DAY ONE: MORNING (II) – Marianne
Marianne: Magnes – it’s Marianne. [MAGNES JACK: Pleased to meet you.] Magnes, I know it’s only the first morning but I am truly puzzled by what I am seeing so far.
MAGNES JACK: Oh, good.
Marianne: Well, actually, it’s not very good for me. [Laughing] Because I really want to understand what is going on here.
Already I have seen people presenting you with a variety of issues, which are potentially very tricky issues. And in minutes, there are smiling and seem to have set themselves on a new path. And yet, I have listened intently to what you have been saying, but I can’t find the magic word. [Laughing]
Can you help me out here?
MAGNES JACK: Probably not. Because there is no magic word. It may seem like a cliché, but the magic, the real magic lies inside each and every one of us, and all we are doing, in a nutshell, is:
1. Highlighting the ways in which we stop ourselves.
2. Encouragement to have some fun and find out.
Now I know that is simple, perhaps too simple for some, but it is a truism that the most powerful things tend to be those that are over-looked.
You see, we look for love in all the wrong places, and we do the same with magic. We look out there and we look for complexity, but in our VR Bubble, we have been told many times, that complex things are what clever people come up with and clever people must have it right.
If that were the case, the suicide rate and level of alcoholism amongst doctors wouldn’t be what it is.
So, Marianne, what I am presenting is not rocket science, for sure, but at the same time, one ounce can power a lot of rockets. You get me?
Marianne: Yes and no. I still have an Emperor’s New Clothes feeling.
MAGNES JACK: Oh, you think I’m a fraud?
Marianne: Well, not as such.
MAGNES JACK: But you decided to pay to find out?
Marianne: I just wanted to learn some new tricks I guess, and the thing is, I can’t decide whether your clothes are fine, or not even there.
MAGNES JACK: Marianne, well let me help you. They are both.
If you had been listening along, you would have heard about the VR Bubble. Yes? And that bubble means that you don’t see me, but a version of me; actually the version of me that most fits with your expectations.
So everything you see is true for you and that is fine and dandy.
I also cannot claim to be any other than I am, and only hope to be judged by the effects on those who I work with, but remember also, that this has very little to do with me. At best, I am a Sat Nav of the Soul. I can point out to people their beauty, and encourage them to have some fun finding out more. I cannot and will not force them to do anything they don’t wish to do.
And so, all I can say to you really, is to apply what you hear to yourself first, and see if it works. Though be very careful now, because it is already set up, or framed, such that if it works well, then I am ok and you maybe wrong, and vice versa.
Be assured Marianne that I only want you, and everyone else here, to be more of who they truly are, and to find ways to express that, which are fun and joyful.
Marianne: Ok. Thank you.
MAGNES JACK: And if you do hear the Magic Word, be sure to tell me afterwards! For I would love to know what it is! [Laughing].
