Well we believe you all have a great Monday. Actually, ours are awesome always. We don’t turn our back on Mondays. Help us understand the reason behind being dejected on Mondays. Is it just because your pleasing weekend comes to a halt? Well, in our opinion, we think that there should be a feeling of being given a chance to start all over again irrespective of the fact whichever day it might be!
Each and every day we live is a big blessing and we should cherish them all.
Rhonda Byrne is an Australian writer best known for the book ‘The Secret’. “The Magic” is another one of her works. The author was skeptical about writing this book and how people will perceive it. The very first learning of the book is to keep a track of all the blessings you have received. Make sure that you create a list of ten blessings quotidian. Either you speak all of them loud or read it silently; post reading each blessings, speak “thank you” three times believing that you have already achieved the desired outcome.

This is tremendous and made me aware about third world coun¬tries which do not even possess a confectionery store. The people there have to depend on the hunting and impure water in the surroundings, so the thought that we are blessed with different stores from we can purchase the goods and consume makes me grateful. This led us to pay gratitude whenever we are in a confectionery shop and moving across the aisles. Why so? Because we are fortunate enough that we receive ready to eat

    One example of magic in modern culture is the idea that a groom should not see the bride in her dress before the wedding or it brings bad luck. The habit of saying “bless you” after someone sneezes was a magical practice meant to protect the sneezer from evil spirits or bad luck, but in recent time the magical meaning of the action has faded away and the practice is just habit. When dealing with machines and computers people sometimes try to solve the problem by kicking or hitting the problematic machine, although many times this does nothing to solve the problem. People also have developed the tendency to yell at and threaten their devices, although such devices are unable to understand or react to a person’s words (unless they have some voice command functionality enabled), in the hopes that the device will start…

    Often, people live in uncertainty, keeping themselves from discovering outside-the-box ideas and never straying from the well-exercised path. Perhaps they make decisions based upon a direct idea of fate they may feel forced to follow or they simply fear the consequences, crippling any deep success in personal enlightenment. To be able to act free mindedly without confining to one specific outcome allows an expansion of opportunity and adventure to arise. The literary genre, magical realism, focuses on ideas such as these, to lay down harsh realities within humanity in an artistic way. Magical realism authors may approach their work in similar methods using a few common elements found in most pieces of this genre to highlight specific thought-provoking concepts they want the reader to take away.…

    But is there really magic? No. Magicians trick the brain and the eyes into thinking that something “magical” is happening. According to “Magic and the Brain” by Susana Martinez-Conde and Stephen L. Macknik, cognitive and visual illusions were used by magicians to fool the audience. Using misdirection to fool the human brain, magicians draw the audience’s attention away from the secret of the magic and to the outcome (Martinez-Conde and Macknik 82).…

    Chapter Six, "Combining Words and Deeds Angelic Imprecations in the Book of Secrets," continues on with Jewish mystical tradition; only this time, the focus is placed on a Jewish magical witchcraft text the Book of Secrets or the Book of Raziel. Janowitz rightfully compares it with the Greek Magical Papyri (PGM), as it has many practical spells--ranging everything from healing the sick, divining the future, influencing kings in your favor, binding yourself to a "great woman", and speaking with the spirits, planets and stars. She has a very helpful table that lists all the spells in the book, too. Very nice. Instead of relying on demons or familiar spirits, the magician instead relies on angelic powers in legal oaths and pacts so that they may carry our your wishes and goals, which are often fueled by a personal and financial drive for success.…

    It is often said that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Even as this holds true throughout history, power and more specifically, exerting power over others is necessary for any society to exist. Exerting dominance, leadership and power are animalistic instincts that are necessary to maintain the order of organisms co-existing. Humans, as advanced organisms, face the unique challenge of morality and maintaining justice within societies that have had a history of being unjust because they are undeniably and unchangeably power based. This power imbalance leads directly to inequality and systemic oppression such as racism and sexism.…
