It takes training to reach “deeper” thoughts but there might be a “shortcut” to observing your own thoughts. When resting and especially when close to sleep it is in my experience easyer to be a spectator and watch your thoughts. You might eventually also be able to notice that there are more than one stream of thoughts when you are in “close to sleep” awareness. I am not certain about how much of a shortcut this is since I have not started to experience thought patterns this way myself but it seems likely that it can be a way worth exploring.
In my present situation when rather used to observe my own thoughts I am sometimes able to experience and sort out things in an interesting fashion when I am in “close to sleep” situations. The “best” situations are when waking up in the middle of the night and /or when waking up early morning when one is aware but not fully awake. In these situations, awareness of outer stimuli is much less disturbing and then awareness of things happening in our mind gets easier.

If you in “close to sleep” situations notice and follow your thoughts you might be more aware of the fact that you can be a spectator. You might also eventually be able to realize that you can think about the fact that you are thinking and hence realize that there is more than one thought pattern in your mind.
Another thing you might notice is that suddenly when sleep is close there might pop up strange thoughts and or pictures like for example a sudden person coming into view and / or a voice saying something strange or suddenly a landscape appearing. This happens when we come in contact with our dreaming world when being awake or almost awake. When this happens it is very obvious that we have an inner world far more complex than just our conscious thoughts.

Being awake but in contact with our dreaming ability is interesting and positive and the more we can explore and learn about the gateway to the dreaming world and how to be aware of ourselves in our dreams the more we might realize how fragile our ordinary “reality” is and that there is less difference between “reality” and dream than most people think there is.

To always be fully self-conscious when dreaming is however in my opinion not something either easy or desirable. It might actually not be possible for a human. The “world” outside of this reality is eternally complex so there is as I see it no way to be in control in more than a very limited way. Even if you get some skill in navigating in dreams you need to mostly let go and let dreams just happen otherwise you will risk losing yourself.
Some control is however an advantageous thing. There is one thing you might learn if you explore the “border country” between dreaming and wakefulness and that is to affect the outcome of a dream and / or change a dream.
For me this is sometimes possible for example when I wake up and the dream I just have had is bad and I feel affected in a bad way. If I can let myself rest close to sleep while aware and in control and if the dream is still vivid enough to reach I might go back into the dream while being in the “borderland” and find ways to alter things.
It is then possible to change a bad situation by letting my imagination free. Imagining is close to dreaming and since in dreams everything is possible I can for example let myself fly away from something bad or I can bring in someone giving help. I can make a monster suddenly vanish in an abyss or let myself get superpowers. Whatever is needed and can be imagined is worth trying. Trying this you might end up getting more and more awake sometimes but even so the dream will have lost some of its negative power.

There is or at least was before our “civilization” reached them an interesting culture in central Malaysia called the Senoi people. They worked actively with dreams as a central part of their life. Children were from an early age taught to get in control to make the dreams positive
It is said that the Senoi did not suffer from neurosis or psychoses which might sound hard to believe. But this fact is said to be well researched with results confirming this. The way they handle their dreams seems to be the key to this.

You can find more info about the Senoi on the internet. Here below is one link
https://www.malaysiasite.nl/senoieng.htm

If you have read what I have written so far you will most certainly be aware of the fact that our view of reality and our bonds to our perceived reality are central subjects about which I try to give more light.

To start with I need to say someting about perception. Perception is just perception and nothing else. What we perceive is NOT the same as reality. Perception just makes us able to make a map which we need and must have to navigate our existence. What we get is however just a map and what we perceive is NOT reality at least not in a way which makes it possible to say that "this is it" or "this is the way reality is."
Our perception is very limited. If you think about how it is for a dog the map must be very different from ours. Smell is for example a very important part and in what other ways it differs we can only try to imagine but never grasp fully.
I have another example. I have given you some info about our deeper thoughts and thought streams and I have among other things mentioned the thought streams which we perceive as very rapid and which at least partly has to do with our intuition. These thought streams are however of course not rapid in an absolute sense. Someone perceiving things differently from us could very well find them rather slow and easy to follow. The "rapidity" is just our own conclusion due to our limited perceptivity and for almost everyone these thoughts are only perceived as a kind of knowledge or conclusion about something which we dont know where it comes from.

