Howard Y. Lee, Castaneda's Reluctant New Nagual

[dreamways]

Both kinds of death defiers live with their own kind only. The black hand sorcerers all live together in a single gigantic energy body. They maintain
their individuality but also share energy. They are able to come and go from this home of theirs, sort of like a hive I guess, and they are inorganic because
they don't have physical bodies. They do not live with the inorganic beings that are allies, but they cooperate with them. Their long term goal is to
become one huge high energy being that will be able to travel to some far off beyond, to freedom.




There are lineages that exist that are not influenced by the death defiers, but Castaneda's lineage is not one of them. When death defiers control a
lineage, what they are really controlling is who the naguals of that lineage are, because they only accept naguals that they resonate with. It makes me wonder
what it would be like to witness an unaffected lineage, one that was only guided by the spirit. The mechanism of nagual creation is different for the two
types of lineages, the manner in which succession takes place is not the same, the energy moves differently between the nagual leader and his apprentice
nagual, its a different type of initiation.
