We Are All Together
But we don’t know it
“Of one hundred persons who take up the spiritual life, eighty turn out to be charlatans, fifteen insane, and only five, maybe, get a glimpse of the real truth.
Therefore beware.”
— Swami Vivekananda

Despite this invisible caring, we prefer to imagine ourselves thrown naked into the world, utterly vulnerable and fundamentally alone. It is easier to accept the story of heroic self-made development than the story that you may well be loved by this guiding providence, that you are needed for what you bring, and that you are sometimes fortuitously helped by it in situations of distress. May I state this as a bare and familiar fact without quoting a guru, witnessing for Christ, or claiming the miracle of recovery? Why not keep within psychology proper what once was called providence — being invisibly watched and watched over?”

Magick has never disappeared from the earth. The people of the Earth just forgot what magick is. The entire Earth holds such magick that if we really spent time relearning the ways of our ancestors we would know that we are one and the same.