Let´s look at the basic things concerning our "map" from my view on the subject.
We humans order everything and we give names to everything. However when you think about names you must realize that name giving has developed under a long period together with the development of speech and social structures. A very long time ago there were no names.
How is the difference in perception when you have/know a name and / or when you know the function of a subject and its place in it´s natural surroundings? compared to perceiving without having a name and without knowing much or maybe nothing about what you perceive?
What difference is there when you have associations already built up in your brain due to your own upbringing and personal development? compared to knowing very little or nothing?
Think about a flock of chimpanzees and then a flock/tribe of early humans and then a small community of isolated Indians in the Amazonas and try to imagine how their reality must differ from ours. The systems used for perception might be similar or almost so, BUT how we experience what we perceive is probably very different as is most of the associations and conclusions that are made in those different cultural circumstances.
Imagine how it must be when there are just you and your tribe and forest and animals and there is almost no order in the perceived reality. No names and no system. Everything is just smells, sounds, forms and colours and there is life of different kind all around you. You might have to be very cautious and in preparedness all the time. Your basic instincts and reflective learning are maybe the main tools you have to live a successful life. Try to imagine how enormously different life must have been. The world will be shrouded in mystery and at night there are only stars and maybe the moon giving light. Maybe under those circumstances your perception, your senses could register things which now are hidden because in our ordered life they have no place?
Maybe it is so that “reality” will change the more you order things and the more you name things and the more you learn about the place and function of things and maybe when all mystery has left we only see what we have in our common development sorted out as being real and maybe there are things there but we don´t see or perceive them. It could be so that reality gets more and more fixed and stable the more it is ordered and systematized. If that is the case “reality” might change continuously and especially might this be the case with the borders of reality.

On top of naming and ordering we have the way we place things in a time frame.
In the western world we count the “solar rings/circles” from a claimed birth date for Jesus Christ. There was much fuss about the coming of year 2000 and what might eventually happen as if 2000 would be special in spite of just being an invention. In the medieval times it is said that many people believed that the world would end year 1000.
Every new circle around the sun is just another circle and how we name or count them has no connection to “real” facts but invented such. Other cultures than the Christian order these circles differently and it is just a way to order time and nothing else. To order time is a way to make communities be more stable and easier to govern. It also serves to make our historical background easier to use as a reference in different manners and when it comes to perceiving our environment it is of help in ordering and systematizing.
Hours and minutes and seconds are just other invented things or systematic pieces which are very important for us BUT in themselves mean nothing. The circle of the sun is actually more “real” since it can be perceived and registered as an ever returning rhythm in life the same way dark and bright, day and night comes and goes.
If reality changes with cultural development and ordering and systematizing and especially if the borders of reality does it might be so that perceived reality gets more and more “narrow” in one way at the same time as we make it “wider” in another way when we expand our way of ordering systematizing and naming. This could be the case because ordering and systematizing and naming makes borders very fixed and stable and then we might or will not perceive things outside the borders we create.
You should also realize that our perceptive abilities are very very limited. There are an enormous number of stimuli for which we have no perceptive organ and or where our organs are insufficient. Think of a dog and the ability to smell or an eagle and vision or a bat and sound. Deep in the ocean at several thousand meters there are animals and plants with senses we don’t know much about and what about eventual beings in other parts of the universe and on other worlds?
When you think about all the above it is obvious how we actually create our base for the reality we experience by ordering and systematizing and that we make it possible to in our brain make processing easier because of the order we create and then we see/ experience reality as it will look or as it “seem to be” as a result of our own cultural and social development.
Another thing is that reality even if we build it up and maintain it collectively in the end is a totally personal thing. You cannot know for sure what´s inside another person´s mind and how another person perceive and experience our common reality. You can just believe and make assumptions which hopefully are correct enough to make your social life function.
That said I realize that there at least seem to be very many similarities. I work as a Gestalt therapist and my own experiences and my own references are important in my work since they make it possible to during therapy sessions understand what happens inside people who come to me for help. I think or “believe” that I am right most of the time and at least I seem to be right enough to make what I do as a helper function well enough to make people feel more safe and happy and learn to manage their life in a better and more successful way. To be able to use my own experiences and inner learnings as an instrument I however have had to learn to disconnect from and be less bound by them. This means that I can “see and feel” how my inner programming has a tendency to govern my life but by disconnecting I can refrain from being controlled and I can often consciously choose how to react and what to do. The way to learn this is not easy and it is the result of much personal work in psychotherapy, meditation and other methods for personal development.
I describe this use of my own inner programming to make a point. Even if each person has his or her own reality, we also have a common one and we have built a common ground which functions relatively well. The functioning of our common ground is however NOT the same thing as proof that we perceive reality the same. It is the learning how to act and react to stimuli and perception which constitutes the common ground.

