Develop psychokinesis the hard way

There's always the old psychokinesis joke, never mind, doesn't matter. Psychokinesis is the art of changing or moving physical matter with your mind, like a Jedi trick from the Star Wars movies. Psychokinesis is in fact an age old practice that more than a few people believe can be manipulated and used by certain humans.
Most wizards and movie magicians use psychokinesis with the simple wave of a hand, but in fact many believe it to be a real power that can be developed and perfected like any other. Many people believe you can develop psychokinesis as well as learn telekinesis. Telekinesis is simply mind over matter. To develop psychokinesis, one must study and practice and clear the mind. To develop psychokinesis one must have absolute faith in their abilities and in the power of the human brain. But how does one develop psychokinesis? Where does one find someone to learn this from and what practices must one perfect to fully develop psychokinesis. It's not like there's courses taught on the hour down at the old community college. It's not like you can find lessons sold on infomercials on late night television. Psychkinesis is an art form or exercise taught by occultists, who pass this information on to people they deem capable of pulling such a feet off. We've all seen the guy who can seemingly bend the spoon with his brain. Think about it, how cool would that be? Unfortunately it's not a power that all of us can posses.

That is probably a good thing though. Imagine if we all possessed such a power. That could cause a few problems, eh. That guy cut me off when he was supposed to yield so I have to teach him a lesson, and then all of a sudden there's five thousand cars hovering in mid-air above the freeway. That'd be a site. And what about crime? Crime rates would shoot through the roof. Anybody could break into anything anywhere. No safe door would be safe. You could rip it off with your mind. Forget about wars though, that would be a good thing. What would be the use of creating bullets and bombs and weapons when you could disintegrate them or repel them with a thought? Come to think of it, the world might be a better place if we all developed the ability to move physical matter with the mind. Sports would be ruined because you could affect the outcome of any game. Think about it, your team's losing so all of a sudden they complete four 100 yard touchdown passes because you could manipulate the ball and the players and the field. But then, fans of your opponent's team could do the same. Wow, the whole thing could deteriorate into a big mess in no time at all. Come to think of it, maybe it's better for everyone if this power is protected by a select few. Imagine if I irritated the waitress at the coffee shop without even realizing it, next thing I know I'm covered head to toe in steaming black java and sticky cream. Life could become one giant huge big ugly mess. Maybe the world would be safer and less boring if we all had telekenesis, but it certainly could be aggravating as all hell. Yep, as intriguing as the idea is of all of us being able to manipulate objects with the old noggin, it might not be such a good thing after all. Lord knows I hate to see my football team lose but hey, at least I know they only lose because they stink, not because someone on the other side defied the laws of physics and cheated their way to a victory. We already have the Steelers and the Yankees, how many more cheaters does this world need?
