MAMA PRESENTS… with the Magic of Rids VanDerZee –Airielle Pearson & Jason Schwartz share a wonderful magical astonishing visit with the great Rids VanDerZee, Netherlandian magician, illusionist & Comedian. This was in the mid 1990s. Rids van der Zee (1923–2003), a Dutch-born magician who immigrated to Australia, known as “Rids the Flying Dutchman,” a master of close-up magic and a beloved figure in the Australian magic community. Ridz died in 2003. 1923-2003
Summary
The video features an engaging and heartfelt conversation with Rids Vandersee, a magician, healer, and spiritual counselor originally from Holland who has lived in Australia for nearly five decades. Rids shares his unique perspective on magic, healing, spirituality, and life philosophy. He distinguishes between traditional sleight-of-hand magic and what he calls “real magic”—the transformational power of forgiveness, self-love, peace of mind, and positive attitude. Throughout the discussion, Rids emphasizes that happiness is a choice rooted in peace and contentment rather than material wealth. Using magic tricks with cards and simple objects, he illustrates deeper spiritual and life lessons about letting go of the past, embracing love, and the power of visualization.
Rids also reflects on his upbringing in a religious family, his time as a monk, and his eventual departure from traditional church dogma to embrace a more personal, intuitive spirituality centered on higher consciousness and universal love. He advocates for forgiveness—not only of others but critically of oneself—as a key to healing and personal growth. His healing practice includes private readings and counseling, where he uses cards as tools to help clients shift perspectives and create their own positive realities.
The video captures Rids’ philosophy that life is about embracing joy and simplicity, being childlike in wonder, and finding magic in everyday moments. He recounts touching experiences working with Mother Teresa’s hospice in India and highlights the importance of love and human connection as the true essence of healing. The conversation also touches on the societal and religious misunderstandings of spirituality and magic, promoting an inclusive, loving, and open-minded approach. Rids’ presence on Maui, where he performs and teaches, is a testament to his dedication to spreading inspiration and healing through both entertainment and profound wisdom.
Highlights
- [04:20] ❤️ The symbolism of card suits: hearts represent love, diamonds money, spades work, clubs confusion.
- [06:07] ✨ Forgiveness is a transformative magic, especially forgiving oneself.
- [09:28] God is defined as universal energy and vibration, not a literal figure.
- [17:07] Classic magic trick illustrating that magic is about perspective and wonder, not deception.
- [25:52] The greatest human need is to be loved and wanted—lack of this is the greatest disease.
- [41:58] Cards are used as counseling tools to help change attitudes and visualize new realities.
- [45:54] Healing focuses on improving quality of life and peace of mind, not curing disease.
Key Insights
- [04:20] ❤️ Card symbolism as life metaphors: Rids uses the four suits of cards to represent different aspects of life—love, money, work, and confusion. This framework provides a simple yet profound way to understand how different energies influence our experiences. For example, the seven of diamonds suggests financial comfort and abundance through doing what one loves, emphasizing that success is a tool for helping others, not greed. This metaphorical interpretation bridges the gap between everyday objects and spiritual lessons, making abstract concepts accessible.
- [06:07] ✨ Forgiveness as personal liberation: Rids stresses that most people find it easier to forgive others than to forgive themselves. This lack of self-forgiveness traps individuals in anger and resentment, which ultimately harms their own well-being. He calls forgiveness a form of real magic because it changes the internal narrative and frees people from the pain of the past. This insight highlights the psychological and spiritual necessity of compassion towards oneself as a foundation for true healing and happiness.
- [09:28] Reframing God as energy and consciousness:Rejecting traditional religious dogma, Rids presents God as an impersonal universal energy, vibration, or higher consciousness that sustains the universe. This perspective aligns spirituality with a more inclusive, experiential understanding of divinity, which can be accessed through meditation and stillness. It removes fear-based religious constructs and replaces them with a loving, unifying force that individuals can tune into, fostering personal empowerment and peace.
- [25:52] Human need for love and belonging: From his experience working with Mother Teresa’s hospice, Rids identifies not being loved or wanted as the greatest human affliction. This need for connection transcends physical health and material circumstances. His story of the dying boy who smiled upon receiving love underscores how fundamental emotional and spiritual care is to human dignity and peace. This insight is a powerful reminder to nurture relationships and express appreciation openly.
