What are your thoughts on it?
(Please be respectful of other's beliefs in this)
I, along with every person I know of who's done research on it, believe telekinesis by human means to be completely impossible within the realm of natural forces. That doesn't discount something supernatural happening, but again, the supernatural isn't natural so you'd be trying to play "force of the gaps" theory.
Why do you believe in telekinesis? From the context of this, it sounds like you have had success - what does that mean?
I respectfully think telekinesis is bunk, and wonder why you disagree I guess. If you want to get into the science of some pseudo-psychic powers, there was a thread a while ago that discussed them as previously mentioned.

I pick up my phone with my left hand, but I do more than that in the second it takes to physically do it.
I decide (mind)
I move muscles and joints (mind)
I use the sense of touch (mind)
So in reality I can move things with my mind
Exactly! We tend to forget how magical our mind really is.
