The highest and most revered spiritual entity, in the entire cosmos, is wondering if telekinesis – the ability to move things around by mental effort alone — might solve some of Earth’s most vexing problems…
…many of them instigated by people with giant egos and overblown beliefs?
What if some of the world’s autocrats – dictators and dictator wannabes — were to be levitated several feet up in the air, or even higher, and kept floating around, long enough to cool their jets and chill out?
Just envisioning that brings a grin to the spiritual entity, seeing some of them all festooned in their ceremonial military garb, or wearing suits, and maybe long red neckties… and one of them, perhaps, riding shirtless on a horse, like he was seen doing, several years ago.
And scowling, too, as autocrats and wannabes often do.
Imagining how something like that might go down — as they’re all going up — the spiritual entity’s smile becomes hearty guffaws.
Even as they’re grabbing for their smart phones, to tweet, text, email, or place calls, their phones are swept off, just far enough, so earthlings can experience a little peace, for just a little longer.
Telekinesis could stymie others… criminals, for, instance, as they’re about to smash windows with crowbars or hammers. Imagine such tools, guns, and all, levitating into the wild blue yonder! The gun lobbyists would go nuts!
Reckless drivers could be levitated, while they’re in their vehicles. And spammers and fraudsters could be levitated.
And hey, who knows? Maybe a little telekinesis would work wonders, out your way, with your local officials levitating, a little, cooling their jets and chilling out?
But what if powers of concentration required for telekinesis weakened, for a second or two, and everyone floating about, all of a sudden, were to come spiraling down?
What if, indeed? The highest spiritual entity is wondering, grinning even more.
