3 Steps to Take to Become Powerful Enough to Create Magic

You’ve heard how people use only 10% of their brains?

1. Take a Deep Breath and Clear Your Mind

Sorcerers are born with the ability to use the entire power of their brains.

In the movie, the Sorcerer’s apprentice, Balthazar Blake (played by Nicolas Cage) was teaching his young apprentice Dave Stutler (played by Jay Baruchel) how to start a fire using magic.

They’d just retrieved Balthazar’s car, which he restored with a spell after it was impounded for 10 years while he was trapped in an urn.

In the car, Balthazar asked Dave to put on his sorcerer’s ring so he could teach him to start a fire.

“You’ve heard how people use only 10% of their brains? Sorcerers can manipulate matter because they’re born with the capability to use the entire power of their brains,” Balthazar asked and said.

Dave asks, “So wait, is sorcery science or magic?”

“Yes, and yes,” Balthazar answers, “For now all you need is a basic combat spell making fire.”

“What causes molecules to heat up?” Balthazar asks Dave.

“They vibrate,” Dave answers.

“Everything we see is in a constant state of vibration. That’s the illusion of solidity, but how do we take that which appears solid and have it burst into flames?” Balthazar asks and answers his own question, “We will the vibrations to go faster.”

“Step one,” Balthazar says and takes in the deepest breath, “Clear your mind.”

The first step in creating magic is taking in a deep breath and clearing the mind. We underestimate the effect of simply closing our eyes and taking a deep breath when we’re feeling frazzled and unfocused.

Breath is life. Literally. It’s what gave and continues to give us life. Without breath, we are dead and when we don’t take the time to take deep breaths during the day; we feel stressed and dead inside.

Clearing your mind can help you stop the pointless worrying and rumination so you can better focus on the task at hand. Clearing the mind before doing anything important, like creating magic, whatever form it may take, can help you concentrate on what you’re trying to achieve.

But the point of this step isn’t about sitting in a car and trying to start a fire or something crazy because you’re probably not a sorcerer or magician. You’ll drive yourself frustrated trying to do only what a sorcerer can do.

This is about mastering your mind and learning how to use more of your brain power. That’s something you have the power to do. Master your mind and you master your life and it all begins with your breath.

“Sorcerers can manipulate matter because they’re born with the capability to use the entire power of their brains.”

2. Visualize the Molecules and Make Them Vibrate Faster

Everything in the universe is made up of energy, vibrating at a certain frequency. Every thought, everybody, every matter, every belief, and every emotion is a form of energy vibrating at a certain frequency, even objects that appear to be solid.

Everything is in a constant state of vibration and that’s the illusion of solidity.

If you breathe, clear your mind, engage 100% of your brain and focus intently on something; if you can focus enough to visualize those molecules move, you can create magic.

But that’s totally impossible, right? This is a movie, after all. We aren’t sorcerers or magicians. Our vibration isn’t always that high to pull off such a feat.

You see, sorcerers and magicians are some of the high vibrational people you'll meet and that's why they can do what they can do.

Your own vibration must be high enough to cause molecules to vibrate faster and that's why it's impossible for most of us to do magic but if we could work on ourselves to raise our vibration, we could really do anything we put 100% of our attention and brains on.

But back to the movie.

Step one says to take in a deep breath and clear your mind. Step two, Balthazar says, “See the molecules and make them shake (moving his hands and setting fire to a parking ticket that a cop was putting on the windshield of a car).” The cop was shaken!

He asked Dave, “Got it?’’

“I definitely don’t got it,” Dave replied.

“Trust the ring, Dave,” Balthazar says.

Sorcerers and magicians are some of the high vibrational people you’ll meet and that’s why they can do what they can do.

3. Trust That You Can Actually Do it

Most of us will be like Dave. At the first, second, and maybe hundredth attempt, we just won’t get it because we don’t even trust that we can do magic. We’ll throw our hands in the air and say fuck it.

If you can’t believe, it’s impossible to do anything.

Before you achieve, you must believe.

The previous step wasn’t about having the power to set things on fire. It isn’t about actually trying to see molecules and causing them to move faster. Again, we aren’t sorcerers. Unless you are, then please do your thing.

It’s about the things you can do when you’re in such a high vibration that you trust that you can do anything!

So back to the movie.

In a different scene when Dave and Balthazar were trying to escape from a bad guy and a huge dragon breathing fire, it was up to Dave to start a fire to save the day. He attempted to fire at the bad guy’s armor with his ring, but again he couldn’t clear his mind. His mind was all over the place and his breathing was shallow. He was panting trying to escape death.

Balthazar appeared and told Dave, “You skipped the first step! Clear your mind!”

“Clear my mind? Are you insane?” Dave replied.

All Dave could focus on was the danger, but he needed to focus on the power that lied deep within him that would save him. After several failed attempts at starting a fire, Dave was able to pause, take a deep breath, clear his mind, and fire at the dragon on the bad guy’s armor to stop the real-life dragon that was trying to kill them.

All he had to do was pause amidst the chaos and breathe.

It’s about the things you can do when you’re in such a high vibration that you trust that you can do anything!

But danger is danger. Not everybody can pretend they’re not being chased by death when they are. We are humans, not in some movie. But sometimes, just pausing will save the day.

It gets the mind in order.

When we are faced with stress and dragons, our brains not only think of the problem in front of us but also about events that occurred in the past or even events that haven’t happened and will probably never happen.

We worry because we don’t trust. We don’t trust because we don’t believe we can do something about the situation. We can’t believe because we fear we will fail. We fear we will fail because we don’t know the power that lies within.

Worry and fear does nothing to help. It only lowers your vibration, which interferes with us doing what we need to do and, in Dave’s case, clearing his mind so he could save the day!

Key Takeaways

You can’t create magic when your mind is filled with clutter. You’ve gotta breathe and clear it first.

Then make sure you’re in the right frequency. You can’t create magic when you’re in fear. It’ll never happen. When Balthazar appeared when Dave was panicking, he was cool, calm and collected as if death wasn’t chasing after him as well. He was in the right frequency.

Next, you must believe you can actually start the fire or you’re like a wave being tossed around by the wind. You’re too unstable to create anything.

Until you learn to do these three things, the magic that lies within you will feel out of reach.
