Real Magic

Question: Have you ever encountered any magical event? 

Knud Rosenmayr JDPSN:  Yes. Sitting here talking to you. That’s real magic. Yeah, there are many stories, and we kind of like to listen to these magical stories. But then, when we really perceive this moment freshly, then that’s real magic. Also, during sitting, then all these old problems come. All the thinking, all the old programs and ideas. But as soon as we say old, we are not looking freshly. Then we are looking at them from memory. Can we just look at this moment ahh… really anew. Maybe a hard feeling comes, next moment, “Oh! Still there!” Next moment “Oh, still there.” Or maybe next moment, “Ah, it’s not so bad anymore.” Really, moment to moment look, if we can, really look freshly. That is real magic.
