The traps of the Inorganic Beings

[Guest]

"The problem is that I can't talk about this part of your dreaming. You
are completely by yourself in this case. I have said to you that
inorganic beings are real. You are finding out how real they are. But
what you do with this finding is your business, yours alone. Someday
you'll see the reason for my staying away."

"I went through the same turmoil myself," don Juan went on, "and no
one could help me because this is a superpersonal and final decision; a
final decision made the instant you voice your desire to live in that
world. In order to get you to voice that desire, the inorganic beings
are going to cater to your most secret wishes."



"This is really diabolical, don Juan."



"You can say that again. But not just because of what you are
thinking. For you, the diabolical part is the temptation to give in,
especially when such great rewards are at stake. For me, the diabolical
nature of the inorganic beings' realm is that it might very well be the
only sanctuary dreamers have in a hostile universe."



"Is it really a haven for dreamers, don Juan?"



"It definitely is for some dreamers. Not for me. I don't need props
or railings. I know what I am. I am alone in a hostile universe, and I
have learned to say. So be it!"
