Telekinesis Risks and a Psi Wheel with Ken — Part 1 of 2 | Classics Rotation
Published 52 minutes ago
Description
The host and Ken, from the channel Ken Studying Psychic Abilities, open on how Buddhist school in Japan and a run of conspiracy research led him into telekinesis interviews. This part stays with that path, why he says he mostly stopped practicing, and the psi-wheel clip he treats as proof, before the later questions about teaching and travel.
The recording opens with whistling, then the host introduces Ken as a curator who interviews martial-arts practitioners, people doing telekinesis, and others working with psychic abilities. She asks how he started the channel and what he practices. Ken says he grew up Buddhist, is from Japan, and that his father was in the Air Force, so he went to Buddhist school there. He says he does not really know much about Buddhism and that he has kept a shaved head because of that background. He places his real spiritual search around age 20, in conspiracy research: 9/11, then 2012, Nibiru and Planet X, the Thrive movement, and from there flat earth, Tartaria, DMT and what he calls spirit molecules, and New Age meditation. Around the same time, he says, law-of-attraction and manifestation material was booming. He says he tried positive thinking, nothing happened, and he decided there had to be more to it than that.
He says the search led him to an interview, on a channel he thinks was called something like We Are Creators, with Dr. Joe Gallenberger of the Monroe Institute, who was teaching telekinesis. Ken says he had not thought telekinesis was a real practice, that searching it on YouTube changed his world, and that he then found other practitioners in that niche. He says his own early psi-wheel posts on Facebook were nothing impressive. He describes himself as a nobody who could not teach, so he tried interviewing. He says the telekinesis podcast stayed small, a core audience told him to keep going even when he thought he was bad at explaining things, and he quit numerous times. In this original recording he says that the day before he had reached 2,000 subscribers, and he apologizes for the length of the story. The host says it was fine. She says his interviews feel more childlike and playful than the formal tone she hears from practitioners, and that this helps people drop their ego. She says he is not a nobody, because he is connected to the people he interviews, including Dalia, whom she says she is also a fan of, and guests talking about the rainbow body and Buddhism. She treats even a small audience as mattering for consciousness, says she thinks he is probably being attacked psychically, and names guests she has watched on his channel, including an Australian woman she calls Bri, Alex Stefan, and an Irish guest who does not show his face. Ken says he is honored that people watch.
Asked if he still practices, Ken says not really. He says there are serious consequences: moving a psi wheel or another object takes a lot of cultivated energy, and he says some masters and some practitioners have reportedly died, including people who were cultivating energy and not doing telekinesis. He says that about a year or two before this conversation he was not sure he wanted to continue, and that he found a yin school, which he describes as putting energy into the body in a gentle way. He says even that softer work can be harmful, especially coming from a martial-arts background used to intensity. He says he still wants to do energy work and advance, but he is aware of the repercussions and not sure where he wants to go.
Ken says it may surprise people, but he recently met someone associated with a monk at Mount Athos, which he identifies as Orthodox Christian. He says he is not going to become a close-minded traditional Christian, because he knows too much, but that for practice he is considering a more righteous, religious route. He says he has heard of monks he describes as immortals doing extraordinary things by being righteous, eating healthy, and praying rather than meditating,
