Mystics say that when the sandal wood tree is at its most fragrant, then all the trees nearby also have this powerful fragrance.

Fragrance is transmitted, mood is transmitted. Magic is a mood. It is a mood redolent with possibilities that we may align with.

We have will. We can develop deeper focus and attention. With attention the whole world changes.

Cultivate openness and expansion and those that embody it.

Sit with an experienced person and you imbibe what they know.

We in the West learn as we were taught in school and in the home. We attempt to apply this way to greater knowledge.

Though logical and scholastic learning have their place, they tend towards identification and habit and are not appropriate for the mystics path. - Carlos Castaneda.
