Canada. May 29 - June 13,
2009The WORLD
TELEKINESIS COMPETITION is a forum for speculative action -- an organized
tournament event in which teams from around the world engage in psychic
competition to remotely influence the behavior of a candle. Matches are played
by lighting a candle at the centre of the official game board, at an agreed-upon
time, signaling the beginning of the game. A match lasts for one hour, or until
the game candle is extinguished, whichever comes first. The object of the game
is to have the wax from the candle drip onto the opposing team's side of the
game board. This objective is to be accomplished by remote telekinetic
influence. The winning team will be awarded the World Telekinesis Competition
trophy, which they will get to keep until next year's competition.

++ TTLD
statement ++ TTLD
remains disappointed by last year's results. Particularly, the failure of
deceased members Konstantine Raudive (1906-1974), a student of Carl J¸ng,
who explored the 'voices of the dead' in what he called 'Electronic Voice
Phenomenon' (EVP), and William S. Burroughs (1914-1997), who also investigated
the unconscious properties of language that control the brain, has led to their
expulsion from TTLD's EVP Unit. In their absence, TTLD welcomes the new and
alive although distant member Celine Beyond (b. late 20th century; not yet
deceased). Beyond, who is a trained psychotherapist, mystic, and holder of a
Mark Master in the Arts, adheres to the principle of air-current psychosis
brought about by high levels of infectious sound ("noise"). To this effect, she
has joined forces with remaining and sole dictatorial member tobias c. van Veen
to generate brutal assaults of savage soul-noise. TTLD will prevail under the
following:1. The
movement of air currents are capable of causing a candle to quiver or waver. Air
currents are the providence of the breath of the dead. The spirits of the
deceased traverse the River Styx as souls of air. In Sanskrit, prana; in Greek,
psyche or the pneuma of the aura; in Latin, the animus and spiritus of being.
Gathering the spirits of the dead -- their disembodied voices -- into a wind
capable of influencing a candle's flame demonstrates the telekinetic power of
the beyond.2. While
in 2008 TTLD sought to (re)animate the actual souls of the dead themselves, this
year TTLD focuses on high-output noise as the physical movement of air into the
reception of the psyche itself. Savage noise hysically affects the psychic
balance. As the dead are unreliable at best, TTLD now focuses upon noise itself
as a mechanism of
soul-control.3. To
this end, in 2009 TTLD seeks not merely to extinguish or inflame the candle
during the competition, but to overtake the souls of the Noxious Sector
themselves, forcing them, under extreme noise duress on a psychic level, to rig
the competition in our favour.
