This is getting into the realm of psychic and reality. A place of imagination and dreams. A place
where you can twist your desires into reality, and see it with your very own eyes.
"Pink makes the sky turn purple..."
When getting into the subject of magic, you need to know some basics about reality and the structure of it. This includes understanding to some degree about the fact that we live in a multidimensional reality and just what that actually means.
Multidimensional reality simply put is, reality consisted of multiple co-existing realities of varying similarities and differences, as well as some being side by side and of completely different scenarios altogether.
If you go to a different timezone or location on the earth, you will be in a different dimensional reality then the one you left. As well, there could possibly be a different experience of time in each location as well.
It's possible to have conscious realization of the differences in the dimensional realities that you may visit. I'm talking the ones that are side by side, noticed only as mostly invisible layers after layers. As well as when you are looking around you, you look through a doorway, or around a tree... Etc... If you have the eyes to see, you will possibly notice clearish doorways into other bubble dimensions of reality that exist all around us. To be continued...
With magic, it is for me more about realizing the multidimensional fabric that exist all around us and through us. As well as up. down, left, right, in all directions infinitely. Seemingly so infinite as far as it does in fact seem. The next step in developing a magical skill, would be to start learning to channel energy.
It's the strength of will, determination, energy (which includes emotional, mental, and physical), and the confidence in actually achieving it. Which all these will increase in ability and awareness and trust of that ability, as you practice it each time.
These three main focus points will lead you strongly into a path of having magic in your life. Intuition and trust in yourself and your developing abilities will take you in the direction needed for your life.
Another important key is going to be to learn how to bridge things from the spiritual realms into the physical realm, in order to achieve said task on all layers. You must bridge between them. You can work magic in the spiritual realms and bridge into the physical, and you can work magic in the physical and bridge into the spiritual.
Many will do magic solely on the physical plain, which will achieve results. However, if you do in fact bridge it into the spiritual layers or vise a versa, then you will exponentially increase the affect of your magical abilities. There is much more that can be said about the topic.
To start here will give you a stronger base to strengthen those abilities and the confidence in them. Intuition is going to be the most important key or compass in knowing how or what needs to be done to achieve the desired goal...
