Wonderfull article Artnwere))
"This is my blooming "map" ... one, that isn't worth a cent ! and one it is "time" for me to get rid off .... in order to enter into the flow ....
What's yours ?"
Are you asking us to summarize our core as travellers of the path so that we can ambandon it and thus enter its flow? (this is a question so that i am sure i understand what you are asking)) it doesn't have a hidden meaning)) )
"Buddha is a Buddha .... because Buddha isn't a Buddha.
Shaman is a Shaman .... because Shaman isn't a Shaman, but a Hollow Bone .... and the more Hollow the Shaman becomes ... the greater the volume of the Power that can be channeled through him/her."
This is the paradoxe of ultimate power: indeed when we become hollow we are in the most powerfull state. The void lies inside and around us and we can form it at will.
the problem is that when we are trully hollow we have no desire, no intent. All this power and no desire to use it.There is no ego, no personality, just darkness.
It took me some time to realise what Silvio Manuel symbolised in Castaneda but i finally got it. And then you see this paradoxe really exists: hollowness means ultimate power with no intent to use it.
Universe has the most interesting sense of humour))
mmm.. and that's why, maybe, "good" will always be stronger than "evil" Cause "good" can observe and understand the duality. "Evil" by definition has an Intent of acting, and the Intent of acting can't be hollow. So "good" has an universal ace in its sleeve" it CAN be hollow and still be perceive as "good". Evil has to act in an evil direction in order to be perceived as evil. Evil can have purity, but it will always have intent, an agenda.
But then of course.. "good" can't exist either outside of duality..
A shaman as described in Castaneda, can never be really hollow - unless it is a Silvio Manuel type of energy. A Nagual (as a person- leader of group) can never be hollow, because he/she has an agenda, a mission, an Intent that gives him his Identity. The same stands for every member of an energy group, since each energy configuration is a pattern that dictates the behavior of the warrior. A perfect impeccable warrior won't be hollow. No. He/She will be a perfect clear manifestation of it's energy configuration. And this is as far as Castaneda's shamanisme can take one. Maybe.. who knows.. this is as far as a human on this plane can go:as far as its cells allow him.
I haven't made up my mind on this issue yet. But then again.. i don't have to) or do I..?? hihi)) philosophy...hmm..
True hollowness doesn't give a **** about death, nor about going pass the eagle, nor about saving its soul. Hollow is already the void.
So, there, some of my thoughts too)))
