Perspective

[dreamways]

Here is another important quote I would like to add to what I was saying earlier:



"The nature of the Bodhisattva is apparent from a teaching story in which three people are walking through a desert. Parched and thirsty, they spy a
high wall ahead. They approach and circumnavigate it, but it has no entrance or doorway.




One climbs upon the shoulders of the others, looks inside, yells "Eureka" and jumps inside.




The second then climbs up and repeats the actions of the first.




The third laboriously climbs the wall without assistance and sees a lush garden inside the wall. It has cooling water, trees, fruit, etc. But, instead of
jumping into the garden, the third person jumps back out into the desert and seeks out desert wanderers to tell them about the garden and how to find it.




The third person is the Bodhisattva."
My question is, where is the Bodhisattva of the nagual's freedom? Where is the person who actually found that freedom and has come back to
show us the way? Don Juan didn't do that. Castaneda didn't do that. Nobody in their lineage did it. But they did do something, especially the old
sorcerers, they had a concrete goal and qualified teachers that are still available. Just something to think about.
