Dangerous Magic 1: How Magic Saved My Life

In this episode, we go into the wisdom, love, and beauty archives to re-release our series on magic. If you haven’t heard this series, I think you’re in for a treat. It’s like a box of wisdom donuts—paleo superfood wisdom snacks for the soul.

We begin with events from my own life, in which the experience of magic transformed a situation of tension and aggression into spaciousness and wonder.

If you have listened to some or all of this series before, these podcasts usually require more than one listen. We go into ideas that we try to consider in a very accessible way, but those ideas have a lot of nuance and depth in them. Extensive contemplation will bring a lot of benefits, including some inspiration and insight into the nature of magic.

In this series, we try to take a sober look at magic. Can we come to a truly skillful and vitalizing understanding of magic?

As we go along, we begin to see magic is an attitude—an attitude of reverence for the Cosmos.

The experience of magic arises as we enter into the sacredness and interwovenness of life.
