Right On , Bob May.
I, and maybe We, are struggling with Knowledge.
I think that our problem is that we are removed from , Eden?, or a wholistic understanding. (silly me. I am truly backward when it come to Wholeism)
It sure is ch-ch ch-Changes within the current Culture.
An interesting idea from don Juan, and maybe some others, is that Emotion or control of emotoin , is key to alternate realities.
Like this: that the recall of emotion, not just memory, is the path to 2nd attention.
The damn thing about this is that for us, it is difficult, but, for aboriginals , it was common knowledge. Thus, don Juan's criticism of the
'Rationality' of today.
The Aussie book I read was 'historical fiction'. Many of my other sources, Amerindian , were real history.
Marlo Morgan's book has a photograph with herself and Burnam Burnam, Elder of the Wurundjeri Tribe. The man looks like Maharishi!
Anyway, my point is that, fiction or non-fiction, the Idea of Spirit seems to be finding a Unified Theory among many of those publishing. And, that the
teachings of don Juan are a part of that.
Sadly, I have not encountered this kind of knowledge in person, only in print.
This is the story of creation from Ms. Morgan's book, which she attributed to the Aboriginies:
"In the beginning, in the time before time, there was nothing. No stars, no sun, no earth, nothing. There was only the Great Oneness. And, the Oneness
began to DREAM! In this Dreamtime, Oneness expanded to make a layer of Oneness Spirit. The layer was given free-will conciousness. The Rainbow Snake (Eagle?)
is the carrier of this spirit Energy, and it enabled our ancestors to be. The world was created by invisible ENERGY , and ancestor DREAMERS were free to design
it in any way they chose...."
So, here is a Sorcerers' Story from half a world away, that reflects the same stories of the Americas, and don Juan.
It seems that Spirit comes from the very soil beneath our feet, like the foods that sustain us.
Supposedly, the Aboriginies claim psychic abilities, as don Juan was a SEER. Don Juan said that this was our Heritage, diminished by Rationality.
Though weak, I have experienced that. And Dreams? Thanks to Castaneda, and attention, my dreams are becoming , well, more real.
Ask me about the Bear and
the Horses!
