1. "There is one last issue related to that world that we haven't discussed. In the final analysis my aversion to the old sorcerers' activities is
very personal. As a nagual, I detest what they did."
The reason Don Juan took it "personally" as a nagual, is because the old sorcerers were his peers, other naguals.
2. " They cowardly sought refuge in the inorganic beings' world."
This is indicates something extremely bad about inorganic beings, but he doesn't say what it is.
3. "They argued that in a predatorial universe, poised to rip us apart, the only possible haven for us is in that realm. They believed that because
it's true. Since the inorganic beings can't lie, the sales pitch of the dreaming emissary is all true. That world can give us shelter and prolong our
awareness for nearly an eternity."
More importantly, the inorganic beings would have to be the greatest power in the entire "predatorial universe" in order to insure a safe
haven to anyone.
4. "When the emissary's sales pitch, even if it's the truth, has no appeal to you, and you are ready to chance a road that might rip you apart,
you will be ready for this one final statement about that world."
Don Juan still doesn't say what's wrong with the inorganic beings.
5. "The most dreadful statement I can make.
Obviously, what's so dreadful about it is self-incriminating, otherwise he would say what it was.
6. "The energy necessary to move the assemblage points of sorcerers comes from the realm of inorganic beings. This is the truth and the legacy of the old
sorcerers to us."
So that would make sorcery an inorganic path.
7. "The inorganic beings have us pinned down to this day. This is the reason I don't like them. I resent having to dip into one source alone.
Personally, I refuse to do it. And I am trying to steer you away from it."
Apparently, praying to God doesn't work for sorcerers.
8. "We can't have dealings with them. And yet we can't stay away from them."
The being that makes sorcerers, what is it?
9. "My solution has been to take their energy but not give into their influence. This is known as the ultimate stalking."
It would be great if he actually spelled out what is so bad about their influence.
10. "It is done by sustaining the unbending intent of freedom, even though no sorcerer knows what freedom really is."
Don't know, or don't want to know?
11. "The reason sorcerers have to take energy from the realm of inorganic beings is because there is no other viable energy for sorcerers."
Without the inorganic beings there is no game.
12. "In order to maneuver the assemblage point in the manner they do, sorcerers need an inordinate amount of energy."
Fortunately, inorganic beings provide an inordinate amount of energy to them.
13. "As I've said, a redeployment of energy is necessary in order to do dreaming . To start dreaming sorcerers need to redefine their premises and
save their energy, but that redefining is valid only to have the necessary energy to set up dreaming."
The true power of sorcerers is inorganic.
14. "To fly into other realms, to see energy, to forge the energy body, et cetera, et cetera, is another matter. For those maneuvers, sorcerers need loads
of dark, alien energy."
Forging the energy body is an inorganic accomplishment.
15. "They take it from the inorganic beings' world by the mere act of going to that world."
Home sweet home.
16. "All the sorcerers of our line have to do this."
The same "line" as the old sorcerers who went there first.
--Don Juan Matus, from The Art of Dreaming
