“The hope of the world lies in the restoration of the ancient magic that is part of your lineage.” ~ Steve Nelson
Yes, yes, yes!
So much of what we’re doing is re-discovering the magic of place, of Life, of our own beings, and the magic in all that’s around us.
The magic that nearly gets snuffed out of us early on. The magic that has been ignored by a perceptual worldview that ‘everything else’ is just inert ‘stuff’ that’s for our perpetual consumption.
To me, the magic is the Holy Divine … or at least the Holy Divine’s way of speaking to, playing with, guiding and Big Loving us!
Thanks to my friend Molly Hall for sharing Jon’s post with me, and thanks to Jon for writing it … particularly the bit about the “inoculation of reality aimed at suppressing magic.”

“The hope of the world lies in the restoration of the ancient magic that is part of your lineage.” So true and at times easy to forget! Beautiful post. 🙂
Exactly. 🙂 And it seems maybe there’s a growing yearning within even more people to ‘re-enchant’ or reclaim that sense of magic. Thanks for sharing that insight. xoxo Jamie
Exactly, Dawn. That’s what so much of the ‘deconstructing’ and ‘dissolving’ experience is about (or as Hafiz wrote, “Love holds us upside down and shakes the nonsense out of us!”). I appreciate the feisty, straight-forward voice of your comment.
And it reminds me of one of my favorite posts from the Sophia’s Children archives – Free Your Heart (and Mind), Neo:
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. Just getting started blogging to do my part in the liberation of earth. There is much evidence that positive change is occurring. Thanks for link I will gladly look at it. Peace, love and Divine illumination to you.

Thank you, Karen. And the quote from Steve is one of my favorites — it resonates so deeply, I look at it daily as a reminder. Blessings, Jamie

So true, I’ve never lost that yearning for magic that I was ‘supposed’ to grow out of.

We must free our minds from the control system of programming reality and create the world we wish to see. Liberate your mind.
