Telekinesis

"Cogito, ergo sum" - René Descartes

If "I think, therefore I am" is the blueprint for existence, then "I believe, therefore I can" is the foundation for what lies beyond.


Me and The Cube

I'm staring at the cube. I want to move it with my mind. I am focused. I close my eyes and all I see is the cube's radiant matter. It has a mysterious allure to it. I want to tap into its energy. I want to lift it into the air and make it soar across the room. I'm determined to do it. I push my mind as hard as I can. There is nothing else. Only the cube. I am completely enveloped by its aura...

It does not move...

Now, the cube resonates intensely in my eyes. It angers me. That anger ripples across my body. My hand darts at it, and grasp it like a falcon's talons clutch its prey. I lift it into the air, and hurl it against the wall. Stupid cube.

The next day, I try again...

The cube does not move, but it does not anger me. I place the cube into the back of my night table drawer. The days go by, and in my night table drawer the cube waits. It sits and sits and sits, collecting dust in the dark, in my drawer, until I forget about it.

Years go by, and I decide to sell my furniture set. I empty all the drawers that I have never cleaned out. I find the cube buried under socks and pens and books, and I remember attempting to move it with my mind. It makes me laugh when I think about it. "Maybe I'll just sell it with the rest of the furniture?" I say. And I do.
