DJ: The Power of Silence
At
various times don Juan attempted to name his knowledge for my benefit. He felt
that the most appropriate name was nagualism, but that the term was too
obscure. Calling it simply "knowledge" made it too vague, and to call
it "witchcraft" was debasing. "The mastery of intent" was
too abstract, and "the search for total freedom" too long and
metaphorical. Finally, because he was unable to find a more appropriate name,
he called it "sorcery," although he admitted it was not really
accurate.
(nemo) This is a lovely explanation by DJ and if you
take all the gaps between the words out and make it one word you have a clump of
info that is what I call sourcery, as to avoid the tendency of tonals to make
ism’s out of belief systems and then make it more important than an individuals
connection with its source.
Sorcery and Witchcraft have the same debasing angle
and virtually indistinguishable in my neck of the woods. If you say Nagualism when
someone asks what you are into, it’s still to obscure. So I say “Sorcery with a
u after the o” and then who I am speaking to gets it on some level. The mastery of Intent works for any religious types and New agers
Really Ravenmoon you had an idea of what the difference was when you asked the question, and with answers from others you can pit what you think against what comes up and see and where it stands. The same word means many different things to many different people, so awarenesses reading this thread will resonate towards the explanations that fit closest to their attention level. So the difference is in who's asking.
There are a few things missing in DJ's paragraph one is references to the double and dreaming and from the new age terminologies their references to frequency, help the understanding of how things can faze into and out of a bubble of perceptions perceptual field, from a more modern or scientific approach. Maybe sourcedialingism frequencism or my favourite freaqualism.
