All our dreams could become a reality

Many individuals have mental images of the magical realm that include robed wizards, dusty spellbooks, and strange monsters. However, if we take a step back and look at the world through other eyes, we may understand that magic is not limited to fantastical fiction. This “magic” refers to the profound, often-overlooked understandings that determine our life, which we refer to as “forbidden knowledge.”

As youngsters, we are introduced to the enchanted realm through fairy tales and mythology. We are attracted as youngsters by stories about wizards and enchanted artifacts that may change the course of events. However, as we grow older, we tend to value science, reasoning, and actual information more than the concept of magic. The magic fades, but does it truly vanish, or do we simply stop recognizing it?

Success has no limits

Magic is all about creating something fresh and unique. The ability to manage one’s environment and achieve desired results is central to this idea. When viewed in this light, the supernatural begins to resemble the mundane world.

Consider it like a painter working on a canvas. They transform a flat canvas into a lively tale that moves the heart and inspires the spirit with each brushstroke. Isn’t that a modest accomplishment? Or a scientist working long hours in the lab to create groundbreaking new materials and scientific discoveries. Isn’t this also a magical performance? A mother’s love and sacrifice can also have a significant impact on her child. Isn’t this the most profound magic there is?

Unity brings knowledge

As a result, ‘banned knowledge’ isn’t actually all that forbidden. The realization that we have the power to affect change and transformation by shaping our own reality. But how come we call it “prohibited”? Perhaps it’s because we’ve been taught to consider magic as ridiculous and unrealistic. We’ve been conditioned to believe that magic exists outside of us, rather than within us.

Knowing that everything we do, think, and say sends a wave into the cosmos and casts a spell on the world around us is true magic. The trick is to be aware of this potential and to intentionally employ it to build the world we desire.

Teach your children the reality

Magic, which many dismiss as wishful thinking or the domain of children, is, in fact, all around us. Every action, word, and thought you have is a ritual, incantation, or magic. Being alive is a miraculous feat.

This ‘forbidden wisdom’ is not found in dusty tomes or mystical objects, but rather in our everyday lives. It’s about accepting that you have the ability to shape your own world with each breath you take. As we learn more about something, our perceptions evolve.

The future is endless

If you continue to reject the existence of magic, you should first evaluate yourself and your environment. Consider how your actions affect the world around you. The supernatural is always present, but it operates in the shadows. The magic was always there; you were just too blind to see it.

At its root, magic is not about spells and superhuman skills. It’s about realizing that you have the power to design the life you want. The main sources of magic are your creative potential, flexibility, and personal development. This is the “forbidden knowledge,” the true global magic. You are the magician, and life is the spell you cast, so enjoy it.

Empathy is the key
