The PK Parties have been extremely successful because more
than 857. 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. Ever: 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 at

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
the hardest step for most of us to learn)
(this is
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.
0.
Do your own car body work.
The list is limitless. Think about the many ways you can
apply this ability to your life.
