Fork-Bending

my twisted forks

Let's Talk About Forks, Baby

We've heard and seen "there is no spoon" -- but let's face it, how much can you warp up a spoon? I prefer to play with forks. These were bent by me, not by simply looking at them like in the Matrix movie but by altering myself/them to the point that they moved a lot more like butter than metal, and I twisted them with my fingers. I used my own hands, no tools, and would not have been able to twist these guys up like this under 'normal' circumstances.

I had gone to a weekend of nifty workshops and one of them was spoonbending, and I thought it was going to be "Matrix style"-- so did many of the other people there, and we were disappointed, but first things first, maybe, eh? The man doing the workshop explained an entire method including yelling-- which I think was intended to help break the mind free of its limitations. I didn't have any luck with his method but had been studying deliberate creating and amateur quantum physics long enough that I knew it must be possible (not to mention I saw other people doing it that day) -- just had never bothered to try it out, and so when I got home that night I decided to sit quietly with a fork and see what I could do.

What I did was relaxed into a bit of an altered state, and then sort of swung my consciousness around until the focal point was in the middle of the left side of my head, when it felt like not only the fork but everything had shifted to a much more malleable state. And I twisted the fork with ease, as if it were much more butter-like than metal.

Your method and mileage may vary but if you haven't tried it out yet, I suggest it-- especially if you don't care all that much for your flatware. ;) It is fun to play around with and the resulting art is not only a great conversation starter but is also a nice reminder if we've had a rough day and start looking at things 'out there' as if they're much too concrete.

"Life is but a fork," ha ha, okay it's much more colorful and dynamic than a fork-- but it can be bent as easily, when we remember. Bend it up to suit your bliss, and enjoy. :)
