Do you believe in some sort of magical level of reality, too?

There’s certainly plenty going on that I’ve experienced that transcends my own rational explanation of reality. It became so overwhelmingly blatant that I had no choice but to accept the mystery as it is. Otherwise I’d be lying to myself.
With that said I think ‘magical experiences’ will become more of an accepted reality once we can define as much as possible these events through ‘accepted’ language and explanation with an updated model of reality.

I think every level of reality is magic and miraculous, and not seeeing this is a form of dissociation.

Reminds me of something I read relating the experience of a child picking up a leaf and being so fascinated by it. After asking his father what it was and the father explaining that it was called a leaf, thereby defining the object, the child lost all fascination of it.

Not sure about magic, however I think ghosts might exist. Not because I am superstitious, but because many cultures have a concept and a word for it. It's unlikely that so many people are making it up or lying about it.

Show us on the doll, where did the magic touch you? 
What I would like to hear from someone who returned from the dead is a solution to an important problem, like desalination or cancer.
I do not believe that near death experiences are necessary, in order to achieve inspiration -- like from our forebears who liked to live dangerously.
I do believe that visionary experiences were useful or may have actually put controversy to rest, with some visible sign, like a downpayment on good faith.
Also, a falsifiable goal with some do-or-die date.
If I say such a thing and fail to follow through, deal with me as the ancients dealt with false prophets.
