"It seems you are thinking that the assemblage point fits inside your inventory of reasonable
things, but that's not so. Don't see it as a solid object or as another part of your body. We don't
have an assemblage point, we are it!
"While a warrior is imprisoned within the limits of the human form, the furthest place he can
transfer his assemblage point is to an area of interpretive vacuum, which new seers call
'limbo'. That is a real space on the frontier of the other world, a transition area on the
periphery of the other attention.
"These movements accumulate and serve to condense our personal power, until they finally
crystallize in a kind of luminous matrix that Don Juan called 'the dreaming positions'.
Through exploration of those positions, the individual experience of a sorcerer leaves the
human groove and becomes practically limitless.
"The movement of the assemblage point is not just propelled by an interest in accessing
astonishing visions, but is above all directed by the fact that each controlled displacement
liberates enormous quantities of energy. Ideally, the warrior applies his unbending intent and lights up his energy field as if he becomes one gigantic assemblage point, to witness everything once and for all.
In that case, the point shoots out and up, the traveler becomes a blast of light, and he never
recovers his form again. This is the greatest challenge, the union of our awareness with
infinity."
