Magic Real?

[Lisa]

I believe magic exists. That's different than saying I believe _in_ magic, for religious reasons at least. I mean, think about it. Humans are, essentially, a sack of blood, bones, and neurons that command the brain. If that was all there really was to a person, then life wouldn't be worth living. Being _human_ is different than being a _person,_ or that's how I think at least.

To be a person, you're more than a physical being. There's a part of you that's spiritual/magical, your essence that defines your personality and who you are. Your essence, or soul, or spirit, is shaped in similar ways to your physical body - if you fall down and cut your hand, then you might have a scar, but if you have a traumatic experience, that could mark your spirit.

So basically, you should be able to control your magic/spirit like you control your physical body and mind. That's magic. Think about gym - not everyone is able to climb that rope, or run a full mile in under 10 minutes. But with prompting, you can get better. Same thing with your spirit.

Anyways, I've had a few "supernatural experiences", though they weren't all that super. Mostly predicting things. Just two days ago, a person from church - that we hardly know - called, and didn't leave a message, but I knew exactly why. Another time, I was sitting in the back of a station wagon (I'd just woken up, so my thoughts were groggy) and I started to sing along to the radio. My wandering mind said "Hey, no one could tell I was singing unless they were deaf and could read lips." I looked at a nearby car, and the two people in it were using sign language. There was one other time when I predicted what my dad was going to tell me (I'm not at liberty to say what it was, but I got it right on.)

So maybe mind-reading types of tricks come from "reading" the "spiritual vibes" like you'd read body language - unconsciously, but you know what it means. *shrug* It's just a theory. And one reason for me thinking this so deep is because I want to believe that there's something beyond my frizzy hair and awkward sometimes-stutter (I only stutter when posed with questions from people I don't know).

Not sure I believe in Magic, but I believe that some people have abilities that others don't. while I was little, I always seen bubbles around people. When I was older, I looked it up, talked to people, and they said that I was able to see a person's aura. my mom dreams of things that happen months later, my grandmother does the same thing.....

Mabye it is inherited? don't know. anyone have a theory... is it magic or not?

[Lyra Himura]

When you know someone really well, you sometimes think as they do, which is why my uncle and I can finish each other's sentances.

The aura you were likely seeing was a figment of your imagination mixed with how your read a persons feelings and emotions.

I'm a Christian, I belive in the supernatrual; but supernatrual control with the power of the devil.

Ps. please don't attack me for my beliefs.

I always wanted to believe in magic, ever since i read Harry Potter, i always wished that magic was real, only hidden, but i don't know, i guess i will never know...

[Aradia Madrea-Nox]

Lyra: I don't know, my mum always says that God works miracles through people. He works in mysterious ways, after all, and we can hardly second-guess the way He works, or at least, that's what I think.

I'm somewhat Christian. But I've always had a sense that there's something in the world that we can do.

Cassandra: I've seen those bubbles, but only faintly, and only when I close my eyes and look at people... without looking at them. I'm not sure how to explain it. Also, my mum and grandma do similar things as yours, so it seems to be inherited, I think. It's not so much magic as being in-tune with the energy of the universe, though, I think.

[Sean L.]

I really like what Aradia said on this topic.

Personally, I think magic, if you will, is simply an expression of doing more than we can with our physical bodies. Magic allows us to do what we can't do today with our fingers and arms, and enhances our ability to change the world, from scrying to traveling across galaxies. That being said, the quote is that "a technology advanced enough is indistinguishable from magic" and I concur on that point too. In the future, we'll probably know enough about nanotechnology and robotics that we'll have implants or the like that will be able to manipulate things from far away - but by then, it won't be magic, it'll just be science.

That being said...some things in this world can't be explained. Some people have unique powers. But on a wide scale? I wish...oh how I wish. Not the Harry Potter type, mind you, which, no offense, strikes me as kind of childish, but this type. The type where you have to pay for your powers, and you have to do good by it, where evil isn't just Voldie and his supporters, but it could be in an overshadowed wizard.

But I digress.

I think magic could be real. I've had times when things have happened that seem alot like magic. I've never had lucid dreams, but i've had dreams like nita that seem to come true.

i believe in wizardry full heartedly. not the hary potter type but a lesser type of yw. talking to things and getting them to listen, reading minds, preditcing things,and the such. i cant see aura but i can feel it surrounding ppl. i would love to be a wizard and do real yw magic but my lower version is ok for now for me

I believe very strongly in magic.

I'm always reading books and watching movies that have to do with it, no matter what. My friends all think I'm weird. But I love the movie the craft and practical magic, and afterI finish with the YW series I'm gonna read the Magic Kingdom of landover series.

I have had quite a few lucid dreams, and I had an experience when I was little that I will never forget. I was staying at an aunts that lives far from my home, while my mother was away with some of her friends. And I was crying because I didn't know my aunt that well, and I kept wishing over and over that my mom was back home. And I blinked, and suddenly it was morning. I remember sitting there thinking, holy crap its morning. And I got up and walked around like I thought it was a dream, and my aunt asked me how I slept and my mom came out and hugged me. It was very weird.

But my mom is always encouraging that kind of stuff, She has a few books on the faeries mythical creatures, but what I have been interested in lately is astural projection. I beleive its possible, and I have been tryin for a while, with no luck. lol sorry this is long, I just got a lot to say.

I believe magic is in everyone. But only a select few can acess it. I think our soul is madeup of magical energys. But dont look at me, I'm just a teen who wants magic to be a reality.

[drama_queen _supreme]

of course magic is real!!!!! i've got absolutely no doubt in my mind that it is!

[WolfDemon]

Personally, I think that anything is possible in our own minds. And once it's possible there, who's to say that it isn't real somewhere? What are our minds but another dimension?

But, I'm not sure that I believe in magic as a way for humans to get what they want or to keep some evil force away... True there is entropy, but you don't magic to fight that.

[Snow Ear]

I do beleive in magic. Sometimes u might feel it when not looking for it.
I belive in it alot. I might be concidered a wacko about magic because all I read about is magic. I look for books about wizardry, and I hope that it is like the one that Nita found in the library.
Am I alone 2 think this way?

[Dragon Writer]

think about it this way: think about what we can do, just using the tiny bit of our minds that we do. Now, what if someone used of it. WHat they could do, could very well be, by definition, magic. Not necessarily the hollywood magic, or even any of the other kinds of magic we read about, but magic all the same.
