On Magic

Real magic comes from the soul not the mind.

We have gotten use to thinking of magic as someone pulling a rabbit out of a hat or an illusionist sawing someone in half. But magic is much simpler than that. Magic is so common most of us don’t even recognize it when we see it. The rise of modern religions have relegated magic to either the stage or the dark side (Devil in some religions). Magic belongs to all of us regardless of what it is called. Magic like love does not change simply because of the name used to identify it.

How many times have you felt better just because someone smiled and said "Hello!"? That’s magic. Magic is the blooming of a flower, the growing of a weed. Magic is life as well as death. Magic is everywhere but most of us are too distracted to recognize it; too busy to appreciate it. Magic is no more evil than a miracle. Magic and miracle are the same thing but some religions have tried to evilize magic while glorifying miracles.

Magic is a simple prayer. Magic raises power to help a friend or a stranger. Magic is sending that power to a specific person with intent. Real magic is a prayer that reaches out to aid someone. Magic takes effort, concentration, and visualization and requires training and dedication. Real magic cannot be performed by most of us with predictable results without taxing the one performing the magic. Real magic connects us to a higher power so His, Hers, or Its energy becomes ours to direct for a short time and for a specific purpose. Real magic requires a deep desire, a strong intention, and realistic visualization. Real magic is more than positive thinking. Real magic comes from the soul not the mind. The driving power in magic is emotional not intellectual.

Real magic is our will and our emotions at work and unless done unselfishly, the results may be more harmful to the magic worker than to the magic receiver. Real magic requires purity of intent and a willingness to risk what we might interrupt as negative karma. Real magic must be raised and done with love not only of ourselves but also of the other person.
