Remote Viewing: Ten Thousand Roads

Push: Will Psi Get Realer?

One thing remote viewing (and all psychic-base activities) struggles with is the common confusion in the public about psi abilities. You have scoffer-skeptics convinced that nothing is ever, not even fractionally, psychic, while you have overcredible-believers convinced nearly everything is psi, or that when something IS psi that it’s going to be accurate predictably, that it can be “relied upon”.

Real psi is ridiculously inconsistent, “iffy” and not always robust, at least so far. And while it can be accurate, it’s so unpredictable that even a very long-term, accomplished viewer with a well documented profile can only be predicted on “probable %” accuracy.

Well a new movie coming soon will explore a group of people with ‘psychic abilities’, but with a rather interesting twist: the abilities are apparently not perfect or amazingly robust. This is no ‘Heroes’ where life-size world-changing MIGHTY AND COSMIC POWERS come into play, predictably. Which is a nice change frankly. Whether the film will show the iffy angle is not yet clear, but anything that doesn’t amplify the psi idea into cartoon level will be novel.

The film “Push” stars Chris Evans, Dakota Fanning, Camilla Bell and Djimon Hounsou. All of their characters have different psychic abilities, but “they’re not so great.” Director Paul McGuigan said about it:

“They’re kind of crap powers and that’s important because the film is a character piece as well as an action piece. “As they get emotionally involved their powers suddenly come to the front, but they’re still not that great. It’s not like they’re flying through the air or picking up cars and throwing them… I tried to keep it very much as gritty as I possibly could.”

Can they change the future? Here’s the movie website with trailer.
