The magic is what exactly? Is it some form of this unknown key to manifestation? Is it the power to concentrate so completely on something that you pull it out of literal air? Is it vision boarding? 

I believe magic is what is, at the moment, out of your capacity to believe what can happen to you. It is not imagination, but rather the belief that something can only be in your imagination. When you think of that perfect fairytale, the beautiful house, the job that allows you also to nurture your hobbies, bringing that whimsical, creative project to life – oftentimes we call this the dream, something that can be achieved only on a timeline. Simply because that’s the way you have known others get it.

So if you change your capacity to believe in what is possible to happen to you in a compressed timeline or with no hurt/ hardship, it is then business as usual, and not magic. Time and space are illusions, and so if you learn that there is always a trick and realise that there is a tiny tunnel that takes you from back to the stage, also, it only takes 3 seconds to cross to arrive at the show of your life. 

That was a lot of metaphors, anyway, moving on.

It’s like mastering a handstand. At first, you could not possibly wrap your head around the fact that you can, in fact, carry your whole body on your hands. But then you see 10 YouTube videos and instantly start believing that it can be possible with some muscle building and balance – you can **drumrolls** be a hand-stander. But then what if we take away all the YouTube videos, and you have never once seen anyone in real life (i.e., around you, not in movies), do a handstand? But you somehow have this picture in your head of a person upside down. How long will it take you to believe that only with a little work you can bring that to reality? 

This is the trouble, that the life we imagine, we have no proof of anybody doing it on YouTube and telling you step by step on how to get there. Because this is something only you are possibly wishing for, a life that is so curated that it hasn’t happened to anyone yet, because well, no one is imagining what you are.

We don’t even see the same colours as humans. Every blue we see, we all see it differently. So then, if no one has imagined your life, how can you keep hoping to find proof when you are the one who needs to first make yourself believe that you, the very existence of you, and the fact that you can imagine it is proof. Life is art. The art does not come first, the artist’s thought, and the insane belief that they can paint this world bright comes first and that much is enough to create art. 

So what if I told you to stop referring to what you want as a dream or a magical world, because that is exactly what is stopping you from truly believing that this world is actually an illusion, and everything that you know as a possibility is very limited because no one has actually ever lived or imagined your life? Which means everything you know about how much hardship, time, money, etc., it takes to get something is not your reality.

Don’t believe in magic, believe in the subjectivity of your reality, which is to say, you can make anything out of your time and life, and there is no constraint. Accept that you are actually incapable of fathoming the tremendous possibilities, and hence anything can happen. The most unreasonable and best thing you can do is to bear in mind that what you want is perfectly reasonable. Like wanting an orange 🙂
