It all started for me with a meditation practice led by Zenka, which involved using the white light method. This technique uses your mind to visualize and feel a powerful energy, such as love or a bright, luminescent white light, either above your head, at your crown, or flowing through your body. This visualization was the method I used, and it was the same method my son used. The results were almost immediate for both of us. I believe this success was partly because I had no preconceived notions about what to expect. Moreover, my son was right beside me, and his excitement mirrored mine. Even though neither of us knew what to expect, we were both enthusiastic about the experience. This childlike excitement added to the overall success. The combination of not having any preconceived ideas and approaching the practice with genuine excitement made the experience both fun and spiritually fulfilling.

When it came to spoon bending the very first LightNet spoon bending I did was with my son, Evan, on April 9th, 2023, a week after he turned nine. At the time, I barely knew what spoon bending was, only that it had some connection to spirituality. Intrigued, I thought it would be something fun for Evan and me to try together. So, we sat in front of the computer with a couple of spoons from the kitchen, ready to see what this was all about. Honestly, I hadn't given it much thought beforehand; I just signed up for it because it was something new and interesting. Reflecting on the experience, it reminded me of those rare times I've gone to a theater to watch a movie without knowing anything about it. When you walk in without expectations, the experience can turn out to be unexpectedly amazing. That's what spoon bending was for me. I went into it without any preconceived notions or specific outcomes in mind, which I believe is crucial. By not having any expectations, I was able to fully ...

It's essential to drop the need for a specific outcome because that need often translates into trying to force something. When you force things, you're essentially pushing against the natural flow. Instead, it's better to drop into a space of detachment from the outcome. For instance, some people intensely practice out-of-body experiences and become fixated on achieving them. My son began having spontaneous experiences at a young age, which initially scared both him and me. When he started describing vibrations, I panicked, thinking something drastic was happening. My frantic research led me to LightNet, where I realized my son was just deeply connected in ways I hadn't understood. 2023 was a whirlwind for me as I tried to protect my son from what I initially perceived as threats. Eventually, I understood that his experiences were natural and significant. This journey taught me the value of detachment. When you fixate on a specific goal, you create mental blocks. True detachment mea...

After my initial experience with spoon bending, I found myself practicing it regularly, sometimes randomly deciding on a night to bend some spoons. I've gone through about nine or ten bags of silverware because I enjoy practicing on my own, outside of the spoon bending parties hosted by Zenka. However, I realized that doing it repeatedly led me to build up expectations about the results. I started thinking the bends needed to be in cooler shapes or more impressive each time. This shift in mindset made me recognize the importance of giving myself a break. I understood that having a specific outcome in mind can create a mental block, not just in spoon bending but in life overall. Wanting something too intensely can hinder the natural flow and prevent it from happening. By staying relaxed and open, without rigid expectations, I found that I could better allow things to unfold naturally.
