I love this message, it so resonates. You always have such beautiful ways of expressing. And I really smiled when you said magic, magic, magic. Which means I listened to this and am grateful for the listen and for the no paywall. I will find ways to contribute. And what amazing health news.

I had a busy start to the month and was not able to read this post until now. As i was reading, i felt I wanted to reach out in some way and thank you for everything you do and to tell you how deeply this message to surrender to magic resonated with me. My intimacy with magic has been a current in my life since I was a child. Prophetic dreams and synchronicities have followed me my entire life and so I KNOW that magic is real and somehow there is an embarrassment, a doubt that follows that KNOWing. The doubt is especially loud in the moments when life is particularly challenging (which it has been, of late) This post was a reminder to go deeper, to trust the magic that has sustained me my entire life. Lastly, one of the ways magic shows up for me is in Angel numbers 22 being of special import. Imagine my wonder at coming to this page and seeing 22 comments on this post. Just another way the universe winks and reminds us that magic is truly everywhere.

I love science. I love magic. Your Cosmic Connection writings soothe me, make me smile and ponder. I also read a bit of your book excerpt and the Big Bang references reminded me of the idea of Tzim Tzum in Lurianic Kabbalah. Within that system, Tzim Tzum is the contraction of all divine energy /divine light that was necessary in order to create a space /vacuum for creation of the world and for human free will. Some people see a parallel with the Big Bang hypothesis.

Thank you BeeJo. And wow! I’d never heard that before about Kabbalah. It sounds similar to some Hindu cosmologies. So much wisdom in indigenous ways! πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•

If you haven’t already you should really check out the work of Veda Austin … she is a water researcher and is looking at the consciousness of water … her work is so cool and inspiring and visionary and very much about magic. There’s a great new interview with her (with astrologer Pam Gregory) on YouTube.

Thanks Allison. Yes, I heard an interview with her a couple of years ago. SO fascinating. Made me want to go to Australia and find that well!! I'll check out the one you mention too. I love Pam Gregory. xox

So excited for your news, and grateful for your reflections on mystery and magic. Have you read Kelly Turner’s book Radical Remission? It is an optimistic pathway through mystery and magic (and science) which I am deeply enjoying as I walk with metastatic cancer. May magic continue to hold and inspire you!
