The Magician in His Fullness

What are you like when you express your magic in its fullness?

How does the world respond?

What is the impact of your presence?

What happens to your relationships?

We have to sift through this chapter a bit. It seems to me that even these brilliant Jungian authors are still seeing the world through a mechanistic lens. They are a product of their time. They are enthralled by the baffling magic of technology.

But they are still able to point us in the right direction.

A magician in his fullness is able to “detach from the inner and outer storms and to connect with deep inner truths and resources.” He is someone who “knows the unbelievable force of the ‘sun’ within, and knows how to channel that sun’s energy for maximum benefit.”

That primordial Magician in men has manifested itself most fully in what anthropologists refer to as the shaman. The shaman in traditional societies was the healer, the one who restored life, who found lost souls, and who discovered the hidden causes of misfortune. He was the one who restored wholeness and fullness of being to both individuals and communities.

You do not have to be a medicine man in order to do your part to restore wholeness and fullness to a world in dire need. You just have to learn to come home to the magic that waits at the core of your Self.

See you Monday.

We are focusing on the section titled: “The Magician in His Fullness,” pages 106-110 of King, Warrior, Magician, Lover.
