Spoonbending Party Report

Yet another spoon softened, yielded, became one with us, bent to our wish, conformed to our command…. or did it? Is this yet another mind f–k or is it proof that our beliefs create our reality? The answer is, drum roll, neither and both! Gottya!

Sunday, January 24, sunny and nice, we gathered in the Funkmeyers’ New Reality Garden. Jenny had everyone clean the old bent spoons from her previous parties among flowering white sages, tobacco, squash and mulberries.

People introduced themselves to each other and made friends while they examined and absorbed the energy from hundreds of bent spoons.

The party was off and running by the time Otis opened with a rousing talk on “The Nature of Reality” and gave out a booklet he made. He was spot on, I must say, in how you can make new science work for you, how the holographic universe is your friend, how 2012, the end of time, is good news for you personally, how you can benefit while the old crumbles and the new emerges… very encouraging ideas!

Then Jenny launched on the serious business of mind bending. She handed out brand new stainless steel spoons, told everyone how to do it and yes, yes, yes, everyone bent a spoon!

Afterward we drank Pombucha and ate super yummy raw food made by Jenny: flax-sunflower-seed-bell-pepper crackers, cheesy cheese cheese kale chips made without cheese, and coconut macaroons. Debra shared with us her crazy good all vegan ice-cream. It was fun!

Kevin, one of the participants, said “I think of myself as a scientific person so when my spoon bent clearly it really messed with my mind.”

Mount Everest’s magical mystery can only be felt by climbing it – no amount of talking can explain the feeling to you. It’s the same thing with spoonbending: the moment of magic must be felt. In the case of a spoonbending party, it is truly be there or be square.
