The PK Parties have been extremely successful
because more
than
85/C of the nearly
1,000 attendees have experienced
the
metal
becoming warm and
soft
in
their
hands.
The PK Parties
are also replicable because more than
75 parties,
run by
other
individuals have produced the same
level
of
success.
Many people ask
"What
are you going
to
do with
the things you
are learning
at
PK Parties?"
and
"What
is the purpose
of
bending silverware?"
This paper
is
an attempt
to answer both
questions.
First
the PK Parties are the first reliable and replicable
experiment
in paranormal
phenomena.
Thus they provide
a
tremendous opportunity to conduct controlled experiments
within
an ongoing PK Party.
I
have been conducting
an
increasing number
of
these controlled experiments and believe
that
significant
learning
is taking
place.
Furthermore,
so
much
can be learned about people from the parties.
Even
though
I
have no training
in psychology,
I
feel
that
I have
learned much
about people and how to help them experience the
unusual.
The PK Parties have been useful
as
a method
of
finding people with exceptional
abilities.
However
the
parties clearly demonstrate that everyone can do these
unusual
things.
It
is true that some people are more capable
than others.
The analogy
I
use
is that
it
is like tennis.
There are natural
athletes.
If
you give one
a tennis racket
and
he only plays tennis once
a
year,
he will
always be
an
average tennis player.
However
if
this natural
athlete were
to take the game seriously and train
with
lessons and much
practice,
he could become
an excellent
player.
Even
a
non-athlete can become
a reasonable tennis player with
training.
To date,
identifying excellent metal
benders has
not produced any exceptional
feats.
Once
I
gathered
a group
of
better
than average metal
benders together
for
an
attempt
at remote bending
of
an object with
no one touching
it.
Nothing happened.
I
suspect part
of
the problem was
that
each wanted
to be the
"star"
and
they were not able
to work
together coherently.
Even
after
50 PK Parties
I
am
still
learning how to run them better
and
learning about
the
phenomena by observing what happens.
Most
importantly,
I
enjoy seeing others experience bending
metal
and finding
for themselves that
even
they can do
something that previously they had thought
was either magic
(fraud)
or was something only
"special
people" could
do.
For
many this
is
a
real
revelation.
The people
learn
that
with
the right
mental
attitude and technique,
they can
do
anything!
They also learn that everyone
is
a
"special
person."
I
have found that people who experience bending
metal
for themselves realize that
our current physics does
not
explain everything
and
it gets
their
attention
so that

least
some
of
them begin
to think
about how they
can apply
what
they have learned
to their
lives.
The purpose
of
bending
silverware
at
a PK Party
is for
learning.
Most
people perfect
the technique
in
a single
party.
Once they get the technique down,
then they should
understand how they can apply
it
to anything they want
to do
in their
lives.
The important
ingredients are:
1)
make
a
mental
connection
to the object
you want
to affect
or
the
goal
you want
to achieve,
2)
command
it
to do what you want,
and
3)
then release that
thought
and
go about
your business
knowing
it
will
happen.
It
sounds too simple but
it
works.
It even
sounds like the good old power
of
positive thinking.
If
identifying
the applications
of
PK
as being
able to do
anything
is too general
for
you,
then the following
list may
help
with more specifics:
1.
Heal
others.
2.
Set
and achieve your
goals.
3.
Reduce your stress by learning
to release
(this
is
the hardest
step
for
most
of
us
to
learn)
4.
Improve your ability
in
sports.
5.
Bend
or disable any threatening
weapon.
6.
Improve your
learning
skills.
7.
Have the ability
to
lift
a
car
off
someone
if
necessary.
Do
your
own
car
body work.
The
list
is
limitless.
Think
about
the many ways you can
apply this ability to your
life.
