Hi Bob,
Some interesting discussion goin on today.
"Where did the FI begin? Pandora's Box?
Don Jaun said that human beings are in a sad state everywhere. Can that be denied on this very day?"
Maybe the fall of the angels when the sons of God came into the daughters of men,..when there were giants in the earth...
Or maybe it's the same story.
"It'd be really disgusting if you sided with mankind as if you didn't know about the existence of the assemblage point. But it'd be even more insidious if you sided with the old sorcerers and cynically manipulate the assemblage point for gain."
Don Juan's goal for Carlos was, from the beginning of his teaching, to point him to becoming a "man of knowledge."
I think he and many others settled into the idea of remaining sorcerers. Others settled for remaining average men.
I don't see the draw of becoming an average man. What's the point. There has to be something to strive for or we are just going through motions until we don't anymore.
I think it is in mankind's nature to be explorers.
There is nothing left undiscovered on earth except maybe the bottom of the ocean and I don't like cold water.Bob
