Is Don Juan Real or did Castaneda make him up?

The best "I" can do is be quiet and ready and expectant to receive what comes. This is something the judging mind can be terrified by! I think that relates to the waiting you spoke of.
yes Smile
Silvio recently mentioned the flyer. I did not look at the flyer all that much. Still, I feel that working on things the way one should slowly takes care of the flyer aspect. Here one could say that judging, the way it is practiced by muggles, is the domain of the flyer. I see it very visibly when a person makes a judgment, their body and well what to call it whole feeling around their persona shifts. These acts of judgments close doors, the way I was talking about making or not making judgment opens them. Of course the muggle way also sharpens and that can be good for cutting a path in front of the person. A sorcerer has sharpness in attention we don't need judgment to do it for us. 
Interesting is that I just now stopped writing because I am writing things I didn't expect (and that I haven't said or thought before) and I'm wondering if I'm making sense haha.

I read it with complete concentration and I understood what you were conveying without you giving specific practical examples, which is definitely outside the norm for me and I also got a visual impression that I understood without words. Not that what I expressed earlier wasn't true, but this is much truer ;-)
Interesting, because I usually gives concrete examples but here I felt like I should not (that it is not needed, though it was strange to talk about something without saying what exactly - I'm all for practical examples in general hehe). But I felt it might actually help to do it that way, because you won't focus in the same way (instead of zooming in on the example youd have to see more of the periphery too, which shows more things). Thnx for the feedback Smile.
