Concerning what Da Pimp was speaking to, my take on these things.
There have been many questions about paranormal events. I have had a few. There was another of those cases in the news a few months ago, where an unsuspecting person, under stress, performed unimaginable acts to save a life (Lifting an auto off the victim). Unbending Intent was surely at play.
On one level, CC points out that modern culture has blocked our silent , magical , abilities. On another level, there are some , like with anything else, that have inborn talent (The 4 section luminous egg, perhaps?) , even in this world. And , such abilities can drive a person mad, unless they can identify what is happening, and learn the way to control and use it. For the most part, CC wrote that all people have some ability, likely most had it before the 'Rational' era, and had societies, as the Toltecs had, to focus these 'talents.
So, I had a lifelong, but secondary, nagging about these things. Castaneda's books helped me identify such events within myself. For instance, it is possible that, under stress, I shifted position such that I was no longer in view to others. I used to think that an act of God had favored me! I know better now.
Unfortunately, I am an unfinished one, as I starterd too late in a life filled with the usual mundane or material concerns. 15 years ago it was like Power acted upon me, and I have been on that path ever since, with expected pitfalls, of course.
So yeah, I resonate with Da Pimp here.
