On my new author/researcher website I have:

1. just revealed publicly the identity of the secret "measurable systemic element" in the human body that I claimed in my Breakthrough news release is a major necessary factor in the production of telekinetic energy.

2. posted more photographs, all of which are downloadable for use elsewhere (please follow the photo usage terms).

2. posted a telekinesis equation: "Conrad's Human Telekinesis Equation."

3. revealed more information about my research and a related personal tragedy that began shortly after the 2001 news release came out (which was one week before 9/11).

I am a private American paraphysics researcher who has been looking into the subject of telekinesis on and off for over 20 years, ever since in the early 1980s when I witnessed a heavy ceramic table lamp lift up on one edge and thump down repeatedly for five seconds and on another occasion, also in the early 1980s, I saw a small bottle of Liquid Paper slide briefly across a desk surface, both events occurring spontaneously in front of me.

There have been numerous other witnessed telekinetic events; in the late 1970s and 1980s mostly spontaneous and then throughout the 1990s mostly consciously intended, once I learned how to activate it. The above two instances of heavy objects moving, however, are the most dramatic and powerful examples; others have come close.

In April of 2001 (the date of the photo here), after years of trial-and-error research attempting to create a suitable electronic detection apparatus and search for a biological boosting agent or thought method, I finally came upon the answer, the secret, the natural mechanism by which telekinesis operates.

What I can reveal is that there is real, not supernatural, physiology involved and cerebral activation of that physiology. There is a measurable systemic element to part of it that can be monitored and increased or decreased. Decreasing that factor stops the functionality of the ability or at least lowers it to below a detectable level with current instrumentation, which in my lab is sensitive enough to detect the application of force down to below the touch of a human hair. There may be genetics and an evolutionary transition factor at work also, but that is beyond my research capability at the present.

The energy forming the basis of the telekinetic motive power emanates from the head region, not the hands, and not the body as a whole. It activates briefly in a controllable on or off mode by means of a learned mental triggering process and requires a short duration of metabolic recharging, with an increase of effect observed the longer the rest or inactivation period. An eventual headache is a side effect of many activations in a row.

How the breakthrough occurred: It was only after the ability began to leave me suddenly in late 1999 after a nearly 100% success rate (9 times out of 10, sometimes 10 out of 10 repetitions of effect observed) that I was able to conduct an investigative analysis of my body's physiology, taking into account any effects of my increasing age (44 at the time), and make comparisons with previous research notes, medical observations, experimental nutritional and therapeutic supplements intake, and blood profile and hormone tests from the past 20 years when the ability was stronger, looking for what had changed and what I had not already researched as a possibility, that I found the answer.

Note that my experiences and research have made me a firm believer only in "telekinesis" and not "psychokinesis," which may or may not exist. My definitions:

TELEKINESIS (TK): The ability to cause at a distance by cerebral-generated motive power the movement of matter or energy, inclusively or exclusively, solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, particles of matter, or particles or waves of energy.

PSYCHOKINESIS (PK): The ability to cause at a distance or by physical touch using the mind's will power and imagination the extraordinarily profound movement or manipulation of matter, energy, or events.

The protocol for a run of my telekinesis experiment requires that I stand motionless and silent at least four feet from a target (have stood over 20 feet away), with high-resolution video footage shot before, during and after the claimed activation. The floor of the lab is bare concrete, which provides a stable, non-electrostatic generating surface.

I am making this discovery claim known now because I would like to solicit suggestions from the variety of great minds out there on how best to locate and make contact with a serious research partnership entity, perhaps a genetics lab or business entrepreneur, U.S. or foreign, private or government, without automatically being viewed as just another crackpot claimant. Over twenty years ago, my IQ tested at a respectable 140, so at least consider the possibility that I may be genuine.

Like Thomas Edison and scores of honored engineers and chemists, I, too, have a connection with the mainstream film industry. As such, I have been hesitant to step fully out of the research shadows because I know that association might be used by some as a reason to denigrate my sincerity (although my connection is a fairly good one). My sideline interest in frontier science is one that satisfies my intellectual curiosity and helps me to understand numerous extraordinary events that I have witnessed.

You may ask why I don't try out for the James Randi Educational Foundation million-dollar challenge prize? Two reasons. First, the knowledge of practical telekinesis in the long run is worth more than a million dollars (a prize amount subject to hefty income taxes). Sharing what I know with temporary judges in a challenge, who would not be subject to any kind of confidentiality, would make no sense from an information security standpoint. It could jeopardize possible future trade secret protection and the contractual relationship that I am seeking with a research partner.

Second, it might be ethically inappropriate for me to participate in the JREF challenge. I am a dues-paying, rank-and-file member of a skeptics' organization of which James Randi is a consultant and whose officers and leading members do and have done pre-testing for the JREF prize. It might be necessary for me therefore to disqualify myself and seek to gain from my discovery elsewhere, and so that is what I am doing.

Regarding my being a skeptic, I would like to make it clear that the statements and views presented here are my own and I am not an official spokesperson for the skeptics' organization to which I belong. I first revealed my research in this subject area in a cover article in the Fall 1993 issue of that organization's printed newsletter and have not updated my progress publicly until now.

Skeptics are often criticized for not actually doing any research. Well, as you can see by the photo, I've been doing serious laboratory research. I expect to be criticized by some for not sharing all the details of what I know, and that's okay, but also send in those suggestions.

Speculation: How valuable would telekinesis be to future astronauts in the weightlessness of space or on Mars as an emergency ability? TK motive power would certainly increase significantly without the restraints of Earth-bound gravity weighing down objects. What would be a weak effect observed on Earth would be a strong one in space. I have found it to be a line-of-sight ability, so it could only be used inside of a spacecraft or ground structure with an atmosphere. You couldn't teleport the energy through a helmet or window, as it would act upon the surface of that matter first.
