What is PK?
PK,
the abbreviation for psychokinesis, is the active or sending side of psychic
phenomena. The theory here is that psychic force is sent out from the
individual. Examples of PK include:
- Telepathic
sender -- the transmitter in the telepathy just discussed.
- Psychokinesis
(or telekinesis) proper -- the ability to move objects by means of psychic
force.
- Somewhat
along the same lines are poltergeist (noisy ghost) phenomena in which
objects move of their own accord or noises are heard. There is always a
human agent involved -- frequently a teenage girl -- who appears to be the
source of psychic energy.
- Psychic
healing -- the ability to heal various illnesses and infirmities. There
are many documented cases of this. Usually it involves a healer and a
subject, although there are recent cases involving cancer patients
learning to heal themselves.
- Teleportation,
asportation, and levitation.
Some
occultists feel a magician producing PK effects is simply a channel for
universal energy. Others think the force originates some way directly within
the magician.
