Welcome to the secret society of the mentalist mind

Not all minds that wander are lost, some are just on their way to discovering My Mind Rocks. – Ancient Oddsock Proverb (circa last Tuesday)

 Initiation begins

Dear you, yes you… The one with the eyebrows and drawers full of bent spoons. You’ve just uncovered the mentalist equivalent to a secret knock on a temple door to a sacred place on the internet.

Welcome to the My Mind Rocks Society.

This isn’t just a blog post, it’s an invitation to a secret society disguised as content. There’s no secret handshake yet but when we do get one, it will involve subtle eye contact, a psychic wink and a rubber chicken. Probably two! This is where the weird are welcome and the lines of reality get smudged with a Sharpie.

What is My Mind Rocks?

My Mind Rocks is a gathering place for:

Mind readers with peculiar ideas and psychic tricksters who believe in the power of ambiguity and Oddsocks.

One does not simply walk into the realm of My Mind Rocks.

One must tiptoe backwards through a riddle while wearing oddened socks. The Sock Oracle (probably)

It’s a hidden chamber behind the curtain of a community that’s built on echoes that smell like lavender and static electricity.

Ego’s are left at the wayside because My Mind Rocks is an inclusive community for anybody with an interest in mentalism, regardless of experience.

A weird looking guy wearing a helmet and shades

The gate is narrow, the path is winding and there is no actual door. You simply arrive, you belong here if you’ve ever:

Spacer

Said it’s just a trick but secretly believe in real magic.

Spacer

Created a routine at 3AM using spaghetti and a napkin.

Spacer

You write all your weird thoughts in a notebook full of unreadable diagrams and coffee rings.

Spacer

You don’t need to be famous, slick or beard strokingly mysterious. You just need to enjoy the art of mind games, suggestion, psychological dance and psychic theatre.

So How Do You Join?

Through the secret initiation ritual. Follow the steps below:

Spacer

The Official Unofficial Initiation Ritual

Spacer

for entry into the My Mind Rocks secret society:

Step 1: Prepare the sacred items

Spacer

Before you begin, gather the following:

Spacer

One mismatched sock: Preferably the left but more importantly the sock must not match anything, especially not your soul.

Spacer

A spoon: Preferably slightly bent or emotionally unstable.

Spacer

A mirror: Any size will do but you get bonus points if it’s haunted.

Spacer

A small marble: To represent the fragile nature of thought.

Spacer

Destiny: Your weirdest thought from the past 24 hours, written in permanent marker on your palm.

Spacer

Step 2: The chant of the mentalist mind

Spacer

Stand in front of the mirror, place the sock on your head like a crown. Hold the spoon in your dominant hand and the marble in the other.

Spacer

Now repeat the sacred chant three times:

Spacer

In My Mind Rocks, thoughts are revealed. Secrets whispered, madness sealed.

Sock upon skull, spoon in command. I join the tribe, both weird and grand.

Spacer

Raise the spoon each time you say command and try not to hit the lightbulb.

Spacer

Step 3: The gesture of invisible insight

Spacer

Still wearing your Sock Crown™ make the official society hand gesture:

Spacer

Point to your temple and tap your left foot seven times.

Then whisper a psychic prediction to the marble. 

Spacer

Step 4: Reveal your true name

Spacer

Every member must adopt their mystic performance name.

This is how you will be known within the shadowy halls of the society.

Spacer

To find yours:

Spacer

Take last thing you looked at this morning with a mystical sounding word from your favourite cereal box.

Spacer

Examples:

Spacer

Honey Oracle. Crunchy Seer of Fog. Spoon of Cinnamon Truth.

Spacer

Post your new name in the comments or send a note attached to a pigeon and hope it finds its way to Looch before Sunday.

Spacer

Step 5: The sock pact

Spacer

Finally, raise your sock to the sky and say:

Spacer

I vow to uphold the sacred chaos, to bend thoughts but not minds.

To use my powers for wonder, mystery and mild confusion.

Spacer

Place the sock somewhere important where it can watch over you:

Spacer

On your altar, your desk or your cat.

Spacer

Or you could just click the My Mind Rocks logo below and sign up there, completely bypassing all the ritual fluff I just created… Your choice!

    1. Hi Terry, thanks for taking the time to read and comment on my blog. I think the message I was trying to say with Kindness = Cleverness is that everybody’s kindness contributes to the creativity in the community. Kind of like it’s clever to be kind, my vocabulary sometimes plays hide and seek with me and when this happens I use the wrong words but I like your choice of words better so I’ll change that right now.
