"One of the first concerns of warriors is to free that energy in order to face the unknown with it," don Juan went on. "The action of rechanneling that energy is impeccability." He said that the most effective strategy was worked out by the seers of the Conquest- the unquestionable masters of stalking. It consists of six elements that interplay with one another. Five of them are called the attributes of warriorship: control, discipline, forbearance, timing, and will. They pertain to the world of the warrior who is fighting to lose self-importance. The sixth element, which is perhaps the most important of all, pertains to the outside world and is called the petty tyrant. He looked at me as if silently asking me whether or not I had understood. "I'm really mystified," I said. "You keep on saying that la Gorda is the petty tyrant of my life. Just what is a petty tyrant?" "A petty tyrant is a tormentor," he replied. "Someone who either holds the power of life and death over warriors, or simply annoys them to distraction." Don Juan had a beaming smile as he spoke to me. He said that the new seers developed their own classification of petty tyrants. Although the concept is one of their most serious and important findings, the new seers had a sense of humor about it. He assured me that there was a tinge of malicious humor in every one of their classifications because humor was the only means of counteracting the compulsion of human awareness to take inventories and to make cumbersome classifications. The new seers, in accordance with their practice, saw fit to head their classification with the primal source of energy- the one and only ruler in the universe- and they called it simply 'the tyrant'. The rest of the despots and authoritarians were found to be, naturally, infinitely below the category of the tyrant. Compared to the source of everything, the most fearsome and tyrannical men are buffoons. Consequently, they were classified as petty tyrants, pinches tiranos. He said that there were two subclasses of minor petty tyrants. The first subclass consisted of the petty tyrants who persecute and inflict misery but without actually causing anybody's death. They were called little petty tyrants, pinches tiranitos. The second consisted of the petty tyrants who are only exasperating and bothersome to no end. They were called small-fry petty tyrants, repinches tiranitos, or teensy-weensy petty tyrants, pinches tiranitos chiquititos. I thought his classifications were ludicrous. I was sure that he was improvising the Spanish terms. I asked him if that was so. "Not at all," he replied with an amused expression. "The new seers were great ones for classifications. Genaro is doubtless one of the greatest. If you'd observe him carefully, you'd realize exactly how the new seers feel about their classifications." He laughed uproariously at my confusion when I asked him if he was pulling my leg. "I wouldn't dream of doing that," he said, smiling. "Genaro may do that, but not I, especially when I know how you feel about classifications. It's just that the new seers were terribly irreverent." He added that the little petty tyrants are further divided into four categories: one that torments with brutality and violence, another that does it by creating unbearable apprehension through deviousness, another which oppresses with sadness, and the last which torments by making warriors rage. "La Gorda is in a class of her own," he added. "She is an acting, small-fry petty tyrant. She annoys you to pieces and makes you rage. She even slaps you. With all that she is teaching you detachment." "That's not possible!" I protested. "You haven't yet put together all the ingredients of the new seers' strategy," he said. "Once you do that, you'll know how efficient and clever is the device of using a petty tyrant. I would certainly say that the strategy not only gets rid of self-importance, it also prepares warriors for the final realization that impeccability is the only thing that counts in the path of knowledge." He said that what the new seers had in mind was a deadly maneuver in which the petty tyrant is like a mountain peak and the attributes of warriorship are like climbers who meet at the summit. "Usually, only four attributes are played," he went on. "The fifth, will, is always saved for an ultimate confrontation when warriors are facing the firing squad, so to speak." "Why is it done that way?" "Because will belongs to another sphere, the 'unknown'. The other four belong to the 'known'; which is exactly where the petty tyrants are lodged. In fact, what turns human beings into petty tyrants is precisely the obsessive manipulation of the known." MY COMMENT: This concept of using the petty tyrants in our lives in order to advance us in Spiritual Power is amazingly useful when properly adapted. In my view the Ultimate Tyrant is the force behind this Western human culture that has numbed people to the fact that the Earth is a Living, Sentient Being. The Tyrant numbs people to this truth and is intent on raping the Earth to death for the sake of financial profit. Everywhere you go supposedly "normal" people are a part of the machinery of this invisible 'beast'. We are all made guilty and as one advances in the Spirit of the Intent of the Universe of course you will find yourself rubbing against the invisible beast of this Earth raping system. This is most clear to me when I come back from a power spot in a deep waking trance state. I am very rudely awakened by the system and it can extremely difficult for me to do things in the world before I allow myself to readjust to this unnatural way of existence. So, to me, an Earth raping and destroying society is filled with petty tyrants that I can use to better myself through stalking. The average person complains while the true warrior strives to use EVERYTHING and EVERYONE to his or her advantage. I am still learning, but I am always on the alert when I deal with humanity and strive to be ready to use ANY petty tyrant who crosses my path to my overall advantage. I'm sure YOU must realize that, to me, this is a forum full of petty tyrants. Very petty indeed, but I am grateful that I am USING YOU to my advantage whether you realize it or not and for this, as don Juan would, I thank you ((( THE NATURE OF REALITY ))) - Guest - 10-26-2011 Reality of Nature = !! Nature is very ruthless, even cruel. Part of Nature just doesn't give a ***, (death for seal, lunch for shark) But I dont think thats the whole story. There is a Spirit behind or within Nature, and the spiritual nature of that Spirit, the essence of it, I believe, is Love. And humans are a key. To one that may mean nothing, to another, something; to me, it means there is an Intelligence and Wisdom beyond Nature...

