I've been able to "push" for many years now, but it took a pretty large amount of effort and wasn't as successful as I would wish it to be. But lately it seems to have ramped up quite a bit.
Now I can do it pretty much at will. Most of the time though I'll just be thinking something and someone nearby will either answer the question I was asking (in my head) or say something about what I was thinking.
I use it mostly when I am in Houston traffic and want a clear lane ahead of me. I astound my wife with it every time she is in the car with me.
I cam also read others "intentions" and it comes in VERY handy when meeting someone new. Its almost like I know them better than they know themselves.
But a question that I posed to myself was am I "pushing" my thoughts or am I having the thoughts because I'm getting small glimpses of the future and begin to think about it right before it was going to happen anyway. It drives me crazy sometimes when I think about it.
One thing I know is that it ISNT coincidence. There's just no way that all the thousands of times that it has happened that there isn't something extra sensory going on.

Great topic, OP.
Solicitations like the Randi Challenge are typically offered by organizations with the goal of disproving paranormal events. Such organizations would never discard/conceal evidence in order to protect their positions (and jobs), right? Just like scientists never fabricate or modify data for personal gain. Or politicians.
Regardless of the solicitor's motives, a lack of response hardly constitutes evidence against the existence of something. It is a huge leap from voicing one's theories/observations on an internet forum to approaching a scientific institution and publicly making claims of paranormal ability. Any person doing so will be subject to a lot of uncomfortable scrutiny. In the end it may be for nothing, as the institution decides what qualifies as evidence.
There is a growing field of science called noetics, which deals with psychic ability in true scientific terms. One experiment showed that most people can 'feel' when they are watched, even through a CCTV camera. I have been meaning to start a thread on the topic.
