Every day is a good day for thanks and gratitude, no matter what transpired the day before. No matter what you thought about someone, or said about someone, or someone said or thought about you, each new day is a good day for giving thanks, for expressing gratitude, for saying you love someone, for letting those closest to you know that you are there for them, no matter what is going on in their lives. Expressing your feelings in the right way helps you, and it helps others too. It’s up to you to decide what is the right way, for often the conventional reasons for helping, for giving thanks, for expressing gratitude and love just don’t fit. In your own circumstances, you decide. What is right?
It’s not too hard to imagine a better world ahead. It’s not too hard to think of peace to come, of hope in the air and in the hearts of the many who now suffer. Give them hope from your own heart. Send it through the air to them so that they may get a whiff of it and remember what hope feels like, what love feels like and what peace feels like too. Just a whiff is enough for the hearts of the sufferers to lighten for a moment, and remember.
It has been suggested that the fall of Atlantis parallels the state of our current civilization. Plato introduced the story of Atlantis, crediting its origin and transmission as having been handed down from generations of ancient Egyptian priests.
Atlantis was a spiritually and technologically advanced civilization that lost its moral compass as it exercised its psychic powers in the form of black magic. In modern terms, black magic could be defined as the use of the subconscious mind for malevolent purposes.
The karma of such abuse of its powers was the total destruction and sinking of this island continent into the Atlantic Ocean around 10,500 BC. The modern psychic, Edgar Cayce, has confirmed the validity of the downfall of Atlantis.*
Judge Hatch, as channelled by Elsa Barker in 1916, observed that many old souls from Atlantis had incarnated back into human form and would continue to do so in our modern era, particularly in America where new spiritual ideas so quickly can take root. America is thus a major player in the karma and interplay of psychic powers exercised through both black and white magic.
Black and white magic are distinguished by the quality of the intent behind the suggestions one poses to the subconscious mind. Black magic refers to suggestions issuing from self-serving, narcissistic intent. White magic refers to suggestions in alignment with the purity of truth and love, directed to the greater good of all.
The power of suggestion, as applied to the subconscious mind, is the most influential psychic power of our time. The birth of autosuggestion in the early 20th century, from its older parentage in hypnotism, empowers any person to potentially heal themselves, to manifest in physical reality any changes they have imagined and desired from the subtle dimension of their mind, and to telepathically influence the subconscious mind of others.
What is known as distance healing, whether through healing prayer or directed healing intention for another, is actually the power of the mind to telepathically present a healing suggestion to the subconscious mind of a person in need. If the subconscious mind of the recipient is impressed by the suggestion, the desired healing may result. Ultimately, though we might have a healing intent for someone else, actual healing is a function of their own subconscious mind choosing to actualize the suggestion. Healers intend healing but we ultimately heal ourselves.
This is the same mechanism as in the placebo effect. If someone believes the suggestion that they will be healed by the ingestion of a pill, the subconscious mind may indeed generate the expected healing through its power to influence physical reality.
Our thoughts and beliefs are incessantly sending suggestions to both our own subconscious mind and that of others. What the world is presently experiencing is a plethora of negative, self-serving suggestions, the stuff of black magic. These have galvanized mass movements of genocide, displacement of peoples, appropriation of people’s property, and a worldview of hatred and self-interest toward all others.
The outcome for the advanced but self-serving civilization of Atlantis warns of similar consequences for our modern world. Fortunately, the advance of autosuggestion empowers every individual to utilize the power of white magic for the health and healing of our planet, and the human race as well.
For white magic to be effective, our intentions must be rooted in love. Love knows only one race, the human race. Love spares no one. Love loves all, even those who hate, pillage and kill. No one is excluded from love’s purview. When I think of those I’m most tempted to hate, my conscious mind states, “May they discover love for the greater good of all.” This is my intention for all burdened with the passion of hate.
Let not my emphasis upon love suggest that any soul should escape the justice, or karma, that must necessarily be meted out upon all for the choices they have made. How helpful could it possibly be for one to be spared the learning opportunity of feeling the effects or outcomes of the causes they have generated? But let the decision to not help someone come from love of the truth, as well as the intent to allow them their full opportunity to discover what they need to learn, without interference.
If we indulge hatred, we invite black magic, through the power of thought, to influence those who surround us in our interconnected family of One. Responsible use of our thoughts and feelings positively impacts the suggestions we impress upon the subconscious mind of our human race.
Foundational to the use of black and white magic is the power of the subconscious mind to change the world based upon the intention of the conscious mind. It is my intention that all humans will acquiesce to the truth of the heart in making their suggestions to the subconscious mind.
Never be discouraged. We simply have no control over how the subconscious chooses to realize our dreams. If we get angry or push too hard, we may find ourselves unwittingly tempted into the mood of black magic. Of course, this then gives us the opportunity to feel compassion for those who similarly struggle.
Exercise your psychic power of suggestion by keeping love, truth and the greater good of all in mind. Express your gratitude for this power and intend the patience needed to stay the course.
That’s white magic, Chuck
*Whether the story of Atlantis is a myth or a fact does not alter the similarity to what is happening in our world now.
Everyone has good days and bad days. Everyone has highs and lows. Everyone has ups and downs. Keep this in mind as you take stock of how things have been going for you. Are you keeping in touch with your spirit and your heart’s intent? Are you loving and kind throughout your day? Are you open and willing to observe the lives of those you love as true journeys of transformation, just as your own is? Are you ready to accept, without regret, and move on when the time is right? Are you, on this very day, willing to accept that you still have so much to learn and still so much to give? Life is meant to be experienced. Keep that in mind as you have your own experiences in life and as you guide others through theirs. Life is meant to be experienced on ALL levels.
Gradually increase putting your attention on that which forwards you toward a greater acceptance of what is. It’s so hard to accept reality sometimes, we know that, but it’s also so important to gain the ability to shift with the tides, so to speak. When something big happens in your life, the best thing to do is to remain optimistic, knowing that whatever is happening is leading you to some other understanding, some other experience of life, and some other means by which to achieve and fulfill your life’s dreams and ultimate purpose. If you remain open and eager to be guided and shown what you are supposed to learn, it will make the experience so much easier for you, and you will, in the end, be more easily able to accept what you have been needing to learn at this time in your life.
