4. GAZING
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF GAZING?
GAZING IS A WAY TO GET US TO ENGAGE OUR SECOND ATTENTION
Gazing was the way to trap our second attention... dreamers have to be gazers before they can trap their second attention. SRP,257. The attention under the table is the key to everything sorcerers do..in order to reach that attention... they taught us dreaming and to teach us how to do dreaming, the Nagual taught us gazing. SRP,256.
THE OLD SORCERER'S COULD GET TO THEIR ENERGY BODIES BY SIMPLY GAZING AT OBJECTS THEY LIKED.
..gazing was the old sorcerers' technique. They were able to get to their energy bodies in the blink of an eye, simply by gazing at objects of their predilection (what they liked) TAOD,124
THE OLD SEERS DEVELOPED COMPLEX TECHNIQUES OF GAZING IN ORDER TO DESCEND INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE INORGANIC WORLDS. FFW,120
The old seers developed complex techniques of gazing in order to descend into the depths of the inorganic worlds. FFW,120
IN EL GORDA'S OPINION GAZING IS ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO REACH THE SECOND ATTENTION BECAUSE IT STOPS THE WORLD
Once you can stop the world you are a gazer. And since the only way of stopping the world is by trying, the Nagual made all of us gaze at dry leaves for years and years. I think its the best way to reach our second attention. (El Gorda's opinion) SRP,257.
THE DIFFICULTY IN GAZING IS TO LEARN TO QUIET DOWN THE THOUGHTS
The difficulty in gazing is to learn to quiet down the thoughts.... (leaf gazing was used because leaves are easy to get) but anything else would do the same job. SRP,257.
HE COMBINED GAZING AT DRY LEAVES AND LOOKING FOR OUR HANDS IN DREAMING. IT TOOK ME ABOUT A YEAR TO FIND MY HANDS, AND FOUR YEARS TO STOP THE WORLD.
He combined gazing at dry leaves and looking for our hands in dreaming. It took me about a year to find my hands, and four years to stop the world. SRP,258...
ONCE DREAMERS KNOW HOW TO STOP THE WORLD, THEY CAN GAZE AT OTHER THINGS; AND FINALLY WHEN THE DREAMERS LOSE THEIR FORM ALTOGETHER, THEY CAN GAZE AT ANYTHING.
Once dreamers know how to stop the world, they can gaze at other things; and finally when the dreamers lose their form altogether, they can gaze at anything. SRP,258.
THERE SHOULD ALWAYS BE SOMEONE AROUND YOU WHEN YOU GAZE
... for this reason there should always be someone around when you gaze. We never know about the quirks of our second attention. Since we have never used it, we have to become familiar with it before we could venture into gazing alone. SRP,257.
HOW LONG DO PEOPLE GAZE?
SOMETIMES FOR HOURS, SOMETIMES FOR DAYS
they used to sit... and stare in the distance with half-closed eyes for hours, sometimes for days. SRP,178. the Nagual used to make us sit by the door and gaze at those little round hills on the other side of the valley..sometimes we used to sit there for days until the crack would open. SRP,217.
HOW DO YOU GAZE?
POSITION OF THE BODY WHILE GAZING
the position of the body was of great importance while one was gazing. one had to sit on the ground on a soft mat of leaves, or on a cushion made out of natural fibers. (she came back with a small, thick, round cushion made out of the same natural fibre used in making nets.) The back had to be propped up against a tree, or a stump or a flat rock.(the Nagual had made me plant those thick poles so they could use them to prop themselves.) The body had to be thoroughly relaxed. SRP,263
HOW TO USE THE EYES WHILE GAZING
the eyes were never fixed on the object, in order to avoid tiring them. the gaze consisted in scanning very slowly the object gazed at, going counterclockwise but without moving the head. SRP,263
GAZE WITH YOUR EYES HALF-CLOSED AND BLINK THEM ALOT AND MOVE THEM FROM ONE THING TO ANOTHER
If you gaze with your eyes open, you get dizzy and the eyes get tired, but if you half-close them and blink alot and move them from mountain to mountain, or from cloud to cloud, you can look for hours, or days if necessary. SRP,217.
USING FLUFFY, COTTON BAGS TO GAZE IN THE DARK TO ACQUIRE A HUE
She made them undress and crawl inside thick fluffy cotton bags, some poncholike garments.. (she directed me to feel its fluffiness with my naked skin, especially with the skin of my calves.) covered them from neck to toes. She ordered them to sit back to back on a mat... and that their task was to gaze in the darkness until it began to acquire a hue. After many sessions, they indeed began to see colors in the darkness... EG,255.
