Are you magical?

I used to be.

Magic, fundamentally, is the use of conscious mental resources in order to affect the world in a supernatural way. You can further subdivide magic into natural vs. esoteric formulations. Natural magick users don’t try to fine-tune outcomes, they ‘merely’ channel some kind of non-physical force to affect the world, the details are left to that same force. An example of this is Intention-Manifestation (I-M)

Esoteric magick users build up elaborate systems of rules concerning what works and how. An example of this is alchemy.

I’ve dabbled in both, and of the two kinds of magick, natural magick is more effective overall, while esoteric magick is better when it comes to controlling your outcome.

Personally, I don’t like the whole rigmarole of specifying what I want from the world. So I don’t practice any kind of magic.

Affecting the world through non-physical means is something we’re all doing in one way or another. Our minds affect virtually everything about life. Magic simply takes this and concentrates and focuses it to drive a particular outcome.

What happens when you don’t try to drive a particular outcome, but still allow for the possibility for interesting and amazing things to happen, then your subconscious is free to bring all kinds of stuff to you.

When supernatural outcomes are not consciously chosen, we tend to call it divine operation. My life is a constant flow of divine events, the only thing I need to consciously do is watch, and enjoy.
