			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was reading the <a title="Attraction Mind Map" href="http://www.attractionmindmap.com/">Attraction Mind Map</a> 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:</p>
<blockquote><p>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.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>So I started to read a bit further. The first post on the home page was titled <a title="Spoon Bending" href="http://www.attractionmindmap.com/be-one-with-the-spoon-and-the-universe/">Be One With The Spoon - And The Universe</a>. The post was about attending a workshop and learning to bend spoons, &#8220;not by brute force but by the mental focus of thought.&#8221; 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 <em>at least</em> 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:</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Well, it only took me about 3 seconds to debunk this video by clicking on one of the &#8220;Related Videos&#8221;, conveniently located beside the video on&nbsp; YouTube:</p>

<p>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&#8217;t even meditating!</p>
