According to the Spirit Project, the spiritual history of man reveals two distinct and fundamental views towards the unseen; and two methods whereby he has sought to get in touch with it. They represent the opposite poles of the same thing: the transcendental consciousness of humanity.The fundamental difference between the two is this: magic wants to get, and mysticism wants to give. Both magic and mysticism bring together the conscious and unconscious and both claim to give their users supernatural powers unknown and unavailable to the masses. In mysticism, the will is united with the emotions with the common goal of transcending the sense-world, in order that the self may be joined with the soul. In magic, the will unites with the intellect with the goal of obtaining celestial knowledge.
How to Use Either?
We are all children of the earth, and on this planet we have to stand with both feet on the ground, and our goal can only be to strive for being more willing - to accept what our life is. This takes a certain level of maturity and of personal responsibility, and therefore especially young people who still have to deal with 'arriving' in the real world are in danger. It would be a giant step for them if they would learn to include their intuition in their daily routine. Because the intuition that every person possesses leads us in the direction to the questions that, once we are more mature and experienced, go deeper and can open new levels.
More to Intuition:
Many grown-ups close their minds to this intuition as well, or they have lost it, or are afraid of it. Yet they long for a meaningful life, everyone does. It's not always the big things that change one's life, small coincidences can cause a change of direction, they just fall in your lap. Many a time we only realize their meaning later, that they have led us to a new partner, a new job or a new appartment. And everybody knows the intuitiv feeling of unease when doing something you don't want to do. And how many times we do not listen to this impulse, but decide to do the 'normal', the 'rational'? These are the roots to this ancient knowledge, the connection to the spiritual world that so many people try to reach through meditation, palmistry or reading of the cards and the like. And then the big disappointment when 'nothing' happens. It is vital to know that everybody has to find his or her own, individual access, it is not searching but finding as all knowledge is already there. It's in everyone of us. So the only way to receive results is to be willing to sense the wish to lead an authentic, to lead your own life.
Are there Teachers?
There are people who can help us with this task, but the responsibility can't be passed on to and can't be taken on by anyone. Find your own way, make your own unmistakable steps and believe in yourself. Don't trust in charlatans and so-called 'knowing people' who try to tell you how you have to live your life. Only YOU and you alone can find your meaning of life. It's not easy and there is no cure-all for this no matter what people say. It's difficult, very difficult to find your way. And there will be setbacks, doubts and anxiety. But you will progress. If you want to create your life according to your inner plan you can make it. Emotional and or spiritual dependance on other people can never lead to freedom. Words are only words if you don't belief in what others preach. Set out to find your plan of life and be aware of the fact that you will have to learn how to walk, just like a child. To stumble, to fall and to get up again, there is no getting round it, but there will be an invisible hand to help. However you call this hand, rely on it.
