Umm... Hi. My username is bombbard, but you already knew that. I'm going to start out this little description with a cheesy statement, but it's one that is truly going to help me. I used to be a skeptic. An atheist... er... I guess I still am an atheist, but I used to think that Psychic powers were just a select few people around the world who had gone crazy, but had stayed sane enough to spread their word about it. And maybe there are people like that, but this is not a subject governed by those who are insane. These people are regular people. They've experienced this kind of stuff, and they've experienced taxes. They most likely lived through 9/11, and they most likely have created a ball of energy. I had, for so long, wanted this to be true, but forbid myself from believing in it, because it was all fake, right? It hadn't been proven true by science, and you never see people using it, or at least, I haven't. I disregarded it, and forgot all about it until not too long ago. I was watching a playthrough of the NES game, Mother. I thought about the protagonist Ninten's powers. I looked up a demonstration of psychic power. I wanted to make sure that this was still all fake, and that the world was still easily understood. What I saw changed my perspective on the matter. I saw a man demonstrate telekinesis, but not in the usual way. He didn't put on a show like most people. He acted like he was tired of people hating his practice, making claims about how false it was. He moved a ball in a pattern that I KNOW a string, magnet, etc. couldn't produce. Then I realized something: Why are there so many PSI demonstration videos? Why are there so many people trying to trick the world? The reason? They're not. Some people may be, just for a dare for a friend or something similar, but not most people. I then thought about it for the longest time. I thought and thought and thought. I am, to many of my friends, a firm believer that science can explain all. That we can prove everything obeys a set of rules and that you can figure out why anything does what it does. Why hasn't science explained psychic powers? Because, I realized, many people regard psychic powers as magic, when it's actually science as well! The only difference is that it's mental science! At least, I think. It may be some other science, but I feel like it's mental science, the only science we have barely scratched the surface in. Allow me to rephrase that: we have barely scratched the surface of how the brain works. Many people prattle on about how this couldn't be possible, when really, neither side knows for sure. Science hasn't proven that the brain CAN'T produce effects such as the ones described by psychic users, but the same goes for the opposite: psychic users can't prove to science that they can preform psychic abilities. Of course, this is just me. Thanks for reading this useless speech! By the way: I'm in no way a troll, or do I try to be. I'm just an average guy trying to prove to the world that PSI isn't necessarily fake. In fact, it's not.

TL;DR I'm a bit crazy, and I think that I can prove that PSI is science. I'm looking to train in it myself, just to help prove my cause. bo
