"My magic isn't magical". Okaaaaaay. It's almost as if I've had this discussion before, many times, with many people who believe in disparate things. People who, like you, aren't satisfied until we arrive at a magic explanation.....but rebel against magic, just as soon as we arrive there.
I'm still wondering why the sky is hotdog and the grass is Steve, btw. I think that if you tried to answer either of those questions you might come to a realization about your own.
Your charm's wearing thin.....
This exploratory into the self obviously chaps your ass...try giving it a introspective critique instead of a sophomoric rant. I'll wait.

...an introspective critique -of what-........? Practically begging for suggestions here.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You've got me thinking, alright..but probably not about the things you'd hoped for...since you refuse to suggest what they may be, or accept anything that anyone has offered you.

If that's the best you have to offer than so be it. Is it? (rhetorical question #236)

When people ask questions like this they are either genuinely interested and looking to learn/discuss, or building up to an argument from ignorance.
Which is it today I wonder?

Just as you use a different word for magic than we do...we use a different word for a koan than you do, lol. It's becoming increasingly apparent that you're a witch doctor peddling his wares to people you feel to be in dire need.
