The Wisdom Factor
10 January 2011
We can all become magicians. It is just a matter of transforming our
consciousness. Our consciousness is transmuted when we really
believe we are already magicians.
Alchemy of Consciousness
There has always been the understanding in the
wisdom traditions of the human race that our
personal and shared consciousness is a
multilevelled and vast universe. It is only in
modern times that the publicly acknowledged
adjudicators of wisdom, our scientific and medical
profession, have reduced consciousness to one
level and even in that level made a limited aspect,
rational thinking, the pre-eminent mode.
The end result is that many people are separated
from the reality of the richness of their
consciousness. The truth is that a limited
consciousness is a limited life. The materialist
scientific paradigm has diverted us into arguments
and doubts about truth out there, whereas, in fact

mysterious dust. Alchemy is about moving out of a
world of effort, struggle and suffering into a
spontaneous and artless unlimited universe of
charm and enchantment, a universe of harmony
where our dreams can literally become true.
We need to believe that the magical universe is the
genuine universe and the mundane world is the
unnecessary prison in which we have been trapped.
We need to return to the innocence of childhood
and re-create our magical world into a wonderful
reality of harmony.
The mechanical everyday world is so utterly
boring. Instead of looking for little islands of
enchantment to offset the mundanity of most of our
days and years, let us all become wizards, fairy
godmothers, elves and fairies and let us turn the
earth and the whole our lives into an enchanted
existence where we live together joyfully and
creatively. The truth is that if we all want it and
