Introduction: Following the Eagle's Flight - A Conceptual Guide
to the Books of Carlos Castaneda. Ever since I could remember, I've
had a vague awareness that the world was more than it seemed. As a
child, I often felt surreal, like life was a play and everyone else
pretended it was real. Growing up, this feeling mainfested itself
into passions for science, literature and metaphysics. I began
reading anything that helped deepen my understanding of life's
mysteries.
The first time I read Carlos Castaneda, I was in high school.
The book was Don Juan: A Yaqui's Source of Knowledge and to be
honest, it didn't impress me. While the book was entertaining, I
never gave any credence to Castaneda's experiences and considered
them only as drug-induced possibilities. How could anybody turn
into a crow? Instead I read: Watts, Rand, Kerouac, Keats, Pirsig,
Jung, and anyone else who I thought had legitimately glimpsed into
the human condition. I went to college, traveled for a few years
and tried anything that could turn my vague awareness into a
conscious knowing. I took a job teaching science but I was more
interested in the metaphysical universe than the physical one. By
that time, I understood that all humans possessed the ability to
experience something greater than themselves. In fact, I would
argue that the themes of most books deal with a person's experience
of trying to tap into a greater power. The problem for me was that
neither science, philosophy nor religion had ever explained that
"greater power" in a rational, causual way. A few years later, I
came across The Art of Dreaming and after only a few pages, I
realized that this book was attempting to explain in detail, the
metaphysical universe. I wondered whether I had missed something in
Castaneda's first book so I immediately bought the entire series
from a second-hand book shop and started reading. The more I read,
the more I realized that Castaneda's books were not about
drug-induced fantasies but about a system of knowledge (Toltec)
that explained the nature of the universe. To understand that
system, I knew I had to pluck out all the important pieces from
each book and try and put them back together like a puzzle. After
initially reading the series, I reread it again, this time marking
each important passage and typing it into a computer. Having no
idea how the pieces of knowledge fit together, I began organizing
each idea conceptually trying to understand the main themes of
Castaneda's writing. Finally, four years later, I put the last
pieces of the puzzle together and stepped back to see what had been
created. I wasn't disappointed. Castaneda had managed to weave into
his books, the Toltec's entire system of knowledge. I was amazed at
the simplicity behind the knowledge yet the thoroughness to include
everything in its description. I no longer scoffed at the idea of
someone becoming a crow, in fact, it seems very rational to me now.
To ensure that I had left nothing out of the Toltec system of
knowledge, I read the other books written by other members in
Castaneda's group. All books verified and repeated what Castaneda
wrote with the exception of Taisha Abelar's The Sorcerer's
Crossing. Her book not only verified the Toltec knowledge but
enhanced some explanations that were vague or incomplete. Her
writings are included along with Castaneda's work.
Three themes emerged from Castaneda's work: First, the
description of the universe and humans as energy. Second, the
description why humans fail to perceive the universe and themselves
as energy. Third, the description on how to perceive the universe
and ourselves as energy via the sorcerer's way. See the summary of
the Sorcerer's Way. To truly appreciate the core ideas of the
Toltec knowledge, the work was designed to be read completely from
beginning to end. Through a series of questions and answers, each
Toltec concept is built upon each other thus enabling the reader to
move deeper and deeper into the knowledge as they read. Each
quotation is followed by the particular book's intials (see bottom
of page for key) and page number. Finally, I would like to caution
those who wish to understand Toltec knowledge through academic
means only. You can't. This intellectual organization of knowledge
serves as a starting point for people to question their reality but
does nothing to help you experience that reality. To truly
understand what it means to stop the world, to slip between its
cracks and to follow the flight of the Eagle, you need to put away
the books, stop talking about it and act. And you might, if you
maintain your actions, (intent) and act impeccably, you just might
be lucky enough to verify for yourself some of the concepts of the
Toltec path. Jay French Guide to the books:DJ - The Teachings of

Summary of the Sorcerer's way I. What is the true nature of
reality?
The universe and everything in it is made up solely of energy.
There are no objects, just energy. This energy emanates from a
force (The Eagle) and radiates throughout the universe (The Eagle's
Emanations) as an infinite number of energy fields. Humans are
energy bubbles (luminous eggs) that arise from one of the 48 energy
fields associated with the earth.(Great Bands of Emanations) There
are other non human bubbles arising from 7 different bands called
inorganic beings. Humans begin perceiving when a vibrating portion
of their emanations inside the luminous egg matches a vibrating
portion of outside emanations and fixates. The place where fixation
occurs inside the luminous egg is known as the assemblage point.
The assemblage point is where perception takes place. The position
of the assemblage point determines what a human will perceive. o If
the assemblage point is fixated habitually on one spot, this is
called the first attention. (tonal) o If the assemblage point
fixates somewhere other than the habitual spot, this is known as
the second attention. (nagual) o If the assemblage point fixates on
all spots at once, this is known as the third attention. (fire from
within) The purpose of humans is to enhance our awareness through
our life experiences then be taken back up into the Eagle as
food.
II. Why can't humans perceive the true nature of reality?
When humans are born, their assemblage point is very fluid and
babies perceive many different things. (including energy) As babies
get older, the assemblage point begins to fixate habitually based
upon what people teach the baby. (tonal of the times) The habitual
fixation of the assemblage point is reinforced daily so that all of
our available energy is
used to keep it there. (ego) Our perception of reality therefore
becomes fixed for life. III. How can humans perceive the true
nature of reality? (The Sorcerer's Way)
To experience the true nature of reality, a person has to move
the assemblage point from its habitual position. (called stopping
the world) To move the assemblage point, humans have to free up
some of the energy keeping the habitual assemblage point in place
by o impeccability, recapitulation, not-doing, gazing, tensegrity,
right way of walking, dreaming, etc. (This is the bulk of the
Sorcerer's Way) o being frightened, scared, starved, anything where
the ego doesn't concentrate on itself. After enough energy is freed
up and the assemblage point is becoming fluid, the person then
tries to permanently move their assemblage point into a different
position. (losing the human form) After a person loses the human
form or moves the assemblage point permanently, they are making
decisions about their life based on reality as energy. They are in
flow with nature and act accordingly with it, no matter how strange
their actions may seem to a "normal" person. They are considered
enlightened beings.
What is the ultimate goal of the Sorcerer's Way?
To enter the third attention which would allow them to bypass
being food for the Eagle.

A.) THE UNIVERSE
WHAT MAKES UP THE UNIVERSE?
THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS MADE UP OF ONLY ENERGY
Universe...everything is energy. The whole universe is energy.
TAOD,3....in the universe only energy exists...TAOD,239 .....In the
universe there is only energy, and energy has only a here and now,
an endless and ever present here and now. TAOD,248
THE UNIVERSE HAS EXITS AND ENTRANCES IN IT'S ENERGY FLOW There
are entrances and exits in the energy flow of the universe. TAOD,
22
WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF THE UNIVERSE'S ENERGY? The Eagle is the
source of the emanations.. FFW,58. The power that governs the
destiny of all living beings is called the Eagle. EG,172
...inconceivable dissolving force (Eagle) in the universe,
TAOD,149
THE EAGLE
WHY IS THE SOURCE OF ALL ENERGY CALLED THE EAGLE?
OLD SORCERERS DESCRIBED IT AS HAVING THE APPEARANCE OF AN EAGLE
It is called the Eagle not because it is an eagle or has anything
to do with an eagle, but because it appears to the seer as an
immeasurable jet-black eagle, standing as an eagle stands, its
height reaching to infinity. EG,172 the old seers in the few
glimpses that they could sustain, saw it as something that
resembled a black-and-white eagle of infinite size. FFW,55
FOUR BLAZES REVEALED WHAT THE EAGLE IS LIKE TO THE OLD SORCERERS
As the seer gazes on the blackness that the Eagle is, four blazes
of light reveal what the Eagle is like. The first blaze, which is
like a bolt of lightening, helps the seer make out the contours of
the Eagle's body. there are patches of whiteness that look like an
eagle's feathers and talons. A second blaze of lightening reveals
the flapping, wind-creating blackness that looks like eagle's
wings. With the third blaze of lightening the seer beholds a
piercing, inhuman eye. And the fourth and last blaze discloses
what the Eagle is doing. EG,173
DO WE REALLY "SEE" THE EAGLE?
WE CANNOT SEE THE EAGLE BUT OUR BODY SENSES IT ...there is
nothing visual about the Eagle. FFW,58. The entire body of a seer
senses the Eagle. There is something in all of us that can make us
witness with our entire body...because man is composed of the
Eagle's emanations, man need only revert back to his components.
