Moon Magic Newsletter for February 2008


Magic is the essence of creative self expression working with and within the Universal self expression which we call the known world.
When I write about magic I usually place a great focus upon self image, approach, the removal of internal limitations, and raising personal resonance in order to synchronize myself with my own Natural development.

Many years ago, I used to believe that I could change my life if only the world gave me _______ to work worth. “If I was given this, I could have the power to do that.” My approach was really very limiting.

There is another truth. “If I change the internal reason/reasons why I haven’t been given what I think I need, and align desires with my spiritual progression, I will receive what I need, when I require it.” How would I do that? How could you?

To improve your life experience, you must first improve something about yourself or your normal way of doing things. In the mundane world, it could be as simple as adopting a habit of taking an early morning walk to build up your health, or by waking up a little earlier and getting to work on time. In the spiritual or magical world, you can improve yourself by adapting a higher viewpoint. I’m going to give you a very powerful exercise for doing this, but first I‘m going to ask you to read this link about Bunraku a Japanese form of puppet theater in order for you to get a better understanding about where we will be going with this.

Some advanced practitioners of this type of puppet theatre have discovered a remarkable if unintended change in spiritual viewpoint when they found themselves not just behind the puppet operating it, but exterior to their own body. They saw themselves behind their body, operating their body which was in turn operating the puppet in a play.

There are meditative practices which focus upon moving exterior to your body. Visualizing yourself performing this type of theater or actually using large dolls to interact in a drama revitalizes your sense of play and can produce remarkable effects. What we are shooting for doesn’t stop at becoming exterior to your body. We take this one step further. Here is your visualization:

Exercise Part One:

1. Visualize yourself holding a large sized Japanese style puppet out in front of your body. The puppet is an exact double of your body.

2. Now visualize moving it, interacting in a made up situation with other people you know interacting with you -each operating their own puppet.

3. Go through a scene or scenes taken from your life experience a number of times, making your visualization as real as possible adding sights, smell, physical sensations.

Exercise Part Two:

1. Visualize yourself holding a large puppet out in front of you.

2. Now visualize yourself holding this large puppet and have the puppet holding another puppet in front of it. You operate a puppet as it holds and operates another puppet.

3. Go through the scenes from part one above several times visualizing yourself interacting with others with you operating a large puppet which is holding and operating another puppet out in front of it as it is acting as your character in the story.

What happens?

For some of us it restores a sense of play. For others, we realize that using our body operating the puppet in a play is very much like our spirit operating our body. A few, people might actually see themselves moving behind their body. If this exercise makes you feel uncomfortable, it is actually starting to work. It’s totally ok to stop when ever you want to stop, but progress is not always comfortable.

With practice there will come a point when you can act out or visualize scenes from your life, seen with you as an ego spirit operating your body as though it were a puppet, and then a point when you visualize a larger truth, seeing yourself as an eternal being, operating an ego spirit which is operating a body…your body in a play about your life. All the while other people in the play are doing the very same thing - except for each of them the story is actually about there own life. For them, you are just another character.

Life and magic are best lived two steps behind. You are eternal. Although most of us function as though we were operating our body much like we would operate a car (from inside), we can learn to move our point of control. We move it outside.

Even when we do move exterior to the body, our spirit (point of control) is still very concerned with the identity of this “person” we are creating on the world stage is and how it is doing. This ego identity is like a piece of our eternal self sectioned off to live as an identity controlling a body within a lifetime.

You are so much more. You are more than your body. You are more than the person with a name, with friends and family, problems and fears that you tell yourself that you are. You are an eternal spirit running the ego identity (control point) with which you operates the body. We are all doing a for of this puppet theatre. We call it life.

I hope that you enjoy this visualization technique! Thanks to all of you who have ordered my Prenatal & Life Path Report package.The Cayce Past Life Report and Solar Return which comes with it round it out so that you have a past, present, and future to look at. It really helps to know what it is you are here to learn or teach; speeds things up. I’ve been having a great time doing them and even I am amazed at the amount of positive feedback. This group attracts people that have such interesting charts!

Bright Blessings to you all!