DESCRIPTION OF GAZING AT TWO HILLS IN THE DISTANCE
she told me to keep my eyelids half closed and stare at the place where two enormous round hills converged.. that particular gazing consisted of four seperate actions. The first one was to use the brim of my hat as a visor to shade off the excessive glare from the sun and allow only a minimal amount of light to come to my eyes; then to half-close my eyelids; the third step was to sustain the opening of my eyelids in order to maintain a uniform flow of light; and the fourth step was to distinguish the water canyon in the background through the mesh of light fibers on my eyelashes. SRP,264.
She made me sit on the hard-packed ground with my back against a thick pole about one and a half feet high that looked like a tree stump which had been planted in the ground almost against the wall of the house. There was a row of five such poles planted about two feet apart. SRP,248. The sun was high on the horizon and I had to tilt my head back. I tipped my hat until I had blocked off most of the glare with the brim... as soon as I half closed my eyes, a bit of light appeared as if it were coming from the tip of my hat literally exploded on my eyelashes, which were acting as a fliter that created a web of light. I kept my eyelids closed and played with the web of light for a moment... SRP,264. ( seeing a dark spot in a canyon ex. of distance gazing).. SRP,265,265....also DJ activity of using a cloth in front of canyon for perceptual changes.) SRP,265.
DESCRIPTION OF GAZING
..in one instant I was drawn into a vortex-like sensation, extremely like the vortexes in my dreams...my dreaming attention was multisensorial..what had begun as gazing at the foilage of the mesquite tree had turned into a dream. TAOD,71,72 ..On the subjective level, however, I believed I was dreaming because I employed dreaming techniques to perceive energy. TAOD,79 Description of gazing at the lava mountains. JTI,201

TYPES OF GAZING
GAZING AT LEAVES
Gazing at leaves fortifies the second attention. If you gaze at a pile of leaves for hours, your thoughts get quiet. Without thoughts the attention of the tonal wanes and suddenly your second attention hooks on to the leaves and the leaves become second else. SRP,257 ..by staring at the foilage, I would accomplish a minute displacement of my assemblage point. Then, by summoning my dreaming attention through staring at individual leaves, I would actually fixate that minute displacement, and my cohesion would make me perceive in terms of the second attention. TAOD,71
Once you have trapped your second attention with dry leaves, you do gazing and dreaming to enlarge it. And that's all there is to gazing. SRP,258. The first thing the Nagual did was to put a dry leaf on the ground and made me look at it for hours. Everyday he brought a leaf and put it in front of me. At first I thought that it was the same leaf that he saved from day to day, but then I noticed that leaves are different. The Nagual said that when I realize that, we are not looking anymore but gazing. SRP,257. Then he put stacks of dry leaves in front of me. He told me to scramble them with my left hand and fell them as I gazed at them. A dreamer moves the leaves in spirals, gazes at them and then dreams of the designs that the leaves make. Dreamers can consider themselves as having leaf gazing when they dream the designs of the leaves first and then find those same designs the next day in their pile of dry leaves. SRP,257.
GAZING AT SMALL PLANTS
First we gazed at small plants... small plants are very dangerous. Their power is concentrated; they have a very intense light and they feel when dreamers are gazing at them; they immediately move their light and shoot it at the gazer. Dreamers have to choose one kind of plant to gaze at.SRP,258.
GAZING AT TREES
Next we gazed at trees. Dreamers also have a particular kind of tree to gaze at. ... both of us are eucalyptus gazers. SRP,258.
A GOOD TIME TO DO GAZING FOR TREE AND ROCKS: NOON WAS WHEN THEY WERE AT THEIR BEST
The time of the day was an important factor in tree and rock gazing. In the early morning, trees and rocks were stiff and their light was faint. Around noon was when they were at their best, and gazing at that time was done for borrowing their light and power. In the late afternoon and early evening, trees and rocks were quiet and sad, especially trees... La Gorda said at that hour trees gave the feeling that they were gazing back at the gazer. SRP,259,260.
description of gazing at leaves and rocks. EG,137
GAZING AT LIVING CREATURES
next we gazed at moving living creatures... small insects were by far the best subject. Their mobility made them innocuous to the gazer, the opposite of plants which drew their light directly from the earth. SRP,259
GAZING AT ROCKS
The next step was to gaze at rocks... rocks were very old and powerful and had a specific light which was rather greenish in contrast with the white light of plants and the yellowish light of mobile, living beings. Rocks did not open up easily to gazers, but it was worthwhile for gazers to persist because rocks had special secrets concealed in their core, secrets that could aid sorcerers in their dreaming.... when I gaze into the very core of a rock.. I always catch a whiff of a special scent proper to that rock. SRP,259.
GAZING AT RAIN AND FOG
A second series in the order of gazing was to gaze at cyclic phenomena: rain and fog. She said that gazers can focus their second attention on the rain itself and move with it, or focus it on the background and use the rain as a magnifying glass of sorts to reveal hidden features, Places of power or places to be avoided are found by gazing through rain. Places of power are yellowish and places to be avoided are green. SRP,260
..fog was unquestionably the most mysterious thing on earth for a gazer and that it could be used in the same two ways that rain was used.... but it did not easily yield to women.. the fog was used to uncover the ghosts of things that were no longer there and that the true feat of fog gazers was to let their second attention go into whatever their gazing as revealing to them. SRP,260.
