The magical approach to life: natural harmony, well-being and self-awareness
Embracing the magical approach to life is much more than recognizing a mystical element in our daily existence.
It’s about understanding the seamless and often unnoticed interaction between the natural order of the universe and our own human experience.
By accepting this concept, we can experience a deeper trust and faith in the natural progression of life.
This approach considers that one’s thoughts, emotions, and beliefs are not merely reactive responses but proactive elements in shaping reality.
Recognizing the profound connection between these internal processes and the external world can lead to a transformation in well-being, relationships, and personal growth.
According to Seth, natural magic could be defined as:
“Magic is nature unimpeded, or magic is life unimpeded.”
Key components to embracing the magical approach include:
- Self-awareness: Recognizing the impact of one’s thoughts and emotions on reality.
- Faith: Believing in an unseen harmony that aligns with personal beliefs and well-being.
- Connection: Developing an intuitive sense of cohesion with the universe’s natural rhythms.
By applying self-awareness to one’s daily actions, one can cultivate a path that aligns with one’s inner values and potential.
This alignment enables one to navigate through life’s challenges with greater resilience and understanding.
Furthermore, evidence suggests that certain types of physical activity, such as yoga or meditation, can enhance self-awareness and emotional control, further contributing to this harmonious way of living.
By remaining physically active, one can strengthen the body-mind connection, vital for realizing and nurturing one’s innate magical abilities.
By maintaining a magical perspective, one can:
- Enhance relationships through empathy and understanding.
- Propel personal growth by learning from experiences.
- Experience well-being as a reflection of inner harmony.
In sum, the magical approach is not a relinquished fantasy; instead, it is a practical methodology to explore life’s intrigues.
Embracing life’s magic does not necessitate the abandonment of logic or practicality, but rather invites a blend of instinct, intuition, and reasoned reflection, creating a rich, fulfilling experience of existence.
The magical approach to life: natural harmony, well-being and self-awareness, according to Seth’s teachings
In the exploration of life’s complexities, the Seth material presents a model where the natural world is not a mechanical system but an interplay of magic and order.
This perspective encourages individuals to find harmony within the self—as a child does instinctively—by recognizing the natural rhythm and balance of life.
Transformation through the magical approach is less about desire and more about aligning with the natural rightness of the universe.
The Seth material suggests that by adopting this viewpoint, it establishes a foundation of trust and faith that can expand one’s perception, allowing challenges to dissipate naturally.
The concepts presented in Seth’s dialogues encompass various aspects of life, with substantial focus on:
- Meditation and mindfulness as tools for attaining inner balance and recognizing the natural order.
- How trust is a fundamental quality of reasoning, signifying an individual’s comprehension of the universe’s support.
- The universe possessing a magical recognition of itself, with laws and orders that maintain the existence of all probabilities.
The following elements play crucial roles in the magical approach:
- Crystals, plants, and animals, symbolizing the coexistence and connection between all forms of life.
- Yoga, as a practice, embodies the alignment and adaptation necessary for living in tandem with the seasons and rhythms of nature.
- Ecosystems and habitats, where every entity is an integral part of the whole, similar to a cosmic tapestry.
Seth’s instruction implies that the essence of life flows through all elements, including the more subtle and unseen aspects like energy and intention:
| Magic in Life | Description |
|---|---|
| Nature Unimpeded | Seeing magic as life flowing freely without obstructions. |
| Life’s Construction | The spontaneous and ordered way in which our world and bodies come to be. |
| The Invisible Obvious | Magic is as common and transparent as the air we breathe, shaping our perceived reality. |
Moreover, Seth elucidates that the magical approach isn’t dependent on belief; it operates beyond belief, on the foundation that the universe comprehends itself.
It emphasizes how Framework 2—a realm implying greater intuitive understanding—opens once one adopts this way of life.
This approach to living promotes a symbiosis with the natural world, not merely as a philosophical view but as a lived experience, allowing for a harmonious coexistence with the universe and its endless seasons and cycles.
In sum, the next Seth sessions provide a lens through which reality can be seen not as a puzzle to be solved but as a natural order to be appreciated and respected, transforming our relations with the world and ourselves.

The Seth Sessions
“The magical approach puts you in harmony with your own individual knowledge of the universe. It puts you in touch with the magical feeling of yourself that you had as a child, and that is familiar to you at levels usually beyond your physical knowledge of yourself. It is better then, say, to use the approach because you recognize it for what it is, than to use it specifically in order to get something that you want, however beneficial.
There is no doubt at my level that use of the approach can clear up Ruburt’s difficulties naturally and easily. If it is used because you recognize its inherent rightness in yourself, its inherent “superior stance,” then it automatically puts you in a position of greater trust and faith. It opens your options, enlarges your vista of comprehension, so that the difficulties themselves are simply no longer as important—and vanish from your experience in, again, a more natural manner (all intently).
(Long pause at 9:37.) In a fashion, all of the material that I have given you in the annals of our relationship was meant to lead you in one way or another to a place where the true nature of reality could at least be glimpsed. You are at that point now. In a manner of speaking Ruburt’s physical condition represents the bruises, the wounds inflicted upon any individual in his or her long journey (long pause) toward a greater comprehension of life’s experience. In religious terms you begin to glimpse a promised land—a “land” of psyche and reality that represents unimpeded nature (again all intently).
…(9:55.) The universe is not dependent upon your belief in it in order that it can exist. It contains within itself its own comprehension of its own knowledge, its own magical recognition of itself, its own harmonious laws and orders, its own cabinetry. It possesses and holds intact even the smallest probability, so that no briefest possible life or creature or being is ever lost in the shuffle of a cosmic mechanics.
To even sense the existence of that kind of reality, however, you must already have “opened the doorway” to Framework 2, and begun to use the magical approach as your natural instinctive way of dealing with experience.”
TPS6 Deleted Session December 9, 1981
“You may not consider trust an attribute connected with reasoning, but it is indeed, for it represents the creature’s innate understanding of the support with which it has been gifted. The natural person still feels that trust. There are many books written about occult knowledge, or magical knowledge. Most of them are filled with distortions, but they are all efforts to uncover man’s natural magical reasoning.”
TMA Session Eight September 3, 1980
“Dictation. In any case, magic is everywhere in the operation of your body, and in the operation of the world.
My definition of magic is this: Magic is nature unimpeded, or magic is life unimpeded. It is true that your thoughts and emotions and beliefs form the reality that you experience — but it is also true that this creative construction is, in a manner of speaking, magically formed. That is, the construction of your body and the construction of a world (pause) are produced with the greatest combination of order and spontaneity — an order and spontaneity that seems hidden rather than apparent (all intently).”
WTH Part One: Chapter 2: March 10, 1984
“Magic is public
as the air,
so obvious
and clear that it appears
invisible.
And we look through it
at the world,
which rises up about us
everywhere.”