- [41:58] Cards as tools for counseling and transformation: Beyond their use in tricks and entertainment, Rids employs playing cards in his readings to illustrate the fluidity of life and the power of choice. By associating cards with months, days, and seasons, he shows how visualization and attitude shifts can influence outcomes. This use of symbolism and metaphor in counseling demonstrates how external objects can catalyze inner change, empowering clients to take control of their realities.
- [45:54] Healing as quality of life improvement: Rids clearly states he does not cure illnesses like cancer but focuses on enhancing patients’ well-being through positive mindset, relaxation, and self-esteem. This holistic approach to healing emphasizes mental and emotional health as critical components of living fully, even in the face of terminal diagnoses. His method aligns with integrative medicine principles, advocating for a peaceful, grateful approach to life as a form of healing energy.
- [50:48] Magic as joy and lightness of spirit: The essence of Rids’ philosophy is that magic is not about deception but the lightness and joy that come from experiencing wonder, kindness, and connection. He encourages people to embrace their inner child, dance, and savor simple pleasures. This insight underlines the therapeutic value of play and humor as essential for mental health and spiritual vitality, making magic a metaphor for living a joyful, open-hearted life.
Summary Conclusion
Rids Vandersee’s blend of magic, spirituality, and healing offers a compelling worldview that integrates wonder, love, forgiveness, and personal responsibility. He invites viewers to see beyond illusions and superficial success to the deeper magic of peace, self-acceptance, and connection with universal energy. His storytelling, magic demonstrations, and heartfelt wisdom create a holistic message: life’s true magic lies in choosing happiness, letting go of past hurts, and embracing love as a transformative force. The video not only entertains but inspires viewers to reflect on their own lives and the power they hold to create miracles through mindset, forgiveness, and kindness.

vandersee and i understand that means from the sea yeah i come from holland and i have i was born 72 years ago 72. but i’ve been living in australia for 48 years so i’m very much australian but um that’s origin and i only have to speak two words and people know that i come from germany or holland but it is not germany it is holland and indeed my medic my hobby is magic i love mexicans but look at the way he handles these cars oh that looks clever isn’t it no it’s not it’s a trick that’s it
03:44
that’s not clever at all because you tell me you gave him this card no that is this back no no i was just going i was going to say that medicine magic is strict magic is slight of hands maggie can be illusion but what i really do is i have a normal deck of cards they have been shuffled here by karen and ken and i love you to take a card and then i’ll show you what i do just take one anyone just yeah yeah yeah that’s fine that’s great have a look have a look put it back and now hearts
04:20
i always say hearts is love diamonds is money spate is work collapses confusion now i’m not a fortune teller because your future depends on decision you make you know that but are you seven of diamonds is it yeah but seven of diamonds is actually a card now it’s coming yes live within the boxes what does that mean seven of diamonds actually seven of diamonds means you will be comfortable perhaps not millions but we don’t need millions do we we need to be happy i say abundance comes when you do what
05:00
you like to do and that is what you do and that’s why seven of diamonds is really you got everything but i think there is nothing wrong with money because the more money you make the more people you can help the more money you make the more people you can employ greed is wrong but not being successful but the magic is actually a hobby when i say i believe in real medic there are so many people probably watching us now who’ve got it all but are not happy oh so many of them you’re right and if they
05:32
can learn to let go of the past don’t hang on to the past it’s finished you can’t change it so but you can change the way you look at the past and i think that’s magic because if you’re angry at somebody from here from there 10 years 20 years ago if you’re angry at somebody that doesn’t hurt a person that hurts you so anger is a normal emotion but then forgive and that is what i’m all about because i can change people’s life by just showing them away forgive thank you but most people
06:07
forgive other people but they don’t forgive themselves that’s the big one isn’t it that is the one and somehow somewhere it’s magic because you can change your life from this very moment some people think happiness is having a glorious home and gardens and millions in the bank to me happiness is peace of mind peace of mind contentment and enough change in your pocket to pay the bills and it’s deciding to be happy too don’t you think correct because it’s a decision if you want something
06:43
