Dear Serloco
I think there is more to life than intentionally controlling awareness this seems like a real underestimation or underassesment I find talking to people a big challenge and I dont think sorcery really makes a difference , I think it is safe to say that we all find people challenging but perhaps only Warriors really learn to see it that way.
I understand that many great things can be accomplished by being a sorcerer but I think Don Juan was always telling Carlos that the second attention was like a training ground for the third attention and that sorcery was a dead end path which leads nowhere!
When you say cursed form are you talking about enslavement? Im not sure if I see enslavment as a curse, In the movie Gladiator Maximous the Roman general was demoted to slave status and had one hell of a ride out of it so much so it killed him! I know its just a movie but he was still a slave.
When you say '' Thus to say that sorcery is cursed is really to examine one position of cursed awareness '' you are actually asking me to imagine one position of cursed awareness, why would I want to do that? And you might be right that examining one position of cursed awareness is the reason for our continual enslavement.
Are you feeling cursed? why would you want to move in to a curse? Perhaps it has a funky rhythm?! a beat to grove to and a melody (hi hats and a cymbal) ?
I do follow Theun or at least have read his books. I think if I were to ask you if you think I am cursed you would clearly have to say yes but do you know this for positive? Is this what your seeing tells you?
I followed castaneda blindly but Theuns writings I actually put in to practice and am able to talk to all kinds of interesting people with passion, suprise, discovery and respect. Perhaps I have not displayed these qualities to you but it does happen from time to time.
I feel that your post is a bit hostile and I wonder if this might be because I have acted badly toward you in the past. Im sorry for that, also I estimate that not much gets done when tempers are high : (
Take care
Little paw
