Logic
buries the magic in the Universe. It prevents us from seeing how beautiful each
moment is.
To see the magic in you, in your Life, around
you, you must stop being an adult, abandon all logic and just see everything
with a child-like wonder.
While our logical temperament has been honed
by years of schooling and social conditioning and while it has helped us grow
our careers, it has really stunted our evolution as individuals. Consider your
own Life. You, like me, have problems. And, logically, you want those problems
resolved. So if the problem is financial, you may want your income to go up and
your expenses to come down. Logical thinking. When your efforts at boosting
your income come to a naught, you get depressed. Depression leads to scarcity
and negative thinking. If your problem is a relationship, you will want to sit
down and resolve it. But the other party is just not interested. You grieve.
You suffer. If your problem is your health, logically, medication should work.
But the doctors are wringing their hands in despair, because they say their
efforts are not working. You think death. You believe it’s all over. In all
this logical thinking, in all three contexts, you are tormented, you are
anxious and you are not present in your every waking moment. You are living in
your problems.
And this is where you are missing the magic
of the present. Of the myriad opportunities that Life is still offering you.
Remember that despite all the problems you are faced with and are seemingly
drowning in, Life is going on and WILL go on. There’s magic everywhere. In the
rising sun. In the chirping birds. In the smile of a child. In the few friends
who are still standing by you. In the fact that you have a home, food to eat
and someone to call family. When you are allowing yourself to be gripped in the
stranglehold of your problems, you are missing all this magic. Your being
wedded to your problems may appear to you to be very logical – after all, you want to solve your problems. But there are problems that
you cannot
solve. Only time and Life can heal and solve them. This is why being stuck with
logic kills magic. American author Nora Roberts says, “Magic exists. Who can
doubt it, when there are rainbows and wildflowers, the music of the wind and
the silence of the stars? Anyone who has loved has been touched by magic. It is
such a simple and such an extraordinary part of the lives we live.”
