I'm Sailing Into The Unknown

So I'm working on my telekinetic abilities.

Yup, I have telekinetic abilities.

I just haven't figured out how to make them work yet.

In my head, it's kinda like sailing into the unknown. People take it for granted, almost, that we have boats around. But think about before we had boats and complex maps and compasses and magnetic fields. We didn't know anything except there was a big body of water. We didn't know how to make boat. We didn't know what a boat was. We just knew that we could float on the water.

I'll bet there were a whole bunch of people who said, "Float on water?! You must be a dumbass! Now get back in here and eat this rancid rat carcass that your father found outside the cave!" And that young explorer ate his rancid rat carcass and died. But other cave people didn't eat the rancid rat carcass. And they did a whole bunch of experiments to figure out how to float on the water. And after a while, they made inner tubes, then rafts, and finally, cruise ships. And now we don't even think about it.

The people who discovered how to fly weren't just The "Right" Brothers, they knew they could do it. And Chuck Yeager didn't break the sound barrier by listening to all the people who told him to get back into his cave and eat his rancid rat carcass.

I'm like them. I'm the Right Yeager. That's what I'm doing. I'm discovering how to use my telekinetic powers. And when I do, I might be able to tell others how to use theirs. And pretty soon, we'll have no need for remote controls anymore. Think of it: a world sans remote controls. Pretty amazing, huh?

Here's the difficult part, though. I don't really know what might work and what is a dead end. I don't know if I'm unable to move the pen across my desk because I'm not doing the right thing or if it's because I'm not practiced enough in doing the right thing. Like a baby failing to walk, he might think that putting your foot in front of the other is the wrong way to walk, because every time he does it, he falls over. The biggest difference: that baby looks around and sees other people doing it. AND he doesn't have a day job that takes away massive amounts of research time. I have a day job... but I'm able to not shit myself... so I guess I'm tied with the baby.

In any case, I continue to try to manifest my telekinetic powers. Here are some things that I've tried so far:
Picture the object going to where you are willing it to go.
Picture the object already in the place where you want it to end up.
Picture the space between you and the object you're trying to move folding on itself so that there is no more space and you're able to actually touch the object and move it as you would like to.
Focus not on the emptiness between you and the object, but focus, rather, on how you and the object are connected by the molecules in the air and will them to attract the object to you.
Will the molecules in the air to repel the object.
Find different places in your brain to try to stimulate with thoughts of moving the object.

These haven't worked yet.

But I KNOW I will find it.
I know I have telekinetic abilities.
I know I have control over them.
Now I work to get to the time when I can actualize those thoughts.
