Quote:Losing the human form is like a spiral. It gives a warrior the freedom to remember himself as straight fields of energy and this in turn makes him even freer.
- Carlos Castaneda
For the seers of don Juan's lineage, the universe is 'alive' - it's a feeling, a vibration, a flux, a flow; it's defined by energy first, matter second; it's a reversing and ever-changing continuum capable of being perceived by loosening the grip of the human form.
For those seers, the human form is only one of a myriad of accessible perceptual currents, in this case the current of 'me' - that assembly of stories and habits that made us the person we believe ourselves to be; that which keeps us locked in a singular, monochromatic view.
For shamans, reaching towards a fuller range of human possibilities lay in a recapitulation or detailed review of the body and being itself - clearing memories and feelings held in our physical tissue and its corresponding energetic filaments.--------------------
Give me Freedom or give me Death
