It is so Big and I am so Small

From XXXX to me:

It is my belief that there once was real magic. Our history is littered with examples such as Merlin, Simon Magus, Faust and others. I would define real magic as being that which existed before magic tricks & magick split from each other. It died after Aleister Crowley died.

Real magic is exactly what you think it is. It is the ability to fly. Real, physical effects. Moving objects without touching them. Etc.

How you go about obtaining these results is through intense practice.
One of the greatest examples of a person who was able to do this was Daniel Dunglas Home.
Witches, monks, yogis, shamans, etc. flying is one of the CORE tenets of being a magician.
Practice is KEY.

I hope you understand what I am trying to say. Real, objective results.

Therefore I am gonna do 2 things from this day onward.
1 build my muscles
2 levitation exercise

Even if I die without flying, it will be worth the exercise....

From Anthony Trammel to XXXX:

When I was about 22 years old I finally got a chance to go up to Berkley, CA from Los Angeles.

I hoped to take advantage of the many Buddhist monasteries there to learn more about Buddhism. I had just come across references to Mahayana Buddhists and hoped to find some there.

I didn't know exactly what they were but, that they looked at it as their duty to bring enlightenment to all beings I felt it MY duty to find them and learn from them.

I went from temple to temple asking after Mahaynism but, it wasn't until I got to a zen temple that I got a partial answer. They were in the middle of a weeklong zazen retreat and a few of them sat outside taking a break.

I asked one of them about it and he looked at the others and said, in all seriousness, "The mahayans. There used to be Mahayanist Buddhist but there aren't any anymore. I think the hindus killed them all in India about two thousand years ago."

I walked away heartbroken.
