Magic?
From Google dictionary:
mag·ic
/ˈmajik/
noun
noun: magic
- the power of apparently influencing the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces.
- mysterious tricks, such as making things disappear and appear again, performed as entertainment.
One is real. One is as real as Disney, yet with the power of the other, for they both operate on the same principles. Both require belief to become. Both require devotion to persist. Both create a vibration and a field that needs to be fed to manifest.
So back to the original question...
what is it?
"Magick with a k" implies the ancient core spiritual practices and systems of understanding that link to every religion and spiritual organization in the world at their foundations.
The most evolved and powerful vibrational beings to have existed on Earth have all been practitioners of high magick. It is at the core roots of all systems of belief and spirituality across all cultures. Abraham, Enoch and Moses were masters of the Kabbalah, Jesus practiced ascension magick as an Essene, Buddha had the Dzogchen, Muhammad immersed in the Sufi as he built his inner and outer empire. The Vedas are the ancient core text of Hinduism explaining how the universe works through magickal processes. All tribal shamanic and spiritual practices around the world operate under and with these same principles as well.
The foundation for the ideas and practices of magick are found at the crossroads of all of the spiritual teachings in the world and has been overlapping with science at every point in its emergent growth as a new form of concrete alchemical explanation over the past 700 years. Science comes into play when we achieve the permanent understanding of processes of beings defining objectivity as dimensionality while negating aspects of subjectivity. Science is merely descriptions of understood magickal operations of the universe in a common form and context.
So what is magick?
Finding such an answer is like explaining the word wind or love or infinity, for it requires its own definitions and ways of understanding to truly get it.
In order to even be able to understand, you have to deconstruct what you believe to be true and real at many different fundamental levels in your mind and be able to fully accept non-ordinary states of consciousness and being.
So to truly grok it, you have to let go of who you think you are...
Our culturally created self is our most fierce defender of the norms, and it holds the role of ego/gatekeeper. The norms being those aspects of reality that are to be trusted and counted on regardless of their scientific truths. This applies to cultural upbringing, morals and values as much as it does just being in the human morphogenic field and having limits to your body or perceiving gravity.
So to begin to understand magick, you have to deconstruct yourself and what you believe is real.
For example, let's look at the overwhelmingly validating aspect of the placebo effect.
“Placebos are extraordinary drugs. They seem to have some effect on almost every symptom known to mankind, and work in at least a third of patients and sometimes in up to 60 percent."☆
This example shows us the amazing power of mind as the creator running on conscious and unconscious aspects to create and heal the physical body. Often in medical studies, the goal is to beat the percentage of the placebo to show a medication's effectiveness. A placebo in a medical study is a sugar pill or a medication that will have no effect on the participant, but the amazing part about it, is that very often, just the suggestion and idea that the pill or medication will produce the desired effect makes it actually happen. So the idea essentially is to beat the power of the mind to show that the medication is effective, almost treating the aspect of mind being the creator as an anomaly or as a problem to be overcome instead of a strength to be harnessed.
Science seeks to dispel magical thinking and giving belief to something without understanding by harnessing reason and creating logic to give it a firmament to spring from. In reality, science perpetually seeks to define magick in mundane terms. This concrescence of logic has given science to the conservation of magick and alchemical processes by defining reality into an accepted construct of definite shape and form.
So after I deconstruct my culturally created self, what is magick?
Magick is the basis for spiritually understanding the way the holographic interconnected universe moves at all levels of our understanding with principles, laws, and structures of our total reality that function at the quantum/micro realms to the universal/macro realms interchangeably. The ability to use this information to co-create reality with the All is the application of magick.
All high magick is intended towards the great work, which is the aim of all religions and spiritual organizations, known in other forms as enlightenment. This is seen as the total perfection of self, the clearing of all parts of self to completely actualize one's life to it's fullest.
Seems easy enough...
Seriously though, it is all around us at all times, co-creating the world around us with each belief, every breath, and every step.
How would the world be if we all treated each moment as magickal as it truly is?
It would change instantly.
And so it begins and ends with each of us, with every thought and every construct of mind, we create with and as the all.
As we allow this now, it becomes, and so it is.
Find the eternal magick of each instant.
It is our destiny.
