Persyd:
1: Doña Soledad was personally coached to kill Carlos by Don Juan alone. He even told her about his personal weaknesses to exploit and how to entrap him.
Silvio wasn't there, because Soledad wasn't his apprentice. In any way the point was that Don Juan wasn't as nice as portrayed by his
"fans". As most naguals, he wasn't a saint. A shaman is not a buddha.
2: Silvio Manuel was more powerful and more connected to the Spirit, but he wasn't the Nagual Leader. The one that told Castaneda that Silvio was the
"worst" was Don Juan himself! Even La Gorda speculated that the true heart of that particular Nagual
operation was Silvio Manuel. They were all naguals, but some had more power and connection with the spirit.
3: The Nagual Julian didn't pass the Eagle. It's on the books. He knew it and made peace with it. I would not dare to invent or speculate something
like that without knowing! I personally love Julian, but he had his character flaws. Still he managed to produce a nagual inheritor and a working nagual party,
unlike Carlos.
This rather simple post about freedom, self-importance impeccability had two answers:
1. You are fool. (Silvio Manuel was scary... go figure! Like most naguals!)
2. You are wrong (As usual!).
Da point of the post? Completely missed. ***!
Self-importance remains a very important subject, even if you guys don't care.
It seems that most of us are more speculators than we know. At least I'm open about it.