FFW,58
IS IT DANGEROUS TO SEE THE EAGLE?
THERE IS SOME MORTAL RISK, DREAMING AND ONE'S INTENT HELP
PROTECT YOU ..there is no way to see the Eagle's emanations without
running a mortal risk...the technique of dreaming can be used as a
shield to protect themselves from the deadly blow of the Eagle's
emanations. FFW,191..The key to withstanding the Eagle's presence
was the potency of one's intent.EG,243.
DOES THE EAGLE REALLY LOOK LIKE AN EAGLE?
MAN'S AWARENESS HAS THE PROBLEM OF TAKING SOMETHING
INCOMPREHENSIBLE AND MAKING IT COMPREHENSIBLE The problem arises
with man's awareness; it is his awareness that becomes entangled
and confused... man's awareness is compelled to interpret. The
result is a vision of the Eagle and the Eagle's emanations. FFW,58.
It is called an Eagle because it is simply a case of something
unknowable vaguely resembling something known.. but that always
happens when impressionable people learn to perform acts that
require great sobriety FFW,58 ...but there is no Eagle and no
Eagle's emanations. What is out there is something that no living
creature can grasp. FFW,58.
WHAT IS THE EAGLE'S PURPOSE?
THE EAGLE'S PURPOSE IS TO CONSUME THE AWARENESS OF ALL
CREATURES
The Eagle is devouring the awareness of all the creatures that,
alive on earth a moment before and now dead, have floated to the
Eagle's beak, like a ceaseless swarm of fireflies, to meet their
owner, their reason for having had life. The Eagle disentangles
these tiny flames, lays them flat, as a tanner stretches out a
hide, and then consumes them; for awareness is the Eagle's food.
EG,173. (The Eagle) which makes organisms live by lending them
their awareness. That force also makes organisms die, in order to
extract the same lent awareness which organisms have enhanced
through their life experiences.. TAOD,149
CAN YOU PRAY OR ASK FAVORS FROM THE EAGLE?
THE EAGLE REFLECTS ALL THINGS EQUALLY AND CANNOT BE MOVED The
Eagle reflects equally and at once all those living things. There
is no way, therefore, for man to pray to the Eagle, to ask for
favors, to hope for grace. The human part of the Eagle is too
insignificant to move the whole. EG,173.
WHAT DOES THE EAGLE RESPOND TO?
Since the Eagle is made of energy, the Eagle only responds to
energy. For a creature to have an affect upon the Eagle that
creature must posess an excess of energy. See Intent.
HOW IS THE EAGLE'S ENERGY DISPERSED THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE?
The Eagle's energy is released as lines of energy. These energy
lines are known as the Eagle's emanations, lines of the world or
the Eagle's commands. To keep things simple, only the terms Eagle's
emanations or emanations will be used.
THE EAGLE'S EMANATIONS/LINES OF THE WORLD/EAGLE'S COMMANDS
WHAT ARE THE EAGLE'S EMANATIONS?
THE EAGLE'S EMANATIONS MAKE UP THE UNIVERSE
everything is made out of the Eagle's emanations. FFW,59 there
is no world of objects (existing by themselves and as themselves
just as we perceive them), but a universe of the Eagle's
emanations. FFW,49, FFW,126 the Eagle's emanations are an immutable
thing-initself, which engulfs everything that exists, the knowable
and the unknowable FFW, 57
THE EAGLE'S EMANATIONS ARE AN INFINITE NUMBER OF ENERGY FIELDS
RESEMBLING THREADS OF LIGHTS THAT HAVE AWARENESS AND ARE ETERNAL
the universe is an infinite agglomeration of energy fields,
(Eagle's emanations) resembling threads of light. POS,13 there are
an infinite numbers of lines that joined us to things...,JTI,193
the Eagle's emanations are more than filaments of light.. each one
of them is a source of boundless energy.. FFW,67 what's really out
there are the Eagle's emanations, fluid, forever in motion, and yet
unchanged, eternal. FFW,54 light that was alive and resemble
ordinary light but ordinary light has no awareness.. POS,112 the
filaments are aware of themselves, alive and vibrating, that there
are so many of them that numbers have no meaning and that each of
them is an eternity in itself. FFW,63 ..Essence of the universe
resembles incandescent threads streched into infinity in every
conceivable direction, luminous filaments that are conscious of
themselves in ways impossible for the human mind to comprehend. ,
TAOD, 5..
The Eagle's emanations are an infinite amount of lines of energy
emitting from the Eagle (source of all the energy in the universe)
which cover the entire universe. These eternal threads of light are
alive and aware, making up everything in the universe.
WHY ARE THE EAGLE'S EMANATIONS ALSO CALLED THE EAGLE'S
COMMANDS?
THE EAGLE'S EMANATIONS ARE ALSO CALLED THE EAGLE'S COMMANDS THAT
NO ONE CAN DISOBEY Eagle's commands ....although DJ disliked
calling the emanations commands, that is what they are: commands
that no one can disobey. FFW,92 Seers who see the Eagle's
emanations often call them commands. FFW,59...
WHAT DO THE EAGLE'S EMANATIONS LOOK LIKE?
THERE IS NO TRUE VERSION OF THE EAGLE'S EMANATIONS there is no
pat version of the emanation , as there is of the Eagle.
FFW,62...
THERE IS NO WAY TO DESCRIBE WHAT THE EAGLE'S EMANATIONS ARE THEY
MUST BE WITNESSED AS THE EAGLE WAS WITNESSED there is no way to
describe what the Eagle's emanations really are... a seer must
witness them , FFW, 57 ...emanations are something
indescribable..FFW,63 One can catch a glimpse of them, as one can
only catch a glimpse of the Eagle itself... , FFW, 57
DESCRIPTION OF THE EAGLE'S EMANATIONS (Description of EG,243.)
they are a prescence, almost a mass of sorts, a pressure that
creates a dazzling sensation. FFW, 57 I saw the lines of the world.
I actually perceived the most extraordinary profusion of
fluorescent white lines which crisscrossed everything around me.
,JTI,252...filaments of light began to radiate from everything on
that prairie. At first it was like the explosion of an infinite
number of short fibers, then the fibers became long threadlike
strands of luminosity bundled together into beams of vibrating
light that reached infinity. There was really no way for me to make
sense of what I was seeing, or to describe it, except as filaments
of vibrating light. The filaments were not intermingled or
entwined. Although they sprang, and continued to spring, in every
direction, each one seperate, and yet all of them were inextricably
bundled together...I was seeing the Eagle's emanations POS,110 and
the force that keeps them apart and bundles them together...what he
had seen was intent, the force permeates everything. POS,110 almost
instantaneously I saw a most brilliant array of live, compelling
fibers of light. FFW,240 I thought I must have fainted or that the
blow had made me fall asleep. Suddenly, I was looking at something
literally beyond words. Bright strings of light shot out from
everywhere, going everywhere, strings of light which were like
nothing that had ever entered my thoughts. ...I made your
assemblage point shift...and for an instant you were dreaming the
filaments of the universe., TAOD, 16
HOW ARE THE EAGLE'S EMANATIONS ARRANGED IN THE UNIVERSE?
THE EMANATIONS ARE GROUPED IN CLUSTERS CALLED THE GREAT BAND OF
EMANATIONS the Eagle's emanations are always grouped in clusters
..the old seers called those clusters the great bands of
emanations. FFW,176.
THE GREAT BAND OF EMANATIONS
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE GREAT BANDS?
THE GREAT BANDS ARE CLUSTERED IN NO REAL ORDER, LIKE A PILE OF
HAY HELD IN MIDAIR. The great bands are neither flat nor round, but
indescribably clustered together, like a pile of hay, which is held
together in midair by the force of the hand that pitched it. Thus,
there is no real order to the emanations; to say that there is a
central part or that there are edges is misleading, but necessary
to understanding. FFW,180
ARE THEY REALLY BANDS?
THEY AREN'T REALLY BANDS BUT THE NAME STUCK They aren't really
bands but the name stuck. FFW,176.
HOW MANY GREAT BANDS ARE THERE IN THE UNIVERSE?
THERE ARE AN INFINITY OF GREAT BANDS IN THE UNIVERSE There are
an infinity of great bands, FFW,177
THERE ARE 48 GREAT BANDS IN THE EARTH, Seers have found
out..that in the earth there are only 48 such bands. There are 48
types of organizations on the earth, 48 types of clusters or
structures. Organic life is one of them. FFW,177
THE EARTH'S 48 GREAT BANDS OF EMANATIONS
WHAT DO THE EARTH'S 48 GREAT BANDS OF EMANATIONS PRODUCE?
