Try finding the magick in not-magick.
Khan Black will help with that.
See, you’re already in the magic right now.
It never goes away.
This is not a metaphor. Or a catchy Disney tune.
It’s the truth.
You literally cannot lose it.
The technical term in esoteric circles for what you’re going through right now is: a Mood.
And that’s okay. In fact, it’s better than okay. It’s actually great.
Here’s the secret:
And so,
And guess what you–the being having that non-magick experience–are:
A magickal being.
It’s sort of like how all oil paintings are made of oil paint. There’s sort of no escape from it.
Even a painting that is specifically and intentionally of a non-oil painting is still made of:
paint.
Recognizing the truth of the above points can help you to relax about the whole thing.
Also, every time you saw the term ‘magick’ up above, you could replace it with the word Consciousness.
Anyway, so it’s a mood.

Story
There’s a beautiful landscape outside of your home. And just remembering that it’s there inspires you with gratitude and a love of life. As a result, you tend to look at that landscape through your window many times a day. That reminds you that it’s there, and again: gratitude and love of life.
But…
Sometimes your windows get dusty or fogged up, and until they’re wiped off, you temporarily can’t see the landscape. Bummer. That’s the mood we’re talking about.
At first, you are pretty urgent about wiping down those windows. You even consider cleaning them to be a ‘spiritual practice’.
As the famous monk Shenxiu said:
身是菩提樹 心如明鏡台 時時勤拂拭 無事惹塵埃
Translation: be a good monk and wipe off those windows!!!
But then time goes on, and it hits you:
even when the windows seem dusty or foggy, the landscape is still there.
Then you start to take those moments of dustiness or fogginess as incredible opportunities. You start to realize that you can connect with the landscape using your mind and heart, not just your eyes.
You leave them foggy for a while, try to connect in your heart, and then you wipe them off and check to see how well you did.
Now, you begin to look forward to the dusty and foggy times. And you find that through all of this your connection to the landscape is getting stronger and stronger through all conditions.
You appreciate the clear days when you can see with your eyes. And you now also appreciate the dusty, foggy days when you can see with your heart mind.
Because as the great Hui Neng replied:
菩提本無樹 明鏡亦非台 本來無一物 何處惹塵埃
Translation: It’s all good! Chill!
Anyway, short version: Khan Black’d be good.
