I found the article "Entering The Magical Realm" by accident, while researching something totally different. You'll need to read it through a few times to grasp the subtle message it contains. "Magic is misunderstood and underused in modern day life" Quote: "It stands to reason that useless rites would have long been discarded, so perhaps magic hasn't been given the credit it is due." I think Mike might have a point, but using magic to describe natural events that have as yet no explaination is probably a mistake. In science, nano technology might end up being the ultimate "magic". When things get really small, strange things often randomly happen. In religion, the power of prayer has been studied and some people believe this could be the ultimate "magic" to fix the world's problems. A massive study has found that patients admitted to hospital with heart trouble fare better if someone is praying for them. Many people disbute the research. Other ideas about magic trace things back to the creation of the universe, where something very small suddenly became very big... now THAT'S MAGIC! |
