Someone was quoting Maharishi speaking about magic. To me, this, all of this is magic.
Why we see all what we see as real, is magic. Why we are able to see the infinite diversity of God, just here and just now, as "humans" on "earth". Considering the size of the Universe, just one, and we all share this perfect dream together, billions of us dreaming this one existence together, so perfectly and coherently that we can share it with each other; a tree is always seen as a tree, a baby as a baby, music always heard as music, food always nourishes, and at the same time, each of us experiences every bit of it uniquely, with enough infinite diversity on this small hot rock to produce infinity within each and every one of us. Pure magic.
