Understanding Magical Thinking and Re-Enchanting The World [Repost] (#89)

Let's learn about magical thinking, carefully tease it apart from deep psychological insight, and discuss how to healthily integrate it.

Know that we all pass through a Magical period in our early childhood, the Magic stage of development, and come out the other end at age 4 or 5.

From then, all the way through adult life, our relationship to magical thinking can go one of two ways: we become completely allergic to it and be unable to consciously integrate any of it, or we remain addicted to it.

In spiritual communities and personal-development circles, I often see an addiction to magic and a basic inability to really understand what magical thinking is and why it's fundamentally flawed in very mundane ways.

Our goal as growing people is to skillfully integrate magical thinking into our psyche, and that's our goal in this episode.

The result? Re-enchantment of our world, a connection to mystery and wonder, and a new psychological empowerment. Enjoy.
