COSMIC MAGIC IS MIRACLE & HUMAN MAGIC IS ILLUSION

  

  BIRTHDAY PARTY & MAGIC SHOW

Timothy and Tammy are celebrating their 5^th birthday. They are identical twins born on 11^th February.  Their parents, Talbot and Tracy have organized a special party for their two little adorable sons. Talbot is rich merchant living in luxury at a farm house located at the out skirts of the famous town of Chandigarh. Tracy comes from a background of armed forces brought up by a dictator like father, an active commander of the Indian navy. The back lawns are beautifully decorated with balloons, flowers and twirling colorful ribbons. A small stage has been setup for the sole purpose of entertainment of the young children. About two dozen kids from the neighborhood have been invited for this very occasion today. A two tier gigantic cake can be seen in the dining area of the lawns. The kids are having a blast without any inhibitions what so ever. But something very special awaits them all. It is the magic show that is going to surprise them in a moment.      

SLEIGHT OF HAND 

Tommy the magician appears on the stage suddenly as if by magic. He requests all children and adults to take their seats so that he can start his show of the evening. The excited boys and girls quickly scramble for the best seats in the front and the adults too gather around for the spectacle of the evening. The magician is a smart man, lean, tall, displays a black hat and matching long flowing tunic with full sleeves of course. He starts off with a riddle. How much is two plus two? All the kids reply in unison – FOUR. Are you sure the magician admonitions? Of course reply the kids. But he says no you are all wrong. It is FIVE. Then he starts to produce four different color handkerchiefs from his bare hands: red, green, blue and yellow. Tommy puts all these four colorful handkerchiefs in his hat. He places the hat upside down on a table beside him and gets his magic wand. Abracadabra! Abracadabra! And he produces one single handkerchief, the fifth one, with all four colors, from the hat. Next he magically makes a white pigeon fly away from that colorful piece of cloth. All the children including the adults are dumb founded at this slight of Tommy’s hand.  The show goes on and on.                             
HUMAN MAGIC IS AN ILLUSION                                                   

What is magic? It is an illusion. It is the slight of the hand. The items are so well concealed that they seem to appear from thin air. But for a five year old it is absolutely astonishing and no less than a miracle. Next a woman is put inside a box and the box is cut into two halves with a sharp saw. One half holds her head and the other half holds her feet and these two halves are ten feet apart. Amazingly magical, unbelievable but true. You see it right in front of your eyes. It all applied physics and little ingenuity combined with expert craftsmanship. So everything is happening within the laws of physics and nature. Tommy the magician performs these tricks many times in a day. It is like a routine for him, but magic for the children and us.

NATURE’S MAGIC ARE MIRACLES

Now we come to the million dollar question? What is a miracle? When nature performs magic, it is a miracle for us. Miracles happen to attract us to cosmic energy: The parting of the seas for the followers of Jesus Christ to cross over; the revelations of the future events to Nostradamus four hundred years ago!

BUDDHAS DEATH & THE UNTIMELY BLOSSOMING OF THE TREES

The untimely blossoming of the trees and showering of sandal wood flowers, at the hour of Buddha’s death, purely out of reverence for the departed soul, on its LAST journey! Everything happens within the Buddhist universal law of CAUSE and EFFECT. This means that Karma, one’s doing as a Cause would bear fruit, the corresponding effect, eventually; no matter how long it may take, sometimes many lifetimes. But we, well frogs are not aware of all the laws and subtleties of nature.

NEWTONS LAWS ABOUT MATTER

Our man Issac Newton confirms the above universal law with his own law of motion. “An object will tend to remain at rest or continue to be in uniform motion in a straight line, unless acted upon by an external force.” This is also known as the law of inertia. On a calm day the water on the ocean shore is as still as a mirror. While on a windy day the scene is totally different. Giant waves of water keep coming towards the shore and continue till the wind, the external force behind the waves, dies down.

Newton’s second law deals with conservation of energy. “It states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed”. This means that matter evaporates or sublimates into energy and energy manifests into matter, magically. This is an interchangeable phenomenon. Solar heat can be trapped and converted into electricity, through solar panels. The same electricity can then be used to generate heat by running a blower.  Clouds manifest into snow and rain. Snow changes back into water when the climate becomes warmer. Finally water again changes into clouds when the weather becomes even hotter. This way matter becomes extinct for us and energy from nowhere manifests into matter magically, like snowflakes from the sky.

NEWTON’S LAW FAILS ON INTANGIBLE MIND

Sadly, this law relates to matter only, and fails miserably, when we  deal with the complex subject, of human bodies and the, all powerful, intangible mind, which has capacity to change material things. The mere mention of a lemon produces copious amounts of saliva in our mouths, instantly and automatically. The presence of a beautiful woman can and does bring about, lots of changes, in a man. From red ears, blushing with pink cheeks, a faster heart beat and partial erection are possible, in a matter of seconds. The appearance of celebrities, like Beatles and Bieber can trigger, ten thousand girls, to go into fits of, squealing, howling, and crying with joy, for hours together. Wet dreams are no less than a miracle. The object of our affection, and chase, again, another wonderful woman, in our night dreams, is purely imaginary, but the ejaculation takes place, actually and physically. The invisible mind is working on overtime, even when we are asleep.                                                                                                      

SAME LAWS ALSO GOVERN OUR BODIES WHICH IS MATTER
                                                       

Same laws govern our births and deaths too. We never become extinct, after our departure, nor is our, birth real. The soul does not enter the body or leave it, at death. We merely gain consciousness, at birth and loose it, at death. Simply change of form. If existence is real, there should be no extinction at all. Hence it is an illusion.

There is only IMPERMANCE. Life lasts, for a very short period of 90 years and then changes its form and moves on. 90 years is very short, time span, compared to the life of our planet, of 90,000 billion years. Our existence is equivalent to a blink of the eye. There is no ETERNALISM and no ANNHILATION. Hence the concept, of a higher personal God and we as his children is illogical. Definitely, this concept was invented by a crafty human mind like Constantine way back.

Religion was an invention of that time. It was the need of the hour. Religion is the opium, for the masses. Our man Albert Einstein too said, “I believe in Spinoza’s God, who reveals himself in the lawful harmony of all that exists, but not in Personal God who concerns himself with the fate of the doings of mankind”.  Therefore have compassion, towards all beings.  Do not cling to anything and bring about misery upon yourself.  Totally confused already and we have not even started.

Personally, I was convinced right from my childhood that there is no personal God up there, because if he did exist then science should have discovered Him and we would have known him more intimately and socially. Since no body had seen him or talked to him in all these centuries, it was safe to conclude that such a being did not exist. He is not a ghost to be afraid of. With this premise I lived my life fearlessly and guilt free. This straight forward logic coming from a small child was a big self-esteem booster. As time passed and I advanced in life I understood for sure that human beings can have super powers if given a chance to develop them, mentally and spiritually. Finally I was pulled into this whirlpool with Reiki, and the cat is honestly out of the bag. We can live disease free, happy, and content. It is possible to manifest anything we wish for with little hard work on our part. The basic realization of the fact that I am a pure peaceful soul, full of love and forever connected to THE SOURCE makes me a super being.