you can make it happen just for fun take a card i’ll show you have a look have a look it doesn’t matter the car no no ah you see she put a meaning to the cards and actually clubs is indeed confusion but it is wonderful to be aware if there is something wrong or there is confusion you can let go you’re saying thank you did it teach me something have i become a wiser person by experiencing that and i think it is you know i uh my life has been full of magic i’ve been blessed with wonderful parents in
07:26
holland and i was always different i was interested in in a spiritual path i know you’re not your body you’re not your intellect you’re a soul in a physical body and while we live in this physical body we make the best of it and so on and i often say in fact i said it this morning to beautiful karen here i said i don’t want to be alive if i should be dead but while i’m alive i make the very best of it and it works absolutely yes and and i think you know the meaning of being alive is to live
08:04
and so many people don’t do that that’s correct so you are to me so right on with your philosophy well so but tell me have you when you were a little boy in holland yes were you interested in spiritual things and did you do magic tricks i’m allowed to say what i feel oh of course well i really feel that churches have done a lot of good but they also confused a lot of people i agree and i have been brought up in a religious family catholics and down today don’t do that sin mortal sin if you don’t you go to
08:44
hell and all that and i woke up very quickly that it couldn’t be like that but i was indoctrinated so i decided at the age of 17 18 i wanted to be a monk and i went to the monastery and i’ve been five years a month and i’ve learned so much how not to no no and i think when people say i don’t believe in god they do but they don’t believe in the god what have been taught by churches uh that’s a good point yes that’s an excellent i think god is to me that power that energy that vibration
09:28
that higher consciousness it what sustains the whole universe that’s and if you can be in tune with that power with that energy with that vibration that’s all right then everything works you’re such a wise no no no no no but i we’re so lucky to have this beautiful man on our island with us i hope you get to experience oh well i don’t know what to say about that but i was going to say to you lots of people ask god make it happen and i often think god doesn’t do it for you he
10:07
does it with you and as you say you have to be happy you have to enjoy life that’s right yes that’s right happiness is peace of mind you have to be the hands that’s correct because god is not a man who sits there with a beard and and so on that was the picture we talked was taught and now we think of somebody there have you been good yes i’ll help you that’s not how it works i am in tune with spirit every day i i just meditate i relax i calm down i stop the intellect and then you become still
10:44
and in that stillness you can see things you you see your priorities of course we live in a physical body we need to be hugged and loved and wanted and intimacy that’s all part but i believe that if you want to be of some purpose to somebody somewhere your life becomes full yes i religious well i learned they told me don’t leave the monastery because you’re not listening to god he wants you to be there and i said i did listen to god and i went in and i’m listening now and he tells me
11:20
to get out and they did not agree with it but i i have i felt that you did it anyway good for you that’s not always easy to go against i always wanted to go to south africa south africa fascinated me probably the missions and the poor black people and so on and when i went to the immigration office i said i would like to go to south africa and they said well follow the queue over there and there were about 40 people and i said how long will it take and they said hours i said why don’t you go to that counter
11:58
there’s only one person and that was australia and i went to australia and i never realized it but it has been the most wonderful wonderful oh my goodness so that’s how you got to australia yes i never knew anything about australia and i’m the happiest person so that is the true adventure well it is it is being willing to just step off the fists and and journey forward without knowing yeah well you know i know very little but i think if praying is you talking to god intuition is spirit talking to you
12:40
your intuition your gut feeling will tell you don’t go go give it a miss and and and i feel that spirit talking and i follow very much that lifestyle i love that my wife and i we we agree to disagree in an agreeable way we love each other but it doesn’t mean we think the same i think lots of people if they’re not happy they probably want their husband to be the way they want them to be and or they pretend they pretend a lot of people are really good pretenders [Laughter] no i really feel
13:19
i love you but i don’t agree with you is fine i love my children but it doesn’t mean i like everything they do but i love them so that has nothing to do with each other no one thing has nothing to do with the other does it but we get confused in this human dimension that’s correct yes yes i fully agree i i would love to bring in jason and can maybe you would let him pull one of your magic cards lovely love the experience of well anyone it’s a normal deck he says it’s a normal deck and karen says that she gave
13:54
