mental energy on something that isn’t inherently natural to us, but some people have tried and supposedly succeeded in making the inanimate animated without physical strength. Telekinesis, also known as psychokinesis, is described as, “…The ability to mentally influence objects or conditions in the absence of intervening physical energy or intermediary instrumentation,” (Weschcke and Slate 2016). Basically, mind over matter.

Am I Crazy? Or Is There a Time-Traveler Lurking Around?
I have a prescription to fill, and it's more tinfoil for my hat. You ever get that itchy feeling that something's not quite right? Are you certain something happened a certain way, or a certain something existed? But when you check your resources, it's completely different than what you remember? Don't worry, you're not going crazy. Some people may think you are. Some people may think I am while reading this. They may offer more than just the extra tinfoil to touch up the rusty parts in my hat. They may have you or me fitted for a straight jacket. But I'm telling you, something fishy's going on.

Justified Paranoia
Over the last month, I have been driven… compelled… to talk about my experiences as a person who has interacted with extraterrestrial beings, or a contactee. Some people call this phenomenon “abductions” and the people involved “abductees.” Some people say we are “experiencers.” I say what I have witnessed, experienced, endured, is real—real to me—valid, and has shaped me into the person I am today.

The Human Harvest
Is this normal? Does every woman experience pregnancy symptoms all the time? I have been wondering this for years. As a newlywed, the late period, the swollen and tender breasts, the need for a million hours more sleep made a lot of sense. At 43 it wasn’t a completely welcome idea, but it was also a beautiful thing to consider and I started to feel really excited about the possibility of bringing another child into the world.

How Psychic Manipulation Actually Works
This is a psychic talent that is rarely discussed out in the open, but my goal is to change that since I want to write a whole book on psychic attack. Plain old, ordinary manipulation is about feelings. A manipulator extracts the types of feelings they want. Empaths who have this ability are doing it because they feel people’s emotions. When somebody employs brainwashing or manipulation, they say something like, “I need you to feel a certain way or I need you to think a certain way.” Somebody with a weak will is easy to manipulate. Some people with this ability seek to destroy others for personal gain.

The UFOs That Got Me Curious
My first UFO sighting was when I was 12 years old on a cruise ship called the Viking Serenade off of the Catalina Islands in California while I was standing next to my mother on the deck. I saw a line of five lights, one behind the other, until it turned into a circle and disappeared. The X-Files came out in 1993, and this was the summer before seventh grade besides, as I’m class of 1999. From then on I was curious. I started reading everything I could find. The internet also had plenty of information. I can’t remember what year I saw a cigar-shaped craft while on the Mountain View, CA overpass on Shoreline but I saw something while in the car with my mother.

Infinite Earths Just Got a Whole Lot Crazier
A little over a year ago, I was sitting on my bed and watching the TV series Supergirl when The Flash joined the episode I was on. He got there by going so fast that he opened a wormhole and landed on Supergirl’s Earth. When he got there, he ended up explaining the Theory of Infinite Earths and how each Earth has it’s own vibrational frequency, and it got me thinking. Keep in mind I had never really been a conspiracy theorist, mostly because I didn’t know it was a thing, but this whole thing reminded me of another theory that was gaining pop culture popularity: the Mandela Effect.