Each of the earth's 48 great bands of emanations produces
numerous bubbles on each band. These bubbles are like containers
that are filled with a portion of the band's emanations. Each
bubble may represent the emanations or energy associated with a
living creature.
think of great bands as being like trees. All of them bear
fruit; they produce containers filled with emanations; yet only
eight of those trees bear edible fruit, that is, bubbles of
awareness. Seven have sour fruit, but edible nonetheless, and one
has the most juicy, lucious fruit there is. FFW,178..
HOW ARE THE EARTH'S 48 GREAT BANDS OF EMANATIONS DIVIDED?
The earth's 48 great bands are divided into three sections:
first, 40 bands that produce bubbles with emanations that produce
no energetic awareness, second, 7 bands called the inorganic being
band that produce bubbles that represent creatures called inorganic
beings, and finally, one band called the organic being band that
produces bubbles that represent creatures called organic
beings.
THE ORGANIC BEING BAND
WHAT DOES THE ORGANIC BEING BAND PRODUCE?
THE ORGANIC BEING CLUSTER PRODUCES ALL THE ORGANIC BEINGS There
is an immeasurable cluster that produces organic beings. FFW,177
organic beings belong to the great same band. FFW,177.
WHAT DOES THE ORGANIC BEING CLUSTER LOOK LIKE?
THE ORGANIC BAND IS FLUFFY,TRANSPARENT, WITH A PECULIAR ENERGY
the emanations of that organic band have a sort of fluffiness. They
are transparent and have a a unique light of their own, a peculiar
energy. They are aware, they jump. That's the reason why all
organic beings are filled with a peculiar consuming energy.
FFW,177
HOW ARE THE ORGANIC BEINGS ALIGNED ON THE BAND?
THE ORGANIC BEINGS ARE BUBBLES FORMED ON DIFFERENT PLACES ON THE
BAND: SOME IN THE CENTER AND SOME NEAR THE EDGES
Think of it as an enormously wide band of luminous filaments,
luminous strings with no end. Organic beings are bubbles that grow
around a group of luminous filaments. Imagine that in this band of
organic life some bubbles are formed around the luminous filaments
in the center of the band, others are formed close to the edges;
the band is wide enough to aomadate every kind of organic being
with room to spare. In such an arrangement, bubbles that are close
to the edges miss altogether the emanations that are in the center
of the band, which are shared only by the bubbles that are aligned
with the center. By the same token, bubbles in the center miss the
emanations from the edges. FFW,177.
THE INORGANIC BEING BAND
WHAT DO THE SEVEN INORGANIC BANDS PRODUCE?
THE INORGANIC CLUSTER PRODUCES ALL THE INORGANIC BEINGS The same
situation (as in the organic band) is prevalent in the inorganic
bands.The three bundles of awareness produce specific kinds of
inorganic beings in each of the seven great bands. FFW,180 The
seers counted 7 bands that produced inorganic bubbles of awareness.
FFW,177
THE OTHER 40 GREAT BANDS OF EMANATIONS FOR EARTH
WHAT ARE THE OTHER 40 GREAT BANDS LIKE?
THE OTHER 40 BANDS PRODUCE BUBBLES/VESSELS WITHOUT AWARENESS
There are 40 bands that produce bubbles without awareness those are
bands that generate only organization. FFW,177.. The product of the
other forty great bands is not awareness at all, but a
configuration of inanimate energy. (called vessels) ..vessels are
rigid recepticles that hold emanations without being fields of
energetic awareness. Their luminosity comes only from the energy of
the encased emanations. FFW,182
WHAT DO THESE OTHER 40 BANDS LOOK LIKE?
THEY ARE OPAQUE AND DARKER THAN THE BANDS WITH AWARENESS The
other bands are darker, but with a quality of opaqueness.
FFW,177..
WILL/INTENT
WHAT SUSTAINS OR CONTROLS THE EAGLE'S EMANATIONS?
WILL/INTENT IS THE FORCE THAT SUSTAINS OR CONTROLS THE EAGLE'S
EMANATIONS I was seeing the Eagle's emanations and the force that
keeps them apart and bundles them together...what he had seen was
intent, the force permeates everything..POS,110 ....the energy that
comes out of of the alignment of emanations. FFW,189... Intent is
the power that upholds the universe, It is a force that gives focus
to everything. It makes the world happen...TSC,40...it is what
makes the world... EG,148 it is present throughout everything there
is. FFW,98 Without intent there was nothing. EG,243... intent is
everywhere .. EG,148 ...underneath the dry leaves is the ground,
the enormous earth. intent is the principle underneath everything.
TSC,40. Will is a force which was the true link between men and the
world. SR,147
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WILL AND INTENT?
WILL IS THE IMPERSONAL FORCE OF EAGLE'S EMANATIONS AND INTENT IS
THE PERSONALIZED FORCE will is the impersonal force of alignment
which changes into intent, the personalized force, which is at the
service of each individual...FFW,237 ...intent is the purposeful
guiding of will. FFW,190 they realized that will was the force that
kept the Eagle's emanations separated and was not responsible for
our awareness, but also for everything in the universe. They saw
that this force had total consciousness and that it sprang from the
very fields of energy that made the universe. They decided then
that intent was a more appropriate name for it than will.
POS,113,114. ...the new seers took a close look and called it
will,the will of the Eagle's emanations or intent. FFW,98
...alignment is a unique force because it either helps the
assemblage point, or it keeps it glued to its customary
position....the aspect of alignment that keeps the assemblage point
stationary is will .... and the aspect that makes it shift is
intent. FFW,237.. That blackness, that silence, gives rise to the
intent to direct the second attention, to command it, to make it do
things. This is why it is called will. The intent and the effect
are will.. they are tied together. EG,143
Will and Intent are essentially the same thing. Will is used
when describing the force that is holding up the universe in an
objective manner and intent is used when that force changes
due to some personal interaction. However, will has also been
confusingly described as also a personalized power.
Will is something else, something very clear and powerful which
can direct our acts. Will is something a man uses.. to win a battle
which by all calculations, should lose. Will.. has to do with
astonishing feats that defy our common sense. It is kind of a
control over ourselves. Will is a power. And since it is a power it
has to be controlled and tuned and that takes time. SR,146. DJ said
that will can be described as the maxium control of the luminosity
of the body as a field of energy; or it can be described as a level
of proficiency, or a state of being that comes abruptly into the
daily life of a warrior at any given time. .EG,142. Will was
allegedly cultivated only by sorcerers. it came to the
practitioners veiled in mystery and purportedly gave them the
capacity to perform extraordinary acts. ,TOP,83. what a sorcerer
calls will is a power within ourselves. it is not a thought, or an
object, or a wish. SR,147 What you yourself call will is character
and strong disposition..what a sorcerer calls will is a force that
comes from within and attaches itself to the world out there.
SR,148Will is what can make you sueed when your thoughts tell you
that you're defeated. Will is what makes you invulnerable. Will is
what sends a sorcerer through a wall; through space; to the moon,
if he wants. SR,147.
Whatever term is used, the meaning is the same.. there is a
universal force which holds everything in place and that force can
be manipulated. However, for simplicity we will use the term which
involves personal interaction - intent.
WHAT IS INTENT?
INTENT IS AN ABSTRACT UNMEASUREABLE, INDESCRIBABLE, INDEFINABLE,
NEITHER GOOD NOR EVIL FORCE THAT YOU CANNOT SEE OR FEEL IT AND YET
IT EXISTS. Intent is .....an unmeasurable, prevailing (, POS, 28),
indescribable, indefinable (POS,235), ....something that cannot be
seen or felt, something that does not seem to exist but yet does.
POS,170.. ...intent has no desires of its own. EG,149. .....there
is no way of knowing what intent is. POS,134 it is an abstract
force, neither good nor evil... TSC,85 Everything in the world is a
force, a pull or a push. SRP,139... ....the force that changes and
reorders things or keeps them as they are (POS, 28,97) force in the
universe POS,10, blind, impersonal, ceaseless burst of energy that
makes us behave in the ways we do..FFW,189 ...made up of pure
energy.. POS,112 the nagual never ends..it has no
limits..,TOP,138 Will is a force, a power. SR,148. intend it
with your intent, which is the layer beneath your thoughts.
