“If we do not consciously live our best lives we are destined to unconsciously live our worst.” – Sylvan
I was recently reading about Dorothy Maclean, cofounder of the Findhorn Community and author of, “To Hear the Angels Sing: An Odyssey of Co-Creation with the Devic Kingdoms.” She’s done extensive channeling with the Devas, the beings that oversee the development of forms, for instance of plants. These two quotes really jumped out at me because of messages I’ve been receiving from my guides:
What I would tell you is that as we [the devas] forge ahead, never deviating from our course for one moment’s thought, feeling or action, so could you. Humans generally don’t seem to know where they are going, or why. If they did, what powerhouses they would be! If they were on a straight course, how we could cooperate with them!
Why go around like zombies, following this or that external guide when all the time your only guide is within you?
The Magician Tarot card premises that each person is his or her own Magician. In other words, we all – individually – channel down energy from the Astral and use it to create our lives and our environments. We don’t need to hire anyone to do it, we don’t need to consult with a priest or a shaman to do it, we don’t need to have any secret knowledge to do it. We ALL do it, ALL the time. We are creating our worlds every single day, whether we know it or not.
And for the most part, we don’t know it.
Here’s how therapist Gay Hendricks put it:
. . . one thing I want you to accept about yourself is that you’re already a manifestation genius – I guarantee it. Now all you have to do is hitch your genius to your heart’s desires instead of your default programming.
In other words, we are manifesting our lives and our environments every single day but, because we don’t realize it and don’t realize what we’ve been programmed to believe about ourselves, many of us are manifesting a load of crap. If, for instance, you were raised in a highly critical family and your parents were always telling you that you’d never succeed, guess what? You’ll manifest a whole lot of failure because that’s what you were programmed to do.
So step one in being your own Magician is realizing that you ARE your own Magician. You ARE manifesting your world right now and, as Hendricks said, you’re already a genius at it. You don’t need to practice because you’ve got it down.
Step two is getting really, really straight in your mind and heart about what you WANT to manifest in your life. And, yes, a lot of us have trouble with that. It can go something like this:
What I want more than anything is to be happy. And to get into Debbie’s pants. Of course, Debbie makes fun of me and we’re really not compatible so if we have a relationship I won’t be happy. I could lie to her about wanting a relationship and then I could get into her pants and that would make me happy. Only then I’d have to admit that I was a hypocritical jerk and I hurt her feelings just so I could get into her pants. And that would make me unhappy. On the other hand . . .”
Or as the Devas put it: Humans generally don’t seem to know where they are going, or why.
The trick – the Magic Trick – is to manifest consciously. To take the time to do the self examination and thinking about what you want, where you want to go, and why. Take the time to figure out what you were programmed to be when you were a child and see if that fits with what you really want to be. Take the time to meditate and learn to listen to your heart and your spirit guides. And then make your magic happen. Be your own Magician.
