The Creator’s First Love
Last weekend we shared some powerful new information about water, communicated by a few of the individuals from The Telepathy Tapes podcast, those born mystics who have incredible access to the realms of higher consciousness, and perhaps the Divine Source itself.
They made comments such as, “Water is the expression of the Creator's first love. It is a being that Creator never wants to separate from. Therefore it's in everything. It's love.”1
They helped us understand water as the substance through which the Creator works through. The way the Creator expresses love in our material world. Water is the element that infuses all sentient life. Water is life. It is love.
For when water is removed, everything returns to dust.

The Ultimate Magic
And yet we can easily take water for granted.
I don’t mean solely from a physical perspective, but in spiritual matters too.
This week I’m going to share some ancient ways water has been used in spiritual practices that are both simple and powerful.
I’ll be sharing instruction from some old mystical guidebooks I’ve collected that contain all sorts of ancient spiritual teachings, including practices of how to use the four elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water in combination to perform what we might call miracles.
Some of these practices include the development of abilities such as clairvoyance, clairaudience, or clairsentience. Others include astral travel and even telepathy.
Of course some mystics have been able to do all of the above without guidance or instruction, and there seems to be a long continuum of natural powers available to certain individuals at earlier ages. But my understanding of these areas indicates all of these abilities are a combination of mystical power married with technique; faith and works.
I liken many of these spiritual things to physical training. Some people naturally put on muscle quicker in the gym, no question. But match that genetic advantage with great training technique and something amazing happens.
And when we talk about these things please don’t get caught up on the words, whether we say powers or abilities or miracles. Use any words you like: magic, wonders, supernatural events, or Divine interventions.
Although one note is important: when I use the word magic I’m not referring to just manipulating reality for personal benefit.
That practice certainly exists but I have no interest or desire in participating. The practice I’m referring to involves tapping into the Divine field to spread more love into the world. I’m speaking of the literal transmission of love and higher consciousness into humanity.
Some people can change you just by their presence.
That’s the magic we’re interested in cultivating.
Seeing with Fresh Eyes
I shared some of the depth of technique taught in these guidebooks with you above to then help lend credibility to the practices I’m about to discuss in the paragraphs that follow, which in comparison may seem quite simple or even silly at first glance.
But any dismissal on our part is only because of our deep conditioning within our modern, empirical world. I’m now aware of people who can perform miracles on a regular basis and I’m here to tell you it’s real.
And miracles, as best as I can tell, are made manifest through the mixing of powerful imagination, deep belief, and intent—fused with a specific element or combination of the four elements (earth, air, fire, and/or water.)
I recently read an old Sufi story where a master2 healed a student by simply blowing on him. What I believe was actually happening is the master infused his deep faith and intent with the air element and passed it along to the student, who was healed.
Maybe that’s just an old obscure story from a tradition we’re not that familiar with, but what if we started to see this type of work present in the stories we already know.
I’ve come to believe these techniques were originally found throughout the gospels before being stripped out centuries after Christ, but if we look closely we can still find the evidence.
A story remains in the Gospel of John3 where Jesus heals a blind man as follows:
…he spit in the dirt, made some mud with the spit, and put it on the man’s eyes.
The man was then instructed to wash his eyes and his sight became available.
A simple verse within a story you’ve heard or read maybe a thousand times without giving it much thought; never realizing what you were actually witnessing.
Jesus, a powerful Divine figure well-versed in the mystical healing arts, using the elements of earth (dirt) and water (saliva) along with the sunlight and the air to achieve the proper texture (mud), infused with his deep belief/certainty and the intent to heal.
And the idea of Jesus using tools or techniques to heal shouldn’t be seen as something that in anyway reduces or disrespects Jesus’s Divine authority and power. It was Jesus after all who said to his followers, “you will do even greater things.”
He was teaching them how to use the four elements of material existence to operate within, and to optimize, their own material existence for the benefit of others. Of course today we’ve lost not only the techniques, but also the ability to believe or know that these things work.