TSC,142
INTENT IS CONNECTED TO EVERYTHING that absolutely everything
that exists in the entire cosmos is attached to intent by a
connecting link. POS,10,22... people and all living creatures are
slaves of intent. We are in its clutches. It makes us do whatever
it wants. It makes us act in the world. It makes us die. EG,148
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT NAMES OF INTENT BESIDES WILL?
THE NAMES OF INTENT .....Intent which sorcerers call the spirit,
the abstract, the nagual.. POS, 28 .....the spirit is the force
that sustains the universe (POS,114) Don Juan had explained the
nagual to me as being the indescribable force, the source of
everything... the nagual is in everything. SRP,198 The nagual is
aware of everything...,TOP,129. there was only one thing which was
indispensable for anything we did. He called it the spirit. ,JTI,
the rolling force or the tumbling or circular force. FFW,241...the
tumbler is the force from the Eagle's emanations..FFW,241. The left
side, called the naugal, .states of heightened awareness, or the
site of the second attention. EG,163. ....will is such a complete
control of the second attention that it is called the other self.
EG,144..will belongs to the other self. EG,143.......Powers that
guide can be called...forces, spirits, airs, winds, or anything
like that. ,JTI,86. Since intent is the undescribable force of the
universe, it thus has many names. Everything is just an
interpretation of that force.
HOW DOES INTENT APPEAR TO PEOPLE?
INTENT MANIFESTS ITSELF DIFFERENTLY IN DIFFERENT THINGS it is an
all-encompassing force that manifests itself differently in
different things. TSC,83.
CAN INTENT COMMUNICATE WITH US?
YES, DIRECT CONTACT WITH INTENT IS CALLED SILENT KNOWLEDGE
silent knowledge.. this is direct contact with intent.
POS,115... Silent Knowledge has complete mastery, complete
knowledge of everything.. but it cannot think, therefore, it cannot
speak of what it knows..it is of course, intent- the spirit, the
abstract. , POS,155 Everything has a form... but besides the outer
shape, there is an inner awareness that rules things. This silent
awareness is the spirit. TSC,83. This energy communicates with us.
TSC,83.
ANOTHER NAME FOR SILENT KNOWLEDGE IS THE THIRD POINT silent
knowlege is the third point because in order to get to it one had
to pass the second point, the place of no pity. (ruthlessness)
POS,242
HOW DOES INTENT COMMUNICATE WITH US?
Voice of the spirit
WHAT IS THE VOICE OF THE SPIRIT?
THE VOICE OF THE SPIRIT IS MORE OF A FEELING The voice of the
spirit is an abstraction that has nothing to do with voices, and
yet we may at times hear voices...TSC,85 ...don't expect a shout
from the treetops... what we call the voice of the spirit is more
of a feeling. Or it can be an idea that suddenly pops into your
head. Sometimes it can be a longing to go somewhere vaguely
familiar, or a longing to do something also vaguely familiar.
TSC,84 If the spirit (intent) speaks to you, using its silent
words, you will certainly know immediately what the spirit is. ,
POS,51 .It was not a voice it was lots of voices. TSC,85. ....will
is very quiet, unnoticeable EG,143
HOW DO WE UNDERSTAND THE VOICE OF THE SPIRIT/INTENT?
INTENT CAN ONLY BE UNDERSTOOD THROUGH EXPERIENCE AND WE CAN ONLY
TALK ABOUT ITS EFFECTS. there is no way to talk about it except
metaphorically.. TSC,40 the nagual is only effect. ,TOP,138. in
order to talk about it we must borrow from the island of the
tonal(reason), therefore it is more convienient not to explain it
but simply recount its effects. ,TOP,129. silent knowledge can't be
reasoned out. It can only be experienced. POS,247 The left side is
perhaps comprehended, if comprehension is what takes place, with
the total body, thus its
resistence to conceptualization. EG,163.. By intending it, but
not with your thoughts.. Intent is so far away from thoughts that
we can't talk about it; we can't even feel it. But we can certainly
use it. TSC,142
DESCRIPTION OF EXPERIENCING THE VOICE OF THE SPIRIT ....
Taisha's experience description of.. (jumping and dancing to people
singing in the wind)..TSC,84... When I finally came to sit down
next to Clara, I was perspiring, but it was not a healthy physical
sweat, It was more like the cold sweat of exhaustion. TSC,84...
HOW CAN WE HEAR THE VOICE OF THE SPIRIT?
WHEN WE ARE ABSOLUTELY QUIET AND BALANCED The voice of the
spirit comes from nowhere.. it comes from the depth of silence,
from the realm of not-being. That voice can only be heard when we
are absolutely quiet and balanced. TSC,87.
INTENT ONLY RESPONDS TO POWER NOT PRAYER a force that has no
interest whatsoever in us, but that nevertheless responds to our
own power. Not to our prayers, mind you, but to our power. TSC,85
it is where power hovers, but that was only a way of alluding to
it. By reason of its effect, perhaps the nagual can be best
understood in terms of power. ,TOP,138. But the spirit is nobody's
guardian.. TSC,85
HOW DOES INTENT AFFECT US?
Intent is continously being produced from the Eagle's emanations
and is hitting us all the time. We are not aware that it is
constantly hitting us but it is the force that gives us both life
and eventually caries us to our death. That force is named the
rolling force.
ROLLING FORCE
WHAT IS THE ROLLING FORCE?
THE ROLLING FORCE IS THE INTENT FORCE FROM THE EAGLE'S
EMANATIONS THAT CONTROL ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE AND DEATH FOR THE
ORGANIC AND INORGANIC BEINGS The rolling force is an eternal line
of iridescent rings or balls of fire, that roll onto living beings
ceaselessly. FFW,243 The rolling force or balls of fire are
expression of a force that pertains to all details of life and
death. FFW,242. The rolling force is the means through which the
Eagle distributes life and awareness for safekeeping..but it is
also a force..that makes all living beings die. FFW,243
DEATH IS THE ROLLING FORCE. Death is the rolling force.
FFW,245.
WHAT MAKES UP THE ROLLING FORCE?
THE BALANCE BETWEEN THE TWO FORCES(TUMBLING AND CIRCULAR) IS A
DELICATE ONE The balance of the two forces in every living being is
a delicate one. FFW,248.
The tumbling force and the circular force.
TUMBLING FORCE
WHAT IS THE TUMBLING FORCE?
THE TUMBLING FORCE IS THE PART OF THE ROLLING FORCE THAT RELATES
TO DESTRUCTION AND DEATH the tumbling aspect of the RF relates
exclusively to destruction and death. FFW,247. a ceaseless force
that strikes us every instant of our lives. FFW,241.
CIRCULAR FORCE
WHAT IS THE CIRCULAR FORCE?
THE CIRCULAR FORCE IS THE PART OF THE ROLLING FORCE THAT
MAINTAINS LIFE AND AWARENESS, FULFILLMENT AND PURPOSE the circular
aspect.. is what maintains life and awareness, fulfillment and
purpose. FFW,247. it strikes all living beings ceaselessly, but for
a different purpose. It strikes them to give them strength,
direction, awareness; to give them life. FFW,248
WHY IS IT CALLED THE CIRCULAR FORCE?
THE CIRCULAR FORCE COMES IN RINGS, THREADLIKE LOOPS OF
IRIDESCENCE The reason they call it the circular force is that it
comes in rings, threadlike loops of iridescence - a very delicate
affair indeed... FFW,248
ARE THEY REALLY CIRCLES?
YOU ONLY SENSE THE FEELINGS OF RINGS WHICH FIT ALL ORGANIC AND
INORGANIC BEINGS There are no circles to speak of, just a circular
force..the feelings of rings..there are no different sizes either.
It's one indivisible force that fits all living beings, organic and
inorganic. FFW,248.
HOW DO THE TWO FORCES HIT US?
THE CIRCULAR FORCE HITS US JUST BEFORE THE TUMBLING FORCE The
new seers saw that both forces are fused but are not the same. the
circular force comes to us just before the tumbling force...they
are so close to each other that they seem the same. FFW,248.
B.) LUMINOUS BEINGS/ LUMINOUS EGGSWHAT ARE ALL LIVING CREATURES
REALLY?
