Science, however, seeing the body as a mechanism, has promoted the idea that consciousness is trapped within a mechanical model, that man’s suffering is mechanically caused in that regard: You simply give the machine some better parts and all will be well (amused). Science also operates as magic, of course, so on some occasions the belief in science itself will seemingly work miracles: The new heart will give a man new heart, for example.

[...] Maybe our idea of identity is like a magic circle we’ve drawn around our minds, so that everything outside seems dark and alien, unselflike. [...]

[...] My purpose is to reinforce your own strength, for ultimately the magic of your being is well equipped to help you find fulfillment, understanding, exuberance, and peace.

[...] They think that if they had their own supersoul they would have far better sense than Ruburt, and they would use me as if I were a magic genie. [...]

He writes because he wants to create a unique world, one in which during the act of creation as a creator he is in charge, and yet while he is in charge he is in contact with a certain magic of creativity that gives him experience with greater realms of being. [...]

The session, to answer Ruburt’s silent question, will work no magic by itself. [...]

You can use this to advantage however, as you explain the situation to him, for your words have almost magical import at this time. [...]

[...] There are no magic words that will make you wise, that will fill you with understanding and compassion, that will expand your consciousness.

[...] Indeed, then, the theory actually says that the ordered universe magically emerged — and evolutionists must certainly believe in a God of Chance somewhere, or in Coincidence with a capital C, for their theories would make no sense at all otherwise.

(A discussion ensued during the break centering about the above, the fact we create our realities, and the book The Magic of Believing [if you believe something you can do it] when Seth interjected the following.)

[...] But with all of this, she’s been refreshing her physical and creative selves by simply enjoying the day-by-day magical ripening of another spring.)

Almost three weeks ago I wrote in the Preface for Dreams that we were waiting to receive the first published copies of Jane’s Emir’s Education in the Proper Use of Magical Powers. [...]

[...] We had no idea if Jane’s pendulum data was the magic we were looking for, but at least we hadn’t considered this idea before. [...]

Not only that, it is simply a fact that your scientists will indeed discover, and no misty, magical superstition, that consciousness, of itself and because of its nature, forms physical matter. [...]

(And, magically, Jane’s voice dropped to its previous near whisper. [...]

Within a few days we expect to receive from Delacorte Press the first copies of Emir’s Education in the Proper Use of Magical Powers.

[...] [Mitzi didn’t watch me this time.] Much has taken place in Jane’s and my lives since 1979, as it has for everyone else, but here in the light of the corner streetlight the scene outside our place was just as magical and mysterious as ever. [...]

[...] My muscles weren’t magically healing themselves, nor was I undergoing any kind of overall healing that might confound my own beliefs, or those of medical science. [...]

[...] These senses are not magical, they certainly are not religious in any sense of the word, and I am not some degenerating secondary personality of Ruburt’s. Nor will I be compared with some long-bearded, beady-eyed spirit sitting on cloud nine.
