Shifting

[delawaredan]

This might be premature.....as I read this post I have the same thought as when I read about this concept in Castaneda.    It is not a fear that will prevent me from continuing this path but it ultimately questions the seemingly one-sided goal of a warrior's party...the ability to leave the world at will, while keeping awareness.   I do believe that this is the ultimate feat of humanity, the ability to keep awareness when the energy body is flying past the Eagle.   However,  why is it our goal as a party to leave the world at a predetermined time.   Is it easier to maintain our awareness when we leave as a group?   Can't we use the warrior party as a tool to help each individual hold onto awareness when it is that indiviudal's natural death.    To me, it seems as if the group's ability to shift the ap together helps us when it is time for us to face that last dance, but by our selves.   Why do we need to cross with the entire party.   Can't we help each other hold onto the awareness without having to leave together?   I know with inner knowledge that the warrior party is the greatest gift that spirit has given us to accomplish this feat, but again I am hung up on the need to leave the world at the same time.   
As for this exercise, I will begin, as it is of great importance.
