How real is magic?

Here is one of the dictionary definitions of magic. A quality that makes something seem removed from everyday life, especially in a way that gives delight.

Granted, the above definition doesn’t delineate that aspect of the word magic that has to do with theatrics or apparent power. It does relate to the process of movement in your life that goes beyond your current beliefs. It also is a pointer in the direction of delight. Now, thats something that is really interesting to me, going beyond my current beliefs in a delightful way.

We are in an energy that has only those limits that we impose upon ourselves. If ever there is a time in our life that we can go beyond limiting thoughts and beliefs, it is now. Reality is a fuzzy thing. What is a dream one moment can become fact another. For instance, at one time in my life I thought that owning a Ferrari was an impossible dream. However, one day I was walking by the Ferrari car dealer and impulsively walked in. I found that Ferrari had produced a limited number of cars that were actually affordable. This was the first and only time Ferrari had done this and it lasted for only a few months. I needed a new car at the time, I had some money saved, and the opportunity was there, so I bought one. For me it was magical and it certainly gave me delight!

Well, we don’t have to find magic by buying a Ferrari but we can find magic in unforeseen ways as we march along our life path. The tricky thing is the unforeseen part. We need to recognize the magic as, or before, it happens. Then we can make it part of our life. We need to be open to the possibilities and not be dragged down by experience or local knowledge.

So, how can we attract magic? Like everything in life, attraction starts with thoughts and attitudes. Below are my thoughts that lead to magic for me. I would like to urge you to produce a list for yourself.

• Expect magic.
• Look for magic.
• Recognize magic when it finds you.
• Accept and respect the magic.
• Experience delight that magic happened.
• Integrate the magical result into your point of view.
• Use the integrated magical result.

Note that there is no work that leads to magic. Oops, there is a bunch of non physical attitudinal work involved. However, the important thing to realize is that it leads to delight and every once in a while, a Ferrari. It’s worth it!

Part of the human condition is to remember and believe what we experience. This makes it necessary for us humans to go beyond our limiting beliefs in order to cultivate magic. Another aspect of being human is to aspire to greater things. The trick is to mold our dreams or aspirations into an absolute knowing that it is there for us. One thing that today’s energy doesn’t support is a pollyanna attitude. That attitude stops us in our tracks because, neither the universe, or ourselves takes non productive attitudes seriously.

Magic is real. Let go of preconceptions and go for it!