Or maybe it was boring. The idea that you can have anything you want if only you imagine it. I mean everyone wants a million dollars because they can imagine what its like, and the people that wrote the book are probably having their dreams come true but the people paying arent, money is a limited resource, its not possible for everyone to be a millionaire so why sell gullible people the idea? To make a lot of money deluding people obviously. Its the exact opposite of losing the ego, its playing on peoples greed. Fair enough but I certainly wont be practicing what they suggest as I dont want to become like them. But as I said I forget and I will check your youtube video and get back when mummy and daddy let me post again tomorrow. In other words you could not list the three main points from The Secret you disagree with to save your miserable life. You losers are filled with excuses why you can't be successful in life. That's just the way losers are! Lots of excuses and if they can't find any they make excuses up like you are attempting to do with The Secret I don't want a million-dollars The messages from Mother Nature are getting stronger that money is soon to become worthless My whole intent is focused on attracting the healing energy of the ENTIRE UNIVERSE through my being and into my beloved Mother Earth. She needs all the healing She can get and I trust that the more I strive to heal my beloved Mother Earth the more She will bless my life to overflowing with all that I really need. TO ENERGYLOVER ((( THE NATURE OF REALITY ))) - Guest - 10-26-2011 But the minds of greater spiritual illumination should be patient with, and tolerant of, those less endowed intellects that crave symbolism for the mobilization of their feeble spiritual insight. The strong must not look with disdain upon the weak. Those who are God-conscious without symbolism must not deny the grace-ministry of the symbol to those who find it difficult to worship Deity and to revere truth, beauty, and goodness without form and ritual. In prayerful worship, most mortals envision some symbol of the object-goal of their devotions. Urantia 91:5.7 ((( THE NATURE OF REALITY ))) - BarefootInTheSand - 10-26-2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovEDhFfgdOo ((( THE NATURE OF REALITY ))) - Genardo Sacateca - 10-27-2011 MY INTERNET PETTY TYRANT SAID: "That depends. What are you actually doing in the real world to 'heal the earth'? I can guarantee your 'dreams' aren't going to do a thing by themselves." MY RESPONSE: You are absolutely correct. I have to go with what empirically works and build upon that. I have had about a 98% success rate with healing worker bees that have fallen into the ocean. My success has been so empirically guaranteed that one of Mother Nature's nicknames for me is: The Bee Master Just yesterday a worker bee was on the ground in front of my house. I could tell by the way it was walking that it was injured. I casually put my hand down offering my fingers for it to walk on. As usual. at first the little bee didn't trust me. Then I could feel the Spirit of Mother Nature assuring the little bee that it had nothing to worry about and that I was there to help. The bee then walked onto my hand and I began the ritual of having it walking along the tips of my fingers. I have been so empirically successful with this method that I take it for granted. The bee walks along my fingertips as I continue to put one hands in front of the other so that the little bee continues to have fingertips to walk along. While this is happening I envision tremendous healing energy pouring through my fingertips into the little bee and focus my Intent with increasingly single-minded concentration. The bee walks faster and faster and faster until it has absorbed enough healing energy and then flies away. I've done this so many times in my life that I have hardly given it a second thought until now. Mother Nature says that I am like an electric guitar which is only as loud as the amplifier it is plugged into. If my Intent is plugged into the amplifier of the Entire Universe there is no telling just what I can accomplish through my consciousness... ...If the Spirit of Intent decides to honor my borderline obsessive desire to heal my beloved planet Earth. There's the 'rub' What YOU people may think of this is completely irrelevant. YOUR agreements or lack of faith have nothing whatsoever to do with my success or lack thereof. I have recently passed a very important test. I chose to devote myself to the manifestation of the dream over the sexual option that was offered to me. Mother Nature is proud of me and is determined that I should be successful in the manifestation of all my good and wonderful dreams. This is all that truly matters. What small-fry, faithless petty tyrants think of this is completely