Magic

From one of my teachers:

"If you do not believe in magic, your life will not be magical. Magic, like the power of Stonehenge, is part of the unknowable - that which you cannot describe, but which exists and makes your life extraordinary. It is part of the goodness of your spirit. It is that mysterious and intriguing part of your spiritual life. Magic is what we are all looking for, but if you try to hold it and name it and describe it, you will lose it. You must talk around magic, describe what led you there, and give thanks for that part of the universe that is unknowable and full of color and strength and magic. Out of relationship comes magic. Out of the mists of dawn and the mysteries of creation comes the magic that we call life. Out of your passion for existence comes magic." (Magic card The Power Deck)


Right now, more than ever, we need to have sacred circles in our lives. We need to be very aware and very conscious of the challenges we face all across our earth, and we must all participate in resolving these challenges in a way that promotes harmony and balance in the world. This is not the time to stick your head in the sand.

We are birthing a new paradigm into the world at this very moment. It is a paradigm which is based on balance between the sacred masculine and the sacred feminine, as the patriarchy struggles and dies and the goddess returns to our world. It is a paradigm which is based on personal responsibility rather than the culture of victim-hood.

We need magic to go through this gateway. Magic is what makes our lives extraordinary. We need to own our power instead of letting others own our power for us. We need to enrich our power as we gather with others of like mind, who are also taking their power in a sacred way. Magic shows us how to do that, for magic comes from the goodness of your spirit. We cannot get through this gateway without goodness of spirit, it is that simple.

When I speak about power, I am not talking about control over anyone or anything in terms of manipulation and domination. I am speaking of power as the energy that flows between all things. I am speaking of power as the understanding of the spiritual energy that flows through all things.

Over and over again, I have spoken of the Great Dreamer awakening. In a very real sense, that is what is causing all of the stress that surrounds us. We are going through a shift, and no matter how urgently that shift is needed, change never comes easily. Just look at the enormity of Spring storms, at the huge amount of energy that is needed to push through the frigid temperatures so that the earth can thaw out and life within her reawaken.

Even when we so urgently want change, humans do a funny thing when change is actually upon us. We hold on! We hold on to what is familiar, even when we know it is not working. Holding on is a process of mind that is born in fear. And that makes it even worse. So when you find that you are holding on to old habits, old ideas, old ways that you know are no longer working, take a good look at the fear that is behind your holding on. Your fear is what needs to be shifted.

How do you let go of fear? You shape-shift out of it, that's what you do. You shape-shift out of fear by becoming educated about what it is you fear. Once you learn about something, you discover that it is no longer scary, because then you can begin to learn what it is you have to do to make it right for you. Understanding comes, and you find that you are actually able to relax into the moment. That is when you find yourself on the other side of fear. You begin to say "Yes" to all of the life, light and joy that are available to you in the absence of fear. Contrary to what we have been told, fear does not make you stronger; it weakens you terribly.

"Truth is the only purity. The energy that you have been feeling is a kind of truth; in actuality it is a force. Most people on earth think that the physical world and the spirit world are combined, that they are one and the same.

"They also think that force or energy is part of the material world and is usually produced by it. But I will tell you this. The force that you have felt in your dreams is a pervading energy that people the world over are feeling and do not understand. They experience the energy as a ‘speeding up.' Their lives are moving faster and they can barely keep up with their shifts in consciousness and the needs of everyday life.

"They don't understand that spirit is increasing their needs so that new mirrors can be formed. These mirrors are teachers if only the people will have the courage to look into them and learn. This is a time of great planetary change. Many of the great time calendars are ending now because we are entering a new age of wisdom. We have the possibility of creating a new world of heightened understanding. Many ancient truths will be revealed to you in the coming months. We live in a time of vision. The great libraries of knowledge will be opened to many from different paths and religions. There is much for you to learn, but truth is never reached without struggle on the human path."

We will be coming together to break down our own barriers and the barriers that are keeping people of spirit apart throughout the world. It is time to experience the thunder drums, the great Thunder Beings of thunder and lightening that bring illumination into our lives. We are in a time of reckoning. This entire year,in all of the many ways that have been gifted to us by spirit to bring us together; this entire year is about your commitment to self-realization, your understanding of where abundance truly comes from, and learning to place the gift of beauty in life into truth. Beauty is an aspect of God's creative force.