it to him yes they’re not mine i’ve never they’re not yes no i’d love you to take a cat please do because i want to show you something anyone doesn’t matter what one that that’s a good one pick that one yeah that doesn’t matter i see how this works no no any card no no this is a trick it’s a trick because i want to say just recently i was in china and i was asked to do some magic in china and i can’t speak chinese so i did it this way i said what’s yukat and the interpreter would say in
14:27
chinese what it is and i said oh fine you can’t and then i went like this and like this and then what’s that for four of hearts is you got four of hearts is it it is now of course it is because i’ve got one two here no it had to be the four of hearts now that is that is stupid no no that is just a trick oh i love it i love to show you something actually for children you do different methi children don’t like her but this is something for you oh good something for you i’m definitely a child
15:07
i was going to say we’re all child at heart abracadabra now what i would like you to do is have a lolly have a lolly so that you eat lollies they’re australian lollies too what’s lolli mean lolli is a sweet is it or you call them sweets here’s because now of course that is mexican australian lollies no no that is easy that is that’s not magic magic is the innocent enjoyment of simple things and if you think about that pigeon that’s magic i’m waiting for a pigeon oh i have pigeons at home and i have
15:52
beautiful white birds and so on but i retired doing magic like this for the last 20 years now i work only with cards that is actually uh oh sorry of course that’s not magic that is just ariel’s good huh a little bit of fun what what i really love doing is i like to work with real cards so i will try to do a trick for you and magic just magic uh take a card just for fun okay good i get to do another one now take this one take this one this matter what it is top middle bottom it doesn’t
16:32
make any difference and i would love you to show the car to everyone i’ll close my eyes yes so the audience will know the card now take the card and tear it up it’s all right yeah tear it up it’s just fun sorry no i’ve used another pack oh go through deck of cards no that’s all that’s only one card this is actually a good trick i did this trick when i was 12 years of age you did and i had keep one little piece for you to check and this is the little box i used when i was 12 or 13
17:07
something like that what it’s a magic box now you know it’s not real but if i say abracadabra i want it to be one card then have a look if that fits in there oh my gosh does it you’re wonderful it’s exactly ariel you’re the best you’re the best you’re the best how did you do that the question is oh i have a question i see that you are a purveyor of magic but part of the magic of you is your healing magic yes and as i look at this i i think you know i i am um searching a little bit because
17:51
i’m trying to tie it in to understand how magic relates to um our ability to realize there are things greater than what we easily perceive how right you are you don’t need somebody to explain it to you it’s like live it’s torn up in little bits and then we bring it together like a card and there’s still one little piece missing and very often with people they’ve got it all and they’re still so unhappy and if they only could realize that how simple it is to love themselves to
18:28
believe in themselves to forgive to let go of the past not hanging on i think that’s the greatest thing and then all of a sudden it feels like it comes together you know sex is only sex but making love is holy it’s beautiful there is nothing more beautiful but lots of people don’t even know what it means to make love they they have sex and then they want somebody else and want somebody else but if you’re in tune with that power with that energy in my humble opinion then you can’t go wrong i really
19:02
enjoy being alive i enjoy being here i enjoy meeting the people in hawaii it is just unreal i was taken yesterday to yao valley wow doesn’t god speak to you there isn’t it incredible oh i don’t think you have to do anything it was just the water holes and the magic the magic is real the magic is so present and i really feel i can find god wherever i am so although i go to church and that’s been a practice for me and i really don’t mind going to church for an hour a week to relax and to come to myself and listen
19:45
to glorious music and lovely windows it’s almost as it’s fine but i don’t go to church because i have to i certainly don’t have to you go an hour a week in other words you go to uh quote be in communion with other people oh very nice yes on sundays okay i think we are social being so we want to belong and with the family with your children with your friends but on a sunday with the people how do they relate to your magic they’re fascinated but i don’t make much fuss lots of my friends don’t even know
20:22
around here born again christians have professed things about uh magic being uh have you been the reborn yes reborn christian i we do have them in australia and as i said some churches have done a lot of good but they also confused a lot of people they think the bible literally and they said well who wrote the bible do they take pieces and put them together that’s a good question i think unfortunately i very much believe that those people live in fear god is love and love unites love is is it what keeps it together but if you
