The idea of 'magic' is hung out to keep people hanging on and plugging away in this 'world'. It's no different than the Bible stuff or the new age stuff blah blah blah.

People do the same shit day in and day out and they're always waiting to win the lottery, to get that dream job, to get that perfect spouse. They'll change jobs, change countries, lose weight, buy lottery tickets, move cities, start working out in the HOPE of change. 

In Dutch you have the expression 'Hoop doet leven' which means HOPE IS LIFE. It's no different than the idea of 'magic', it's designed to keep people plugging away

WAITING IS THE TRAP...

That's why the Bible stuff about rapture. It keeps Christians plugging away waiting for the rapture. It also keep them behaving a certain way for THE SCRIPT. 

Same deal with the Eastern/new age shit. People will do shit to achieve enlightenment..stop masturbating, become breatharian or vegan blah blah blah. It ultimately all does nothing

Why do people enjoy watching Harry Potter? To give the illusion that there are people doing magic. It's an escape to watch a Harry Potter movie but in real life who is getting 'magic'

Children have magickal thinking but in what way are they creating magically? Not at all~