irrelevant. The truth is your opinions are worth less than the dung I flush and that is a fact. However, I love the thought if being successful just to prove you wrong. Yes, it does indeed help me to develop a borderline obsession with the focusing of my Intent. For this I truly thank you! ((( THE NATURE OF REALITY ))) - Sacateca.sorcery - 10-27-2011 IT GOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS The Spirit of Intent is the source from which all things manifest. It is beyond all names, forms and limitation. It is beyond any concept that humans have tried to pin on it. It exists in a realm beyond opposites. It is not "alive" because it cannot "die" and is intricately involved in the healing of everything it creates. Whenever ANYTHING heals Intent is the force that causes the healing. Then we have the Spirit of Mother Nature, which spans all the galaxies in the entire Universe. It is indeed alive and can die and is responsible for the manifestation of all life in the Universe. Then we have the Spirit of the Earth. Just like the spirit of an individual being the Earth has a spirit and there is indeed a difference between the Spirit of Mother Nature and the spirit of the Earth. Then there are the Spiritual families of particular locations. Certain places on the Earth are supercharged with the life-force energy of the Earth. Some shamanistic cultures call those places "Power Spots" and they are indeed sacred sites. Different Power Spots have different personalities, but they are all a part of one big Universal Family of which mankind has been 'kicked out'. Thus the reason for mankind's wanton destruction of this beautiful planet. To the Spirit of Intent nothing really matters. All is made of pure thought and if this planet blows up it will be recycled. Nothing is wasted. So to get the Spirit of Intent to be especially concerned about this microscopic planet requires incredible gestures of largess. Offerings of gratitude and appreciation that radiate outward with incredibly powerful majestic force. Every wonderful thing I may receive MUST be paid for and the currency of the Spirit of Intent is...suffering. Suffering for what is good is the way the Spirit of Intent causes the determined warrior to earn his rank within the the Universal Force of Mother Nature. For the success of my Intent to heal worker bees I have been given what can be considered invisible medals. Supposedly, according to Mother Nature, I am like the equivalent of a five-star general in the military. The worker bees can see the medals given to me by the bees I have saved and that is why they listen to Mother Nature when She says that I can be trusted. I don't even want to think of how much more suffering I must endure before I can heal this planet. Chances are I won't be successful. My success is paramount to my enjoying my life to the fullest and yet...well...I guess I just have to learn how to enjoy suffering. Oh boy!

"Your power and achievement is “according to Her mercy, through the renewing of the Spirit.” (and Nature can be so beautiful) ((( THE NATURE OF REALITY ))) - scout1 - 10-27-2011 “ For don Juan Matus, a pragmatic and extremely sober shaman, ‘Spirituality’ was an empty ideality, an assertion without basis that we believe to be very beautiful because it is encrusted with literary concepts and poetic expressions, but which never go beyond that. Shamans like don Juan are essentially practical. For them there only exists a predatory universe in which intelligence or awareness is the product of life and death challenges. He considered himself a navigator of infinity and said that in order to navigate into the unknown like a shaman does, one needs unlimited pragmatism, boundless sobriety and guts of steel. In view of all this, don Juan believed that ‘Spirituality’ is simply a description of something impossible to achieve within the patterns of the world of everyday life, and it is not a real way of acting.” ((( THE NATURE OF REALITY ))) - Guest - 10-27-2011 Actually Nagualism itself is spirituality (religion even). Don Juan as he is written by Castaneda has his own personal spirituality evident in his terms such as the Eagle, Infinity, Spirit, the Dark Sea of Awareness etc, thats how he chose to name 'Deity' as he and his lineage experienced / conceptualized It. Its nice not to be bound by the definitions of others. I think what 'don Juan' was eluding to is the difference between the spirituality of direct experience versus a psuedo-spirituality based on fantasy~ or the difference between the religion of love/ personal revelation/spiritual experience and a religion of fear/tradition/bound by dogma- Again also I remind you 'don Juan' was not infallible and all his pronouncements should be questioned with a critical thinking approach rather than blindly believed or even 'worshipped'.
