The show opened with a discussion of the “new normal”, and the stress it puts on parents and kids. The resilience of kids is amazing and we can definitely take a cue from them. Eventually, the talk turns to our main topic. Why don’t people believe in transcendent experiences anymore? Could the world changes coming in 2022 be a conduit to opening our minds to magic? Will we be more open to adopting an enchanted worldview?
How Did We Lose Our Enchanted Worldview?
When Sara reached for her trusty Shaman’s Oracle deck, she pulled the Galactic Mushroom card. The Galactic Mushroom reminds us to seek out your higher purpose, and heed the laws of the universe. You may not see it now, but the law of cause and effect is working in your favor.
Sara returned to the earlier question and asked Patch why people don’t believe in magic anymore. This seems like a must in order to adopt an enchanted worldview. Patch believes that we are committed with to a rational worldview instead. Most people believe in a law of cause and effect, but not the one espoused by the Law of Attraction. We believe in what is convenient for us, when it is convenient. Rationality is great, and it has its place. If not for logical thinking, we would not have modern medicine, for example. However, it is impossible to find balance in life if you only focus on the physical, humanist elements. Some aspects of life are not easily measured by conventional metrics. Adopting an enchanted worldview rounds a person out, metaphorically speaking.
Patch cited the perspectives of esoteric thinkers. Carl Jung noticed a lack of a cause and effect principles in Eastern thought, thus he developed the theory we know as synchronicity. The English Occultist Aleister Crowley disliked how lay people associated the word “magic” with stage magicians, so he changed the spelling of his brand to “magick”.
Reconnecting To An Enchanted Worldview
Sara identified the concept of an enchanted worldview to mean that you are open to all possibilities in life. The point of setting goals and manifesting your dreams means really enjoying your life.
She then pitched to Patch for an explanation of the teachings of philosopher and author Aldous Huxley. His book Doors of Perception covered his experience with psychedelic drugs. He espoused a theory that our brains exist to limit what we can perceive. In order to expand our knowledge, he believed that we could deprive the brain of fuel by fasting. Huxley also took psychedelic drugs in order to expand his consciousness. In Sara’s experience, some friends have overcome many blocks in life with controlled usage of psychedelics.
Enchanted Worldview: Further Ways to Connect
Other methods of transcendence include hypnosis and (surprise!) dreaming. Sara is a licensed hypnotherapist. She explained how she helps her clients reach an altered state through hypnosis, thus connecting with what their subconscious is leading them toward. However, when you dream, you are completely disconnected from the conscious world. Finally, Sara stressed the importance of setting goals in life. Allowing magic into your life will lead you to successful manifestation of your goals. Through opening herself up to these transcendent experiences, Sara crushed her financial goals last year way ahead of schedule.
Patch wrapped up the discussion by recalling his own spiritual journey. While he no longer identifies as a Christian, he still believes a higher power has his best interests in mind, and wants to guide him. He explains that his enchanted worldview is synonymous with his desire to connect to that spirit guide. That transcendent perspective gives his life meaning.
