Have I always believed in the paranormal?
The answer is: 'no'.
When I started out in my journalistic career I was a TV Researcher on a
paranormal show and as part of my research I had to interview psychics. I spoke
to three psychics (each one in private) and all three of them asked me the same question: “Do you have twins?” Two of them followed that question by
saying: “I’m seeing a boy and a girl.” I hadn't yet had any children at the time
and remember thinking that all these psychics weren't very psychic at all. BUT...forward-wind a few
years and I gave birth to my first child. Or should I say children. Because it
was twins – a boy and a girl! Do you think those psychics had actually been able to read my future?
I went on to work on several
paranormal TV shows over the years and witnessed quite a few weird and
unexplainable phenomenon – including being with the infamous Israeli spoon-bender
Uri Geller, who frequently bent spoons in my presence. In fact, spoons bent
whether he was holding them or not! It was the spookiest thing and, honestly, I didn't see any way/how any trickery/fraud was coming into play.
The spookiness was soon to become more personal, however. For part of my research I read all Uri Geller’s autobiographies. In one of them was a section entitled:
How you can bend a spoon with the power of your mind. It was a five-part
process, which included:
a. getting the spoon
b. closing your eyes and holding
the end of the spoon between your thumb and index finger
c. thinking from your
head down to your fingers and demanding the metal spoon to bend
d. concentrating harder
e. concentrating even harder.
I did all those things. I
concentrated and then suddenly I felt the spoon burn between my fingers and
dropped it to the floor. When I went to pick it up I was MORE SHOCKED THAN I HAVE EVER BEEN BEFORE OR SINCE IN MY LIFE. The spoon had bent over double. And I was the one responsible for making it do so.
Ever since, not only do I believe in the paranormal, I believe that ALL of us possess some of these powers, only it's a power which is untapped.
The novel I've just written - A Call to Heaven - is also based on a paranormal premise, because sometimes it's nice to believe that the extraordinary really can happen...

Congratulations on your telekinetic accomplishment!!!!!! That is AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing that came to mind just before reading this post was the scene from the Movie 'The Matrix' in which the character 'Neo' goes to see 'the Oracle' and meets another possible 'one' who seems to be able to bend a spoon with his mind - and then shares his secret: Realising that in actuality in the Matrix "There is no spoon"!
That said, your actual spoon bending feat is very amazing!
