Well,I will try to be Coherent about this stuff.
First , there is an inner and an outer Spirit, and when they connect, Seeing, or in my thinking, Prophecy or ESP takes place.
The idea is that these abilities are inborn, but conditioning, which I believe don Juan called setting the Assemblage Point, makes us deny those possibilities.
As I have mentioned before, the Native Americans seemed to have known these things , grown from the very soil they stood upon, as if they were stalks of corn.
I often wonder if other aboriginals were the same, but Indians are all I know.
So, yes , what we give attention to is the source of reality. For me, very diffiult to control, as many forces demand my attention, against my Will.
That sounds like a Warrior's battle.
I am currently reading 'The Fire From Within"
The internal Dialogue-the flimsy position of our realities
Awarenes as a vague knowledge that gives confidence, a sense of a presence that is everything.
To me, not unlike cocepts of God or Christ.
Some years ago, as I was growing in my own spiritual knowledge, I concieved of God, or the Great Spirit as I prefer, as the ultimate gardener; ie: if God is Love, He is like one's Grandmother at her flower garden, feeding, tending, weeding , bringing forth the fruits of her efforts, exulting in the results. This analogy goes even deeper in that if one considers a garden, the miricle is in the fact that certain acts create certain results. Meaning , for instance, that we don't get beans when we plant corn seeds.
Perhaps I'm way off here, but at the time it seemed to me that there were 'laws' of creation that were observable
Oh hell, I can't say, now.
In don Juan's world, can we shift to another possibility?
Do we want to?
Now to go completely off topic, in reading this particular book, I perceived that what a SEER does is to read AURAS! The Luminous Egg.
This is an idea that always seemed so vague to me. Sure , I can understand Prophecy, but Auras?
Anyway, don Juan asserts that emanations are both inside and outside of us. an can be interpreted. This seems as basic as Genesis; created in the image of;
we have some of the infinite powers beyond the Rational. I am still impressed, for instance , to learn that Sioux War Chief Crazy Horse found battle tactics in his Dreaming (source: Dee Brown, "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee") And , that if you consider the odds, these tactics were quite successful.
I have always known that there were unspoken abilities within. Maybe I have been to diverted to get the energy to explore them. Knowledge of such things is Tin Hat stuff , of course.
Ah hell, I'm all over the map here , please accapt my apologies. It is a big issue; Castaneda wrote all these books, and he didn't get it all either. Again , I must cite the Indians. It was First Attention to many of them; and , their respect for the 'Grandfather' was the same as don Juan's.
