I can understand the knowledge part, I think. I believe the more you know about something, the better you can understand it, and the better you can utilize it.

For example, I think it would be a lot easier to move something complex like a car if you knew every part of it inside and out as opposed to just knowing that a car is something that gets you from a to b.

Another example is that it might be easier to perform thermoK, cryoK, or pyroK if you understand that flames and temperature are the result of heat energy which is basically a measurement of how fast the molecules in matter vibrate/move as opposed to simply thinking about something that feels hot or cold.

And you did say "For you to move a house you would need to practise for hundreds of years." so unless you meant something else, your later quote "Until we expand our knowledge we won't be able to do it. I didn't mean someone needs to live hundreds of years. I said that in a hundreds of years people will be able to do that." doesn't make sense.

I wasn't trying to start a fight AlSy, but I, for one, am kicking myself for doubting these abilities when I was younger and it really irks me to see comments like those that set a limit of any kind.

When I have kids someday, I plan on showing them sites like this or the Psion Guild. I hope to be at least able to do some things by then so I can show them it is possible and that they can do it too. That way, if they choose to practice these abilities, they won't have the mental block telling them it only exists in fiction and they'll never be able to do it themselves.
