Lately, I've been fascinated with Telekinesis. The ability to move far away objects, regardless of the size or weight

If I could travel to the past once, I'd have trouble making a choice, but sticking to this subject, it'd have to be Edgar Cayce.
151Please respect copyright.PENANANnzbzJTAY1
Or Edward Leedskalnin.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAaVL6YJFznc
Let me go with the latter first. Cayce would take me days to write about.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAa5MJvPqHsf
What this guy accomplished should blow your mind. Let me explain.

Being in love could inspire a corpse. Most people who have had that magical experience could confirm it.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAVaVv0ik5kR
But when I was in love (or was it lust?) I had an average experience. Nothing extraordinary happened besides the spectacular heart-brain-hormones connection.

But I couldn't lift 10-pound stones even if I had two nuclear-powered cranes at my disposal. Well, maybe with those I could.
151Please respect copyright.PENANA6n1OzW0PJU
Ed Leedskalnin was onto something in 1923 when he managed to achieve such a feat. Without any cranes. And devastated by a love gone wrong.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAx1vCNphQ2Z
I don't know, but when I'm out of love for whatever reason, my mood is so dark, the last thing I want to do is move stones or do construction.

This beautiful young lady he was to marry, named Agnes Skuvst just told him off, presumably because she changed her mind.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAnKO4tIL6b4
Not only was this man horribly dumped, he was supposed to get married in just one more day.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAZJmOXTC1bS
Someone once said, if you want to understand women, you better read the Encyclopedia (several volumes).
151Please respect copyright.PENANAQWX1nf8rg2
Instead of trying to figure out why his beloved bride changed her mind at the last minute, this man rolled his sleeves and built her a castle.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAtusbedIpnR
At 5 feet tall, 26 y/old, and weighing just 100 pounds, we are supposed to believe (like the pyramids) that the deed was of human-construct.
151Please respect copyright.PENANABK3H72QInV
That this man, working alone, only at night and in complete secrecy (hence the night labor), managed to produce a castle of such magnitude that today, no one has figured out how he could have possibly managed.
151Please respect copyright.PENANA2VXUls8CEi
The numbers are insane. 1100 tons of oolite limestone rock moved through the air like helium balloons and placed perfectly in place without even a mark from the pulleys or chains. Not once, but twice. The largest stone weighed 27 tons.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAOMjkeD0Vr7
But the man couldn't catch a break. Right after he was near completion of the toughest part of the job, moving the heavier stones, he got terrible news.

Next to it, in Florida City, the town council decided to build a community center. Which meant he no longer could maintain the solitude he needed to accomplish his task.
151Please respect copyright.PENANALV89kH4fNt
Yes, he was a 'slightly' complicated person, but aren't most geniuses? If you are a genius, I'm sure you'll agree.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAvG6I7Z0qMx
What to do, what to do?
Well, put everything on a truck, of course, and get out of Dodge.
And that's exactly what he did.
151Please respect copyright.PENANARx0EozaVvz
Incredibly, he moved it all on that truck with the help of one person. One. A living witness of the action. We got the receipts.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAULrXACU4OZ
Ten miles up the road, he made sure this time nobody was going to interfere with his project. Obviously, he wanted it to be done before his bride turned 90, so I can't say I blame him for the effort and the urgency.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAs4u40mrI0H
He bought 20 acres in Homestead, just in case he needed more than 2 for extra space, and restarted his operation.
151Please respect copyright.PENANA9a8Qa2CZX7
An operation which he had to begin from scratch, without having put on any weight or built any kind of muscle.
The same frail frame, doing it all over again, for a woman thousands of miles away who probably couldn't drink enough vodka to try to erase him from her mind. And from the guilt.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAO85WhvKi0Q
"Now we're talking," he probably thought to himself. "Now catch me if you can."

One thing that was highly peculiar was a small box that he named "Perpetual Motion Holder", for which he was trying to obtain a patent, but was ultimately denied.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAUOWArNGMLA
Another little setback, nothing to write home about. He must have figured if it happened to Tesla, why wouldn't it happen to me? He was more right than he would ever know.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAS62mOAR8i0
At least, they didn't confiscate the thing. Even better, they didn't burn him at the stake for heresy. It's kind of hard to build a castle when you're smoldering from a burn.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAzYUhyMg9Cb
"All hands on deck," He must have said. "I got my life, I got my limestone, and I got my box."
151Please respect copyright.PENANAp16lb5p06o
It took him some time to finish his coral castle, which still stands today, drawing tourists from all over.

This super impressive structure might have been a sight to see when it was done. My premise for dreaming of going back to visit it, and to meet him, if Quantum physics would hurry up and make it possible.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAz9EHT5SXNF
It was documented that a child could push an 8ft tall, 8.2-ton gate so perfectly centered on its axes with a single push of a finger and it would swing in the intended direction.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAUwcWTR3KPX
There's something very strange going on here, that unfortunately, we, of this generation will never know. Who knows when, if ever, the technique (or the Juju inside that box) would be revealed. But I have a feeling this man's knowledge was not to be told casually to anyone, much less the public, for reasons that don't take a brain surgeon to guess.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAuvikDDvn3x
Something so fascinating and advanced that who knows, (not me, said the little red hen) where it could lead the human race.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAFdboacZIqn
Hello! Did I mention Tesla already? Ring any bells?
151Please respect copyright.PENANAjPzzRXJy55
This is a perfect example of Life imitating art. It could easily be an episode of The Outer Limits or such fictional show, and yet, here it is, this happened.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAJnzx20AknG
He wasn't a greedy man. Like most geniuses, he didn't think much about money. As a matter of fact, he only charged an unbelievable ¢10 per person to enter that atrium made out of love. And for his love.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAlhULTePoQW
He could have used an agent.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAdKpX6kiM5t
One sunny day just like any other in Leisure City, FL, he didn't feel right. A practical man, he closed the shop for the day leaving a simple note on the front gate with the words "Gone to the hospital".
151Please respect copyright.PENANARrVOY4M1oS
His work done on this Earth, this magnificently brilliant man died three days later on Dec, 7th, 1951. He was 64 years old.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAaxO0Md4eBE
To this day, his secrets remain one of the biggest puzzles in the world of science.