I have an Essene document which includes a number of these miracles being done by Jesus using various combinations of the elements and his Divine will. My belief is these specific practices were not unique to Jesus, but practiced by various mystics throughout the ancient world.
This doesn’t mean these other mystics were on par with Jesus, even if they too could do miracles. Because of Jesus’ Divine stature his power was further amplified in ways that may be difficult for us to understand. It’s likely that due to the very strength and intensity of his presence and aura anyone around him with an open heart would’ve been deeply impacted. His words would have been that much more powerful for anyone within his auric field. And the same would be true for his healing ability.
We all know that person who is so full of joy and love that they fill the room with it. An hour with them is somehow healing and energizing to our soul. Jesus had that 100x or more; plus the teachings, plus the techniques. Why do powerful teachers attract massive crowds? It’s often more than the words and the loaves and the fish.
And so perhaps given his immense powers there were many times Jesus performed healings without assistance from the elements, but I tend to think he used the four elements in his work quite a bit. And like I said earlier, my guess is many of these other element-assisted healing examples may have been stripped from the original scripture to differentiate Jesus from other mystics or mere “magicians”, as they were sometimes called.
After all, how do you keep a control structure in place if everyone begins to understand that they too can potentially work wonders?
And yes, there’s some wisdom in keeping the more advanced teachings to the inner circles. These techniques can work both ways, and someone getting ahold of them too soon could potentially do harm both physically and karmically.
But now’s the time to grow up.
We live in an age of nuclear weapons and so we need every tool at our disposal to help ourselves and humanity expand into greater consciousness.
Greater joy and greater love.
She Has Forgotten Her Ancient Knowledge
Regardless of how these teachings were lost, barely a hundred years after the crucifixion some within the church were already lamenting the disappearance of the original teachings and power…
“Another consideration shows us clearly how much of this early teaching has been lost. The church now devotes herself solely to producing good men, and points to the saints as her crowning glory and achievement. But in the older days she claimed to be able to do much more than that.
“When she had made a man a saint, her work with him was just beginning, for only then was he fit for the training and teaching which she could give him then, but not now, because she has forgotten her ancient knowledge.”
Clement of Alexandria
Clement goes on to say that beyond purification, or making good humans, the church had once been able to train individuals to experience not only visions of the Kingdom, but also receive direct experiences of God; but only 100 years after Christ most of that knowledge and teaching had already been lost.
And has anything changed in the subsequent 1900 years? Does the church today produce anything more than people focused on attempting goodness?
Of course Jesus, even as a Divine figure, was instructed in (and spent time teaching his inner circle) the Mysteries, those teachings which seem to have predated him by thousands of years and have always been kept and handed down by a few.
An Infusion of Joy and Love
Before we get into the practices I will make you a promise: if you approach this work with a beautiful mix of sincere openness and possibility, you may begin to discover a new way of being in the world. On the other hand if you approach these practices with cynicism I guarantee you they will not work.
So the first practice simply involves you and a glass of water.
And according to the ancient teaching you can infuse that glass of water with a positive intent such as joy or love, and you can drink that water with the deep intention that this infused water, full of joy or full of love, is being distributed throughout every cell of your body.
Cleansing you.
Nourishing you.
And you can imagine it, and you can feel it, and you can see it in your mind’s eye. And you can go through your day knowing you completed this practice with deep intent and a deep belief that in some way it made a real difference. It is making a real difference.
You are becoming more joyful. You are becoming more loving.
And as you repeat the practice over time you will begin to feel and understand that you are more joy. You are more love.
And that’s it. That’s the practice. It’s not a one time thing but it becomes a way of being.
And suddenly you realize why we grew up saying a blessing over our meals and why we should be careful about what else we’re consuming (such as fear-based news or social media) while we’re drinking or eating because this sort of magic works both ways, whether we’re paying attention or not.
And now it makes sense why placebos work, and your head might be spinning because so many secrets about the world are all hidden in plain sight.
