"A male sorcerer who is the nagual perforce has to be fragmented
because of the bulk of his energetic mass. Each fragment lives a
specific range of a total scope of activity, and the events that he
experiences in each fragment have to be joined someday to give a
complete, conscious picture of everything that has taken place in his
total life.
That unification takes years to accomplish. I have been told of
cases of naguals who never reached the total scope of their
activities in a conscious manner and lived fragmented.
The world of sorcerers is not an immutable world, where the world
is final, unchanging, it's a world of eternal fluctuation where
nothing should be taken for granted.
How could all this be possible? Who are we really? Certainly not
the people all of us have been led to believe we are.
A sorcerer weeps when he is fragmented. When he's complete, he's
taken by a shiver that has the potential, because it is so intense,
of ending his life.
There is nothing to mourn, nothing to feel sad about. Nothing
matters. All of us are warrior-travelers,
and all of us have been swallowed by
infinity.
We are warrior-travelers. Only
energetic facts are meaningful for us. All
the rest are trimmings that have no importance at all.
Our normal cognition requires a linear explanation in order to be
satisfied, and linear explanations are not possible. That is the crux
of the interruption of continuity. That interruption is sorcerer. In
order for you to stay behind, you need all your strength, all your
forbearance, and above all, a warrior-traveler's
guts of steal."
