Life is Magic – Magic is Life

Philosophically, life is magical. On the other hand, the reality is—life is magical. The universe, seen and unseen, is reflective in its primary essence, which makes magic a natural phenomenon. What is viewed as a coincidence or a synchronicity (meaningful coincidences) are the effects of this magical phenomenon. Even though Jung coined the term synchronicity as “a significant coincidence of physical and psychological phenomena that are acausal connected,”[i] his thinking was wrong on the reality of such happenings. This was especially true when he connected synchronicity with “grace.”  Grace is a Christian theological term denoting divine gifts without which human salvation would be impossible. This is Christian brainwashing with no truth in reality. In contrast to grace, we have compassion, which comes from within us, whereas grace comes from outside us as divine gifts from a judgmental Christian God.

Compassion is magical. Grace is fear mongering. With a reflective universe, our compassionate act will be reflected back to us in some way. Possibly in a manner that seemingly has no connection with our act in the first place. For a very simple example of the reflective phenomena, look in a mirror and smile; what do you see? A smiling face. Now look in the same mirror and frown; what do you see reflected back to you? Why of course, a frown.

Have you ever asked yourself why, many women who get divorced end up with another male or female who have the same traits as their first mate—different face, same essence? The answer, reflective magic is happening but probably many would call this magic, “black magic,” if you know what I mean.

Consciousness

It’s been more than one hundred years since Max Planck, the theoretical physicist who originated quantum theory, which won him the Nobel Prize in Physics, said that he regards “consciousness as fundamental,” that he regards “matter as a derivative from consciousness,” and that “everything we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.”

In other words, consciousness intertwines or interpenetrates matter: Consciousness (Divine Mind) does not exist alone. It interpenetrates the other five elements of earth, water, fire, air, and space. In other words, divine consciousness is within all things of the seen (matter) and unseen (spirit) worlds.

It stands to reason that a portion of the reflective essence of reality (seen and unseen) is consciousness. Additionally, quantum physics has shown that the observer creates the reality. As observers, we are personally involved with the creation of our own reality. Physicists are being forced to admit that the universe is a “mental” construction. Pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans wrote: “The stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter; we ought to rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter.”[ii]

Since everything is interconnected in a web of consciousness, our thoughts and actions have effects that are more far-reaching and profound than we think. Magic is happening but is it really what you want?

Connected with this concept of the reflective nature of the universe are space, time, fate and destiny. Philosophically, there is no future. There is only past, non-past and present. These along with fate and destiny, I will discuss in a future post.
