If it is, where is the evidence? Where is the proof? There is none and, what's more, it contradicts our current understanding of physics (especially telekineses, I mean, the energy to move those objects has to come from somewhere.)

I was going to say something, however, that comment pretty much sums up my thoughts on the subject, with one exception.
It is happening now, however, it's much less remarkable (in a way, in another way much more remarkable) than people like to picture it, and it's, of course, technologically assisted.
There are actually EEG scanners which will become commercially available within the coming months. While these scanners are primarily designed to operate games, they can easily be utilized to operate machinery or other physical devices. Of course, I'm far more interested in their applications in gaming.
But really, you have to think about how logical it is to have naturally occurring telekinesis. Brainwaves are simply waves, correct? Electromagnetic pulses given off by the chemical reactions occurring within your brain.
When was the last time you threw something across the room with... radio waves? Or microwaves? Infrared rays? Light?
Brainwaves aren't even mechanical radiation. Where sound, at very high amplitudes, has the ability to shake physical objects on a visible level, electromagnetic waves do not. Brainwaves are electromagnetic waves.

A matrix is what some like to call it. Once you have realisation of the plastic world around, you obtain a quarter of enlightenment. This also comes with a consequence for you will begin to have urges to detest ideas, reject others and some even go as far as becoming an anarchist.
My thoughts are that the Mayans disappeared for this reason, not because of reverting back to savage laws then killing each other, no, it is because they achieved what our average simple minded society will not accept because they are afraid and prevented to see.

Assuming you are serious:
1.) No.
2.) I am an anarchist, though I'm having quite a bit of trouble figuring out how to shoot magical death rays out of my head. Or is it that once I gain a 'quarter of enlightenment' I may become an anarchist and then the road to spiritual awesome rays is cut off? Where does that leave the world's anarchists? They want magic head beams too!
