In a very true sense that is like finding a reason to like flying into a
rage and considering it fun.
In both cases you are out of control. Both are symptoms of a deeper problem.
It isn't about an illusion, blowing lightbulbs is a sign your energy is out
of control and doing things you don't want it to do. Unless you are trying
to blow the bulbs, in which case you're doing a good job it would seem.
In a very repressive and restrictive sense it might help to practice
focusing the energy, either moving an object, or putting out a candle, or
even bending the flame (it should be inside a lamp of some kind so a breeze
isn't doing it for you). Most likely it is an emotional issue at its root.
You need to be cleaning up your emotional act more than anything. The blown
bulbs are just a symptom.
Traditionally meditation, pranayama, mantra, mudra, and prayer are the ways
to clean one's self out which avoid or relieve these kinds of problems.
Some find that to be too much work and not instant enough. But it has worked
for several thousand years, must have something going for it.
Namaste,
Joe
