When I was a youngster, I was super psychic… in fact, I was one of those “I see dead people” kids and since I was born in the waaay back, olden time of the 1960’s it was hard to find information about what was going on for me.
That didn’t stop me from looking though, when I was about 10 years old, I went to my local town library branch (cuz, you know… no internet….) and looked up books on psychics and the paranormal There wasn’t too much available however. Edgar Cayce, Jane Roberts and Uri Geller on spoon bending. Uri Geller seemed like the more interesting option to my 10 year old self. (No shade to Edgar and Jane who are both quite amazing and I appreciated them very much when I got a little older…)
I became fascinated by the idea of spoon bending and other telekinesis type activities. For years, I was convinced that I could do it, and would stare hard at spoons in the school cafeteria. I was definitely an odd ‘un… I also wanted to light a candle with my mind and I was convinced I could fly too and still haven’t managed those yet.
But— 50 years later…. I did just bent a spoon! I am telling you, as silly and probably crazy as that sounds, it was like a bucket list moment for me, and I finally fulfilled a life-long ambition. I bent the heck out of that dang spoon. Finally….
Here is how that all came to be…
A couple of weeks ago, I had Zenka Caro as a guest on my podcast and she runs an organization called LightNet. Zenka is a trailblazer in consciousness studies, bridging the gap between science and spirituality. As the founder of LightNet, she delves into collective intelligence and mind-over-matter research. And she is an expert in spoon bending and other types of impossible feats that she teaches people to do all the time.
Her team has conducted many of these sessions that take regular people and teach them how to do things like sprout seeds in their hands, stop the hands moving on the clocks and also receive messages from beyond with ham radios. (Which she did on the podcast, and it was soooo cool!)
According to Zenka and her team, it works when we get together as a collective in groups of 8 people or more and when we set our intention then bring in some high vibe energy and get our logical mind out of the way. This opens the door for these types of impossibilities to happen. And when we stop thinking that we can’t, we can. And when we experience one impossibility actually happening like that- it opens our minds to so much more. It’s a very consciousness expanding experience for everyone who participates.
So of course I signed up for her monthly spoon bending webinar and we did it, a bunch of random folks on zoom and everyone bent some spoons- including me.
I bought my spoons on Amazon and they were regular old stainless steel spoons. Not too cheap and flimsy either. And even though I have wanted to do this my whole life, I was sure that I was going to be the one person who couldn’t do it.
After we went through some basics on what we were doing, she had us all stand up and do a little guided meditation and then you literally jump around and yell “Bend, bend, bend!” The trick she says, is to create enough chaos and noise to get your logical brain to shut up for a minute and to quit telling you that you actually can’t do it.
I was jumping around and yelling with everyone else and then it felt like the spoon got a little rubbery and soft and I easily bent it almost in half. OMG! The spoon got soft and I actually used almost no pressure at all to bend it. It’s not like I became super strong or exerted a ton of force, it just got soft, bent and then got hard again. Soooo weird.
And then seconds later, it’s very hard metal again and I actually couldn’t bend it back to the shape it had been. It was really, really cool.
The next round we did was a hands off one, when you try to bend the spoon without touching it. My intention was to straighten the curve out of the handle of the spoon, which actually did happen. Although the spoon didn’t move as much as the first time, it was also extremely cool, since I was not touching or pushing on it all at.
Hey, I know you are probably skeptical about all of this, which is totally natural. I respect skeptics, and even though I work as a psychic and pretty much live in the woo woo world, I don’t just believe in everything either. I need to experience it myself to really believe it.
All I can say, is try it yourself. LightNet holds monthly spoon bending workshops and Zenka encourages you to learn to lead them and start your own.
As it says on the LightNet website, “The science of the impossible- we study how extraordinary people do impossible things. We look for patterns. Then we invite you to try it at home in groups of eight.”
“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” Now I wonder what else I can do that is impossible?
