Wake Up ☼
I’m watching the Wake-Up documentary right now. It’s about the daily life and battle of a medium dealing with their newfound
gifts. I feel like I’m watching a video of everything I’ve gone through in
dealing with this. I Instagram messaged Jonas, the medium, to tell him how much
I appreciated the documentary and how it made me feel a lot less alone. He
already replied and told me he’s thankful I reached out to him. :’-)
One thing I find so intriguing is how they mention Santa
Claus and how it shapes our perception of “magic” as children. Jonas’s
girlfriend says that she was devastated when she found out as a child that
Santa Claus isn’t real and that’s when she learned that magic isn’t real.
Because of this, she has a hard time accepting this new, magical world that
Jonas is introducing to her.
I find this
interesting because as a child I loved the idea of Santa Claus, the reindeers
and all that. It wasn’t even the holiday of Christmas or the presents that was
fascinating to me, but it was the magic behind it. I remember being a little
girl and staring up at the sky for hours trying to find him (aw). I was really
sad when I found out he wasn’t real. And I understood that this was the truth
and I accepted it but I would still get really defensive about this subject
(lol). Whenever someone made a joke or any sly comment about his non-existence
I would argue back by saying “HE’S AS REAL
AS YOU WANT HIM TO BE!!!” That’s a line I said a lot as a child. I didn’t
even really know what I meant exactly but I stood by it.
Another
thing that has finally come full circle for me; I remember sitting on my
bedroom floor for hours on end with a magic eight ball, asking it questions,
over and over again.
I
understand now. I’m a creative motherfucker. My imagination is wild.
Don’t get me wrong, the things I hear, see, and feel are not imaginary. But it’s
this creativity that allows me to have the gift. I am able to sense things that
normal people wouldn’t necessarily be able to because I allow my brain to open
up to the unknown. This is a subconscious element of your character. Do not
think that just by saying “okay, I believe in sprits” will allow you to see the
spiritual aspects of the universe. Everyone is different, and everyone has
different strengths and weaknesses, this just happens to be mine.
Needless to say, it’s something
that can be developed with practice, patience, and most importantly faith. What
is important is to recognize the
beautiful things in life. When you see a rainbow, stop and look at it. When
the moon looks cool at night, take a moment to appreciate it. Just believe in
the magic and beauty in the universe, because it is real. As we grow, our souls become “harder” in a sense; we lose
sight of the inner-child we once had. We’re taught that magic isn’t real and we
live in a universe ruled by science. This is what I believed at this time,
last year. I was forced into this world of magic and spirit without
an option, but I’m so grateful. It’s a blessing just as much as it’s a curse.
There’s terrible things I experience in addition to the positive. But the one
thing I really needed from this gift most of all was I needed to win back my
appreciation for the world.
I was going through a hard time
before this all happened. I was struggling to see the beauty in the world. I
saw life as mundane and pointless. I know that’s extremely depressing and
terrible to say, but I’m just trying to be as honest as possible. WAKE UP! There is so much more to this universe than
what you can see with your eyes. I don’t even see it all. But that’s why I
work to strengthen my abilities and open my eyes more, you should too. It makes
life more beautiful. J
