We have one single issue left. Sorcerers call it the secret of the luminous beings, and that is the fact that we are perceivers. We men and all the other luminous beings on earth are perceivers. That is our bubble, the bubble of perception. Our mistake is to believe that the only perception worthy of acknowledgment is what goes through our reason. Sorcerers believe that reason is only one center and that it shouldn't take so much for granted."
- Tales of Power
I add to this, that scientific research that has shown, eyewitness observers in criminal cases are unreliable. Our prejudices, our backgrounds, our upbringing, and more, all distort what our eyes see. That is an example of the perceptual bubble'.
Oh, and don Juan was so on target here. Reason, and rationality are so overrated. They can't always help you survive. Indigenous peoples, in the bygone era, acted from the Nagual, and performed feats inexplicable to modern man. Some of it is there in Castaneda's books.
What say we lure a big cat and see what happens?
How about a Wolf?
All around America, regular folks want wolves dead. They don't understand that these creatures share a space with us, and have a right to live, and have a purpose. Ask, what created them, and why? Not you and I.
Here is a point of consideration about good vs evil. The wolf is not evil, it simply is. For a human being to be in the way of such is the coice of Power. Better to know how to stay out of the way, and survive
