Early in our journey with Father, He explained to us that His Way allows awareness and participation in the Mystical and Magical. He Said that by closing the door to this, we lost the capacity to nourish our Soul and thus degradation ensued easily.
Such statement may bring two conflicting responses. On one side many people will recognize the Truth of such statement and yet at the same time, they will be aware of all this fear associated with such an idea. After all, in all our experiences of the mystical and magical - which come from the books, movies, TV, and perhaps some participation in it - it is all about the misuse of such "powers" for some evil purposes or perhaps such "benevolent" uses as putting love spells on people. This of course is by unrighteous - unholy design.
By closing the door to the natural, healthy, simple expression of the Mystical and Magical a situation was created in which many people who feel intuitively drawn to this aspect of life, have no other option but to explore it through unrighteous - unholy means.
The Mystical and Magical is not about casting spells and curses unto people, it is not about misusing stones, crystals, metals, herbs to promote unrighteous - unholy activity or goals.
The Mystical and Magical is a natural expression of the Universe. Living plants, living stones, living Earth, living Sun, living puffy clouds. The aurora borealis, the fireflies lighting up the night, the sparkling raindrop on a leave, the People, the fairies, and the nature spirits. All together yet individually rejoicing in the wonderment of Creation and Life, receiving the Blessings from the Father and progressing in their Spiritual Journey.
Life on Earth is about experiencing and participating in such Mysticism and Magic.
"The Reader's Digest Great Encyclopedic Dictionary" (copyrighted 1966, 1968, 1971) explains:
Mysticism:
- the doctrine and belief that through contemplation and love man can achieve a direct and immediate consciousness of God or of the Divine truth, etc., without the use of reason or of any of the ordinary senses.
Contemplation, love, direct and immediate consciousness of God and Divine Truth. These are under the category of Right Thinking, Right Action, and Right Manifestation of Father's Good Will. The only refinements that need made to the above definition are replacing "love" for Love as Self and "God" for Father Which Is in Heaven.
Let's look now at "magic". When you take a look at the definition of "magic" in this same dictionary, you will find that there is only a faint hint as to a Right and Proper use of this natural expression of Creation. That is to say, you will need to do a little detective work to get a glimpse of what this means other than its corrupted expression which seeks to "coerce nature by the use of certain rites, formulas, actions, etc.".
Magic:
- mysteriously impressive; beautiful
- [< magikos of the Magi]
Magi:
- The three "wise men from the east" who came to Bethlehem to pay homage to the infant Jesus
Now we are getting somewhere. We have the word "wise" and the indication of Respect and Reverence to the Father. The gifts these Magi brought were frankincense, myrrh, and gold. All natural substances that are very healing and which support a Spiritual Journey with the Father.
Wise:
- seeing clearly what is right and just.
- having sound judgment
Sound:
- having all the organs or faculties complete and in normal action and relation; healthy
- founded in truth; valid; legal
The picture has become clear enough now to give us some Guidance and Direction as to what a Magical experience of Life and Creation is. It is an experience that includes mystery and beauty and allows one to see clearly what is Right and Proper, Respectful behavior. It is an experience that facilitates, sustains, and requires health - that is having all organs and faculties in utmost state of nourishment and function. It is an experience founded on Truth, therefore it is legal, which is to say it is of one a-chord with Universal Law.
When the door to the Mystical and Magical was closed, we lost our capacity to know the Father directly through our experiences. We lost our health and no longer could see clearly what is right and just. Our lives no longer were founded in Truth and Universal Law.
Can you see what great disservice it is to cut yourself from this aspect of Life? Can you now recognize in which direction Father's Way of a Mystical Magical Life would take you?
