"Rubber like" is fine, I understand. It is still not possible in the real world. If it had been that hot, it would be discolored.
I don't know if it is worth the effort. I believe you believe this, but it is not possible, Edge, that a piece of metal can become rubbery because of some emanations from the mind.
Yes I agree it should not be possible. There was no discoloration.
Too bad you lost it. Is there any chance you were suffering from the heat, and frustration? I have no explanation for what you experienced, but I do know that what Geller claims is just lies. He uses magic tricks. It takes considerable 'power' to bend steel. Human minds cannot send this kind of power...it just is not physically possible.
No Just frustration. The houses that I did were on the average about 300 lineal feet, I got paid by the foot, this house as I remember was small, about 225 feet or so, it was the size where you get off early and kind of take a loss on.
Also I called it the house of corners, that slows you down, it sat on the other side of a barrier island, lots of driving to get to it, down U.S.1 to a causeway to get to the other side then down a ways to the house.
That’s a loss too but you have to take it like that sometimes as a favor.
There are always hoaxers that ruin thins in any thing considered paranormal, which nullifies real studies.
I knew all that even at that time, that people like Geller, were fakes.
There is such a thing as "false memory" too. It has happened to me. Some weird combination of dreams and experiences and embellishing on the experience.
We do not certainly know everything about the world, but I am certain that the mind cannot bend metal.
"Grounding" has nothing to do with anything. You cannot just have this either/or (grounded or mind) type of mindset here.
I thought I was certain too.
I would think that grounding might, earth energy’s seeping in to the house or lightning strikes near by. But none of that was happening.
You can’t dream when working like this or you probably would start to cut fingers off with the tools trip and fall ect…you have to be fully aware of your surroundings and obstacles at the site, I couldn’t afford to miss work.
It was a regular regiment.
No dreams, no false memories, just an easier normal day, no heat exestuation either, just frustration.
I don't think it sounds "crazy", Edge, but it sounds like you don't understand physics at all. Making these claims when you have no evidence for them, and you lost the "magic driver" that could have changed the world of physics, is a little on the crazy side though. The bend point could have been analyzed and it could have been proven that the metal had been heated, or not, at this point.
Trust me it wasn’t heated, but I thought it was.
The dry wall guy would have dropped it; I know this because I have worked with metals now and before then in steel mills, which would have been obvious.
We do a lot of metal type work now, we use torches and welders, different kinds for all the different metals, all the time now.
I think you should carefully consider if perhaps somehow, not sure how, you could be mistaken about the "rubbery" nature of the metal. I'm trying my best here to help out.
It was two feet away from my face at first I thought my eyes are crossed, till I looked closer and focused and re-focused, moving in closer and backing off.
That reminds me, my wife and I had a similar experience. We had a set of car keys we both used occasionally, for a car only about a year old. We hadn't dropped them, stepped on them, damaged them or done anything unusual, and the locks all worked easily.
I put the key in the trunk to open it one day, it worked normally and the trunk opened right away, but my wife pointed out as soon as I let go that the key was bent. I pulled it out, and sure enough, it was obviously bent to one side. The trunk had unlocked easily so I knew I hadn't put any more than normal light pressure on the key.
We both thought, "huh," decided that at some point the key had been damaged or turned harder than normal even though we didn't remember it, and bent it back with a hammer on cement. I'd forgotten about the whole incident until now.
Same kind of mystery. Yet it didn't have the context of a paranormal situation--no frustration or emotion, no shock, just a mild puzzle. Misremembered damage? Weak metal? The ability to bend keys with my mind before an average grocery trip? Who knows.
I think it shows, though, that a lot of odd stuff happens in life, but the incident itself isn't as significant as the person's reaction to it.
The difference between you and I is, that what you describe has also happened to me with keys, but in my instance I got to see it happening.
That driver wasn’t weak at all, matter of fact it was the strongest I had at the time, I destroyed many drivers usually breaking the handles.
You may have slammed it with the trunk lid and it may have fell in after or when you opened it.
Had I not seen it happening I wouldn’t even had brought it up?
I made three movies and I can’t get them on U-Tube through this new computer.
When I try, my computer is telling me I need a high-speed USB port to up-load it on here first.
My old one has one so I have to operate on two computers to do it.
That may take a little time, but I will get it done soon.
Hopefully they are compatible it was an add-on to the old computer for the same reason.
I didn’t think that this computer would need it.
(My mind set at the time)
I replaced the piece once with a piece of scrap J channel I had on my truck, I couldn’t do that again with out coming back to the house that would have been a loss, a loss in fuel and in time.
I had to be really careful on my next attempt, and I was.
I remember going to the truck for it and that’s when the chisel fell out, so I used the driver as a back up, for this part of the application the chisel worked better.
Using the driver that was still in my tool belt saved me a walk again and time.
In my mind I was thinking don’t ruin the J and what was ruined was the driver it’s like there was a barrier and the screw driver was compensating for the force that I was applying.
I was applying a slight down ward pressure and sliding it along the J channel to get it in.
The place on the driver that bent was nowhere near the J or the tip of the screwdriver.
At one point after the incident I realized that the last piece was about an eighth of an inch too wide and after ripping it down again that it would lock in, which it did that is because the carpenters did not have the entry way square. So one side of that last piece was wider slightly, than the other.
What we do when running a house down here in hell is, to run in the shadow of the house and I have had heat effect me and my helper before, but that’s when the house is over 400 lineal feet an average house of 300 feet usually is no problem, as long as we time the sun and shadows correctly and you get there early enough to beat the heat.
There is always one side of the house you have to run in the sunshine, if your fast enough there’s no problem relief comes from the shadow when you get back in it, and entry way is in the shadow of itself always.
I don’t consider my self-special or anything but when I review the things in my life that I have witnessed I have to wonder.
My main thought is, what are our brains and we evolving towards?
