The truth is who are we in this present moment. And if we're fully willing to come with awareness with all the consciousness that we have at this moment and bring it to this very moment, then there is an opportunity for us to really begin to expand. This is what I believe mystical practice is about. We open into the timeless because as consciousness itself rises, we see the moment expanding and then we go into this state where there's not change, there's not newness, there just is. Things are just the way they are right now. Many of us really hold back from it.
Thomas Moore
I think Jung, the Magus, was speaking there. The magician who says that the world is in such... it's the sympathies that are mysterious, that are invisible. There are connections between people and between events, between places that we don't understand, don't know about, but they exist. But they're in a realm beyond our perception. And they reveal themselves every once in awhile, as in an epiphany so that we're kind of shocked sometimes to see the connections between things. The synchronicities.
Now to live in a world where you don't try to manufacture or explain those things but where you guide... let your life be guided by them and you make your decisions by them, that is living in a world that is magical based on magic. So I think that with an appreciation of the magical influences and patterns at work in life, we then live in an enchanted world.
Water is such a fascinating element. It's also part of the magic, the world's magic. There's a sense of life, that life's in movement and rhythmic, and I know that that's me in some way. I mean I know that those waves don't just stop at the shore. I can feel them in my own heart and in my imagination. And then my memories come like waves. They come and they go and they ebb and flow. And they flow back and forth.
