THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS

In another dimension of the Crystal house..."Modern times, Christmas time once again. Everywhere we see people putting up Christmas decorations and shopping for the holidays. We know that there are also other cultures that commemorate this time of the year with different beliefs and different ways, but let's talk specifically about Christmas. It's a time when we can see people being  more charismatic and more conscious of the needs of the less fortunate. People become more giving and friendly acknowledging the ones that don't have conditions to commemorate the holidays, specially poor kids. So, this is the Magic that surrounds Christmas time. And why is that? All of a sudden during this special time we just feel touched by this spirit of goodness and caring. We somehow also start to look back and remember people that we don't see for a long time, and we think about the ones that are gone, and we think about time, and sometimes it just feels kind of gloomy.
We actually should always have that kind of spirit all year long, not only during Christmas time; I don't mean the gloomy feeling though, but all that spirit of caring for other people, and being helpful and all. It's kind of hypocritical sometimes if you think about the situation, being so nice and caring only during Christmas time, and then, back to daily distant and cold feelings towards each others. So, what if people could realize this and change their hearts to keep up the beautiful spirit all year long? Is that possible? O,r in the end it's just about something that is affecting everybody this way, only during Christmas time? So, we can say that during this special time of the year, there is really Magic in the air, wherever people commemorate Christmas. It's the Magic of Christmas."

The dark forest and its magic


MAGIC

   The great Wizard and his apprentice were walking through the dark green forest on this beautiful misty morning sometime during the 5th century. Aidrian, his apprentice, who was a young boy still in his teen years, asked the Wizard: "Wizard, how do you define magic?"
   The Wizard replied: "Magic...is not only that power which you are now searching to develop, Aidrian, magic is also perceived all around you. When you look at these beautiful and powerful trees, you come to think that they were only a small seed long time ago, and from that, these whole forests sprouted! It's Magic, isn't it? Then at night, you stare at the myriad, sprinkling stars and what do you see? Can you even imagine the space beyond and beyond the Moon? It's Magic!"
    "Wow, I really never thought about this." said Aidrian.
    "No, people don't realize. Everything around you is really magical, and it's the gift of Life, the Power that it's unseen, the Power from the Creator!"
   "Yes, and it's beautiful!" replied Aidrian in amazement with the Wizard's thoughts.
    "And people live their lives with such narrow vision and mind, that they can't see beyond that. Look around you, Adrian, there is silence and peace in this dark forest, and there is Magic also. But very far from here and during a different time, too many people will be living totally unaware of the whole Magic of the Universe. They will be living far from our knowledge and very few will keep the true Magic to perceive that they will be surrounded by it."
