We have some time left before we get sick and/or die.

Cedar: You are girl.. right ? i did not know. again. everybody here should state boy/girl first to avoid confusion =))



So the physical exercises: no sport/fitness weighlifting what is otherwise useful to a healthy man, but



yoga - asanas exercices, very good, this is precisely to tune up energies in the physical body. Then you can add up kung-fu and so... this is a good advice for boys too. its better than sport/fitness weightlifting.

Nimex: in such a case there is no time for stupidity..



Time does not wait absolutely for anybody.



You have some time left. Will You spend it watching TV and playing computer games ? Or playing with Castaneda teks ?



Its Your life, not the TV or Castanedas teks.



Your soul is your soul, your energy body, you have formed it thru all your life, you have put your impetus in your soul, and as your physical body dies, your soul will bring you there, as you have lived, as you have thus formed karma/action/intention in your life.



Before You die You can make a difference thru your action.



But the dying moment/state of mind is the most important, the end of our life.



How we have started, how we have lived, and how we have ended our life... those are the important points toward the Gateway of Our Death... into the Definitive journey in the end of life of every human being.... entering the intermediate state following the death of physical body the "mythological" journey starts... ( in tibetan bardo. you will see our your life and enter the aspects of time ang gravity of your karma of your life action/formation of body speech and thoughts

Nimex: Carlos was watching too much WW2 videos too much before he died, knew great deal about Nazis.



The point here is that You must be good. Simply good.





You have my admiration for staying calm not getting angry, i get pissed constantly.

Bah...it's not the "teks" that are the problem...its the desperation behind them. The craving for something that seems perennially out of reach. Teks are no big deal, I feel...much of what Castaneda offered are wonderful tools if the mood is right....they can be used for valid, clear, heart-felt exploration which is what this marvelous diverse universe is tee-d up for. Dream, if you like....find your energy body and explore the extent of this venue with purity and love and appreciation, thanking Infinity for all its myriad manifestations. Clear-heartedness opens this universe like flower...doorways in every direction...choose! And enjoy. I say explore to your heart's content...try to avoid distraction to obsession...but enjoy it all from the best of one's perspective.

"Are You a Nagual ?"



I have no idea. In the end, it hardly matters, is my deep impression. When you're approaching the sea, how can the size of the stream be meaningful in any way whatsoever? Its irrelevant. Whatever my "configuration", all I can hope to do is flow as gracefully as I can, in spite of my oftimes lack of grace...take in the scenery on the way...and then release myself, without a single self-reflective thought, to my destination.

[Nagual LoneWolf]

Which is the Eagle's beak where you will be laid out flat and your awareness taken.Hey Glance nice post though and I like its serenity intent with life as its heartfelt and open.

[glance left]

Thank you, Lone Wolf.



I'm not afraid of being eaten...and, paradoxically, there is freedom in that. Gives me courage to fight to the end for the best experience I can express within this gift of life. It's all I"m really interested in...finding full expression in the here and now.

[Guest]

Glance, do you prescribe to the process of losing human form while alive? Aka, dying a symbolic sorcerers death?

[glance left]

Sure...why not. But I don't subscribe to it to the exclusion of any other way of describing it. i.e. it is something that happens when one pursues silence persistently past a threshold, regardless of one's path...but how it happens and how it is interpreted depends on one's personal circumstances/configuration/underlying beliefs whatever. Personally, I'm interested in the bare essentials within which mystical systems seem to be unified...the most abstract common denominator which is buried deep in silence and can't really be delineated with language, saying its "this" or "that"...i.e. the essence that transcends or diffuses through the presumed solidity of walls which separate one system from the next

[Guest]

Thanks for the response. I definitely prescribe to it, I feel its the single most important factor to everything.

[glance left]

If that's the case, then you should probably go for it with everything you've got I have no doubt you will arrive, fully fledged

[Guest]

Thanks and yes I have been doing that this past year and counting...have to say, its been an interesting year.

[glance left]

I bet And thank you....you are an inspiration

[Guest]

Yes, fellow warriors inspire me too, where would I be without all of you? Not very far I know.

[scout1]

GL: thats right attitute. sorcerers have no tommorow, they have only now. Have a look at warriors eyes, You will see nothing, he is dead already.

[glance left]

I've seen those eyes, yes. There is no self relfection there.. It's awareness, pure and simple. So, dead yes....to the idea of the self which, in my perspective is the "sorceric death"...and which has far greater reaching implications than what one might THINK of it lol...has profound energetic implications which alter one's state, to be sure. But the way is simple. Death to the idea of the self is a simple process...difficult but simple...scary as hell sometimes but simple...devastating perhaps but simple...maybe even life threatening, depending in how desperately we cling. Death to the idea of the self, which is the source of all of our problems, lies in vanquishing the source of ideas themselves....the flyer's mind which forever compels us to self-reflect, bending the lines of our awareness inward into a dark, confusing, deranged, limbo-esque labyrinth which is difficult to find our way out of. Clear, silent awareness is the way...burns through the walls...sees directly into reality. The solidity of the idea of the self cannot remain in such a light....it melts and converts, like something propelled into the sun...it becomes kindled and erupts beyonds its barriers. The self dies and something brighter emerges....thus the notion of the Phoenix...or the Quetzlcoatl. Rebirth! May we all find it

the eagle spat you back out , less than terrifying , and even happy : )

[Peacefulwarrior]

Isn't recapitulation writing all of the names of all the people you have met in ur life and then writing every single detail you can remember about them or is it writing down every single experience that you had that you can remember from birth to now? I am about to start doing a RECAP., but I need more info as am not sure which of the two to do.

Thanks

[delawaredan]

Don Juan had Carlos write down everyone he knew as this is what Carlos needed to do.....just as Carlos needed to write down all of his experiences with DJ.    Recapitulation has no specific directive that would work for everyone.   For instance, if I sit in inner silence, and turn off the internal dialogue....images from my past come to me in flashes.  Things that need my attention and recapitulation.    Oddly enough, when I turn my head from side to side....I have an easier time getting the complete memory and letting it go completely.   This may or may not work for you or for me always.   Recapitulation is a life long process....it will be come easier the more you live your life like a warrior.   It will be easier and not a daunting task of writing everyone and everything down.   But if you need to write it down, then you probably know what is best for you as spirit lets you know what you need.
