    We don't see reality, but that can be a good thing, because to succeed in any field, we must envision something that doesn't exist yet and have faith that it is real.

    The Magical Writing Podcast unpacks the Monkey Business Illusion and discusses how it relates to the hermetic principle of mentalism. Circling back to affirmations and mental visualization we explain the magick/science behind hope and faith.

    Once we change ourselves, we can see the reality that is always there.

  • It's Not a Lie If You Believe It
    Feb 28 2022

    The Magical Writing podcast continues the discussion of mentalism by showing you how to brainwash yourself for success!

    There's a reason why faking it until you make it works. But it takes repeated affirmations, mental visualization, and the key ingredient of emotions. The emotions get the dopamine flowing.

    This episode also includes S.C. Mendes' tips for overcoming PTSD. Trigger Warning; he’ll be sharing a traumatic experience when he was abducted. Once we recognize our traumas and paradigms, we can rewrite them.
