warrior learns to be aware of it, that's all. There are seemingly
insurmountable barriers protecting that awareness. But that's expected.
Those barriers are what makes arriving at that awareness such a unique

"Genaro is a man of knowledge. The purest of them all. His actions are
impeccable. He's beyond ordinary men; and beyond sorcerers. His double
is an expression of his joy and his humor.
As far as I know, the double is the awareness of our state as luminous
beings. It can do anything, and yet it chooses to be unobtrusive and
gentle."
"the double begins in dreaming."
I like this, thanks. Looks like I may have caught it before it disappeared though!
