If I had
to guess, I would say that I was expecting to be
born into a world ruled by magic but instead ended
up on a world with only the illusion of magic
because I keep expecting the world to change
immediately on my desire alone. To compensate, I
have had to alter my definition of magic to
include illusion and real magic and how to
recognize each of the three kinds, not an uncommon
realization and one many come to accept though I
was in denial of that fact for a number of years.
During that time I studied religions both old and
new trying to prove to myself whether or not magic
was a valid concept until it was during the
channeling sessions that I came to a definitive
answer I was happily forced to accept. First
though, it’s important to have a proper
understanding of both magic and illusion and the
difference between the two. An illusionist can
simulate magic with the use of misdirection and
sleight of hand making the eyes see what they are
meant to see to complete the illusion. Well-placed
mirrors, props and an assistant or two amaze the
watcher into believing what they are seeing is
unbelievable yet what they are actually seeing is
just repeatable playacting with a high degree of
skill. Magic on the other hand needs no illusion
though it does need belief as well, a belief that
the physical world is not immune to alteration
from the thoughts of a person or persons of will.
If it had to be defined, magic is really a
sustained use of will power to achieve something
the user has identified as their focus but the
effects can be also be interpreted as coincidence.
This isn't real magic, real magic will be
explained at the end of this editorial. It was
in my studies of the old religions that I learned
about tarot cards and how to give a reading which
would map out the past, present and future as they
could possibly happen barring any changes the
reading might indicate needed to be made. One of
the Major Arcana of the tarot deck is that of the
Magician, a card of great spiritual significance
no matter where in the layout it appears. The
image on the card is of a man in front of a table
with items representing the four elements on it. I
was taught that the Magician was a person able to
control the four elements and thus able to control
the forces of nature for the benefit of mankind.
It was later I learned that the four elements also
represent the totality of a person with earth
standing in for the physical being, water a
person's emotional nature, air making up their
spiritual side and fire the will or creative
desire. It was when the Magician was in balance
with the four and could control each that magic
could take place but in these chaotic times of the
21rst century, how could any aspiring Magician
find the inner calm to achieve that balance? My
answer was to go looking for a role model from
times in humanity's past when the world had not
yet heard of social media, computers or central
plumbing. In
looking throughout history for an example of a
real magician who has shown what happens when all
four elements of a person are brought into
balance, we need only look to the greatest
magician of all time, Jesus Christ of Nazareth AKA
Sananda. No illusionist he but instead someone who
had an innate knowledge that everything is one.
Turning water into wine would be no parlor trick
with that kind of knowledge and walking on water
is easy when one is already one with the water. As
a tenth dimensional being in a third dimensional
body, much of what he came here to impart was the
importance of our individual divinity denied the
people of the day even as a thought form by the
religious elite. That message can be found in
scripture throughout the New Testament where we
can read we are not powerless, just unaware of the
power we can harness for the benefit of others.
Believe in him he said, believe in his belief that
no matter how ascended you become, you too can
bring about great change through the belief you
are a reality magician. But, as was shown by
Jesus, it has to be done through love or expect
the reciprocal karma as a result if it is done for
selfish purposes. Real
magic is what happens when the mind's influence
over reality is brought to the fore and
accomplishes changes on a physical level
immediately. Only twice have I seen real magic and
that brings up the last of the continuing series
started two editorials ago on meta-concert. Both
times where real magic was demonstrated happened
with the help of about one hundred higher
dimensional members of Hades Base under the
control of Omal the base commander to facilitate
healings from one dimension to the other. One of
our friends named Carrie who would occasionally
attend the channeling sessions received word from
her doctor that she had a tumor and its removal
would affect her ability to have children in the
future which was something she wanted more than
anything. A house cat of ours at the time also had
a tumor so a test meta-concert was arranged where
I would be conducting the energy through an energy
crystal which would do most of the work channeling
the energies into the cat. In both meta-concerts
the results were successful and the tumors
disappeared much to the amazement of the doctor
who had given her the bad news in the first place.
Today Carrie is the proud mother of a 19 year old
daughter and like myself a firm believer in both
magic and miracles. Belief though is a personal
matter and we encourage you to become a reality
magician in your own life if that goal hasn't been
reached already and you found it was actually you
behind the curtain the whole time pulling the
levers.
In love and life as one. Russ and Karra
