LOVE, MAGIC, OR BOTH

A few months ago, I wrote an e-mail to someone. In that virtual sheet of paper, I wrote about things and situations… I guess I talked about life but, in the beginning, I made a comparison between love and magic. Today I would like to go a little bit deeper in that subject.

In the e-mail I wrote something like “I think Love is magic, or at least it would be a powerful type of magic. You can’t define it, question it, comprehend it, or understand it; neither of them”. If you want to define these things, you have to put them in the field of intuition. In the realm of intuition, one would be free to know the things intuitively or in other words you can “know without knowing”

As humans, many of us no longer “believe” in magic, or love. I know there are some Jedi-like people that are tricky to find. However, they still believe in magic. If you have met one of them, you would know there is something special about that person that you don’t know exactly what it is. Back to what I was saying before -thinks like we don´t “believe” in magic anymore- it is very difficult to us to make or create something out of that. How can you create something that it’s intimately related to something that you don’t believe in? Now, I’m talking about love… You have to pay attention to this matter, because when we are talking about love and magic the words tend to mix up. And this is the reason why we can’t force love or intentionally create it; if we do so, it would feel fake, no greater than a simple trick, and the same thing happens for those who believe in magic but don´t understand it. It is very difficult to do something well if you don´t understand it, unless off course, you get lucky. That is one of the reasons why we feel love like a spark that suddenly appears inside of us, because we don’t understand it, and we have to rely on feeling joyful when we feel love. If you try to create it, you are going to feel frustrated. Don’t force it; that’s not how it works.

Now, before we continue deeper in this subject, I have to say something that I need you to be clear on: I am not a religious person and I don’t mean to offend anyone. You don´t have to take this seriously, I´m not one of those long-faced kind of person. Take this just like a simple chit-chat that you are having with a friend, or with someone that you’ve found in a tavern, or something like that. Having said that, we can go a little deeper in the subject that we were wondering about, we can say that love is as old as the universe and whatever goes beyond that. In fact I would also say that is older than the universe itself, because if we believe in God or The Whole or the Cause without cause, whatever you name it… created the universe. And if you read some of the ancient text that exists about this subject, some of them say that God is Love and if we take it, then we can say that love is older than the universe. We can also say that the universe was created by the power of love, and then we can say that Love is something magical and really powerful and strong, because, what kind of thing that isn’t magic can create this whole thing? And if you believe in all this things, then you have to believe in magic and love. There is no other place where you can hide or go because love is everywhere. And if you try, you wouldn’t feel good, you will feel empty or as if something is missing. But there is nothing missing, you only have to stop hiding or running away.

Love was the engine or the spark that started this whole thing, everything else has to be fake or transitory and subject to change… But the real thing remains. And if you are a part of the universe, as you are, then you are a creation of God which makes you a loving or a magical being. And if you get a little bit confused about this maybe you are confused about yourself too.
