The practice of magic is about turning our everyday waking lives into lucid dreaming, cultivating a somewhat "altered state of mind" as our everyday mindset. As we do this much of our sense of separatedness dissolves and we feel more inner peace and oneness with our world. Spirits start talking to us, as they did to our hunter-gatherer ancestors. Our everyday life becomes more like dreaming -- i.e., more magical. This is the road that each of us must travel as individuals; and which the human race as a whole will have to follow if it is to survive and prosper. It is the road of entering into a state of lucid dreaming from a position which starts from being awake (instead of asleep, as usual). This means understanding that waking consciousness is lucid dreaming; and the only reason we can't see that is because we must keep up the pretense that what we're doing is "real" and important. Therefore we can't see that it's all just a dream.
At this writing there don't seem to be too many lucid dreamers out there; but there are lots of people merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily dancing a jig on their descent into the coming nightmare. It's time now for everyone to wake up.(excerpted from Magical Almanac Ezine, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MagicalAlmanac
