I would love a description of the state/experience of how it is when one aligns the two APs, the one of the double with the one of the tonal self. Is it similar to seeing/silent knowledge when one suddenly knows stuff one 'should not'. Like having a memory of something that did not 'really' happen.
Memories that never happened - a favorite subject of mine. As for aligning the 2 assemblage points... that would be defined as "embracing the totality of oneself". It doesn't happen - at least not fully - during our mortal lifetime. This explains a bit more about don Juan's statement that a warrior who comes face to face with his double is a dead warrior. Reason being: when the warrior truly embraces the TOTALITY of himself... it's... well... TOTAL. Meaning - "there can be only one." Take it one step further, and it also implies that the conjoining of the 2 assemblage points creates what I have referred to as the singularity of consciousness. Like a literal re-birth - alpha/omega, beginning & end.
With that said, I have seen evidence (in my own life, but others as well) that the 2 assemblage points (self and double) can essentially "orbit" one another and cross orbits from time to time. In other words - not a total conjoining, which would result in the mortal self essentially leaving this earth, but a partial "overlap" that allows for those "memories that never happened" wherein the mortal human APPEARS to be "remembering" things that happened to the double - yet they FEEL like "real" memories as opposed to feeling like dreams or fantasies.
The double is the Self in eternity. The Self is the double in the now.
And what happens when we see/directly communicate with ourselves (our double) then, in terms of APs, would you also call that an alignment? Maybe of some other sort, hm.. brain explodes
This is why the art of silent knowing is so vital. If the warrior and his/her double were to come face to face, and if the warrior has mastered *seeing*, yes it would amount to a brain explosion... an instant re-conjoining that would, in essence, end the warrior's life as s/he knows it.