There is something more to add about naming and that concerns naming each other as humans. As i have said names are just names, labels that we use for ordering things and being able to separate things and think and talk about them in a structured way.
It is important to realise that your own name is also just a label and NOT you.
Your personality does not origin from your name even if you might be very much affected by it. If you think of your name as who you are you limit yourself and also confirm that you are no more than a product coming from the people who have given you your name. Usually this is your parents. I must point out that you are not their creation or product even if they have had a very big influence on who you are. You are something more than both your name and body and to realise this is an important part of freeing yourself from your internal bonds and programs. When you accept this you will be much more free and this acceptance can actually be a major "bond loosener" which weakens other internal bonds.
It is important to point out that realizing and accepting that you are not your name but something more does NOT mean that you love your parents less. On the contrary you will be more free to love and accept them.

Our brain is the central processing part in our body. It is where we order and systematize our world. The difference between the two halves of our brain is however almost total with the left half systemizing most things and the right processing feelings visualization imagination and other functions where system and order are not central. As the two halves of our brain govern the opposite sides of the body this means that the left half governs the right side of our body and vice versa. Even if the halves are connected and both bodily halves can work together we are two sided also functionally in some basic aspects and hence as the brain halves are very different our bodily halves are also different.
The difference concerning the halves of both body and brain is as big as the difference between man and woman, between day and night, between oneness and separation. This means the difference is in its basic aspects total. However for full functionality both sides of both brain and body need each other.
When it comes to order and reality it is the left brain half which store and process everything and in our modern culture this side is strongly favoured and we are out of balance and in a way victimized by this in spite of all progress we make due to our ordering and systematizing.
In earlier cultures and maybe a few so called primitive ones of today both sides were probably more balanced and a person could know that he or she is separate and at the same time feel / experience being a part of the whole, the oneness. I can of course not know this for sure but I believe/surmise it could be the case. Another thing is that this might also be connected to / a parallel to the fact that the borders of reality probably were less distinct in earlier cultures.
Because of the unbalance in our culture there is a hunger for oneness which manifests itself in the exaggerated way we flock to and sometimes are victims to religion and religious habits. If you live in a way were you all the time can know you are separate but at the same time in an obvious way feel connected to oneness, religion might be less important or at least less dogmatic.

I once listened to a very interesting lecture by the Harvard-trained neuroanatomist dr Jill Bolte Taylor. She told of her own experience when she had a severe stroke which manifested mainly in the left half of the brain. The story she tells is fascinating. Loosing much of the ordering function of the left half of her brain it was as if she was “pushed” over to the right side and she actually felt as if she was connected to everything else and as if there were no borders between her and everything else around her. Her story makes it very clear how the two halves of the brain are different and it also gives a clue to how and in what way true magic might be possible. I consider her story extremely important since it describes what is the role of the right half of our brain. referring to Don Juan Mathus this half is the Nagual part governing the Nagual or left side of our body and it is the Nagual side which makes change of reality possible.

I urge you to follow this link to You tube and listen to Jill Bolte Taylor telling her story: My stroke of insight | Jill Bolte Taylor - YouTube

When it comes to our brain halves, our bodily halves and our ordering and systematizing of our outer and inner world and how we build reality and how we are bound by this activity I have not found any better description of this than the one found in the books by Carlos Castaneda. His teacher Don Juan Mathus can very vividly describe what it is we do, how it affects us and how it binds us. Don Juan talks about Nagual and Tonal as being our two halves and he makes it very clear that it is the Tonal, the left half of our brain which forms our reality. He however talks about Tonal as being our right side and hence he makes no difference between body and mind, brain and body in the way we do in western science. For him body and mind seem to be so integrated that they should not or need not be separated. When it comes to how we function I fully agree with that view since it is obvious in psychotherapeutic work how strong the integration is between body and/brain.

