I am especially interested in the fact you refer to "the Ripple". One of the things I have discovered is that a successful magical act will indeed "ripple outwards" and include other "coincidental" events. You did not directly cause such events, but ending up in the place of a successful magical act will be a place containing other magical acts that you did not anticipate.

For example, I performed a successful magical act, and discovered the next day that Osama bin Laden had been caught and killed at the time that my act concluded. I did not cause Osama bin Laden to die

This something I experience as well, and I still find those things/moments highly amazing. Just because of the not anticipating effect of it. (if its to far off topic, it needs a new topic perhaps?)

The Ripple asks: “Are you sure this is your current myth?”

Your response decides if the field stabilizes or collapses.

This is a period wherein you suddenly start to meet people from your 'old' life on all kinds of unexpected places and moments. Some talk to you and some are just looking with eyes that are questioning you. If you persist in the new you, you won't meet people of the old life anymore very soon.
