Hi Lex,
Hope you had a nice trip.
My teacher and benefactor were the clearest examples of that. They were men of great power, but they were not men of knowledge. They never broke the bounds of their enormous views (massive edifices of speculation) and thus they never arrived at the totality of themselves.
So DJ teachers did not arrive at the “totality of themselves” even though they were master stalkers and dreamers. What was it about their “enormous views” that prevented that? And why was stalking and dreaming of no help to them in this regard?
Trying to understand DJ as presented by CC is not an easy task. IT was certainly difficult for CC who was right there conversing with him.
My opinion is this: Neither Don Juan's teacher nor Carlos ever got past the Sorcerer's world. As I said above, each plane is infinite in it's own way. Their "enormous views" were indeed enormous. But they were only exploring a plane or two beyond this earth plane.
Just as an astronomer's view of this physical universe is enormous compared to a layman's view, but puny compared to a sorcerer's view.
If they spent their lives exploring the soul realms they would have become very powerful in that context.
Just as a trader on Wall Street can become very powerful in the context of this world but never see, experience or maybe not even believe in anything beyond this world.
But to learn of the spiritual realms I think they may have had a problem with the spirit.
Force works in the body. Will works in the soul. Desire and belief work in the spirit.
Just my opinion.
