Default It is not the Spoon that bends

"Do not try to bend the spoon, thats impossible, instead only try to realise the truth [...] there is no spoon, when you know that, you realise that it is not the spoon that bends. It is only yourself"
~ Spoken by a "potential" child from the movie, The Matrix

Today I had a fresh new insight onto this quote. So here goes.

The world outside of us, the external world cannot be effected by itself. There is no "Cause and effect" in fact, the world does not exist until mind percieves it. Thus mind effects the out reality, change the mind, change the reality. Bend yourself. Then the spoon too, will bend.

You are the one.....well, you are a part of the one.

Who am I? Who perceives this writing, this monitor screen?

Ah, heard this quote on tv two days ago. It's from The Matrix.
My opinion: The spoon doesn't bend anyway.
Only in fantastic movies or when you use dirty tricks like that Uri Geller guy.

Shamou, if you wanna bend that spoon, you're gonna have to bend your mind.
