Magic thinking has been much on my mind recently, as in I can walk through Isis territory, waving an American flag, with no fear for God will keep me from getting hurt, harmed, made sick or afraid. That is magic thinking.
To live not in magic thinking but in God consciousness is to know that God does not save us from our worst fear, something akin to getting our head chopped off. No. If we're about to face our fear, we know fear or at least trepidation even as we know God is with us. Then, as it is happening, we are present to the Now where we find the peace that passes understanding.
With magic thinking, God's job is to keep anything less than wonderful from ever happening to us or ours. To seek fourth dimension thinking is to ready our self to walk through life's muck and mire with a steady mind, free of self as it were.
I'm guessing that is almost certainly an impossibility for anyone who has never had a crash-and-burn experience and walked away a changed person. It is unfortunately possible to have a crash-and-burn experience and walk away unchanged and cursing it, continuing to cling to our very own ego's idea that victory can be ours for the thinking.
Giving up the siren song of magic thinking in order to live spiritually is to praise the darkness even as we walk through it. We are going through the crucible, and He will not remove the gold from the crucible until all the dross has gone.
Thank you.
