Summary: The magic drive is inherent to all beings: it is the urge to master the unfoldment of phenomenal reality. But the modern ego chose the black magic of technology devoted to war, conquest, and control rather than the white magic of attunement to the will and word of God. The ego has thus become an ongoing magic spell produced by mental insistence on protecting the shadow and keeping consciousness in a trance of ignorance. But the Supreme Magician is now setting us free through the sweet necromancy of grace. Recorded on the afternoon of Tuesday, November 10, 2009.A near-death experience offers the most direct kind of evidence for the reality of God and the immortality of consciousness. An event of that type fulfills our epistemological drive to know the Real, and thus brings about an unfoldment of our supernatural potentials. One also gains an ontological capacity to absolve oneself from any shame or guilt for having fallen into the karmic morass of ignorance and sin. The double nature of karma proves it is less retributive than soteriological in essence, as the past cause and the future intent meet and one discovers the perfection of becoming that was all along hidden in order to produce the salvific effect of divine revelation.
