What is Magic?

Magic is believing in yourself when no one else does. Magic is knowing someone, somewhere always does believe in you. It is a state of being. It is a place that conveys and emanates pure protection and safety. In this enchanted realm, we have guides that guard and guide us. We have angels, animal totems, ascended masters, spirit beings, loved ones. There is a perfect Plan that a Universal Intelligence known as Goddess/God/Creator/The Great Mystery, etc. has created. We are the rays emanating from that Divine Source - we are an extension of perfection and love. We cannot make mistakes. We cannot be lost. We cannot be found. Just as every flower in a wild field is there in its perfect place to give forth its own unique beauty, we too, are always in the exact right place at the exact right time. So be beautiful.

Magic happens when we remember who we are. The wholeness of our being is an extension of a benevolent Father/Mother God that loves us so completely, because Love is all It is. We have never left our divinity or home because it lives within us. Our source is the creator of everything -- and we are the exact likeness of our source. Therefore, we create everything in our lives. The remembering of this innate creative power is magic. It is a tingling of knowingness that no matter what the world looks like, as spiritual beings we are constantly creating, constantly evolving pure love and will always be.

How can love ever be damaged? It has absolutely no opposite that compares to its power. With our free will we can choose to perceive ourselves as victims, damaged or afraid. But that is an illusion. This life is but a dream. We are here to play. Play with each other, with the elements, with nature, and animals. Some lessons and experiences will hurt. Some illusions are quite powerful. Let them be and pass through you. We are here to experience incarnation and weave the infinite beauty of our entire Divine essence into our lives. We are here to shine, to sparkle.

In Magic, in Play we discover the lightness of being. Through the elements we can know this physical body and find the precious divinity within our humanity. With nature we hear, see, feel, smell, and touch the Divine unmasked. In our animal friends we find examples of the deepest truths within our souls. With each other we learn about relationships that help us toward better understanding ourselves. We see our personalities and its limitations. We find ways to be true to our unique voice and way of being.

However, the one place that offers the most is your mirror. In your mirror you will find your teacher. In your mirror you will find a love that brings tears to your eyes and encapsulates you in a wholeness with all that is and shall ever be.
Through those eyes in the mirror, find Love and you will find Magic.

Blessings,
Jamie
