I find that there is no understanding of this kind of knowledge in the day-to-day world. Only here, and maybe a few others, is there a platform for progress in the ideas of the role perceptions play in creating our realities.
I have had a longtime interest in the science of semantics; words have emotional effect, consequences. Words and descriptions we accept as normal can distort our perceptions. My favorite gripe is the word 'supernatural'. I prefer the 'unknown', so that I am not seduced into worship of false gods.
The Nagual is a place beyond words and thought moulds, this is true.
The research on the unreliability of eyewitness testimony impressed me. We see what we want to see, or, as in the Susan Smith murder case (South Carolina some 12 years ago) , we behave as black sorcerers, to manipulate perceptions for self importance.
Well, it can be disturbing to be on the outside of social convention. Then again, I may have been in that place all along, anyway, and it becomes a matter of acceptance.
Any ideas about that dream I had, Lonewolf? That one's a puzzle to me. Pregnant Asian males?
