Ive recently started reading Aliester Crowleys short fables called The Golden Twigs . In one story a magician who is famous for manifesting rain for the people passes his secret method on to his apprentice . Its simple . When people approach him asking him to make rain and he sees the signs in nature that rain is near he agrees to do " magic " that conjours rain . If no rain is coming he throws an artistic wobbly and scares the asker who runs away in awe and fear . So he only performs when he knows he can " deliver " as such .
Do we pray when we subconsciously know that the events we crave are actually coming anyway . What about positive thinking ? Does this work the same ? How about " magic " ? Did we know before trying to influence the out come of a situation that we it was always going our way . Do we kid our selves on with a perceived sense of control ? If we know were getting what we want in the future is this magic in its self ? Is magic or praying just a sign of magic already manifested and completed ? Is pray an after event , not a event previous . This is a bit like the Preterism idea strangely . This thought has just popped in my head now . Its funny how reading anothers ideas can unlock your own mind . I like this . This doesn't happen everyday....
