I'm glad to have finally found a community to discuss and share so much. It's been a struggle coming to terms with my choice of how to live and my daily life in the material world. This is the type of place that will help immensely with the transition.
Background:
A decade ago I began my journey for truth. At first it was videos on YouTube about aliens and the shadow elite but it quickly grew into more when I found the work of Mr. Castaneda. For the first time in my life, I was not alone in my experience. I could immediately relate to the text and felt it resonated with a truth that lies deep within. Since a very young age, I was conscious of and able to pick up messages from beings of all sorts. At age 5 or 6, I had my first direct encounter and I naturally began to follow my heart and live like a warrior. Unfortunately, I had not understood what it truely meant to live in this way and I focused my efforts on others and the material world. Years later these books put words to philosophy and it felt like making it home after a long journey. It took me a year or so to read up to the second to last book before I stopped. During my initial readings, I was only looking for conceptual ideas to explain and contribute to my own experience, ie I tried to live like a warrior but never actually practiced the arts of sorcery (dreaming, stalking, etc). Because I grew up in a religious family, I was very wary about practicing nagualism as one would a religion. But, once my kundalini awakened, I became terribly sick and was lead back to these books realizing that there was never any other way to live. In the back of my mind I always knew and was seeking to learn of others before committing myself fully. It's been less than a year since that turning point and I've now begun a dedicated study and practice of nagualism. I'm still very green in the arts so any help or advice I can get is much appreciated. Once again I'm very glad to be here and I look forward to getting to know the community.