ALL LIVING CREATURES ARE ENERGY BUBBLES MADE FROM THE EAGLE'S
EMANATIONS living creatures are really luminous beings that look
like bubbles of whitish light...sentient beings are minute bubbles
made out of those filaments, microscopic points of light, attached
to the infinite emanations... FFW,66,67 we are a feeling and that
what we call our body is a cluster of luminous fibers that have
awareness. TOP,94 (our energy body).. it is linked to some luminous
lines of energy crisscrossing the universe. TSC,138 The double is
nearly infinite.. for just as the physical is in communication with
other physical bodies, the double is in communication with the
universal life force. TSC,186 (the double) it is inherently the
energy of a luminous being, EG,23 Luminous Beings ...the energy
essence of human beings TAOD, 5 we are luminous beings. We are
perceivers. We are an awareness; we are not objects; we have
solidity. We are boundless. TOP,97. human beings are frail
creatures composed of many layers of luminosity SRP,253 DOES EVERY
CREATURE HAVE A BODY OF ENERGY? YES, EVERYTHING HAS A BODY OF
ENERGY Not only living beings but everything in our world glimmers
with an inner light of its own TAOD,175 All of us luminous beings
have a double. TOP,58..the double is oneself and cannot be faced in
any other way. the double is not a matter of personal
choice..TOP,58
It is not clear if inanimate objects have energy associated with
them. WHAT ARE SOME OTHER NAMES FOR THIS BODY OF ENERGY? luminous
egg, luminous ball (the egg)is our energy self (which is our
double). TAOD,11 ..cocoons and containers are fields of energetic
awareness. FFW,182 energy body, other, double, self, (the dreaming
body is known by different names FFW, 291) the energetic or
nonrational side, which sorcerers call the double TSC,xii The
ethereal body.TSC,114. The other is the self..the double is the
self TOP,46 Again, like the term intent, the energy body has many
names. The term luminous egg/ball is the energy body but is used as
the container of the energy body. WHAT EXACTLY IS THE ENERGY BODY?
PURE ENERGY Since it's pure energy, EG,23
THE ENERGY BODY IS PURE ENERGY SO HAS AN APPEARANCE BUT NO MASS
A ghostlike configuration made of pure energy....has only
appearance but no mass. EG,23
IT IS THE AWARENESS OF OURSELVES AS LUMINOUS BEINGS
As far as I know, the double is the awareness of our state as
luminous beings. TOP,60
THE DOUBLE BEGINS IN DREAMING, THE DOUBLE IS A DREAM ....the
double begins in dreaming..the double is a dream..TOP,64.
THE DOUBLE IS THE SORCERER HIMSELF, DEVELOPED THROUGH HIS
DREAMING. The double is the sorcerer himself, developed through his
dreaming. A double is an act of power to a sorcerer, but only a
tale of power to you. TOP,47. ...instead of eyes, the dreaming body
has just the glow of awareness (two points of intense amber
lights..FFW,197) FFW,199...in the case of Genaro, his double is
indistinguishable from the original. That's because his
impeccability as a warrior is supreme. TOP,48
A 3-D IMAGE OF THE BODY WHEN SECOND ATTENTION IS FIXED a
whitish, phantomlike emanation, which is projected by the fixation
of the second attention into a 3-D image of the body. EG,23....
A PERFECT REPLICA OF THE DREAMER'S BODY ...the double is a
perfect replica of the dreamer's body.(it looks exactly like
oneself. SRP,176) EG,23
IT WAS TWICE THE SIZE OF THE PERSON WHO HAD IT they had always
called that shape the double, because it was twice the size of the
person who had it. SRP,199.
IT WAS SHINY ..It was like you, but very shiny.(may refer to
Naugal) SRP,149
FOR A SORCERER THAT SEES THE DOUBLE IS BRIGHTER for a sorcerer
that sees the double is brighter. TOP,46.
NO WAY OF KNOWING BUT IT IS REAL
..there is no way of knowing what the other is made of..but it
is real..TOP,46 It is not a ghost, but as real as anything we deal
with in the world. EG,23
THE DOUBLE IS SOLID AND CORPOREAL..SOLIDITY, CORPOREALNESS ARE
MEMORIES. (the double is solid and corporeal)..solidity,
corporealness are memories. therefore, like everything else we feel
about the world, they are memories we accumulate. memories of the
description. You have the memory of my solidity, the same way you
have the memory of communicating through words. Thus, you talked
with a coyote and you feel me as being solid. TOP,51.
OTHER ALWAYS COME SHROUDED IN WIND Dreaming body or the other
(this term belongs to the old seers...it gives me a feeling of
darkness, of shadows...the other always comes shrouded in wind
FFW,291).... FFW,199
How the energy body is described depends on the sorcere's
interpretation.. in the end its just energy. DOES OUR ENERGY BODY
BELONG TO THE PHYSICAL BODY? THE ENERGY BODY IS THE COUNTERPART TO
THE PHYSICAL BODY Energy body...it's the counterpart of the
physical body. EG,23 The soft body is a mass of energy...we are
aware of only its hard, outer casing.TSC,133 The double. The
counterpart of the physical body, which by know you must know.. is
not merely a projection of the mind. TSC,114. . ...the double is
our energy source. The physical body is merely the receptacle where
that energy has been placed. TSC,237. the double is both inside and
outside the physical body... at the same time... TSC, 159.
WHAT IS THE REAL DIVISION IN HUMANS?
THE REAL DIVISION IS BETWEEN THE PHYSICAL BODY WHICH HOUSES THE
MIND AND THE ENERGY BODY WHICH HOUSES OUR ENERGY The body-mind
dualism is a false dichotomy. The real division is between the
physical body, which houses the mind, and the ethereal body or the
double which houses our energy. TSC,62. but our division is not
between the mind and the body, but between the body, which houses
the mind or the self, and the double, which is the receptacle of
our basic energy. TSC,43 Human beings are divided in two.
EG,163.... all the faculties, possibilities, and accomplishments of
sorcery, from the simplest to the most astounding, are in the human
body itself. EG,163. The two sides of a human being are totally
seperate EG,228. The tonal
and the nagual are the two inherent parts of ourselves.. they
cannot be led into each other. TOP,244. WHAT SEPERATES THE PHYSICAL
BODY AND THE ENERGY BODY? THE TWO SIDES ARE SEPERATED BY A MEMBRANE
the membrane that seperates their two sides. EG,230 WHAT DOES OUR
ENERGY LOOK LIKE? OUR ENERGY WAVERS LIKE A HEAT WAVE, IT
SCINTILLATES . our energy wavers..TAOD,164...organic beings energy
are more like heat waves. FFW,121...our energy scintillates.
TAOD,175 WHAT DETERMINES THE LUMINOSITY OF A LIVING CREATURE? THE
LUMINOSITY IS DETERMINED BY THE PARTICULAR PORTION OF EMANATIONS
FOUND IN THAT PARTICULAR COCOON. the luminosity of living beings is
made by the particular portion of the Eagle's emanations they
happen to have inside their luminous cocoons. FFW,66,67
WE ARE LUMINOUS BECAUSE WE ARE PIECES OF THE SUN We are pieces
of the sun. (we are all like the sun, but very, very faint) That is
why we are luminous beings. But our eyes can't see that luminosity
because it is very faint. Our light is too weak, but it is light
anyway. SRP,123. ARE THE EMANATIONS INSIDE THE BUBBLES THE SAME AS
THE EAGLE'S EMANATIONS OUTSIDE? THE EMANATION PATTERNS ARE THE SAME
INSIDE AND OUT BUT SOME OF OUR EMANATIONS ARE LOCATED AS MUCH AS 3
FEET OUTSIDE THE PHYSICAL BODY. The emanations inside and the
emanations outside are the same filaments of light. FFW,66,67 Human
beings are also composed of an incalculable number of the same
threadlike energy fields.POS,13, FFW,62 some beams of light or
energy allegedly crisscross the earth... these beams do not
fluctuate as everything else in the universe does, but are fixed
into a pattern. This pattern coincides with hundreds of points in
the luminous body...since the luminous body is quite big, some of
the points are as much as three feet away from the physical body.
In a sense they are outside of us, and yet they are not; they are
on the periphery of our luminosity and thus still belong to the
total body. EG,196. WHAT DO YOU CALL THE EMANATIONS OUTSIDE THE
PHYSICAL BODY BUT STILL WITHIN THE COCOON?
THE EMANATIONS INSIDE THE COCOON BUT LOCATED OUTSIDE THE
PHYSICAL BODY IS CALLED THE ETHEREAL NET The ethereal net is the
luminosity that surrounds the physical body... TSC,134 WHAT DO YOU
CALL THE EMANATIONS OUTSIDE THE COCOON? WE CALL THE EMANATIONS
OUTSIDE THE COCOON, THE EMANATIONS AT LARGE ...emanations at
large.. are called this because they are immense. FFW,225.. The
emanations outside the cocoon.. are called emanations at large.