21:02
believe that you have to do that and have to do that and god will they are completely on the wrong path god is love honestly you can feel it it is it’s magic you know i was going to it is messy it is and i can feel it i know what you mean i love it i was just feeling with him wow that is wonderful it is it’s wonderful i like the way you think yeah thank you i really do because that is the truth and and the truth is so simple i often say you know knowledge is knowing a lot wisdom is common sense wisdom is so simple
21:45
joy thank you i think the more times you say thank you the more things will come your way to be thankful for it is not a joke it’s real but there’s no fear of all those religions now but i’m sure those people are so lonely and sometimes confused they want to be long and we have sheep and we have shepherds and we have lots of sheep in this world who want to follow australia has sheep new zealand got bored yes we have a lot of sheep but they get cheered i always say hundreds of thousands
22:20
that’s where the money comes from oh i think that’s great what is this it looks like a roll of wallpaper but i bet it’s not no no no it’s not no no no no no some people are you know oh it is it’s a trick for children and they say never very beautiful umbrellas like mary poppins well yes and very quickly i am always watching you know they always talk about sleight of hand you like the topic actually for children oh i’m a child so yeah so what absolutely so i have we put some tissues in here
23:05

23:48
course is here and we say abra cadabra and it’s just magic magic for children that is only what makes us what makes us so open i mean when i’m seeing this i’m thinking to myself you know here i am right here and i’m trying to be so very clever and watching but i think it was this it was the light from your magic wand that’s what it was i i really think you know this is trickery and i know if you think that’s i know it’s a trick of course i know if anybody knows me but i think the real magic in life

25:14
one particular day we picked up a body in the morning with a corpse car we call that four o’clock in the morning and you pick up the people who have died overnight and that’s not so bad because they did but it was the ones who are not that that you say my goodness wow good and what i really wanted to say about that is that one particular morning a young boy 16 17 beautiful boy i picked him up and our eyes did not break we looked at each other and i smiled and he smiled and then i cleaned him and i
25:52
tried to feed him and then he died just with a smile on his face and and the sister said ritz don’t worry he loves you and not to be wanted and loved is the greatest disease in the world and you too wherever you are we all want to be loved and wanted and appreciated tell your wife that she looks beautiful tell your husband that he is fine tell him thank you for being there and so on because not to be wanted and loved is honestly the greatest disease so that experience was wonderful i went to all the

29:53
when i see you i think of dream makers as magicians because we take something that is not of the physical world and we add a little twist and touch it in the right spot and suddenly it makes magic you know uh this world is what we think it is and what we create is that dream come true for people who have been sick or have cancer the last wish or is that’s not what this isn’t i don’t know say that again i don’t know the the the organization i think it must be maui that is not in australia

really most enjoy is how things people talk about coincidence and coincidence is uh really a plan of some order greater than what we see that’s i keep going back to the same theme i guess no no no that magic is really a different level of reality not a better level or a higher level but a different level the ability to perceive things and when i hear that you do private sessions and i see you do magic i’m thinking they relate do they relate in your session in a way they do i it can put people off when you do
38:47
a reading and you use cards they think that’s trickery but i don’t use it as trickery to me a pack of cards is a calendar black white positive negative yin yang four suits to four seasons 12 cards in each suit the 12 months of the year 13 cards in each suit the 12 months of the lunar year and the sun and if you count them all up there’s 365 points it’s the days of the year so actually a pack of cards is a calendar and the tarot card is that right it’s 365 yes you can count them up and 52 weeks in a
39:28
year i didn’t have them yes and four suits the four seasons it is very interesting so i use my cards but i use my cards more to explain i say to people say ten of spades now as quick as i change the card you can change attitude wow and honestly that is how quick it is if i can make people aware in a private session in a reading to say look you don’t have to put up with it they think my goodness that’s my life and that’s my man and that’s you can change attitude and as quick as
40:10
