Ah, I am in a bit of a health bind. I have to have chocolate every day. For constipation. It is very effective and even though I have various other things. Very often, when it comes down to it, I need chocolate. It just works better. It stimulates my digestive system to generally work better.
But chocolate has a side effect. It is a substance for me that has side effects that are distinctly worse than alcohol. I don't get a great deal of issue with alcohol. Chocolate... Disturbs my sleep. So I end up after taking it a while at the kind of end of my tether. Unable to properly rest. Kind of wanting a day without it, so I can just sleep the whole day. But knowing my stomach will pack up if I do.
Anyway, this is not what this post is about, although there is a relevance to it that will come later.

I'm not expecting you to watch this video. But I will be commenting on it so it should be here.
Conflict in a journey.
Another point I want to bring in that is only tangentically connected to this. Is that I have had an insight recently. Thoughts I had had that lead me to create this image with AI (A kind of personal set of tarot cards I am creating for myself with dream imagery!)
What this was intended to convey is that sometimes when two worlds collide, sometimes the conflict can be too much and you have to pick one or the other. This was with The Law of One/ Human Design (highly spiritual and even theological texts) and my belief in Stefan Molyneux. An atheist philosopher. Heavily atheist.When I made this card my thought was that these are fundamentally incompatible. And the dream imagery, that was actually quite different to this, and this imagery. That of a portal from another world disturbing this highway. Was meant to show that.
But now, what this card will mean, is that these two "roads" can infact be combined. It has suddenly come clear to me. In that Stefan Molyneux puts a lot of emphasis on Evolutionary psychology, and he references the subconscious mind as part of this. But I can kind of use both systems. The subconscious mind is indeed very powerful, so, it works within a persons life to teach them lessons, and to better themselves. Like what we might think of under a new age paradigm.
I have a ruthless part of my mind that tears apart anything that isn't hammered down, and I do sit uneasily with a lot of my spiritual/ theological beliefs.
The point.
But there is a reason I brought the relevant youtube video up.
So the story, if you did not want to sit through the half hour video or so, was a very whimsical story including flowers, magical talking flowers, and two young girls. If I have that right.
As I have gotten into meditation again and am regularly praying, also reading the Law of One, and with better health than I have been in the past. As does arrive with meditation. There is a kind of magic. An intuitive way of connecting things that is not normally present when I am not meditating regularly.
I tend to think though, that a lot of the theological ideas are metaphors for something very relevant. This is fairly obvious. But when we subconsciously perceive a great deal of positivity. We feel that to be intuitively very positive and obviously, when we perceive dishonesty or threat to an overwhelming extent, we perceive and feel malevolence. Kind of obvious.
What I think this story is showing though, what it means for me. Is that there is a way of getting things "right" that involves a kind of "magic". As an example. I have a few different talents and abilities. I do not have others. But I have a certain tendency towards open mindedness and thinking through various spiritual information. Like the Human Design Chart.
It seems logical on a purely mental level, to do healing, Since I have medical issues and energy healing is something I believe is possible. But while it is a nice idea, it is an idea that hits a lot of notes mentally. In real life, it is a nice self centered idea, but I don't have the "emotional empathy" to help others in that way, I know that (as I know healers). It would allow me to push against the normal political zeitgeist. As does writing fiction. That would allow me to get a lot of ideas in about opposing evil doers.
But none of these things are magical. They are all kind of... calculated. What really works for me. Aside from the spirituality already mentioned, is music. Music, is just magical. It solves issues for me. It fits my peculiar psychology to have a lot of detail involves, scales etc. in articulating and expressing emotion. There is no "technical" benefit to music. No intellectually explainable benefit. But music, is my path. I know it. And it provides powerful benefits that I cannot get from other sources. Powerful insights where things that I cannot normally get seems simple and obvious. It provides a lot of joy to others as well, whenever I play.
Magic.
The idea of positive magic, I recall a psychologist who used to talk about this, who was thrown into disrepute as soon as he died, and whose conclusions were incredibly politically inconvenient. About how genius's mainly work by intuition and are lightyears ahead of everyone else in ways that can't be proven. Was the name Michael Eysenck or something?
The woman making these videos. Is saying a lot of powerful positive things. Perhaps her own output is this unexplainable "magic". I see it a lot with what seems to be what someone is actually meant to do with their lives. Should be doing in general. It is an absolutely indispensible part of life in my understanding.
The relevant story had a lot of moments where the main girl could have not bothered with the magic. Where she could have stayed in her room and not gone to investigate what the flowers were doing. It had a lot of little elements typical of this magic. It had a lot of elements of following the irrational.
Perhaps this is a magic that is specifically female. Or perhaps the story has other meaning and interpretations. Like most stories. There was more subtext to this story than the simple following of a whimsical journey.
But that's at least, what it could mean, to me.
