Michael Crichton on Spoon Bending "... Of all the things I wrote about, spoon bending seems to stick in the rationalist throat. It just bugs people. I don't know why.

I don't know why spoon-bending occurs. I have no explanation. I can't describe it any better than I did in the book. But I have no doubt that it occurs. More than seeing adults bend spoons (they might be using brute force to do it, although if you believe that I suggest you try, with your bare hands, to bend a decent-weight spoon from the tip of the bowl back to the handle. I think you'd need a vise.)

But to see a little kid of 8 or 10 running around with a thick bar of aluminum that he has bent-not a lot, but enough so that if you roll it on a table, it doesn't roll flat-is to realize that whatever is going on, it's not brute force. I think that spoon bending is not "psychic" or bugga-bugga. It's something pretty normal, but we don't understand it. So we deny its existence.

Jack Houck, the aerospace engineer who has run these sessions for years, has an article on his experience over the years, and his own explanation for why it occurs, at http://www.tcom.co.uk/hpnet/houck1.htm

Uri Geller, Andrija Puharich, and "Remote Viewing"

Download and read this FREE BOOK... a VERY INTERESTING READ!:

Memories of a Maverick  A biography of Andrija Puharich, M.D. LLD. internationally acclaimed American scientist, inventor, researcher, physicist, theorist, and author - of heart failure, in North Carolina. Editor of "THE ICELAND PAPERS" (Select Papers on Experimental and Theoretical Research on the Physics of Consciousness) 1979. Dr. Puharich was a leader in the field of psychical research, merging quantum mechanics and relativity into a new scientific world-view to examine the way in which brain/mind function gives rise to a focused consciousness.

An excerpt from the book where it recounts his experiences with Uri Geller:

"I believe these are intelligent powers and they are somehow directed through me. I am a sort of channel," said Geller.

"Although the "voice" had at first strongly objected to a scientific investigation of Uri's powers, Andrija had insisted. He felt that if Uri were to make his way in the world by simple demonstrations, he would always be treated like a magician. How could he deliver the message about the space landing as an illusionist? He would never be taken seriously. More than anything else, Andrija wanted him to be validated in a scientific institute.

"In August 1972, he called Uri back from Europe to start the research program. Uri agreed reluctantly. They flew to Germantown, Maryland, to meet with Dr. Wernher von Braun, to San Francisco, to Stanford University, and back to the East Coast to meet some more scientists.

The experiments at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) were conducted by Russell Targ, a specialist in lasers and plasma research, and by Dr. Harold Puthoff, a specialist in quantum physics. They were sufficiently impressed to warrant further investigation.

"A full-page report of the experiments appeared in the National Enquirer:

"A young Israeli who can apparently bend metal with his mind has undergone rigidly controlled experiments at a leading research institute. The top scientists who tested him admit they cannot explain his amazing 'powers.' The experiments were 'cheat-proof' and the scientists reported that Geller participated in experiments where the probability that anyone could have done what he did was one in a million, and in another test, one in a trillion."

"Geller amazed the scientists when he made a balance placed in a bell jar respond as though a force was applied to it - without touching the balance. A chart recorder monitoring the balance showed that Geller somehow produced a force ten to a hundred times greater than could be produced by striking the bell jar, or the table, or jumping on the floor."

and further on the book states:

"Lest the reader believes that he is witness to a startlingly new discovery, I want to caution him that he is just seeing some of the oldest wine packaged in shiny new bottles. Take the subject of remote viewing. It has an ancient and honorable history. We have intact today the records of "remote viewing" experiments of some 3500 years ago during the Shang Dynasty of China. These are called the Oracle bones because the record of the experiment was inscribed on the scapular bones of various animals. In North America there is a particularly good collection of Shang Dynasty Oracular Bones available for study at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada." Memories of a Maverick
