And Seven cried, “I’ll never get to Oversoul Eight stage if I have to understand all that first.”

Oversoul Seven’s
Little Book

An Appendix

And Oversoul Seven sat by Tweety’s bedside each night, reading from the special book he’d written just for her. But he also knew that it was written for all children, those young in years, and those hidden within adults. He also knew that the book would automatically rearouse the children within the adults so that they could be comforted in the present for the misunderstandings of the past.

He said to Cyprus, “And my little book is magical. That’s the beauty of it! Who ever really understands what I’m saying will have a charmed life. In fact, I have a whole chapter on that alone …”

So Seven read to Tweety, a bit at a time …

The Charmed Life

Each life is charmed (Seven said), yours, and everyone else’s, and you must never forget it. The instant you’re born, you’re charmed, because life itself is a charm. Each being is charmed into existence in whatever reality it finds itself, and given everything it needs to operate in the environment. Your body is charmed, too: It’s a magic part of everything else; springing up from all the things you see about you. Atoms and molecules go singing through the miraculous air, forming themselves into rocks and trees and dogs and cats and people, too. You are magic. You charm the air so that it thickens into your body wherever you are.

When you want to move, you think the air ahead of you into becoming your body, and the air behind you then stops being your body … all very magical indeed. You move your arm just one inch to the right, and the air to the left one inch stops being part of your arm. But it all happens so quickly, your snatching of the air and making it turn into your body, that you never notice it at all, and take it quite for granted. Which is why it works so well, you see.

But your life is charmed. And there is a secret, a very simple one. Really, it’s not a secret. But you have to remember that your life is charmed. People who forget can’t use their magic nearly as well as they did before, and they have a tendency to get angry at those who can. So, often, they pretend that no magic exists at all. Then they evolve great philosophies to prove it, which is itself magical, of course. But they can’t see that, because they’re so convinced that magic doesn’t exist.

And many people forget how simple and natural magic is, so they evolve long theories, and methods that are supposed to make it work, when you and I know, and everyone else really knows, that magic happens by itself, because that’s what magic is.
