When you call it "faith" it ...Hi, Garce,<br /><br />When you call it "faith" it sounds very mysterious, quirky, uncertain. My sense is that it is actually logical and scientific, what the Wiccans call the Higher Law. <br /><br />But it takes a certain power of will and passion of belief to deliberately "bend" reality.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments and for an interesting weekly topic.<br /><br />Best,<br />LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-56809589434653516692009-11-02T21:27:27.461-05:002009-11-02T21:27:27.461-05:00Hello, Ashley,

I'm coming to the discussion a li...Hi Lisabet!<br /><br />I'm coming to the discussion a little late, but what you;re saying here about magic is something I've thought about for a long time. It makes me believe there are levels of reality we don;t really know. Human beings have the ability to bend reality. I was very haunted by a story I heard on the radio about this American nun who lives among the convicts of "Los Pueblos", the worst and most violent prison in Mexico. This is the worst of the worst. She started a mission to the prisoners there, and over time she's earned their trust. They call her "Mother". There was a famous prison riot and the prisoners had weapons and were going to kill the guards and burn the place down and she stopped the riot by pure faith. She told the prisoners to go back to their cells and she would intercede for them with the guards. And they did! That's faith. I could never do that. Speaking as a very disillusioned person, I have to recognise the power of that faith. There are levels of maqic as you say, that simply can't be explained.<br /><br />GArceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-47667025781609144342009-11-02T03:14:02.951-05:002009-11-02T03:14:02.951-05:00Lisabet,
