SPOON BENDING

Spoon Bending

Quantum physics is now discovering something our ancestors took for granted--the ability of the human mind to shape and alter their surroundings. Spoon and fork bending are wonderful examples of how reality can shift in obvious macroscopic ways that we can clearly see. Young children are much more open-minded about expecting spoons and forks to bend and twist with thought and gentle touch. Let me pass on this secret: Grab a spoon (one you do not need to use again) along the stem, just under the bowl. Now focus your mental energies to a point in your mind. Imagine the mental energy going through your arm and into the spoon. Hold the spoon up, look at it and shout, "bend! bend!" The spoon will get temporarily warm and pliable, becoming easy to bend. The first step in hosting a spoon bending party is to decide who you'll invite. Make sure you invite people you truly love to have around, and people who will at least be open-minded about the idea of bending spoons! I invited several close friends and their children. It's really wonderful to have lots of kids! Laughter, happy talking, and lots of excitement all contribute to making your spoon bending party a success. Be sure to have a big selection of utensils to choose from that are OK to bend. You will need the large assortment because not all utensils "want" to bend! One of my friends had brought along a whole basket full of spoons and forks for us to choose from, and we each took a few moments to select utensils that seemed "right" for us. This step turns out to be a very important one – ask that the people take time to ask the fork or spoon, "Will you bend for me?" If you don't feel that the answer will be yes, you need to pick something more cooperative. If you get a positive feeling about your chosen spoon immediately hold the spoon vertically while shouting, "Bend! Bend!" Once intimidated by being shouted at, the spoon can be rubbed gently between your fingers, and pretty soon it will bend. It has been said that spoon bending requires "relaxed inattention", in the sense that it is better to not get too preoccupied with worrying about whether your spoon is bending. People who are most successful at this say that it works when they are not even paying any attention... that is when your spoon is most likely to bend! You have to first try to get it to bend, and then change the focus of your attention to something completely different, while continuing to touch or stroke it. If you think about quantum behavior on a macro-scale, this business of "relaxed inattention" starts to make some sense. It is a lot like knowing that if you LOOK for a quantum particle, you will see one... and if you are not looking, those "particles" behave like waves.
