We need not wait for the world to become more mystical the world is mystical. Our problem is not that the world lacks magic our problem is that we don't believe in its magic. We do not show up fully for life, and then wonder why life is not showing up more fully for us.

Image
When we do align with it, we thrive. And when we do not, we suffer. This is not punishment. It is merely the Law of Cause and Effect. With each thought we think, we either align with universal love, or we disconnect ourselves from it. Whichever is our choice determines whether we then feel connected to, or disconnected, from our own true Selve

If there is anything interesting about my story it's the fact that it's not unique at all. I feel that I have been through what almost everyone I know has - a slow and gradual maturation process.
