These are seven ways to bring magic into your world and examples of what I teach in the Outer Sanctum of The Adytum. The thing about magic is this. Once you know and master the secret, it stops being a secret. Then what happens is that you open the door to other secrets being revealed to you.

Hack #1: Manifesting Abundance

Money is a form of energy. You cannot see it from space, or even weigh it these days, as it mostly sits inside an invisible cloud of computers, represented and stored as a set of 1’s and 0’s.

From an alchemical perspective, generation of money itself is not the aim. It is merely a measure of how well our overall powers of manifestation are working and how abundant a life we are living.

For example, the successful alchemist might manifest an abundance of opportunity, an abundance of contacts or an abundance of writings or artistic output. In the process of amassing an abundance of seemingly not-tangible things, money may get involved along the way. So, if we need money to generate such assets, money may well come our way which can then be augmented further by exchanging and sharing what we create.

Keys to Unlocking Abundance

• The first key requires that we lose any guilt around money coming our way, or around any fear that we might lose it.
• The second key involves understanding that generation of abundance is an internal process that leads to external results.
• The third key is to augment what comes our way, to add value and that we should be working towards the higher good.

Hack #2: Creating More Time

One of the most pervasive illusions of what we call our reality is the forward arrow of time. We have compounded this illusion by introducing the linear ticking of the clock. With a little practice, the latter illusion can be removed entirely and we can stretch the dimension of time to get more done in less time. With a little more training, we can also learn how to manipulate both the future and perhaps, more bizarrely, the past.

As we created time so we could run our modern day society, we can also deconstruct it and bend, stretch and interact with it for our benefit and that of others.

For example, did you know that just by controlling the speed of your breath, you can stretch the passage of time in a room full of others?

Keys to Time Creation

• The first key is to be in and on time, to make and keep dates in our diary, and to respect the time of others.
• The second key involves getting in and staying in the zone, regular meditation being the tool of choice.
• The third key requires us to learn how to jump out of time, at will.

Hack #3: Finding Your Soul Mates

As we travel through life, it is natural that people come and go. Some of course go and come back again at poignant times, pointing us to alternate paths. Some become our friends, some business colleagues, teachers or students and some even our lovers. Any combination of roles of course possible.

While we think of a soul mate as being a partner, we can think of all those who cross and help us on our path as being part of our soul group.

Love is the most pervasive cosmic force and operates across all space and time, unrestricted by the speed of light.

Keys to Soul Mate Manifestation

• The first key to finding our perfect soul mates requires us to love ourselves first.
• The second key is to do what you love and just to be lovely.
• The third key lies in setting up the right conditions for our soul mates to find us and for us to be at the right place at the most perfect time.

Hack #4: Unlimited Creativity

The alchemical art of creating something from nothing, or not very much, requires us to become continually creative.

Fortunately, the cosmos that we are an integral part of shares this goal. After all, this is how we came to be.

When we realise that not all thoughts are necessarily our own we set up the perfect conditions for creativity to flow through us, as opposed to coming from us.

We also conjure up the perfect creations at the most optimum time.

Just imagine not only being able to tap into light bulb moments on demand but learning how to ensure the best ideas actually end up happening.

Keys to Unlocking Creativity

• The first key requires that we cultivate and maintain an open mind.
• The second key is to ensure the best ideas actually happen and lead us to creating a tangible outcome.
• The third key is to do something creative each and every day.

Hack #5: Being Lucky

Luck is as much a state of mind as it is a state of being.

The unlucky person might see adversity as confirmation that the world is out to get them. The lucky person only sees opportunity in adversity.

Sometimes this leads the opportunist to create a solution for others facing such adversity. Other times, setbacks are just nudges from the cosmos that there is another much smarter and elegant way to go about your days.

Sometimes, for example, the timing is not quite right and we ought to revisit an opening at another time. Sometimes we should just pass the opportunity on to somebody else.

Keys to Tuning into Luck

• The first key requires us to embrace adversity and to thank it for coming our way.
• The second key relies on observing repetitions and patterns.
• The third key requires us to tap into our creative juices so that a solution presents itself to us, at the most perfect time.

Hack #6: Knowing the Unknowable

We are all naturally claircognizant, clairvoyant, clairaudient and clairsentient. Many people simply don’t know or sense this.

With just a little practice of daily meditation, we can learn how to differentiate between our internal self-talk and other thought forms. You will discover that most thoughts are not what we think of as being our own.

We can also use our self-talk to initiate a conversation with the collective consciousness, wherein lies all knowledge, past, present and future. Just imagine knowing what you don’t know and becoming precognizant and prescient.

Keys to Unlimited Knowledge

• The first key requires us to acknowledge that there is infinitely more that we don’t know than we do know.
• The second key is to ask for answers to things we could do with knowing more about.
• The third key is to thank new knowledge for coming our way and then to do something with it.

Hack #7: Living Weller for Longer

One of the goals of alchemists of old was reputedly to discover the secrets to immortality.

A modern alchemist is content in the knowledge that the soul is an immortal essence but that the body is a temporary vehicle with which it uses to experience the density of our world.

So while our days may be numbered, and even forever outside our control, what we can influence is our daily wellbeing. This starts with control of our thought forms which then leads us to being able to create and manage a lifestyle that suits our goals for this incarnation.

Along the way, we embrace the realisation that we are embodied spirits on a path to experience and enjoy an incarnate existence.

Keys to Being Weller

• The first key requires us to audit and observe our lifestyle.
• The second key is to see any dis-ease as a sign that something may be out of kilter.
• The third key is to take ownership of our own spiritual, physical and mental wellbeing first and then to consult with a qualified medical professional second.
