"The energy of the Eagle is synonymous with the energy of the Brow Chakra, the chakra BELOW the Crown."
Why do they stop there do you think? Yogi's meditate on the "Thousand Petaled Lotus", the connection to the energy that comes from ABOVE the
crown chakra.
Qabalists in meditations place their consciousness on the same place and call it "The Point." Both meditations, one of Eastern and one of Western
Traditions result in the same experience. The awakening of the Kundalini or "Fire From Within."
"Who cares what some con-artist 'yogi' claims to have done. There are so many of those egomaniac parasites floating around, it would take you a
lifetime just to sort through them all."
"Seers come in all sizes and shapes"
"Do you mean to say that there are different kinds of seers?"
"No. I mean that there are scores of imbeciles who become seers. Seers are human beings full of foibles, or rather, human beings full of foibles are
capable of being seers. Just as in the case of miserable people who become superb scientists.
"The characteristic of miserable seers is that they are willing to forget the wonder of the world. They become overwhelmed by the fact that they can see
and believe that it's their genious that counts. A seer must be a paragon in order to override the nearly invincible laxness of our human condition.
More important than seeing is what seers do with what they see."
"What do you mean by that, don Juan?"
"Look at what seers have done to us. We are stuck with their vision of an Eagle that rules us and devours us at the moment of our death."
He said that there is a definite laxness in that version, and that personally he did not appreciate the idea of something devouring us. For him, it would be
more accurate to say that there is a force that attracts our consciousness, much as a magnet attracts iron shavings. At the moment of dying, all of our being
disintegrates under the attraction of that immense force.
That such an event was interpreted as the Eagle devouring us he found grotesque, because it turns an indescribable act into something as mundane as eating.
