How can we describe an intentional change in reality with minimal assumptions?
- We change our individual reality.
- This affects the reality of other individuals.
- We encounter resistance.
- We find support.
None of this is new to a conventional, non-magical worldview. However, the word "reality creation" suggests more: we also create what is usually seen as independent of us.
A "magical"
worldview (in the broadest sense) closes this gap, first by
"softening" the usual concept of reality: reality is everything we
perceive, and therefore not
independent of us. Second, on this basis, it assumes that we can fundamentally
change any reality, even if it is not comprehensibly accessible to our
influence. Some philosophers prefer to use the term "effective
reality" for a "soft" reality, meaning only the effect, as
opposed to a purported "hard" reality behind it. After all, an
incomprehensible influence on the latter would probably make their hair stand
on end. But in fact, everything is half as bad.
Authors of
"magical" manuals that take the mind seriously, such as Frederick E.
Dodson ("Parallel Universes of the Self") and Vadim Zeland
("Transsurfing 2"), ultimately come down to the simple recommendation
that we align our intentions, or soul and mind, and get started. We can also
say it in a more primal way: Follow your intention with a pure heart!
That's all. Then all
the necessary doors should open and good things should come into our lives
through conventional channels. The unprepared onlooker would see our tangible
actions as the only logical cause, and the rest as chance. At best, they would
assume that we are just now taking advantage of the opportunities we already
had. No problem.
Even authors who find
the mind a hindrance include the Time Joker in their recommendations: The
intended should manifest only at the right time for the benefit of all
concerned. So if it takes longer again, maybe that's okay. Or maybe we need to
work on ourselves and get our subconscious more in tune. Once again the skeptic
leans back and relaxes, muttering the word "self-immunization".
Does this make
"magical" reality creation "nonsense"? In fact, its modern
tools are little different from what you can learn in normal coaching sessions:
Finding and visualizing goals, questioning and changing obstructive beliefs,
recognizing and reshaping inhibiting emotional complexes. If everything works
out, you don't have to believe in magic, but you can do what the skeptic does.
Of course, he too cannot explain or verify everything and should actually
consider 5 to 10 percent of "supernatural" connections as possible.
Only if you pay attention will you notice inexplicable similarities
between what you want and what you get, the details of which are beyond any
suspicion of coincidence. What you get will come to you so easily and naturally
that you won't even be surprised – unless you compare it to your
emotional-mental starting point. In that case, you will know.
