What does it mean to be a kinetic? Kinesis is when there is motion of an organism because of a stimulant like light. To be kinetic is to have the ability to harness the power of kinesis within one's self. Like telekinetics, psychokinetics and those with extra sensory perception, kinetics have a supernatural ability. This talent allows author Kenneth Adrian Ellis to release tension from his body by voice command. He has a documented kinetic gift that he reveals to readers in the eye-opening pages of A Kinetic Person's Power.