i do that with the cards six of spades yeah but that is only a card but but go it’s eight of hearts now as quick as we do that we can change attitude so i use mathematic actually to demonstrate i can say i would like say out of the full pack visualization you know the word visualization you visualize and you create your own reality people don’t realize it they put up with it and they think oh god another boring day it will be boring because that’s what you create but if you’re going to say
40:46
it’s going to be wonderful and great and i’m going to be open to it all the magic happens and that’s the real magic now six of diamonds i said so just just for fun point to a card please ariel point to one of the cards okay it doesn’t matter what it is just point to one and i’ll take that one this one three choice no forcing six of diamonds now as i visualize it and concentrate on it you seem to go for it that’s why i said if praying is you talking to god intuition is god
41:21
talking to you when you go with your gut feeling you’re making the right thing if you hurt somebody you know you’re not doing the right thing it doesn’t because it’s in the bible it is not because jesus said it apparently but if you give you will receive and when you forgive that’s it happens and that’s the message i’m interested in not in the silly tricks but i can use my cards to demonstrate because uh combining my magic since i was so young 60 years and more uh isn’t it
41:58
that’s good i’ll have to show you something and the best no i’d love to show you seven of diamonds no put it on your hand hold your hand out like that seven of diamonds now that’s very quick that’s a trick but the trick is that what you’ve got in your hands you can turn into gold when you give you will receive jesus never said go overboard he didn’t say go stupid no be sensible love their neighbor as yourself if you don’t love yourself how can other people love you so
42:34
self-esteem self-worth self-confidence is so important yes so my readings yes my readings are counseling sessions when we talk about healing i have had people and that is not too rave but they came from wherever i didn’t know i said one little thing and they said rich that’s enough that makes sense i said what do you mean he said no i can see and i think if you go to the bible jesus made the blind people see that is not because they were blind and he couldn’t see they wouldn’t be on the
43:12
street but they didn’t understand and when he said be kind give love to children don’t molest them it’s not horrible what’s happening in the world you know it says don’t be childish but childlike well i think magic is childlike i think you are your inner being your inner child is it wants to dance and i think people should dance more you really should dance more dance is movement it’s life it’s celebration it is it’s magic and you’re worn out and you feel on top of the world and
43:49
that’s what dance does so by just giving that to people that’s my healing so i don’t put hands on and say no relax and do i can do that too i’m a masseur but i don’t do that anymore but sometimes you can touch the people when you gave me a hug woman it felt magic i don’t know it was just all right but if you could be in the hug by a young girl and for different reasons it’s not the same no it’s different it is it is almost an interaction of love and energy and so on and that is
44:25
what i like well we have a hug going on here while we’re standing here [Laughter] i do thank you very very much for allowing me to be with you thank you now tell me if someone had a disease all right and they came to you and they had cancer and they said to you how could you help them here very beautiful question i cannot cure cancer but i can improve the equality of life by seeing thank you for the good times we’ve had thank you for the children thank you for even in a bad marriage for example you
45:13
have bad times and you get angry but you also had good times and i like say concentrate more on the positive things when it is cancer it is a horrible disease but if you think the right way your body will function the right way and i don’t say it will kill the cancer but if you feel good with yourself and your self-esteem your self-worth then it gives you an energy and you can make cancer dormant but i’ll never say that i can cure i can teach people to relax and to unwind to be still through deep breathing and to be
45:54
completely still we have a wonderful psychiatrist in australia dr ainsley mears he wrote a beautiful book relief without drugs well known best seller in australia he never said he could cure cancer but my goodness people came to him and said thank you you have healed me because i can see that the time i have left here i’m going to enjoy and i’m sure you know that lovely saying if you knew that was the last day in your life what would you do you would bring up all your friends and you would
46:29
say i love you and i love you and i forgive me and and enjoy yourself why don’t we live like that every day let’s pretend it’s the last day make it the very best and then you will do things so even with people with cancer i touch them and i say if you there before me or i will be there before you thank you for allowing me to be with you and sometimes as i said the more times you say thank you the more things will come your way to be thankful for haven’t we got a lot everything we have
47:02
