Where Has Our Magick Gone?

I am a non theistic Pagan. I have "labelled" myself incorrectly for quite a few years as atheist. I still don't believe in deities controlling our lives but believe in the power of magick and the unseen energies that surround us. I do believe in the power of nature, science, alchemy, true magick and the abilities we all at one time had.
With our current society we have forgot these abilities due to the controlling factors of organized religion.
At one time in our society a long time ago,  children were brought before elders, where ever they lived, and children presented their abilities, whether powerful or weak to them. Many children were taught to enhance and practice their abilities and not to be afraid of what they could do. We have been so scolded by religion to not use these natural abilities.  Some people have great strength. I have met people that have said abilities and have been shamed to think that these abilities are deemed evil.  The electrical energy and abilities  in our bodies is literally magickal. We have been so controlled by religion to think that our gifts are evil. It's one of the reasons that I so despise all religions.
The power of the mind over ourselves and bodies can be astounding. I have read articles of people that with the power of the mind has healed them. A lot of people say it is a deity intervention but sadly don't realize that the power of a healthy thought, will, determination, strength and mind can actually heal themselves. The saying of physician heal thy self has a profound enlightenment. It truly is a very valid point.
Religions can and will stifle the natural abilities the each and every individual has within them. We have have been told they are evil and of the devil or whatever man made deity that has been made up. We as a society need a scape goat for short comings and stupidity. Blame the so called deities for your fuck up or misfortune is childishly pathetic.  Shit happens in our lives and we have literally ourselves to blame for this. Many things are out of control as we live in a chaotic society. The events in our life good and bad are literally of our surroundings and people. We are not in control of people. What path they chosen, good or bad is made of events in their lives and choices a person does through out their lives.
Every person on this planet has problems, but to blame some else or some imaginary friend for your misfortune is missing the point for a great opportunity to reflect on yourself for improvement. This also doesn't give you licence to have a pity party and feel sorry for yourself. It is a time to look inward to fix YOUR personal mistakes.
For years I have battled depression, and I finally now realize that my blame on other people and things for my condition is all my fault. I now know that I literally need to  look at the man in the mirror and find the magick that I have so long have forgotten.
Magick is a great thing. And should be embraced, nurtured and practiced. Contrary to what people think or say...there is no such thing as light or dark magick. There is just magick. Period.
