Magic

Many of us have been taught to be skeptical about anything we can not see, touch, and prove. I have a friend who is constantly questioning, analyzing, and evaluating. It is as if she is trying to disprove something first before choosing to believe it. (something that I too am familiar with)

Many masters have said, "You'll see it when you believe it." In other words, the suspension of disbelief and the willingness not to exercise contempt prior to investigation are requirements for magic to be “real.”

When we are watching a movie or reading a novel, we willingly suspend our disbelief. This allows us to enjoy the ride without reminding ourselves that there is no evidence to support this story line. You willingly suspend your disbelief and temporarily enter a world of ultimate possibilities.

In real life, magic is all around us, but our ability to perceive and use the forces of magic depends on our willingness to be open. No one else can show it to you, only your direct experience and observation can “prove” or demonstrate to you that magic is real.

My goal this week is to practice focusing on my own suspension of disbelief, to be totally open to people and experiences without judgment, so that magic can continue to happen.
