It perplexes me why men have created secret organizations and entire lives devoted to the learning how to perform magic. Through ritual, dogma or other alchemical process of transmutation of evil into good, vise versa or even the magic of the miracle of modern science and technology.
When you remember way back to your childhood wonder, or if you are lucky enough to be a parent you can look in the eyes of your child. If nothing else you can look into the mirror. Realizing the magic that takes place in every instant as your spirit speaks your flesh into physical being in an ever present transitional moment point within the individual and mass psyche of our race.
The body is composed of living, responding atoms and molecules. These have their own consciousnesses alive in matter, their drive to exist and be within the framework of their own nature. The body is often closer to the soul than the mind is because it automatically grows as a flower does, trusting its nature. Many times independently of our limited beliefs about it, which separates it from the nature from which all life springs.
The inner self keeps the physical body alive even as it formed it. The miraculous constant translation of spirit into flesh is carried on with inexhaustible energy by these inner portions of being, but in all cases the inner self looks to the conscious mind for its assessment of the body’s condition and reality.
The true magic in life is realizing how fortunate we each are to be able to experience the corporeal perceptions and the contrast of our experiences through such complex biological expressions of living art.
Yet, this eternal and wonderous miracle is completely missed by all in what seems like an ever repeating morality play. Where the similarities we share which are full of loving hope for mankind are ignored, and the differences eccentuated for the wrong reasons.
Instead of seeing the differences that portray each one’s, and culture’s unique individuality. We see and point out the differences that reflect our own fears and the projections of what we see in others, their race or culture; that we feel are their own, their race or cultures lacks.
I have come to believe that all of this is an affect of our one line of consciousness way of perception, and that we have chosen this as a learning process to lead inevitably to a more evolved and deeper way to percieve our lives, each other and the mass events of our world. This will be a natural change in our neurological process and with the expansion of consciousness that some people call the awakening.
Some of us see one another searching for answers to the madness and fear taking place in the world as fear and distrust once again. We also see that each one of us is an eternal child, born ageless and our hearts are big enough to know there is faith to be had in mankind. That there is love, and all the hate you see is merely the lack of it.
One thing that we all can do is take some quiet time to reflect on ourselves and breathe each day in quiet. We are each where we are at, and most of us that seem to be so worked up are really safe in a first world country commenting on the small glimpses they have seen of a place that doesn’t really have any first hand effect on their safety or the harmony of their respective lives.