FFW,141
WHAT SHAPE DO THE EMANATIONS FORM? THE EMANATIONS AGGLOMERATE
INTO A GIANT LUMINOUS EGG These Eagle's emanations form an encased
agglomeration that manifests itself as a ball of light the size of
a person's body with the arms extended laterally, like a giant
luminous egg. POS,13, FFW,62 ..human beings were, for those who
saw, luminous beings composed of something like fibers of light,
which rotated from the front to the back and maintained the
appearance of an egg. SR,106 ..men are fibers of light.. like white
cobwebs. Very fine threads that circulate from the head to the
navel. Thus a man looks like an egg of circulating fibers. And his
arms and legs are like luminous bristles, bursting out in all
directions. SR,23 When you see them, they seem to have fibers, but
those fibers are really like layers, like an onion. EG,45 WHAT DO
SORCERER'S EGGS LOOK LIKE? SORCERERS HAVE EGGS SHAPED LIKE
TOMBSTONES Average human beings are like eggs... sorcerers are like
tombstones; only we are round at both ends. SRP,210. WERE OUR
LUMINOUS SHAPES ALWAYS SHAPED LIKE AN EGG? THE LUMINOUS SHAPE KEEPS
CHANGING THROUGHOUT TIME, OUR SHAPES TODAY ARE REALLY MORE LIKE A
BALL AND THE EGG SHAPE IS REALLY ASSOCIATED WITH PEOPLE OF ANCIENT
TIMES. Don Juan had the impression that our energy shape keeps on
changing through time. He said that every seer he knew, himself
included, saw that human beings are shaped more like balls or even
tombstones than eggs. But, once in awhile, and for no reason known
to them sorcerers see a person whose energy is shaped like an egg.
Don Juan suggested that people who are egglike in shape today are
more akin to people of ancient times. TAOD,5 WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF
THE LUMINOUS EGG? THE EGG IS A CONTAINER THAT HOLDS OUR ENERGY
BODY
...the egglike shape is an external cocoon, a shell of
luminosity that houses a most intriguing, haunting, mesmeric core
made up of concentric circles of yellowish luminosity, the color of
a candle's flame.... .EG,220.... the egg shaped shells were
actually dull. the luminosity emanated from a brilliant core; the
shell in fact dulled its radiance. EG,220... WHAT ARE SOME
CHACTERISTICS OF THE LUMINOUS EGG? THE EGG IS MUCH BIGGER THAN THE
HUMAN BODY, 7 FT HIGH BY 4 FT WIDE ...much bigger than the human
body TAOD, 5... they were enormous, perhaps seven feet high by four
feet wide or even larger. EG,41
THE EGGS HAVE A CERTAIN CONSISTENCY (DESCRIPTION OF) ...
Consistency of luminous egg.. description. SRP,79,80,82 Zuleica
ordered me to massage that place, to manipulate it by moving the
fingers of both my hands right on that point as if I were playing a
harp. She assured me that sooner or later I would end up feeling my
fingers going through something as thick as water, and that finally
I would feel my luminous shell. EG,253.
THE LUMINOUS EGGS ARE BRIGHT BLOBS OF LIGHT, VIBRANT AND FILLED
WITH WHITENESS ....bright shapes that resemble giant eggs (a field
of energy.) FFW, 115 The ones without spots... were dazzling
bright... They were vibrant, filled with energy and whiteness.
EG,45The double is white, yellowish white, like the sun. SRP,123
.....a blob of light FFW,270 ..the dreaming body is really just a
blob of light. FFW,198
LUMINOUS EGGS HAVE SETS OF LONG FIBERS COMING FROM THE NAVEL
AREA The most astonishing part of the egg-like creatures was a set
of long fibers that came out of the area around the navel; those
fibers were of the uttermost importance in the life of a man.
SR,106 Then I realized that the energy to move them had come from a
sticklike protuberance that acted upon them as a tentacle. It was
balanced at the midpoint of my body.EG,155. everyman is in touch
with everything else, not through his hands, though, but through a
bunch of long fibers that shoot out from the center of his abdomen.
SR,23 They are the tentacles that come out of a man's body which
are apparent to any sorcerer who sees. SR,106.
THE EGGS SHOW EVERYTHING WE FEEL OR ARE IN IT'S FIBERS IN AREAS
OF BRIGHTNESS ..we are luminous beings and everything we are or
everything we feel shows in our fibers.. indications in the
luminous fibers, areas of brightness. TOP,30.
HUMAN LUMINOUS EGGS HAVE A BRIGHTNESS PECULIAR TO THEM ONLY
Humans have a brightness peculiar only to them. That's the only way
to tell them apart from other luminous living beings. TOP,30. ARE
MEN AND WOMEN'S EGGS DIFFERENT? YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BY THE
SHAPE OF SOME FILAMENTS CALLED ROOTS Our visions differed in that
she could distinguish men from women by the shape of some filaments
that she called roots. EG,46
WOMEN HAVE THICK FILAMENTS GROWING INWARD FROM THE GENITALIA
THAT ARE USED TO NOURISH THE EMBRYO Women.. had thick bundles of
filaments that resembled a lion's tail; they grew inward from the
place of the genitalia....those roots were the givers of life.
EG,46
MEN HAVE SHORT FILAMENTS THAT ARE FLOATING ALMOST SEPARATELY
FROM THEIR LUMINOUS EGG Men.. had short filaments that were alive
and floating almost seperately from the luminous mass of their
bodies. EG,46.
WHAT CAUSES THE INTENSE SHINE IN THE LUMINOUS EGG? The
assemblage point WHAT IS THE ASSEMBLAGE POINT? THE ASSEMBLAGE POINT
IS A DOT WITH AN INTENSE SHINE IN THE LUMINOUS EGG. Assemblage
point...a round spot of intense brilliance, TAOD,7, POS,13 a dot
with an intense shine, on the glow of awareness; FFW,239 HOW BIG IS
IT? IT IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A TENNIS BALL the size of a tennis
ball, TAOD,7, POS,13 WHERE IS THE ASSEMBLAGE POINT ON THE LUMINOUS
BODY LOCATED? IT IS LOCATED PERMANANTLY INSIDE THE LUMINOUS BALL,
FLUSH WITH ITS SURFACE, HIGH ON THE GLOW OF AWARENESS
the AP is not in the physical body but in the luminous shell, in
the cocoon itself. FFW,127......it has nothing to do with (the
physical body )..but it is part of the luminous egg. TAOD,11
permanently lodged inside the luminous ball, flush with its
surface, TAOD,7, POS,13...it is high on the glow of
awareness...almost on the crest, on the surface of the cocoon..
FFW,239 WHERE IS THE ASSEMBLAGE POINT ON THE PHYSICAL BODY LOCATED?
IT IS LOCATED ABOUT 2 FEET BACK FROM THE CREST OF A PERSON'S RIGHT
SHOULDER about two feet back from the crest of a person's right
shoulder blade.... TAOD,7, POS,13 WHAT IS THE ASSEMBLAGE POINT'S
PURPOSE? THE ASSEMBLAGE POINT MAKES US PERCEIVE/IT IS THE MARK OF
LIFE AND CONSCIOUSNESS BECAUSE DEAD PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ONE ...it
makes us perceive...perception is assembled there, on that
point...all living beings have such a point of brilliance, TAOD,7,
POS,13, FFW,136......there is no trace of an assemblage point on a
dead being, because the assemblage point and its surrounding glow
are the mark of life and consciousness. ..the glow is extremely dim
in people who have been rendered unconscious or are about to die
and it is totally absent in corpses. WHAT IS THE GLOW OF
AWARENESS/MAN'S BAND OF AWARENESS? THE GLOW OF AWARENESS ALWAYS
SURROUNDS THE ASSEMBLAGE POINT INTENSIFYING THE AMBER LUMINOSITY OF
THE EMANATIONS PASSING THROUGH THE GLOW. (the glow of awareness)
always surrounds it(the assemblage point), greatly intensifying the
luminosity of the filaments passing directly through that glow.
TAOD,7. (the glow of) awareness is a glow in the cocoon of living
beings... man's awareness is a glow of amber luminosity more
intense than the rest of the cocoon.. FFW, 67,68 " called man's
band of awareness" FFW,239 WHAT DOES THE GLOW OF AWARENESS LOOK
LIKE? IT IS A SPHERICAL GLOW SLIGHTLY BIGGER THAN THE ASSEMBLAGE
POINT Glow of awareness.. a spherical glow, slightly bigger than
the assemblage point, TAOD,7
THE GLOW HAS MANY DIFFERENT SHADES OF AMBER ..the glow of
awareness has different colors..they are not colors but different
casts of amber. FFW,179 WHERE IS IT LOCATED?
