The greatest mysticism

     It was at a very early age that I realized magic as it is in movies and TV isn't real.  To many this seems like a sad thought.  Many parents want to keep the magic alive for their children which is why so many believe in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy. They pass down their chosen mythology and superstitions and talk to them about hauntings, ghosts, and mysticism many times to their later years as they themselves still believe in the latter of these.  Of course for me this was not a sad thought, it was not an end to my childhood.  It made the world much bigger, it gave the world infinite potential for I realized that though magic as it is seen in fantasy isn't real, this world has it's own magic.  I learned if I wanted to get my way instead of enchanting someone with magic or using telepathy, I could do so with tact, and psychology.  I learned that the gateway to an empath in this realm isn't through some mystic force, but through the arts, which implant emotions into others.  I learned that the equivalent of studying the arcane to unravel the secrets of the world is mathematics and science.  I learned that in order to manipulate this world like the geomancers we use scientists and engineers.  I learned white magic comes in the form of doctors and nurses, and blue magic in the form of schools from which you can get any degree desired. I learned physics explains the world in it's most minuscule and in it's greatest form.  I learned a measure of future sight can be gained through logic, reason, and recognizing patterns.  I learned how to think, how to solve puzzles how to analyze.

     This world in this age can seem small, but it is as big as it has ever been.  Do not let your children lose the magic, ever, instead teach them of the real magic. Once they see it, once they understand how magical it really is, they will understand to simply live is full of potential and wonder.
