Endless that was quite the response. I'll try to break it up and give you some of my thoughts about it.

Without a doubt most of them look very stereo typical....but I suppose a force hitting someone would look stereo typical right? Either way many of the way's people are thrown back seem as though they would be very easy to emulate...aka fake. But there are a few instances that really appear like a force has hit a person. Go re-watch the guy being thrown starting at 2:24 - 2:30ish. See that lift from the ground up into the air? I honestly think that would be very hard to pull off. I see it a few times in the video. I'm not saying it couldn't be faked...not by a long shot, but it looks convincing...

For sure though it is a youtube video, no way around that. In this day and age there can never be real video proof again. Welcome to the digital age.

If this is real I honestly hope that the 'whole' of humanity NEVER gets access to it. I wouldn't want this power because I wouldn't trust myself with it... Thus there is really no way I would want joe six pack down the street to ever gain access to this sort of power.

I'm guessing that the only real way would be direct experience. Like I said video footage in this day and age is utterly meaningless. Anyone with $400 bucks can gain access to software that will let them create amazingly accurate looking visual effects. So short of being thrown by an invisible force across the room I don't guess there is anyway to know for sure.

Perhaps it can...but I guess it would depend upon the willingness of the person with the ability.

This is the one that has bothered me the most. Why not just go prove it to the world? Well assuming this is real, then I suspect that those who have achieved something like this likely very well understand that proving it to the world would in a sense open pandora's box. Probably related to my fear above. I mean if science could prove that any man could do this it would immediately open the doors to immense research and would only be a matter of time until many people could do it....this would be profoundly bad for the current order of the world...IMHO.

MY thoughts are. I allow for the possibility, but see no need to form a belief based on a video...but I do find it rather fascinating none-the-less... also most people that reach the stage of llama don't typically feel a need to trick people, but I also allow for that possibility as well.