I have quoted several of Don Juans statements and explanations in the chapter about Carlos Castaneda. What he tells us is however worth repeating so I quote him again here below. As far as I know there is no written legacy from Don Juan Mathus except what is found in Castanedas books and if you really want to go deeper and learn about our way of building our reality and what it takes to loosen our bonds to it you will have to read the books Carlos Castaneda has written as a pupil to Don Juan. The books might change your life. Just don’t get discouraged by the drugs used in the first books. They are not an important part of what Don Juan teaches. When you go further and reach book 3 and 4 the actual teaching becomes more obvious.

Since this part of my book is about reality I repeat the following quotations from the book Tales of power by Carlos Castaneda. I repeat it because the content is very much in line with things I have said in the above about reality, about our brain and how we order reality. Hopefully you will also get a better understanding of the importance of the right side of the brain.
(Tales of power 1974; pp 231-233, 245, 247-248, 265.)

..... "The first act of a teacher is to introduce the idea that the world we think we see is only a view, a description of the world. Every effort of a teacher is geared to provide this point to his apprentice. But accepting it seems to be one of the hardest things one can do. We are complacently caught in our particular view of the world, which compels us to feel and act as if we knew everything about the world. A teacher, from the very first act he performs aims at stopping that view. Sorcerers call it stopping the internal dialogue and they are convinced that it is the single most important technique that an apprentice can learn".....

....."Stopping the internal dialogue is , however the key to the sorcerers world," he said. "The rest of the activities are only props. All they do is accelerate the effect of stopping the internal dialogue".....

....."The teacher reorders the view of the world. I have called that view the island of the Tonal. I´ve said that everything that we are is on that island. The sorcerers´ explanation says that the island of the Tonal is made by our perception, which has been trained to focus on certain elements. Each of those elements and all of them together form our view of the world. The job of a teacher, insofar as the apprentice´s perception is concerned, consists of reordering all the elements of the island on one half of the bubble. By now you must have realized that cleaning and reordering the island of the Tonal means regrouping all its elements on the side of reason. My task has been to disarrange your ordinary view, not to destroy it, but to force it to rally on the side of reason".....

...."He drew an imaginery circle on the rock and devided it in two along a vertical diameter. He said that the art of a teacher was to force his disciple to group his view of the world on the right half of the bubble.
"Why the right half?" I asked.
"thats the side of the Tonal,"he said. The teacher always addresses himself to that side, and by presenting his apprentice on the one hand with the warrior´s way he forces him into reasonableness and sobriety, and strength of character and body; and by presenting him on the other hand with unthinkable but real situations which the apprentice cannot cope with, he forces him to realise that his reason, although it is a most wonderful affair, can only cover a small area".....

....."Walking in that specific manner saturates the Tonal," he said. It floods it. You see, the attention of the Tonal has to be placed on its creations. In fact, it is that attention that creates the order of the world in the first place; so the Tonal must be attentive to the elements of its world in order to maintain it, and must, above all, uphold the world as an internal dialogue.
He said that the right way of walking was a subterfuge. The warrior, first by curling his fingers, drew attention to the arms; and then by looking, without focusing the eyes, at any point directly in front of him on the arc that started at the tip of his feet and ended above the horizon, he litteraly flooded his Tonal with information. The Tonal without its one-to-one relation with the elements of its description, was incapable of talking to itself, and thus became silent".... ( Authors remark: This is partly a description of a certain kind of walking practise taught by don Juan)

....."Order in our perception is the exclusive realm of the Tonal; only there can our actions have a sequence; only there are they like stairways where one can count the steps. There is nothing of that sort in the Nagual. Therefore the view of the Tonal is a tool, and as such it is not only the best tool but the only one we´ve got"....

...."Dreaming is a practical aid deviced by sorcerers, he said. they were no fools; they knew what they were dooing and sought the usefulness of the Nagual by training their Tonal to let go for a moment, so to speak and then grab again. This statement doesn´t make sense to you. But that´s what you´ve been doing all along: training yourself to let go without loosing your marbles. Dreaming of course, is the crown of the sorcerers´ efforts, the ultimate use of the Nagual."

