noun

Etymology: From tele- + -kinesis.

  1. The ability to move objects with the power of one's mind.

    Telekinetic energy, which has been variously designated as psychic force (Sir William Crookes), ectenic force (Professor Thury), and telekinesis (Professor Cowes), is demonstrably a power or faculty of the subjective mind.

    And this brings me to a consideration of how the phenomena of telekinesis may conceivably be produced — granting that the phenomena are ever genuine at all.

  2. An instance of use of such power.
