That comment was almost as condescending as Ghost Dog's usually are. Do you believe this "dear" is "musing" about my double?
If you do, you're wrong. I'm deadly serious about it. It is an energetic fact and it has happened to me.
Don't worry, I'm just a warrior striving for formlessness and impeccability. I won't challenge the 'status' of any self-proclaimed nagual. I couldn't lead a gaggle of newly hatched geese, let alone a party of warriors...so I pose no threat.
The Double is real. It developes exactly as Castaneda reported it did. And it has happened to me.
The only aspect of it that I stand in disbelief of is that one can actually move one's physical body in that instant of 'here and here', like Don Juan and Genaro said. Yet one aspect of the double incident where the kids saw me walking to the barn, did hold an element that makes me think it could be done. Because when my daughter's friend walked into the room where I was gathering clothes, she did not see me, nor did I see her. It's a room that's 10'x10' with furniture around the walls and no obstructions to the door whatsoever. And yet just a second later I emerged with a pile of clothes in my arms that could only be found in the dresser of that room. So perhaps, for an instant I was actually physically outside walking to the barn?
It's a mystery; not a tale or fabrication to win powerful status or special consideration due to some alleged personality flaw on my behalf.
And now: back to your regularly scheduled (de)programming...
