Magic...It Really Does Exist
As a kid I always thought magic was real. Then growing up we're taught that it's simple trickery and misleading the witnesses. Well, is this really the case or is there some truth behind magic? The @ecotrain popup question of the week aims to challenge it's members as to whether or not they believe in magic or miracles. Or is it all nonsense and only for the gullible people in the world to fall for?
I recently wrote an article on miracles and how they can be generated by focused thought and sincere effort. I believe that we are all capable of generating miracles. So whether you call it magic or miracles, yes - we can all perform "magic." It just comes down to how hard or focused you are with what you are trying to accomplish.
There is a book written by Pam Grout titled e2 or "E-Squared." It's a book that describes an energy field that exist within the physical world that we cannot see, yet interact with all the time. All thought that we think is put out into this energy field and drives our lives beyond our knowing at times. When we focus intently on something we want or desire to see happen we can will it into existence. Within Pam's book there are proven exercises that one can try if they wish to prove that we use energy to bring things into our existences.
Now, does this mean that one can make things vanish into thin air right before your very eyes? Possibly someone could actually...I am not of the mental capacity to make that happen at my present time and practice, but I do believe there are extremely strong minded and willful individuals that know how to focus with enough energy to change and alter their physical surroundings.
I can give a few real life experiences of when I was able to use "magic" to will some things into my existence. There was one evening about 2 years ago that I wanted to try a few of the "tests" from Pam's book "e-squared." I sat and meditated for about 20 minutes with the strong intent that I wanted something of small monetary value to come to me. I gave it a 48 hour time frame and ensured that I asked specifically for something that could not come from a friend, coworker, or be something by dumb chance. I specified that it HAD TO BE DIFFERENT for me to believe that I had this capability. I then set out with heightened awareness to pay attention to what life was putting in front of me so that I would ensure I saw this play out.
Within 48 hours almost to the exact moment - I received a phone call from a local number. It was from a retail outlet from a local mall that was calling to tell me they were putting $25 worth of credit on my account because they hadn't seen me in a while and wanted me to come shop at their establishment. Now...I know what you may be thinking...COINCIDENCE right? Not for me - I've NEVER once received a phone call telling me that I have a store credit or free gift card. Not from live phone call. Nor have I ever received a phone call like that since. I've received plenty of emails, spam mail, and other types of alerts electronically, but this was a phone call from an actual living person telling me they were essentially giving me money. That was EXACTLY what I asked for; something obvious and different to catch my attention.
On another occasion I was sitting on my back deck enjoying the beautiful scenery. We frequently see birds of all kinds, squirrels, and chipmunks. I decided to mediate and in deep thought asked to see a rabbit and some hummingbirds come and make their selves seen to me. I hadn't seen a rabbit or any hummingbirds to this point near my back deck. I kid you not, within minutes a rabbit came out from the bushes and hopped by my deck and a few hummingbirds began buzzing around the flowers. I can't make this up...
Again, coincidence? I don't think so...I believe my mind sent out signals to the universe and my current surroundings and I willed these actions in to existence - magic ;-)
I've since gone onto just accept that what I intently focus on will indeed come to pass and it isn't really magic at all. It's just the normal way of the universe. To this point in many of our lives on earth, we simply haven't come to realize that there is magic in all we do. When we are oblivious to universal law and don't think we can impact our current surroundings then it is easier to look at magic as some major and abnormal occurrence that we believe only certain people have the ability to produce. This just simply isn't the case. We all have the ability to produce magic...real magic that affects our realities; not the deceiving of the eye tricks we see in shows or Hollywood.
Feel free to give it a try yourself....
I think you'll be astonished by some of the results. Here is the book reference should anyone feel like checking out:

ENJOY AND HAVE SOME FUN!
Love this post. Life can be so magical... it's just what we pay attention to I guess. We have watched a few Derryn Brown's of late, I loved the one about the lucky dog, did you see it? It's on YouTube. They convinced the town this statue they planted in the park was lucky. Those that believed and took the opportunities right in front of them and noticed the good stuff were 'lucky'.
Those that didn't weren't. Perhaps it's just about attention. If you weren't intentionally asking the universe for it, would that person have called anyway .. so fascinating. Life is cool.

I actually haven’t seen that. Sounds interesting though. I do 100% believe that it is all about what you “intend,” believe, and want to happen. There is a lot more to life and our intentions than what we realize.

Oh to be able to see the magic around you!
There is something about the power of our intents, it's sort of the driving force behind our life. Especially when you are consciously or as you put it having
Our intents are often what , in some philosophies, would produce our Karma - the cause and the effect. So it would be wise to look at the reason why you are developing certain powers and is that really where you want to put your efforts.
Life in itself is marvelous, a miracle and precious! Here's to being mindful and awakened to fully live!
I’ve been told and often read to be mindful of our thoughts. We often don’t realize that we are really all magicians ;-)

Wow, exciting! Thanks to your story I happened to remember the last time I made something manifest like this. (Ha, and in my post to answer the same QOTW I said I didn't have any stories of my own!)
It happened last fall on my long bike trip down the US Pacific "coast". Both me and my riding companion shared the thought that it would be nice to find a trimming job in Oregon or Northern Cali, seeing that it was "Croptober" and all. However, neither of us wanted to chase the job, standing on the corner with scissors, pursuing phone-calls, or let alone move from place to place just for that. It had to be on the way, where we were, at the time we were there, for like a week or so. The other requirement I added, though I didn't mention it, was that I wanted to earn $1000 dollars doing this.
It was in the town of our mutual friend we visited, that my friend I was touring with told me that he was running out of money. So if we weren't going to find a job in three days, he'd take a train back home to Seattle. Two days passed without any results, but at the end of the third day we got a phone call from one of the neighbors, that they needed some help with the harvest! Bang! Needless to say, the gig lasted exactly seven days, in which time each of us earned $1000 bucks, right on the dot.
As you mentioned, however, these types of magic has become so normal, that I stopped testing it, and even when I do it, it happens mostly unconsciously, without really paying attention to it. Which is also why it's hard to remember... unless, as in the case of this example, we end up discussing it after it has been manifested.
This is exactly why we MUST stay aware and alert of what life is putting in front of us. We are all manifesting what we think. The harder we ponder and believe something to be, the more likely it is to happen.
Thanks for sharing such a great comment and response. Keep on being mindful of what you think! It’s so incredibly important...

awesome! you say it just how i have also experience magic.. quite often in those small little things that happen, that are just inexplicably weirdly timed.. and we are always left with that choice, of how we explain it.. It sounds like your radar is switched on, and i agree, your stories sound like little magical miracles to me!
Thanks so much for sharing, beautiful post!
Thank you Alex for the kind words. There are only so many “coincidences” in life before you have to acknowledge them as simply being. The magic in all of it is we all have the same abilities ;-)

We all have the ability to produce magic - nailed it. :) Loved your rabbit and hummingbird experience. A really string challenge response - thank you!
