Can we all perhaps agree that words are only attempts at a description, and mean nothing of themselves. A series of grunts & clicks to which we have assigned meaning. So what?
NLW has posted some of his story, and kudos to him for doing so. In this cyberworld where every movement and every nuance must seemingly be analyzed to death, it's no wonder that genuine naguals, nahuals, nahuatls, witches, warriors, sorcerers, brujos, dreamers, stalkers, seekers, teachers, apprentices, gurus, mentors, benefactors and all the other beings living behind those wordy descriptions have all but vanished, leaving only the don Juannabes and other pseudo-beings hiding behind avatars and false identities ad nauseam *ahem*. So... if Wolf has the courage to put himself and his story out there, more power to him, and why do we care WHAT he calls himself? Does it matter? Really? If he called himself a Chevy or a monkey wrench, would it make any difference?
What matters is not the words but the worlds behind the words. We can argue about the labels, which is what the foreign installation aims for (distraction, dissipation, diversion), or we can boldly go beyond the descriptions and enter the experience. I, for one, am weary of the nit-picking, so I'll direct my next question to NLW in the hopes of redirecting this conversation.
Wolf... since the subject was raised about the energy compartments of a nagual-being, I'm curious as to your experience in this regard. I feel I was simply born this way. What about you? And even if one is born this way, what do you perceive that might mean, if anything? Do you see it as just a fluke of nature, just as some are born with blue eyes and others with brown? Is it the result of some quantum time entanglement wherein the double comes into this life with us when we are born? I'd be interested in your perspective on this. What MADE you a nagual/double-being?
Thanks,
QS
