Something I've never been able to understand is how everyone keeps trying to show you some kind of light.
Religion, friends, family, society, the world, throughout my life I've noticed that the "light" anyone ever tries to show anyone is just their perspective on how to live. But if we all have that light, why try to have everyone else see it the way you do?
When depression hits hard, it's easy to get lost in the darkness, but at the same time, it only seems that way because we can compare it to light.
How can you explain to a blind person what either of those words mean if they are incapable of seeing it for themselves? And that my friends, is the best definition of magick I can conceive.
The realization that the engulfing darkness is literally and metaphysically within your own mind. And once you can grasp that concept, once you fully realize you have the ability to change it like you can control your dream if you realize you are dreaming, that is where the true awe inspiring magick comes into play.
Maybe it's my years of studying, maybe I've grown used to it, but the darkness isn't all bad either.
It certainly feels like it is, but that is only because we cannot see in it.
But the world is still the same on the brightest of days as it is on the darkest of nights. Our perception of it just changes based on the information we have to work with.
That's why it's important as to what and how you think, especially when you get engulfed by whatever darkness you might find yourself in.
Sure, it seems counter productive to think positive even in the harshest of circumstances, and I don't mean to always look at the bright side because then we can never fully grow, but rather to enjoy the good times in life, and to try and stay positive when there are bad times in life, because, no matter how you think about the world, we are all made if glass and can break just as easily as anyone else, but it's our ability to keep growing and keep living that helps more than anything else. At least, that's my take on it.
