The Origin of the Nagual

[Bob May]

"Juan Matus was my teacher..."


He was mine too if you count him. My first.




Problem is he doesn't count in the way I was using the term. I could only read what he wrote. I could not draw on his experience with questions about what
happened in my last meditation etc.




"I feel the same way about Castaneda."




Same there. He could not answer direct questions.




"I know it may sound odd but the best that I can describe my perception is when I reach states of heightened awareness I know what the playing
field..."




Whereas I changed my "playing field." Dreaming was not an option not having a teacher that put any stock in that method.




"..to further attain this awareness and I think that this is what D.J. referred to silent knowledge..."




And what mine referred to as "Wisdom" or "Knowing without having known." Same principle, different playing field, different source of
power.




"I keep trying to emphasize the need to change your perception.."




I have, many times and still do. Like I said different playing field. Though with my boys to the age where they are taking care of themselves I am putting more
time into medtation and trying some dreaming again out of curiosity having not gone too far in that direction previously.




"..you will be stuck with your narrow view that you cling onto.."




I feel the same about your path, but it's yours, not mine.




"..you may be suffering from mental masturbation syndrome.."




I hear that can cause mental blindness.
