Psychokinesis: Mind Over Matter

Here is a photo of Ted Owens, "The PK Man," that I took in 1976, when I met him at a conference sponsored by the Parascience Foundation at the University of London. I spent over a decade studying his unusual abilities, until his death in 1987. He is the individual who is the subject of my book, The PK Man.
During this period, Owens liked to specialize in large-scale effects involving hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, power blackouts, volcanos, etc.
Owens also referred to himself as "The UFO Prophet" -- because many of his "demonstrations" seemed to entail UFO sightings.
Here is a link to a summary of my findings on Owens.
Below is a sworn affidavit from Philadelphia attorney Sidney Margulies regarding Ted Owens' ability to cause lightning strikes. I have interviewed Margulies twice about this event. He stands by the events as described.
For those who are interested, I host a discussion group about "The PK Man." You can sign up for it by clicking here and scrolling to the bottom of the page.
There has always been some ambiguity as to whether the events described in my book were the result of Owens' psychokinesis, or the actions taken by the hyperdimensional "Space Intelligence," or perhaps just pure coincidence. Now, I am wondering if they might not be best explained ar "archetypal synchronistic resonance."

thanks for reminding me this. yes, i remember reading about Ted years ago from your site. very interesting stuff.
please allow me to go on a tangent a bit… i'm just wondering if you met Luis Gasparetto? and what are your expert opinions about him? i also remember you mentioning his name a while back in one of your interviews. i blogged about Luis Gasparetto a couple of years ago after reading Jimmy's books. i would love to hear your thoughts on this.
thanks. keep posting good stuff.
Yes, Luiz Gasparetto and his mother both stayed with me in San Francisco, back in the late 1970s – and I also visited their home Sao Paulo, with a tour that I led to Brazil back in 1982. There is no doubt in my mind that they are very sincere in their work as spiritistas.
