Rosy,
Your posts are surprisingly very insightful. Surprising because other posts you've made I've struggled to fully grasp. Yes, I too think Serloco likes to embellish and change roles. It would explain how he transitions from one role to a contradictory role. Makes sense. I really enjoy what you have to say about the Nagual and even within a our folly are reflections of the Nagual.
Interesting too what you've mentioned about death being the end of friendships mixed with curses. I've known one or two who are careful to control their anger, as it has led to death in the past.
Even more interesting is the amount of mental illness involved with the warriors path. Schizophrenia is common, sure. I read an interesting meme recently, something about how those who walk the warriors (or was it witches, not sure and it doesn't really matter), a majority of them develop a mental illness, others come to hate others on the same path, and only a few are blessed by the path. Blessed just meaning they find a way to use the path to enhance their lives. I find that to be generally true. To get really nerdy about it, there are studies (I can use citations if you want them, but for the sake of convenience, I won't list them) indicating lucid dreaming does not lead to mental illness for those who are not predisposed to it. However, lucid dreaming can induce mental illness for those who are predisposed to it. I mention this because lucid dreaming is related to many spiritual practices. Other studies talk about how easily mentally ill people fall into shamanic beliefs--the structure gives people an opportunity to continue experiencing their mental illness without it being seen as such.
Obviously not everyone who follows CC's beliefs (just an example) are mentally ill. It's just a very attractive environment for people with mental illness. Obviously there are people who are not mentally ill, but those are rare to find in places like this.
I've seen Serloco be very patient, welcoming, and helpful. I realize he's not as bitter or 'evil' as he presents himself as. We are all very versatile around here. What I think happened was he just stressed from his tonal. Happens to us all, we get stressed from the tonal and our patience naturally wanes. It was bad timing, I think.
On a separate note, I think certain people should be cursed (rather, tortured or killed). Those are generally people who commit numerous heinous crimes.
Really insightful points, I enjoyed thinking about them.