THE GLOW IS LOCATED ON A NARROW VERTICAL BAND ON THE EXTREME
RIGHT SIDE OF THE SURFACE OF THE COCOON, RUNNING ITS ENTIRE LENGTH
OR IT IS ALWAYS WHERE THE ASSEMBLAGE POINT IS. The glow is on a
narrow vertical band on the extreme right side of the cocoon,
running along its entire length. FFW, 67,68... ...normally the glow
of awareness is seen on the surface of the cocoon of all sentient
beings. FFW,130 ...the glow of awareness is always present wherever
the assemblage point is, perception is automatically assembled
there. TAOD,8 WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE EGG'S LONG FIBERS THAT
COME OUT FROM THE NAVEL ARE? THE FIBERS DO NOT PROTECT YOU BUT
INSTEAD THEY GUIDE YOUR NAGUAL'S PERCEPTION LIKE THE WAY YOUR EYES
GUIDE THE TONAL'S PERCEPTION I had long, powerful fibers, which
were not there to protect me, for there was nothing to protect, or
to be protected from, but that they were there to guide my nagual's
perception in very much the same way my eyes guided my normal
tonal's perception. TOP,250 I had three thick tentacles in my
midsection which I could use as crutches to lift up my whole body.
EG,260. the will was a force that emanated from the umbilical
region through an unseen opening below the navel, an opening he had
called the gap. TOP,82..... it comes out through the belly, (navel
area) where the luminous fibers are. One can feel it coming out
(from the belly) SR,148 The energy needed in order to move and seek
in dreaming stems from the area an inch or two below the belly
button. He called that energy will, or the power to select, to
assemble. EG,136.
WITH THE FIBERS YOU CAN PERCEIVE EVERYTHING AT ONCE They told me
that my fibers were all around me, that through them I could
perceive everything at once, and that one single fiber was enough
for a leap from the rock into the ravine, or up from the rock to
the ravine. ..TOP,250
THE FIBERS JOIN A MAN TO HIS SURROUNDINGS AND KEEP HIM BALANCED
AND STABLE These fibers join a man to his surroundings; they keep
his balance; they give him stability. SR,23.
THE FIBERS ARE NOT LIKE TOUCHING, IT IS SORT OF LIKE A FEELING.
La Gorda signaled me to use my midsection. When I did that I did
not have to bend over to touch the ground; there was something in
me like a tentacle which I could feel. But I could not tell what I
was feeling. There were no particular tactile qualities on which to
base distinctions. EG,161.
THE FIBERS FEEL LIKE A LONG ITCHING a most peculiar sensation of
a long itching...TOP,250
WHAT KIND OF FIBERS DO PEOPLE HAVE?
WEAK PEOPLE HAVE SHORT, ALMOST INVISIBLE FIBERS Weak persons
have very short, almost invisible fibers; SR,106.
STRONG PEOPLE HAVE BRIGHT LONG FIBERS strong persons have
bright, long ones SR,106 WHAT CAN YOU TELL ABOUT SOMEONE FROM THEIR
FIBERS? WHEN A SORCERER SEES SOMEONE'S FIBERS THEY CAN TELL IF A
PERSON IS SICK OR HEALTHY, BAD OR GOOD OR CAN SEE AND CAN DEAL WITH
THEM ACCORDINGLY Sorcerers act toward people in accordance to the
way they see their tentacles. SR,106 ..you can tell from the fibers
if a person is healthy, or if he is sick or if he is mean, or kind,
or treacherous. You can also tell from the fibers if a person can
see. SR,106. Had I known (CC) what was going to take place, my
fibers would have been agitated and would have interfered with DG.
SR,107. HOW DO THE EGGS MOVE? THE EGGS MOVE IN A UNPLEASANT,JERKY
FLOATING MANNER LEAVING A DEEP FURROW IN THE ENERGY IN THE EARTH
....giant,luminous shape that floats, making, as it moves, a deep
furrow in the energy of the earth, just as if the luminous shape
had a taproot that was dragging. TAOD,5 the luminous eggs did not
walk. They moved in a floating manner, yet they were grounded. The
way they moved was not pleasing. Their movements were stilted,
wooden, and jerky. When they were in motion the whole egg shape
became smaller and rounder; they seemed to jump or jerk, or shake
up and down with great speed. The result was a most annoying
nervous shivering. EG,44. DOES THE EGG HAS ANY WEAKNESSES? THE EGG
HAS A GAP IN ITS COCOON JUST BELOW HIS NAVEL
Man has a gap below his navel. It's not really below the navel
itself, but in his cocoon, at the height of his navel. The gap is
more like a dent, a natural flaw in the otherwise smooth cocoon.
FFW,245. It is at the place of your luminous fibers (at your
abdominal area) SR,147 WHAT IS THE LUMINOUS GAP'S PURPOSE? EVERY
LIVING CREATURE HAS A GAP, WITHOUT A GAP, YOU WOULD NEVER DIE.
Every living being has a gap. If it didn't have one it wouldn't
die. FFW,246
THE GAP IS AN OPENING WHICH ALLOWS OUR WILL TO SHOOT OUT it's an
opening. it allows a space for the will to shoot out like an arrow.
SR,147.
WHEN DOES THIS GAP OPEN? THE GAP OPENS AS ONE DEVELOPS ONE'S
WILL There is a gap in us; like the soft spot on the head of a
child which closes with age, this gap opens as one develops one's
will. SR,147 ARE ALL GAPS THE SAME? EACH GAP IS DIFFERENT IN SIZE
AND CONFIGURATION The gaps are different, however, in size and
configuration. FFW,246
MAN'S GAP IS A BOWL-LIKE DEPRESSION THE SIZE OF A FIST Man's gap
is a bowl-like depression the size of a fist, a very frail
vulnerable configuration. FFW,246.
OTHER ORGANIC BEINGS GAPS ARE SIMILAR TO MAN'S GAP BUT SOME ARE
WEAKER AND SOME ARE STRONGER the gaps of other organic beings are
very much like man's; some are stronger than ours and others are
weaker. FFW,246
HOW DOES THE EGG PROTECT ITSELF FROM THE ROLLING FORCE? THE EGG
HAS A PROTECTIVE SHIELD IN FRONT TO PROTECT US FROM THE TUMBLERS
CALLED THR FRONT PLATE
..the front of the egglike cocoon of man has a protective
shield, which seers call the front plate. FFW,240
WHAT IS THE FRONT PLATE? THE FRONT PLATE IS AN ALMOST
IMPREGNABLE SHIELD ONE FIFTH THE THICKNESS OF THE TOTAL COCOON It
is almost impregnable, unyielding shield that protects us against
the onslaught of a peculiar force (death force)..FFW,238. The front
plate is about one-fifth the thickness of the total cocoon.
FFW,240...
HOW DO PEOPLE SEE THE LUMINOUS EGGS? THE LUMINOSITY OF A HUMAN
CAN ALMOST BE SEEN THROUGH LOOKING BUT THE ONLY TRUE WAY IS BY THE
SORCERER'S SEEING Man's luminosity can be seen almost as if one
were using the eyes alone. FFW,141 ...seers see them (assemblage
and glow) without their eyes. TAOD, 7
DESCRIPTION OF SEEING A LUMINOUS EGG: CC SEES DJ AND DG AS TWO
BALLS OF FIRE WITH FIBERS As I kept staring at them, my eyes went
involuntarily out of focus. I knew I had definitly crossed them,
because I was seeing four of them. the left eye image of DJ became
superimposed on the right eye image of don Genaro; the result of
the merger was that I saw an iridescent being standing in between
don Juan and don Genaro....it was not a man as I ordinarily see
men. It was rather a ball of white fire; something like fibers of
light covered it. ...I was seeing two strange elongated luminous
objects. They looked like white iridescent footballs with fibers,
fibers that had a light of their own. TOP,217
ANALOGY OF THE LUMINOUS BALL: A BALL OF JACK CHEESE The luminous
shape of man is like a ball of jack cheese with a thick disk of
darker cheese injected into it. He drew an egglike shape and
divided it in four longitudinal sections, saying that he would
immediately erase the division lines because he had drawn them only
to give me an idea where the band was located in the cocoon of man.
He then drew a thick band at the line between the first and second
sections and erased the division lines. He explained that the band
was like a disk of chedder cheese that had been inserted into the
ball of jack cheese. Now if that ball of jack cheese were
transparent.. you would have a perfect replica of man's cocoon. The
chedder cheese goes all the way inside the ball of jack cheese.
