We created this blog as a vehicle that will make communication between Real Magic students and practitioners possible, and help people support each other in The Great Work.

Many people are out there working alone. As Sylvia becomes more focused on writing and less available for individual readings, please support each other in this difficult passage through the ego jungle. Ask each other questions. Answer questions. It is an opportunity for advanced students to mentor the students on the Path who are just beginning their journey.

This is a time on earth of polarity and restructuring. It is a time of growing community as opportunities to come together are presented to us. Let's make use of this time to give each other truth and blessings on the Path. Thank you.

It's Your Life


Even, and maybe especially, the basics, bear repeating.
What if you choose to experience life directly, without beliefs to interpret it for you, without asking the popular question “What does this mean?" The minute you ask yourself the simple, naked question, “What do I want?” you begin to challenge your beliefs. Because most often, what you want far exceeds what your beliefs have led you to believe is possible. “I want to love unconditionally”…. Oh, well, I’ll never be able to do that, because I’m so insecure, and jealous, and possessive, and angry, and judgmental….
“No, I choose to love unconditionally. I intend for the rest of my life to love unconditionally”… so then you have put it out there that this is a new piece of you that you are creating. The old, fearful, depressed and angry pieces of you find this challenging, and offer up lots of resistance to this new piece. But you keep saying “I want and choose and intend to love unconditionally for the rest of my life” (and you stamp your foot), and it’s amazing how many feelings and emotions and fears and beliefs and disbeliefs arise in the face of such a simple declaration. It’s amazing how much courage it takes to stand firm in such an intention. You can no longer allow yourself to fall back into old behaviors, because you want this.
So, you acknowledge your fears and your doubt, and you ask for your larger, unconditional self to take hold. And you call upon your faith even if you don't have any. And you DO IT. Yes, it’s a slippery slope. Yes, it takes a while. Yes, it’s hard. No, it’s not comfortable. No, it’s not about remembering all the bad things that happened to you that made you so fearful, and depressed and angry. It’s about standing out there with no props and no assurances and saying “But I want to love unconditionally.” And nobody except YOU gives a rat’s ass whether you succeed or not. You are accountable only to yourself (read: God). So, if you cheat, and fall back into your self-importance, your fear, your depression, your anger, nobody even knows! Or cares. Except you (read: God). We have a Teacher because we want to create ourselves, we are devoted to this intention. and we have seeked and we have found. But it is UP TO US.
You have to go out on the biggest limb of your life. For the rest of your life. Period. If you want your life.

    Ditto, what a beautiful example of using power pointing, a tool from the Real Magic Studies course work! Yes it doesn't matter what others think, it only matters what our intention is, ie. to "I want to love unconditionally" or whatever our current choice is. Our fears, doubts, etc will undoubtedly come up but the strength of our shifting the focus, (energy) back to our original choice is the only thing that matters.

    A quick blip to my ego jungle at work: I kept power pointing, "transmuting" my stress into "I am Grace" and today, after 2 hard working days & waking up to a migraine this morning, I find myself wanting to see my clients again today. The sweet interactions I had with several of them, after unknowingly transferring my stress to "I am Grace" made the work joyful instead of stressful. May all my days be blessed!! Thanks to the Real Magic Studies and our hardworking Teacher!!!