so much you can walk you can see you can hear you’re beautiful what a country hawaii it is maui we get to feast our eyes on beauty all the time all the time beauty and each other yes very very true and the beauty that surrounds us i mean and we are so lucky while the rest of the world is in so much turmoil to be here in this yes we can’t change paradise that that’s you can’t change the wars and no but you know people would like to i know yes i know but i think we should start with ourself
47:40
bring peace within yourself and then you share it with you and the friends and the people who come and if everybody does that then there will be peace then there would be no war right no i just heard yesterday a person came to see me for a consultation i’ve started and the person is from a jewish faith and has met a beautiful man and he is from an arabian wow his parents how can you i thought and they love each other they’re beautiful and i said that might be the beginning of world peace and people can live
48:18
because we’re all the same we’re all human this matter if my parents would have been jewish i would have been jews if my parents would have been negros i would have been a negro so that has nothing to do with it but spirit says it’s all right let’s do it our way and we have to listen and that’s the big secret yes i fully agree it’s the listening part close your eyes so you can see thank you and thank you so thank you thank you for your wonderful lessons here today thank you very much jason do you want to
48:59
come say goodbye with us you made it very easy it’s so wonderful to have you with us these guys want to keep saying goodbye i don’t want to say goodbye [Laughter] i don’t want to say goodbye oh no i don’t want to say goodbye either with this keyboard that’s my favorite so yes well put your finger there and it’s unreal c-e-t that’s it but you can absorb the magic god of christ god is everything god is we call it spirit allow spirit to become part of you and when we die we leave everything behind
49:34
but you take with you what you’ve done for other people and i think that’s the magic that is the magic yes you see it’s funny about that that is really part of what we try to do really in every show many people who watch us over time you know we are dream makers what we do is we walk hand in hand with someone toward their dream you’re talking about the vision i mean having vision of the future of your life of how you choose it to be same philosophy see so we’re already in that
50:09
what i’m appreciating when i’m watching you is you have a very light spirit as if you you know clearly that having fun yes and that lightness of spirit and sharing that lightness is the most valuable thing i think that is the real magic you have put it in the right words that’s magic and i hope we touched you as well with what we have been saying did we touch you if we touched you we want you to get to the website what’s the website www dot dot rich magic r i d s magic one word dot com that’s all
50:48
so like reads magic ritzmatic.com and what would we find on your website you’ll find a monthly bulletin but i make up and photos of my grandchildren but a bit of philosophy a little bit of inspiration a little bit of humor and yes i get thousands of visitors to my website maui is on at the moment that i’m here with adam and for november i’m working on my november bulletin from maui and yeah do you um do healing work from a distance absent healing no so i do so for example let’s say i’m here with
51:30
you in a private session yes um once you experience me do you work with a client from a distance or you i need to be physically with them usually usually with them but i can touch people in so many different ways to be needed to be wanted to be loved to be appreciated is the biggest healing i think it is often very lonely people who whose relationship haven’t worked or the children are not even come to the parents and and they suffer and things like that and then i say well you did have them for a certain time
52:11
absent healing i send positive thoughts and i send it to you i send healing power to you because if you may see or understand that you create your own future it’s magic it doesn’t matter where you live if your home is a castle or a humble home you can be very happy i know so many people who’ve got it all and are the unhappiest people so healing is is to make people see and i think that’s the lovely part in the bible i like that he made people see it was their fate that you believe
52:46
that you create your own future so in many ways from what i see in you the magic is just to set a condition where you share the most important magic which is the magic of realizing that that when you share love you’re sharing god and through all that you’re doing you’re just trying to lighten things up so that people will take things with a little bit more uh joy that’s relaxation arielle’s the queen of joy here wow that’s lovely look at the light look at this oh yes sometimes you touch things and
53:23
you can feel the vibration but you have summed it up beautifully so you touch them and the light comes on well they worked i’m going to let you guys do a closing but i think we can we’ve already done a lot of them we’re going to do another closing in a minute i’m going to jump out and i want to see these guys hugging and look for the light we’ll see the magic watch wow ariel maya thank you very very much well it has been my great pleasure sir to experience your wizardry visit three i love that word because