It's a disk that goes from the surface on one side to the surface
of the other side. The AP of man is
located high up, three-fourths of the way toward the top of the
egg on the surface of the cocoon. FFW,140.
HOW IS THE DOUBLE DIVIDED/HOW DOES THE ENERGY CIRCULATE IN THE
ENERGY BODY?
THE DOUBLE IS DIVIDED INTO A LOWER (ABDOMEN) AND AN UPPER
SECTION (CHEST) WHERE TWO DIFFERENT CURRENTS OF ENERGY CIRCULATE He
picked up a twig and drew an oval shape on the soft ground. Then he
added a horizontal line that transected it midway. pointing to the
two partitions...he explained that the double is divided into a
lower and an upper section, which corresponds roughly in the
physical body to the abdomen and chest cavities. Two different
currents of energy circulate in these two sections. TSC,235 WHEN
THESE TWO SECTIONS BECOME SEPARATED IN THE DOUBLE WE BECOME
UNBALANCED Usually, in life, these two energies become seperated in
the double, causing weaknesses and unbalance in the physical body.
TSC,236
THE DOUBLE IS ALSO DIVIDED INTO LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES WHERE TWO
DIFFERENT PATTERNS OF ENERGY CIRCULATE He drew another line, this
time down the center of the elliptical shape, dividing it
lengthwise into two, which, he stated, corresponds to the right and
left sides of the body. These two sides also have two specific
patterns of energy circulation. TSC,236
LOWER SECTION
LOWER SECTION CIRCULATES ORIGINAL ENERGY WE HAD WHILE STILL IN
THE WOMB In the lower one circulates the original energy we had
while still in the womb. TSC,235
THE ORIGINAL ENERGY SINKS DOWN TO THE GENTIAL AREA The original
energy sinks down into the genital area. TSC,236
UPPER SECTION
THE UPPER SECTION CIRCULATES THOUGHT ENERGY WHICH ENTERS OUR
BODY WITH THE FIRST BREATH In the upper section circulates the
thought energy. This energy enters the body at birth with the first
breath. TSC,235
THOUGHT ENERGY IS ENHANCED BY EXPERIENCE AND RISES UPWARD INTO
THE HEAD ...he said that thought energy is enhanced by experience
and rises upward into the head. TSC,235
RIGHT SECTION
ON THE RIGHT SIDE THE ENERGY CIRCULATES UP ON THE FRONT PART OF
THE DOUBLE AND DOWN THE BACK SIDE OF IT In the right side, energy
circulates up on the frontal part of the double, and down on the
back of it. TSC,236
LEFT SECTION
ON THE LEFT SIDE THE ENERGY CIRCULATES DOWN ON THE FRONT PART OF
THE DOUBLE AND UP THE BACK SIDE OF IT On the left side, energy
circulates down on the frontal part of the double and up on the
back. TSC,236
HOW DOES THE DOUBLE PERCEIVE? THE DOUBLE HAS AN INDEPENDENT
PERCEPTION/IT DEALS WITH ENERGY .....its perception, although
affected by our normal way of perceiving the daily world, is an
independent perception. It has its own sphere...that sphere is
energy...it deals with the energy in terms of energy. CC TAOD,
31,32 HOW DOES THE DOUBLE PERCEIVE ENERGY IN DREAMING? THERE ARE
THREE WAYS IT DEALS WITH ENERGY IN DREAMING:
There are three ways it deals with energy in dreaming: CC TAOD,
31,32
ONE: IT CAN PERCEIVE ENERGY AS IT FLOWS it can perceive energy
as it flows, or it can use energy to boost itself like a rocket
into unexpected areas, (it can use currents of energy that exist in
the universe to propel itself. All it has to do is isolate them,
and off it goes with them.) CC TAOD, 31,32
TWO: IT CAN PERCEIVE AS WE ORDINARILY PERCEIVE THE WORLD or it
can perceive as we ordinarily perceive the world. (It sees energy
directly as a light or as a vibrating current of sorts or as a
disturbnce. CC TAOD, 31,32
THIRD: IT FEELS ENERGY AS A JOLT OR AS A SENSATION THAT CAN EVEN
BE PAIN Or it feels it directly as a jolt or as a sensation that
can even be pain.) CC TAOD, 31,32...
WHAT THINGS CAN PERCEIVE THE DOUBLE? ANIMALS AND INFANTS CAN
PERCEIVE THE DOUBLE Animals and infants have no problem perceiving
the double and they are often disturbed by it. TSC,219. WHAT CAN
THE DOUBLE DO? IT CAN PERFORM ACTS BEYOND THE POSSIBILITY OF THE
PHYSICAL BODY Since it's pure energy, EG,23 it can perform acts
that are beyond the possibility of the physical body EG,23
IT HAS INCONCEIVABLE POWER (when the double emerges) ..one is
capable of performing inconceivable feats. TSC,237. The double has
inconceivable power. TOP,77
IT COULD TURN INTO ANYTHING YOU WANT/OR DO ANYTHING He said I
must struggle to fall asleep; that I no longer had a body and was
free to turn into anything I wanted. TDJ,136 (The double can do)..
anything we want it to do; it can jump over trees or fly through
the air or become large or small or take the shape of an animal. Or
it can
become aware of people's thoughts or become a thought and hurl
itself in an instant over vast distances...it can even act like the
self... if you know how to use it, you can appear in front of
someone and talk to him as if you really there. TSC,136
IT COULD TRANSPORT ITSELF IN ONE INSTANT TO THE ENDS OF THE
UNIVERSE .....it can transport itself in one instant to the ends of
the universe (the journey of the energy body depends exclusively on
the position of the assemblage point TAOD,171) EG,23 ..the dreaming
body is a surge of energy that is transported by the movement of
the AP to any place in this world, or to any place in the seven
worlds available to man. FFW,199.
THE DOUBLE CAN GAZE AT THE EAGLE The dreaming body is very
strong.. it is very easy for the DB to gaze at the Eagle's
emanations interruptedly for long periods of time, but it is also
very easy in the end for the DB to be totally consumed by them.
FFW,200.
THE DOUBLE CANNOT EAT OR DRINK The dreaming body cannot handle
the intent of eating or drinking. EG,145. (DG trying to eat desc.
TOP,47)...The dreaming body has a different intent from the intent
of the physical body. EG,146 Example of .EG,146.
IT CAN DO ANYTHING, YET IT CHOOSES TO BE UNOBTRUSIVE AND GENTLE
it can do anything and yet it chooses to unobtusive and gentle.
TOP,60
THE DOUBLE NEVER MAKES MISTAKES OR MISINTERPRETS THINGS/ALWAYS
DIRECT AND TO THE POINT You said it to my double just a moment ago.
my double never ever makes mistakes or misinterprets things.
TSC,218. It's your double that's talking. It's always direct and to
the point and since you have never allowed it expression, it is
full of hatred and bitterness. TSC,222
THE ENERGY BODY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR WELL BEING he said that
perhaps our greatest human fallacy is to believe that our health
and well-being is in the realm of the body when, in essence, the
control of our lives is in the realm of the double. TSC,236 This
fallacy stems from the fact that the body controls our awareness.
TSC,236
WHAT IS THE PHYSICAL BODY? THE PHYSICAL BODY IS JUST A COVERING
OR A CONTAINER FOR OUR ENERGY BODY. The physical body is a
covering, a container if you will. TSC,133
THE BODY IS DIVIDED INTO THREE MAIN CHAMBERS OF ENERGY: ABDOMEN,
CHEST AND HEAD she went on to explain that the body is divided into
three main chambers of energy: the abdomen, chest and head. She
touched my stomach just below the navel, then my solar plexus and
then the center of my forehead. She explained that these three
points are the key centers of the three chambers. TSC,71.
THE EXACT MIDPOINT OF THE BODY (WHICH YOU SHOULD MEASURE) IS A
TRUE CENTER OF ENERGY IN ALL OF US DJ had insisted that I measure
my body to the hundredth of an inch and establish its exact
midpoint, lengthwise as well as width. He had always said that such
a point is a true center of energy in all of us. FFW,125
THERE IS A DELICATE GLOW AROUND THE STOMACH AND IS ALWAYS BEING
PULLED AROUND BY EVERYTHING Human beings had a very delicate glow
around the stomach and that glow was always being pulled by
everything around.
THE FEELINGS/WORLD WERE CREATED FROM THE STOMACH What was in
front of my eyes was rather like a feeling or a mood; and the
center from where all those changes radiated was definitely in my
stomach. I
