Make the Magic
Thousands of men have tried in the past to make a notable impression on a woman by reading techniques or even scripts from the Internet, memorizing them and reciting them in the plaza or nightclub. They’re under the impression that the words are what’s important, but that is only ever the surface level of what is happening in an interaction.
The words might be great, but if the suitor doesn’t make them his own, doesn’t add some spontaneity or personality, they will always fall flat.
Likewise, we might find a very powerful technique for meditation or healing, such as metta, or Ho’oponopono. We might think, “Hm… I have heard of this before; I know what this is; it’s nothing new.” With that attitude, we will bring nothing new, and the technique again will fail.
However, if we enter with the attitude of: “I am putting my heart into this; I am seeing how deep this can go,” naturally we have a profound emotional experience, and we may even find ourselves transformed.
Make the magic.

Lets talk about how you are the magic.
I was thinking about this, there was a thing we used to talk about. There was a fellow a coach who used to work for RSD and his name is Natural Tim from Australia.
He would tell a story about going out to meet women in night clubs and stuff. At the time when he started to do this stuff a lot of guys would do this weird thing where they memorize a story or have some technique and go out and practice it trying to use the story to pick up women.
It might even be someone else’s story. Its kind of a weird thing to do looking back on it now but at the time so many of these guys were so nerdy and had no idea how to talk to women so that’s what they would do to try to have something to talk about.
Of course that has many problems.
Well what a lot of guys do when they first learn about this stuff if they don’t have a lot of social skills and they think “the technique is gonna help me get a girlfriend” and of course that’s not what happens so if a guy goes out and tries a technique like this one where you ask a woman “of all the guys in this club which one would you like to have sex with? Which would you like to marry and which would you like to kill?” Then you sort of point out a few guys.
This can be a fun game but of course what happens if a guy comes up and doesn’t have a lot of social skills, charisma or his tonality is flat and he doesn’t have a lot of emotion and is just going in like a nerd who has read something off the internet….what happens?
It falls flat, it’s always gonna fall flat. The technique is just a launchpad, just an idea, just a touch of inspiration. What really needs to happen if this woman will be interested in you is you need to make the magic, bring something of yourself that doesn’t come from somewhere else.
Doesn’t come from the technique, television or something you heard and repeated. It comes from the moment, some improvisation, from the magic. The moment.
Likewise when we look at a technique. I can teach someone a meditation technique like ho’oponopono if you are not familiar comes from a Hawaiian tradition like a shamanic tradition. Not sure where it originates or what aspect of the culture it originates from.
But it goes like this the formula is:
Im sorry, please forgive me.
Thank you, I love you or I appreciate you and you go through each of these steps and through this process you can begin to heal yourself or forgive yourself for things you might have done wrong.
And according to the more interesting version of the story this has the power to heal the universe. So when something tragic happens like a hurricane with a lot of people loosing their lives or homes we can use this to heal the harms caused by that.
Not sure about that but in terms of healing your own life this is a very powerful technique. If I show this to someone and they say “I’ve heard that before, its kind of like a gratitude mediation. I’ve practiced this before, it’s nothing new.”
There’s nothing new under the sun, nothing is ever really new.
The technique isn’t new but if you want it to work, if you want something to happen, if you want there to be magic the magic comes from you in the moment.
In that sense when you are in that moment improvising and exploring, bringing yourself. Really showing up to the game.
Oh yes there will be something new under the sun because you make magic.