One more thing worth mentioning about reality is the fact that everything we perceive is based on mathematics and geometry. Certain patterns repeat themselves and some proportions are always there. The Golden ratio and the Fibonacci sequence are two main building stones repeating themselves endlessly. An interesting fact is that the two are visually almost totally similar and despite that fact they are totally different in one central aspect. The Golden ratio is endless and connected to eternity and the Fibonacci sequence seems to be but is not.
It could be that they represent duality in the same way our two brain halves do and like them are looking alike but in spite of that they are totally different

If you want to study the way Mathematics and so-called Sacred Geometry is building reality you should read the 2 books Flower of Life by Drunvalo Melchizedek. There are a lot of interesting information in his theories, but there are also things he claims that can be rather difficult to "digest".
If you however focus on the holy geometry and stay critic to some other parts in his books you will probably get an input of new knowledge and insights which are difficult to find anywhere else. His insights in geometry shows us the mathematical and geometrical base forcreation and how it forms what we call reality. There are also parallels to modern string theory, fractal theory and quantum physics which are obvious for anyone who dig under the surface of his teachings.
If you like me are a biologist his theories are very interesting since they connect mathematics/geometry and biology in a way that might change your view of the world we live in. He gives very fascinating info considering the relation between the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden ratio and the relation between the geometry and duality and the geometrical/mathematical differences between male and female beings. According to his theories a male being have no direct connection to eternity while a female is directly connected to eternity via the womb since the female womb geometrically is the centre of a golden ratio. Hence there is an abyss separating men and women and this also gives an understandable base for the irresistible attraction between sexes.

This is a book of magic. I dwell a lot on how to work on yourself. This is because this is very important and necessary if you want to reach parts of yourself where it is possible to make more considerable changes in yourself and / or your perceived reality.
Magic and change is not possible if you don´t know how to unlock the fixed patterns that constitutes reality and you must start with what is fixed inside yourself and what makes you subconsciously build the world and make you feel safe and like you know how things are.
The fixed patterns are there for a purpose and actually give security even if they sometimes make the world you live in rigid and stiff. It is important to sort out the "bad stuff" and accept and keep most of what you have learned. Otherwise you will make reality collapse.
To navigate what you perceive as reality you however need to be consciously choosing at certain points when you find it needed for what you want and need and for what you think is right.

Disconnecting from duality

What I write below is "hearsay" and what I concluded and deduced from different sources
There is a place between right and left and also between up and down. This is also a place in our nervous system, a gate located in the old parts of the brain but also connected to the pineal gland. This place is also in some way connected to our heart. Location has however no relevance for how you experience the place in your mind and body. Mostly there is a feeling and some kind of visual representation and there might also be sound and even smell that helps you perceive this door or gate or whatever this place is.
Experiencing this place we might be able to leave duality. We will be outside left and right, Tonal and Nagual, BUT still connected to both. This is not an easy thing to do. If you succeed the ordinary governing of our mind due to our two different halves of the brain is no longer the same. Heaven and earth as opposed also loose relevance.
Reaching and/or being in this place we are in connection with change itself, the place where creation takes place. Creation is an ongoing process but at the same time there is no space or time here so both nothing and everything goes on at once. Everything is possible in this place and with a proper anchor it is possible to navigate here. The proper anchor is your heart so getting to know your heart is the best thing you can do for yourself since the heart is our best instrument for navigation also in the ordinary world.
In the beginning of this book I have pointed out the importance on working with finding and connecting to your heart and it is good to realise that there are only benefits from working with your heart and your ability to love life and creation.

The place I refer to could also be said to be between Yes an No and it is almost like a razors edge. To be there is to be free from judgement, free from conclusions free from confirming reality. Being there you are just the observer. Being there is closely connected to what I have previously said about straightening out thoughts and feelings and refraining from making judgements and conclusions.
Walking the line here is however even more subtle and difficult. You might perceive your heart as it is involved in our process of upholding the world. One heartbeat saying Yes and the next saying No endlessly repeating itself. Walking this line is like keeping one heartbeat in your left hand and the next in your right. Or you could say you have them like weights in the ends of a balancing rod. To walk this line you keep the balance and refrain from saying either Yes nor No and hence you dwell in between the two. This place is outside of duality. Still, you are still here inside duality, but part of you stretch out and dwell elsewhere. This makes it possible to act like a link from here to somewhere else.