So indeed, as our born mystic friends from the autism community are teaching us, water is a substance the Divine works through in many powerful ways.
Wash Away the Negative
The second way we can use water in a powerful way in everyday life is when we wash our hands or take a shower.
This practice is as simple as imagining that as you wash your hands or your body you’re not only washing your physical body, you’re also cleansing your spiritual bodies. You are washing away all negative energy, all anxiety and worry, and any concerns of the world. You’re allowing the water to take away any sickness or weakness in your body, washing away anything that doesn’t serve your highest good.
The more you can “know” that this is happening the more effective it will be.
And I can hear the doubt from a few of you, the question of “is that all there is to it?”
Yes, as mentioned above, we can do magical things when we infuse the power of imagination and deep belief into water, married with the intent of a desired, positive outcome.
And speaking of doubt, there’s also a slightly different but related approach we can take to removing those thoughts and feelings that no longer serve us:
You can also immerse your hands for a while in cold water, then concentrate intensively on the idea that the [water] attracts all weaknesses from your body and soul.
Be completely convinced that all failures pass over into the water. You will be surprised within a relatively short time by the success of this exercise. Make certain that you dispose of the water immediately.
This exercise has an extraordinarily strong effect if you practice it in a river in the summertime where you can immerse the entire body, with the exception of the head.
Interesting that the guidebook goes as far as to say make certain that you dispose of the water immediately, as it now carries those negative energies that do not serve you.
One of the individuals from The Telepathy Tapes recently shared4 that while we typically think of water as being capable of three forms (liquid, gas, and solid) there are actually seven forms of water, including thought.
I can’t quite wrap my mind around this fully, but imagine transferring our negative thoughts and energies into the water and that water being washed away, carrying any negativity with it.
Or imagine infusing a glass of water with our positive thoughts and intentions and then drinking that water as it transports increasing love and joy into every cell of our being.
The non-speaking autistic individuals have told us that water is one of the Creator’s favorite tools of creation, so it then makes perfect sense that water would be a powerful medium for us to create a love-filled, joy-filled life.
We thank the Masters, known and unknown, who’ve handed down these teachings.
The Deepest Magic I Know
Will these practices work? Only if we want them to.
Maybe the better question for us to ask is can we begin to allow these practices to work?
As I’ve been saying lately Reality is reciprocal. We can live in a magical world if we believe, if we choose; and I often feel that I already do.
And when I say we can live in a magical world I don’t mean spiritual bypassing or having our head in the clouds. The goal isn’t to escape the world. The goal is to live more fully within it. To do more good. To be more loving. To be involved and to make a difference with our lives.
This is the greatest form of magic. An enjoyable life well lived. (And yes, we can enjoy our lives no matter the external circumstances. No matter what the stock market is doing or which political parties are in charge or what aggravating assignment your boss just gave you😉.)
I certainly still have my daily and weekly struggles, but with just my experiences of the first few months of 2025 I could already write an entire book on the joy and the love that’s arrived, often in wildly synchronous ways; and I fully expect these experiences will only be increasing.
But very little was happening in this area for me even a year ago. Or at least very little that I could see, even though in hindsight many things were already in motion.
That’s how it works. We change our inner world, and the outer world begins to move as well, although it often takes a little while for the outer to fully reflect the inner.
Blessings often move beneath the surface for weeks or months before they appear.
I’m seeing things come to life now that have been quietly growing for eight or nine months beneath the surface. And I have zero doubt there are many other wonderful things in motion today that won’t become visible to me for many months or even years.
But they are coming.
And the same is true for you. And all you have to do is ask.
The Universe is patiently waiting for each of us to raise our hand and say…
“Yes, I want to be involved. Allow me to be of service.”
And those two sentences right there are the deepest magic I know.
"The Water said to the dirty one, 'Come here.' The dirty one said, 'I am too ashamed.' The water replied, 'How will your shame be washed away without me?'"

Great follow up to your “sending heart emojis” magic ❤️
Love the rituals. I won't drink a glass of water or wash my hands the same way.
