Life is a Magic Trick

Imagine life is like a magic trick, spirituality is the magician and happiness is the real sense of magic. When you are a child, you see the magic trick and accept it as magic and view it with wonder. When you’re an adult you recognize the magic trick as an illusion, it starts to lose it’s magic as you try to search out it’s secrets. Once you start to focus on the magician and learn the secrets the real sense of magic is lost.

When you are a child, you see life, accept it for what it is and view it with wonder. When you’re an adult you try to search out the secrets of life instead. Once you start to seek spirituality and try to learn the secrets your real happiness is lost.

Just like with the child in the first example who is the happiest when he is oblivious to the magician and just sees the magic trick a views it with the wonder of a child. We are happiest when we are oblivious to spirituality and just see life and view it with the wonder of a child.

If I could see the world
Thru the eyes of a child
What a wonderful world this would be
There’d be no trouble and no strife
Just a big happy life
With a bluebird in every tree

I could see right, no wrong
I could see good, no bad
I could see all the good things
In life I’ve never had
If I could see the world
Thru the eyes of a child
What a wonderful world this would be

If I could see the world
Thru the eyes of a child
Smiling faces would greet me all the while
Like a lovely work of art
It would warm my weary heart
Just to see thru the eyes of a child.