There is another "similar" and probably "easier way" to be with your mind outside of this reality at the same time as you are here. It has other qualities and is not at all the same as being outside of duality. It has however some of the same qualities when it comes to experience. Because of this it might give a clue to what it really could mean to step outside our reality
I am not experienced enough to be able to judge eventual similarities with the walking of the line described above.
To succeed in doing this you need to be one of the persons who perceive the year as a circular event or process which you visualise inside your mind. I think many people perceive the running of the year this way, but I know that everybody does not. If you don´t maybe you need to work on doing so before being able to do this exploring or maybe you can find another way. I will try to describe this exploring as best as I can.
Perceiving the year as running as a circle, as a circular thing, you should realize that there is an opposite side of this circle where the year runs in the opposite direction. You should work on reaching the other side and see the way time runs in a circle opposed to what you are used to. When you manage this step, the next thing is to realise that there is an edge where you can dwell between the two sides. (The process can also be such that you find the edge of the circle before being able to move to the opposite side.) Do your best to stay on the edge, explore it and learn it´s qualities. Being on the edge you cannot directly perceive the circular aspect. It is like walking the earth. If you walk there you seem to be walking in a straight line. There might be a spinning quality, a movement, but I think you should follow your own way when there and explore this in the way you find to be interesting. As for myself I have always found it easier to do these mental/inner explorations when getting close to midwinter solstice with an optimal point about a week after this reference point. It has been as if there is an "opening" at that time and I have actually felt an urge to try this out, an urge which has grown stronger and stronger the closer the year comes to midwinter. It was like a "calling" for several years. This calling stopped when I reached the next step.
The next step in this exploring process was for me to be/stay on the edge of the circular yearly movement and after I finished exploring it to let myself be thrown away from the whole thing. Firstly, I went what felt like straight out, but once away all references went away and there was no straight out. The only reference left was myself and I actually had my own perception of a body with me. Apart from that there was/is like nothing at all. No upside or downside. It does not matter much if you spin or feel like just sitting or lying down. There are things to explore here. I think however you should not dwell there too long but go back after a while. It might be that you could lose yourself in this place if you lose your self-perception.
I have found out that there are other beings out in this "limbo". I have not perceived anything really threatening so far, but there could eventually be threats if you lose you anchor and your self-perception starts to fade away. There is a feeling of unlimited possibilities here, but most overwhelming is the quality of nothingness and lack of reference.
For those of you who are used to the shamanistic ways of travelling I think this travelling might not be so hard. I however don´t think this realm outside the circle is the same as the realms usually explored by shamans. There is a more overall and universal quality to being out in the realm described above.

How to do magic.

If you have read through the text so far you certainly realize that I cannot and will not give instructions on how to do magic. This is partly because for myself I don’t do more than the very small “magic” which is part of my profession but it is mostly because as I have explained above to do magic you must change very much in your way of connecting to your perceived reality and this includes much work with your inner “world” and view of the world.
From what I have written in the chapters above one might eventually assume that if you can leave your Tonal side, leave the influence of the left half of your brain and be in your Nagual side, your right brain half, magic will be possible. This not totally farfetched since in our Nagual self we disconnect from our bonds to our perceived reality. In our Nagual self, borders are dissolving and anything is possible. We come in contact with wholeness, with creation itself and see and experience things we mostly don’t see or experience. If you however have clicked the link to where Jill Bolte Taylor tells about her experience when having a stroke due to an aneurysm in her left brain half you might realize that being totally in your Nagual self you are as much a victim as when you are trapped in your ordinary reality and even more so since you lose most of your ordinary abilities to act. As I see it and as it is possible to deduce in my writings to really induce change of reality you must be able to reach both brain halves, both your Tonal side and your Nagual side WITHOUT being trapped or victimized. To do this you need to firstly learn how to disconnect from your Tonal side and from your programming and secondly or in a common parallel process you must learn how to reach and explore your Nagual side. You will need your reason to navigate and to be able to do anything at all when in your Nagual side. Hence you cannot just leave reason behind. You will need to have a purpose and ability to do, to act to induce change. This is not easy and you will need to have learned more about intent which is something found deeper inside than where you find ordinary will and readiness to act. You will have to know what it is that you do on a deeper level when you make decisions and when acting. On these deeper levels thought processes are much more rapid and there might be several thought processes going on at the same time or at least seeming to be.
Metaphors and “thought packages” are needed for using intent. You will need the ability to know the inner “content” of what you want to change or affect and this content is quite something else than the ordinary labels we put on everything to create order.
However there are degrees in all this. Working on yourself and exploring you will make small “winnings” in the process and you will learn things and new things will be possible. What I describe in the above is for the few and for those willing to sacrifice much. What to win might be questionable. There might be much loneliness awaiting those taking this path all the way and if you do your need of context and of an open heart will be great.

