What is your definition of "magical thinking"? I'm curious if it matches my wife's definition.
Belief in supernatural beings, extrasensory perception, miracles. Belief that prayer and meditation can achieve anything beyond good feelings. Magical thinking is believing in anything you could use to win the Randi prize.
Proud to be interested in such magical thinking, though I also like scientific verification of same. But as I reminded you, life cannot be anything but a miracle. Millennials need to re-learn this, but some of them are doing it.
1966 was a magic moment when people such as myself opened up to magical possibilities. So wonderful, the best year I ever experienced.