GAZING AT DISTANCE OR CLOUDS
..another series was distance and cloud gazing. In both, the effort of the gazers was to let their second attention go to the place they were gazing at. Thus, they covered great distances or rode on clouds. in the case of cloud gazing, The nagual never permitted them to gaze at thunderheads. he told them that they had to be formless before they could attempt that feat, and that they could not only ride on a thunderhead, but on a thunderbolt itself. SRP,261.
GAZING AT FIRE AND SMOKE
The last series was fire, smoke and shadow gazing. She said that for a gazer, fire is not bright but black, and so is smoke. SRP,262 (looking at the fire for an ally)...I did not have to stare at the flames, that I should only watch in the direction of the fire. SR,231...
GAZING AT SHADOWS
Shadows.. are brilliant and have colour and movement in them. SRP,262. During the day the shadows are the doors of not-doing..but at night since very little doing prevails in the dark, everything is a shadow, including the allies. JTI,199 ..had me gaze at the shadows of leaves and plants and trees and rocks. The shadows in the early morning don't tell much. The shadows rest at that time. So it's useless to gaze very early in the day. Around six in the morning the shadows wake up, and they are best around five in the afternoon. Then they are fully awake. SRP,268... The shadows tell me everything I want to know. They tell me things because they have heat, or cold, or because they move, or because they have colors. (I learned what they mean) in my dreaming. Dreamers must gaze in order to do dreaming and then they must look for their dreams in their gazing. For example, The nagual made me gaze at the shadows of rocks, and then in my dreaming I found out that those shadows had light, so I looked for the light in the shadows from then on until I found it. Gazing and dreaming go together. It took me a lot of gazing at shadows to get my dreaming of shadows going. And then it took me a lot of dreaming and gazing to get the two together and really see in the shadows what I was seeing in my dreaming. SRP,269. Description of shadow gazing. TOP,88, JTI,180,181.
Shadows are like doors, the doors of not-doing. A man of knowledge, for example, can tell the innermost feelings of men by watching their shadows. JTI,195.... you may say that there is movement in them, or you may say that the lines of the world are shown in them, or you may say that feelings come from them..to believe that shadows are just shadows is doing...what makes them shadows is merely our doing. JTI,196.
He marked a spot for me to stand on and told me to look at the shadows of the peaks. He said that I should watch them and cross my eyes in the same manner I ordinarily crossed them when scanning the ground for a place to rest. He clarified his directions by saying that when searching for a resting place one had to look without focusing but in observing shadows one had to cross the eyes and yet keep a sharp image in focus. The idea was to let one shadow be superimposed on the other by crossing the eyes. He explained that through that process one could ascertain a certain feeling which emanated from shadows. JTI,196
I noticed that the act of looking without converging the images gave the single shadow I had formed an unbelievable depth and a sort of transparency. Then, for an instant, i lost the notion that I was looking at a rock. I felt that I was handing in a world, vast beyond anything I had ever conceived. JTI,197.
To see the movement of shadows means that you have obviously freed a huge portion of energy with your recapitulation. TSC,73.
To observe the boulder in order to know what the boulder is, is doing, but to observe its shadow is not-doing. JTI,195. I had correctly used the shadow of the rocks as a door into not-doing. JTI,198.

GAZING AT STARS
There were two more things that were kept seperate, star and water gazing. Stargazing was done by sorcerers who have lost their human form... SRP,262.
GAZING AT WATER
(water) especially running water, which was used by formless sorcerers to gather their second attention and transport it to any place they needed to go. All of us are terrified of water..a river gathers the second attention and takes it away and there is no way of stopping. SRP,262. Description of watergazing experience. TOP,87.. I was sound asleep; or perhaps I entered into a perceptual state for which I had no parallel. the closest way of describing it would be to say that I went to sleep and had a portentous dream. TOP,87. He told me not to gaze into the water, but to focus my eyes on the surface and keep them fixed until the water turned into a green fog. Look at the water in front of you..but don't let its sound carry you anywhere. If you let the sound of the water carry you I may never be able to find you and bring you back. SR,171 The foglike phenomenon was composed of tiny bubbles, round objects that came into my field of vision and moved out of it with a floating quality. SR,172. DJ ordered me again to gaze only at the water and not think at all. He said it was difficult to stare at the moving water and that one had to keep on trying. Description of bubbles SR,163,164. He said that anyone can perceive the green fog because it was like the guardian, something that was unavoidably there, so there
was no great accomplishment in perceiving it. SR,168. At first the water had a bright green halo, or fluorescence, which soon dissolved, leaving only a stream of ordinary water. TDJ,166
