OUR MAGICAL UNIVERSE

It seems as if by magic that our universe is so precisely tuned to mathematical perfection from the quantum to the cosmic that life is inevitable.

It is magic, and we, children of the universe, are participants. We are magical creatures.

Ephemeral in our experience, stealthy, unpredictable, uncontrollable, but undeniably real — Magic. When we recognize it’s presence, we begin to participate in it in wondrous ways.

Not to be relegated to superstition, or “evil”, magic surrounds us and calls to be recognized for what it is, and understood as much as possible. Those who pray, pray for magic to occur, i.e., for an unexplainable event to occur that alters this material “reality”. That is magic. Those who pray attribute the answers to “God”.

God is the ultimate magician.

Perhaps our biggest problem with magic is identifying it when it occurs. Magic often happens in front of our faces, and we fail to recognize it for what it is. We miss it because we deny it. “Those things can’t happen”. But, they do, routinely.

Those who know me know I do not like the concept of “belief”. I much prefer factually supported knowledge, even if our facts grow out of personal experience that we can’t put into words, but give us certain knowledge through experience. As Jung said, “NO. I do not ‘believe’ in God. I KNOW GOD.” And, he did. I do not “believe” in magic. I KNOW magic. I have experienced it beyond any doubt.
