Mind over Matter: Implications of Masuaki Kiyota's PK Feats with Metal and Film

by Walter Uphoff, Mary Jo Uphoff

A chronicle of longtime psychic phenomena investigators Walter and Mary Jo Uphoff's adventures delving into the mysterious psychokinetic powers displayed by Japanese youth Masuaki Kiyota during the years 1976-1979. Masuaki appeared in numerous television and magazine features due to his ability to bend metal (particularly spoons) and create photographic images on blank film through the power of thought alone.

"The implications of the evidence for psychokinesis (PK) presented in this book are far-reaching indeed. They will eventually necessitate more broadly defined concepts of health and illness, education, physics, psychology, and of life and the universe--even if it means rewriting some lecture notes and text books."

[S.M. · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is very long and dry, and was more of a scrapbook than anything; newspaper clippings, tv transcripts and magazine articles made up about 75% of its bulk. The spates of the authors' own writing in between weren't terribly well-written or interesting. Most of the photographs added nothing to the subject at hand. Pretty unimpressive overall, despite what should be an interesting topic. I think a short internet article would suffice over this book.
