A reply thread does not likely does not belong here , but I am interested in a discussion of the works of authors Anne Rice ( especilly Lasher and the Mayfair witches) and Andre Norton. Both, and there are others, reflect the Castaneda narrative of the Nagual, Second Attention, Magic, whatever we call it. Of note, I find Rice's work about Jesus to be provacative, as well.
Hello Lonewolf,
I was thinking of posting in the 'Introductions' thread as you have recently requested.
Before I do, however, I need your observation.
I have come to see the Nagual consciousness as a similar, and perhaps a better, description of what we call the Occult, or better, a description of what is generally known to the world as Parapsychology. Sorcery can be called Witchcraft. Some have Powers, some don't. Many of us deny or are confused by our 'Powers'. Others can be harmed or destroyed by same. There are other 'beings' that share the world with humanity, and are, perhaps, derived from humanity. Ghosts, spirits, angels, demons. We here sum them up as Inorganic Beings, the Foreign Installation is one of them.
Am I fairly on target? Is this what the teachings are about, the Second Attention?
Any observations on the non-Vampire (and non-Christian) works of Anne Rice? Her stories seem to resonate with my experience, limited as it is.
On target would be a good response Hawkeye. Sorcery is the heart of all teachings from Christian to Hindu to Nagualism.

It's a long confusing path. We choose heart or death. We deny or accept powers, eh? And we lose what we don't use!

It is believed to gain power one must use power. Using power attracts power. Storing power short term is advised, the fi will eat your power if it can.
