What is Power? Power is Majik! Majik is the unseen force manipulated by those who can calibrate with it. It is not a doing, but a state of being. Majik is accessed through surrendering to your higher vibrational consciousness by getting your lower self-consciousness out of the way.


Two hikers on rocky terrain, one helping the other up. Clear blue sky at sunrise with distant mountains. Teamwork and adventure theme.

Yes, there are tools and techniques to help, such as incantations, crystals, feathers, incense, clearing medicines, sound healing instruments, intentions, herbs and foods, potions, sacred medicines, electronic devices, etc. However, these do not have any power without you!


You are the power, my friends. It is you who comes into harmonic coherence with the tool, which activates its power, not the other way around.


An unactivated crystal, for instance, is simply a rock. Once activated with energy that is in harmonic coherence, it can magnify or morph that energy into something different or more powerful.


What happens when you put an electrical charge through a crystal? You get a laser, that’s what. So the first step in accessing majik, in accessing your power, is to not only know and accept that you are the power that creates but to believe it!


What is the difference between knowing and believing, you ask? Knowing is the intellectual process of understanding. However, it is not until this knowing penetrates your body, your cells, that it becomes belief.


In other words, you must believe with your very core, your every cell, and that only comes from the combination of not only knowledge but experience as well. This is the very reason we signed up to come to Earth, to Mother, in the first place.


Power is a state, not a doing. Therefore, it must be invited into oneself, not concocted through the words and random hand movements of another. A certificate does not give you power, and no one can tell you that you have it. You have either achieved this state, or you have not.


Don’t get me wrong, I’m not telling you to avoid the courses and teachings. On the contrary, I’m telling you not to drink the Kool-Aid, to keep the car windows rolled down to allow other perspectives in, for there is no singular truth, and yet, there is only One Dharma.


Use these teachings as the foundation for your higher consciousness to build upon, for this is your true teacher. It is you of the future, in all your illustrious glory, and knows everything you will become, for it already is.


There is lower majik and higher majik, white majik and black majik, real majik and pretend majik.


Lower majik is performed through the lower-density elements of earth and water. Elements of higher majik are often brought in as well, with fire and/or air in their preparation.


Lower majik is based primarily on the body/brain, whereas higher majik is focused on the mind/spirit/soul and the elements of air and aether. Both are needed in the world and work together. It’s not a competition!


White majik is based on the greatest good for all, whereas black majik is focused on the greatest good for self and is therefore limited in its use of higher majik, as the mid and higher third eye chakra, as well as the crown, are not available for it.


Real majik is accessed by those who can channel, which means they have access to the upper heart chakra and above.


Pretend majik is what is done by those who have taken courses, training, etc., so they have some knowledge but have not yet accessed the upper chakras, as power cannot be accessed while in the lower chakras.


Can pretend Majik heal?


Yes! Although the healing is more based on the placebo effect of the patient than the activities of the practitioner. In other words, Majik is not something you do but something you become.


Majik is a state of being, not a doing. You cannot force this state! It is something you invite into you, like love, happiness, or meditation.


Majik is not performed within the Beta State, which is the state most people live their waking lives in. You must access the Alpha, Theta, or Gamma states to channel this energy, with each of these states giving greater access to the light. Of course, the higher the energy state accessed, the more “out of body” you will feel.


Power vs. force, what is the difference?


Force is based upon fear and control. Since those who practice the use of force to bring forth the reality they wish must rely on the unconscious, as the conscious cannot be controlled by fear, they need the majority of the populace, as the force they can wield is limited by the lower chakras they embody (Root = 1, Sacral = 2, Solar Plexus = 6). Force is accumulated sequentially. For example, 2 + 6 + 1 + 6 + 1 = 16, meaning the total accumulated energy they have to affect the field from these five example individuals is 16.


Power, on the other hand, is exponential, meaning the power of each individual is multiplied, not added. In addition, the power generated by each individual is substantially higher than those embodying the lower chakras, with the Heart Chakra at 24, the Throat at 120, the Third Eye at 720, and the Crown Chakra at 5000+.


Using the same example as above, the power accumulated by just five individuals in the Heart Chakra would be, 24 x 24 x 24 x 24 x 24 = 7,962,624. This power is based upon love and freedom, not fear and control. And love, which is acceptance without judgment, will always triumph over fear. Love is truth, and fear is illusion.


And this is how Gandhi took down the English Empire, how we’re still speaking about Jesus, Buddha, or Martin Luther King Jr. all these years later. Just two souls who have activated their Crown Chakras produce a power in the field of 25 million or more. And this is why humanity has been kept sleeping through fear and control, why the secrets of illumination, of enlightenment, have been kept hidden by secret societies for generations beyond count.


Which is why learning to control your energy, not giving your power away, is so important. For this is The Shift, humanity's embodiment of higher consciousness which every ascended master has told us about.


It is time to awaken to your truth, accept how magnificent and powerful you truly are. It is time to take back your power and walk the path you came to walk, shine the light you came to shine upon the world.


It is time to awaken. To spread your power, your light, your love throughout the world. Are you ready?