About Chi

The Life force also called Chi or Kundalini or Ki and many other names as well is said to be what fill the place outside of duality. There are limitless amounts of energy in this place, but it is hard to bring it into our reality. Chi is constantly flowing but the work and process of keeping up duality takes almost all of the energy away to keep balance constant. You might fill yourself and replenish yourself when going there but to bring life force here crave a constant openness to the "outsideness" where you are not really part of the "keeping up" process that upholds our reality and you need to keep this openness and at the same time take part in the duality process. To do this is very difficult and craving. The Nagual beings have a lot for free here since they are different and actually constitutionally suited to keep that kind of openness without as much effort as ordinary humans.

Short about magicians of today

The first you must realise is that a true magician will not expose him or herself easily. This is not hard to understand. You can probably imagine what it would be like for a person showing that magic exists and having his or her abilities exposed. The pressure would be enormous and he or she would be put in question and never be able to live a normal life. He or she would also be constantly asked to help others and since magicians in most ways are as limited as others this would lead to taxation and severe personal problems.
One more thing is that there are forces in the world that could be very dangerous for such a person. Not all magicians are good and the less good or evil forces would target anyone being exposed this way. The better you hide the better and the more normal you seem the better it is.
At the same time you need some support and you need people around you that accept who you are.

For those who can see more it is maybe? possible to find out who might have magic abilities.
The following is mostly "hearsay" and speculation.
There are different kinds of people with magical qualities. Some are found in groups or tribes where magic is still considered possible. Gypsies for instance not seldom have some abilities partly due to their genetic lines combined with an openness to the existence of magic. The same goes for some native tribes around the world and also larger native groups like the aborigines in New Zealand and Australia.
There are probably also a few magicians who hide themselves among stage magicians seeming to do "trick magic" but occasionally using their true abilities in their profession.
Magicians with varying skill are said to be living among the so called "travelling people." This is where you might also find a few persons with greater abilities.
The travelling people are not a homogeneous group, but often have connections all over the world. They are travellers in the sense that they move around more than most people and they are sometimes very good artists in different areas of artistry.
There are also magicians living in different spiritual communities where they are relatively safe from exposure and exploitation.
Magicians with deeper abilities however mostly live more or less normal lives and you cannot find out who they are and/or what they can do. True magic is very rare so they are not many.

Things to always remember

Never forget the need of working on your heart. Your heart is your main anchor and should be in the centre of everything you do. You should also consider where you have your loyalty. Is it only directed towards humans? If so you should reconsider this fact and start working on your love for all of creation.

Remember also that everything that you CAN NOT IMAGINE is possible. Think also about how limited your perception is and try to imagine the endless amount of information and perceptive influences that are not available through your senses

Always be aware of the fact that magic should never be used if it is not necessary to aid this planet or other beings in need of help

Since it takes a lot of energy to maintain the world, to maintain “reality,” you also need energy to change it. Maintaining the world is a collective thing, something we all do together. There are rules to follow and you are expected to follow the rules. To do magic in the sense of really changing something you will have to "break those rules." Breaking those rules will in some sense make you an "outlaw", a person who does not respect what most people deep down consider "a contract".
You should take care to not expose yourself too much to others since you risk getting very much attention positive as well as negative.
As for me I just know some things about the conditions for magic. Getting attention for knowing some small things about magic is OK for me since I stay on the side of seeing and not doing.
I think it is time to let more knowledge of magic come back to this world. I am not alone in this. Spiritual and magical schools have come out of hiding these days and knowledge and understanding is spreading.
