Do You Believe in Magic?

Part III: You Can Do Magic



In our first blog on this subject, we reviewed recent history in which writers and poets spoke of magic from varied perspectives bringing relatively occult ideas and worlds to light. Some of them even learned to radiate magic through their own minds, eyes, and hands.

Next, we discussed noteworthy individuals who uncovered some of nature’s magic and then became intentional about bringing aid to the sick and injured. From Paracelsus to D.D. Palmer, we saw how modern healers used magic aka magnetism to restore health to those in need.

Now in this essay, we endeavor to cover the Big Picture which includes you and me. We can recognize that a wonderful part of the story can move through our very own hands.

Heart

Magic and Magnetism have been at work in our very midst from the beginning. The sacred scriptures speak of that Magical Creation:

In Hinduism, the Lord Shiva was the source of the primordial sound that initiated creation. The goddess Saraswati and the Gandharvas played key roles in creation myths. Their sounds are the origin of all vibration and energy which led to the formation of the cosmos.

“In the beginning was the Word …”
“All things were made through the Word.”
“And God said, ‘Let there be Light.’”

The Bible might more accurately have pronounced that the Creator “began” to say. As it was in the beginning, so it continues to be eons hence. But, humans living more and more in artificial rather than natural environs have lost touch in many ways. In general, we no longer entertain conscious awareness and understanding of the magic which is constantly creating and re-creating all things.

The human form is being continuously built and rebuilt until one’s last breath. That is not a simple process which results mysteriously through the eating of food. In fact “Man does not live by bread alone.” And, man really requires no bread to live “but by every Word which proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4

This is all magically accomplished as the ethers, prana, mana are constantly transformed into visible substance by Mind. The name of those forces is quite “immaterial.” But, the fact is – that the visible, tangible, sensible worlds were and are made from that which does not appear.

Then, we take another step considering the simple but mind-boggling truth that “Man was made in the image and likeness” of the Creator. As the Creative Forces build and rebuild worlds, beings, and humans – so too, we can take active part in that process.

No university degrees are required to help a neighbor in financial need. Similarly, no special dispensation is required for one human being to become an instrument of healing for another who is sick or lame. The creative and re-creative, transformative and healing processes are in constant ready for willing and caring humans to take part.

We reiterate that all creation, re-creation, and healing – in the truest sense – are the result of Magic. That Magic is constant and continuous. It may have a beginning but has no end – for there is no end. “World without end.” That fact may give some comfort to those who fear death. For there is no death, only change of state. Then, we repeat after Saint Paul:

“If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.”
1 Corinthians 15:44

Material, physical forms are sustained by spiritual bodies – which are really multiple – being etheric, emotional, mental and causal. Each night, as at death, we escape our physical bodies to exist solely in our subtle spirit bodies. Few of us are capable of bringing back remembrance of activities during the hours of physical rest. Sylvan Muldoon, Robert Monroe, and Oliver Fox among others learned to consciously part from their bodies at will and bring back memories on their return.

From a similar perspective, our physical bodies are undergirded in health and illness by those spirit bodies and the subtlest of forces. When all bodies are in harmonious relationship, health is inevitable and obvious. When they  are out of sync, illness results.

All too often, we humans act unconsciously to disturb and disrupt the intricate relationships which maintain us – spiritual, mental, and emotional beings –  in outer forms. Furthermore, at key points in our lives, we all experience “dis-eased” conditions which are due to the expansive, transformative powers of the Oversoul. At those times, the Higher Self seeks to mature humans while attracting them closer to finer levels of Divine Life and Love.

“The visible world is governed and preserved by the invisible.”
Sebastiani Wirdig

Spirit and Nature are constantly at work building, rebuilding and restoring bodily forms. And they do by far the greatest part of the work in dealing with any illness or injury. That work is quite Magical, as subtle forces mysteriously bring our bodies back into flowing alignment. That Magic mobilizes the invisible sometimes dramatically to emulate in real time the creative functions of the macrocosm and the microcosm.

The next step is to focus Magic consciously to aid in restoring harmony and thus health to those in need. We all are channels of creative force and can become instruments of subtle powers to lift and aid, harmonize and heal others.


Now, we take the opportunity to announce our new website which has the mission is to lead all interested readers to become healers and benefactors in their own families and communities. We invite you visit https://healingmagick.net. Peruse and study there as you wish at any time and in any order. The material presented there is foundational to a broad understanding of Healing and Magic, and Healing Magick. In the near future, we will post a course in Universal Health and Healing.

All this is available without cost. We invite questions, comments, suggestions and corrections. While broad and essential in nature, this is still a work in progress.
