I was reading the Attraction Mind Map blog today, mostly because of a link to there from another blog I read regularly. I really liked what the author had to say about abundance:
I realise now that the key attributes of what “being rich” really means include financial freedom, love, happiness, better relationships, improved health, etc. Money is not just an end, but a means to an end. It is only when I began to comprehend the meaning of abundance, and what I needed to do to clear my negative blocks, did I experience immense peace, happiness, joy and started to attract wonderful opportunities and outcomes.

So I started to read a bit further. The first post on the home page was titled Be One With The Spoon - And The Universe. The post was about attending a workshop and learning to bend spoons, “not by brute force but by the mental focus of thought.” Excellent - the sceptic in me awakens! As I was reading, I was thinking there was no way I could buy into this unless there was at least some video proof. As luck would have it (or was it me willing it to be?), there was indeed a video demonstrating the ability to bend spoons by sheer mental will:
Well, it only took me about 3 seconds to debunk this video by clicking on one of the “Related Videos”, conveniently located beside the video on YouTube:
Does anyone really believe you can use your mind to bend spoons? I am open enough to admit that perhaps anything is possible, but I just replicated the initial spoon bending video myself and I wasn’t even meditating!
