Controversy. The basis of good discussion!
I am going to post a couple of commentaries that might seem controversial. This new forum is as good a place as any! In the spirit of the title of this forum, I will say that I believe that all healing is an effort to become whole. Now, you may think that I am speaking of becoming a 'whole person', reaching and utilizing your 'whole' potential, etc. ... I am not. I am speaking of becoming the Nahual; the true whole.
Traditions, including the tradition CC preached and many others try to emulate, are nothing but baggage. A true Nahual needs no tradition to teach an acolyte. He needs no prescribed ancient ritualized procedure. I propose to you that a Nahual "sees" exactly where the acolyte is and what his/her potential is. He can concoct a 'tradition' that will exactly suit the student! And he does! Juan Matus was such a Nahual. Carlos was not. He never did "get it". Thus he could not carry on the work. He simply wrote about the "tradition" that Juan Matus made up for his unfoldment. The proof of this is the dogmatic system he turned it into.
Now, for those of you that will say that there are concrete measurements and goals that students reach, I say to you that those same signposts are present in nearly EVERY tradition. The fact that energy and power has predictable traits does not mean that a specific path or tradition is 'the one'.
Regarding Nahual wannabe's out there today.... if they are offering a similar or modified version of a tradition that was 'concocted' for a specific student (recently OR long ago...), then they are feeding their own needs and I say they offer nothing. A true Nahual speaks only as the whole. Any description of their work will be focused from the whole; the Nahual. All comments and assignments will emphasize the whole as a given and will not confirm the false 'separatness' that is born of the ego.
What say you??For the Standing Mother,
DG
