Last night, I reconnected with an old passion of mine. I went to the astronomical observatory and saw Jupiter through the telescope.
When I was little, I was fascinated by the Universe and the possibility of life on other planets. I can see why I was so fascinated by this and why I frequently thought about it between going to school, doing my homework, having dinner, etc. Life here, the way we're living it, is drained of its magic. Wake up, go make money, come back home, sleep. Disconnected from the cycles of nature and of our bodies. We are work machines, robots. It's not so different from how the movie Matrix depicts humans.
But I have always known since I was little that there must be more; there must be magic. I felt the magic in my veins and the magic all around. I felt it so deeply, and I still do. I would always dream that I was flying or searching for treasures. Then I would play out this searching for treasure fantasy in kindergarten, creating maps and putting the x where the treasure was and then going out in the playground with the other kids looking for treasure. I would even tell them to meet up in the playground at night after our parents sleep. Although that was a little hard to do physically, I would dream that I was meeting up with them. I think I might have been astral projecting because whenever I would wake up, it would feel so real. But not a lot of them came 😂.
I'm not saying that there can't be magic in mundane activities because there can be; that's the point, but maybe not in how we have structured our lives.
Taking the dog out is not just taking the dog out. It's connecting with the earth, speaking to the birds, connecting with the trees, learning from my dog how to walk confidently. She is the most confident being I know. She has a Leo sun, after all.
I can say that I am living my childhood dreams, practising tai chi, dancing with energy, which can feel like levitating, flying out of my body during meditations and other mystical experiences, feeling energy move through my body, healing, feeling the power and the love of the universal life force energy. As well as feeling the depths of my emotions and humanity.
I want to live a magical life.
The Universe is so vast. It's hard for a finite instrument like the mind to even grasp. But by looking far out into the sky, it's impossible to not feel the awe and the absolute perfection of our existence, the magic. All around, there is a lot of nothing, and here we are spinning on a little ball somewhere in space, alive, experiencing things, breathing… crazy ...
I don't believe in coincidences. Do you?
Whenever you feel disconnected, look out into the sky when there is a clear sky, look at the stars, planets, and galaxies and reconnect to that magic within you. That magic is the essence of your purpose.
Love and Presence,
Ana
