No, not really. You haven't actually told me anything more about what "magic" means to you. From my perspective I'm addressing the crux of your point, because if what I suspect is going on is true, you don't actually have one. Regardless, I'm not diverting from your point if you ignore me, which you're perfectly free to do.
Well that's where actual experience comes in. With the psychedelics, the meditation and noticing the thing. And if you haven't delved there and noticed the thing, then you haven't. End of that conversation.
So how about the point in my OP? You got anything to day about that?
In our experience we've noticed a thing too. We've noticed certain "triggering" phrases never result in a productive conversation, and so we hardly bother with them. Case in point.
Oh touche. You are so defensive it's a wonder you can draw a breath.
I answered your question. I could likewise frame your unwillingness to elaborate to anyone's satisfaction what you mean as defensiveness too.
