“The world of the Dagara also does not distinguish between reality and imagination. To us, there is a close connection between thought and reality. To imagine something, to closely focus one’s thoughts upon it, has the potential to bring that something into being. Thus, people who take a tragic view of life and are always expecting the worst usually manifest that reality. Those who expect that things will work together for the good usually experience just that. In the realm of the sacred, this concept is take it even further, for what is magic but the ability to focus thought and energy to get results on a human plane? The Dagara view of reality is large. If one can imagine some thing, then it has at least the potential to exist.”
