To address the above post: Rearranging the bubble as described and then bursting it, is a good physical description of what is happening when the shift is made to leave the body with full awareness. The tonal has been addressed, the nagual side is ready. Total toltality.
Achieving the third attention while alive is indeed the height of the sorcerer's power. Maintaining it at will requires much energy and cannot be achieved for very long periods before losing consciousness.
My first and foremost reason into reading the works of Castaneda was to seek freedom from death, thus when the Eagle's Gift came out, I was finally satisfied with an answer. The old seers led the way but the new seers under the lineage of the Tenant decided that maybe there was worse fates out there then death. So backing off, some began to ponder what they can achieve before crossing. Thus we have the warrior's way.
