Is the path we are walking on is as stable as it seems!
Curiosity and skepticism are two vital characteristics of a human being, which has grown roots of pure belief deep-down into the fertile human skins. It is very hard to even comprehend the nature of a higher force governing what should be seem real or fake. Without the influence of a governing force such as God, the world might seem as random at the same time, as predictable. That's contradictory, right! But, seems true.
Having fear of a power higher above, confine one off doing whatever they desire of doing that is against the laws of nature. But, have you ever thought of doing something exactly out of comic books, just like Dr. Strange. Well! I am not going to discuss about whole comic book heroes/villains in here, but if anyone of you have ever read comic book story of Dr. Strange that he is able to detach himself from the universe itself such that he feels like he is the universe.
Moreover, this is not just the case of a comic-book story. This is possible in the "real" world. Aleister Crowley was man known as founder of a religion named Thelema as well as for his interests in ceremonial magic. Though, people called him an occultist due to his thoughts for Paganism. He was influenced by variety of religious as well as scientific ideas of Hindu Yoga, Buddhism, Ontological Naturalism, Western Esotericism and of-course ceremonial magic.
Crowley believed in the objective existence of the "magick". He provide various different definitions for the word. In one of his many books with the Title "Magick in Theory", he defined magick as
"The science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with Will".
He also told his disciple that
"Magick is getting into communication with individuals who exist at plane higher than ours. Mysticism is the raising of oneself to their level."
According to Crowley, there are several ways to view what Magick is, at its most broad it can be viewed as any willed action leading to intended change. At the practical level, magick most often takes several practices such as banishing, purification, consecration, Invocation, Evocation, and Eucharist. In Crowley's context these practices have different meanings.

Getting an enlightenment that you can change the nature itself according to you will, really gives hope that there is yet more to know and comprehend to, including the notion of God. And you should not rule out the possibility that if God has made us in his own image, then we can do what he can do and comprehend what he can.
