The great drama being played out on the stage of life is certainly full of every kind of possibility and the stage provides each of us with ample opportunity to immerse ourselves in any imagination we can concoct...we are all magicians after all. Some might take issue with that but, in truth, if we will understand the ideas available in the study of quantum phenomena we would discover that the "material" of our Universe is better identified as mind stuff and so theoretically, since we all seem to have minds, we can easily "create", and do so, simply by thinking. Thinking produces frequencies which produce the geometry of specific vibration and subsequent manifestation in the field of physical being...it's the pattern of the One that we each inherit, so to speak. In my mind, that makes us all magicians since we can all agree that thinking is something we all do.
OK. So, what is mind stuff? My sense is that mind stuff is the geometricly patterned manifestation of the frequencies that are called into being by virtue of the process of self recognition in the field of action. In other words, a self thinks a thought, thinks many thoughts, each of which appear as a frequency of energy or force which is then personalized through the, let us say, the location of a self, the "I" or the "eye", in a dimensional medium of some sort...call it the space/time continuum, and this self is then free to concentrate any and all frequencies into it's own "vortex" and does so by virtue of its attention. Ultimately, this field is one interconnected being but the joy of life is shared in the infinity of manifestational potential by unnumbered beings who are the offspring of That which Is.
The idea of magic(k) has to do with the ability or power to exert influence over a "distance". This is a simple enough concept and the fact that thought produces a force that acts upon the field of being can be proven clinically and, in fact, we see it working everyday as the events of our lives unfold. (For information regarding the viable research that has been done over the years as to the power resident in each of us, read The Source Field Investigations by David Wilcock). There is not a moment that passes that we are not somehow involved in the attempt to both exert and receive influence.
I understand that there are two ways to approach self realization: One, is by virtue of the active stance, doing, taking action, even pursuing experience, like a magician might be doing and Two, the path of non action, like the ascetic in the cave who prefers to turn completely inward and allow the current of life to carry him without any resistance. Personally, I see the integration of these two possiblities as the third option and the one that I myself have adopted and practice to the best of my ability at any given moment. Being in the world, for most of us, requires taking action for many reasons all through each day, but suppose for a moment that you could sense yourself always at the center of your "vortex" inasmuch as you could always maintain that awareness of the stillpoint centeredness in the midst of any and all external disturbance or distortion. This state is within us all even though we may define it differently. If we would allow ourselves to listen to others, to life's many vibrational qualities, to the reflections of our queries of life as they play themselves out in the world that we are instantaneously and simultaneously co-creating, then would we not want to use our magic, our energy, to add to the beauty that exists in the world through the template of the "divine man" that is our true nature and is the basis of all DNA? Fear is the only barrier to expansion but it is a paper dragon that is imagined to have great power and some who use their magic to intimidate, decieve, and control have promulgated their own fears and snared most of mankind through their unending grasping, bringing many to a similar level of perceptual interpretation. The manipulation of information has been the stranglehold these sorcerers have used to keep blinders on the "muggles", so to speak. They have used the knowledge of the sacred to profane the material universe but then, where would we be without them? They have played their part in the third dimensional drama that is necessary for our mass awakening. Praise to the enemy! Remember, we are one being expressing many faces and environments for the fulfilment of our desires and the gathering of wisdom through experience.
Imagination can be parsed into I-magic-in-action. Eye-magic is nothing more than the natural tendency that each of us has to put images to the words we think, so to speak. It is true that a picture is worth a thousand words and so an image is a condensed packet of information and so as we use our imaginations to conjure desirable circumstances, as we see them, as we form them in our minds and feel their reality, we start them on their journey into our present level of physical density. Negating this action by indulging in doubt or fear of some kind or another will create resistance to the manifestation and slow its fulfillment. It is good to know that we do it all to ourselves, the good and the bad...it lets everyone off the hook, but it is wise to make the effort to allow life to guide one's heart so that the experiences that come are as close as possible vibrationally to the Central Sun of the Being that Is.
Whether we believe in magick or not it appears very obvious to me that we are energy beings who are in a constant flow of movement, pattern, color, and chaos which all finds a coherent expression in the middle of what appears to be an infinitely vast universe...it all happens right there in our own mind's eye. To me, that's Magick.
