"The core of our being is the act of perceiving, and the magic of our
being is the act of awareness. Perception and awareness can be a
single, functional, inextricable unit with two domains. The first one
is the attention of the tonal ; that is to say, the
capacity of average people to perceive and place their awareness on
the ordinary world of everyday life: our first ring of
power; our awesome but taken-for-granted ability to impart
order to our perception of our daily world.
The second domain is the attention of the nagual ; the
capacity to place our awareness on the nonordinary world. It's our
second ring of power, or the altogether portentous
ability all of us have, but only sorcerers use, to impart order to
the nonordinary world."
