Changing the Story: The Need for Magic

Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee

God is Alive, Magic is Afoot — Leonard Cohen

In order to free our world from its present nightmare of materialism and exploitation, we need a new story—a story of oneness and interdependence, of cooperation rather than competition. But to make this transition we need a power, the magic that belongs to life itself. How can we find this magic to give birth to a new story of oneness, of the earth as a living, self-sustaining whole, full of beauty and wonder?
