How do you view the 'the eternal rewards of Heavenly
realms', or what is your perception of them?  I mean, what exactly do you envision this to be?  If you believe in don Juan and his cohorts that 'ascended' or burned with the fire from within, where are they now?  Did they go to 'Heaven'?
Just curious as to your beliefs or insights concerning the 'after-life', what happens when you 'die', whether it be a normal death or a don Juan-type death, and your conceptions of 'the eternal rewards of Heavenly
realms'...
Supposedly, we are all God equally with no one person more "God"
than anyone else.

In an ideal spirit sense but in actuality some people 'express' more of God than others; some are conscious of 'God' on some level and seek to resonate with that energy (Life Force, Infinity, the Universe, Mother Nature, Consciousness, Unconditional Love, Light) while others do not care, are indifferent, or ignorant and unconscious of the presence/actuality/manifestation of 'God' (SPIRIT); & some choose to go against that Force and become anti-life (murderers, haters, spiritual suicide, petty tyrants, etc) 
...so time and experience can set people apart, yet each soul's potential and destiny is the deciding factor, and Spirit is the ultimate decider of that (acquiesce to the designs
of intent) whether the soul lives up to its potential or manifests all of it is up to the free-will of the soul... and if the soul is to survive in eternity, then it has all the time in the world to manifest it.

"Hi Sacateca,
I do think that it matters whether don Juan existed. I think it's important if for no other reason then because the question is part of the story and ought to be considered when interpreting the entire text."

MY RESPONSE:
So, whether or not the lessons of Castaneda's don Juan are useful is determined by whether or not his don Juan actually existed? Surely you're not that dumb, are you?
If it means so much to you whether or not don Juan actually existed then defer to experts greater than yourself, not to wannabe hack supposed experts like the idiots who followed Castaneda until his death then turned against him. Yes, Jeremy, this means YOU!
Defer to the experts at UCLA who were so convinced there actually was a don Juan that they gave Carlos Castaneda a Ph.D for his dissertation that became the book Journey To Ixtlan.
In Castaneda's books it was said that the knowledge of don Juan was of ancient Toltec descent.
Victor Sanchez purportedly lived among the descendants of the Toltecs and empirically verified that the knowledge of Castaneda's don Juan was indeed of ancient Toltec descent.
It is written that Don Miguel Ruiz's parents, Don Jose and Dona Sarita, as well as his grandfather, Don Leonardo, all believed that Miguel would continue their legacy in the centuries old Toltec tradition.
Personally, I don't like this Ruiz character, but I must admit that I believe I have one of his books somewhere and what he teaches sounds a lot like what don Juan taught except that Ruiz emphasizes love while don Juan pretty much NEVER used the word love until the end when Genaro was doing his best to embrace the entire planet. Don Juan may not have even used the word love then either. I can't remember and I don't want to look it up. Well, I tried to find it and I couldn't. If memory serves, love was a word that don Juan NEVER used. Obviously, love was not important in don Juan's teachings and that is, most probably, THE MAIN THING that makes don Juan's teachings defective.
As for this Ruiz character, he used the word love quite a bit, but obviously did not "love" to exercise and eat properly. I had heard that he was given TWO heart attacks one after the other and now is living with a heart transplant. To me this is sign enough that even though Ruiz says "love" a lot the Spirit does not approve of the guy and neither do I. There is something about Ruiz that really turns me off. I've never felt this way about Victor Sanchez, but I'm not too keen on Sanchez either. I have his book somewhere. I wonder if it is available at the Kindle store. I checked and no, it's not. Oh well....

"That’s fine. But how do you know what a better life is, or determine what is good, wholesome and useful? Aren’t you relying on the books to show you that knowledge? Or are you claiming to already have that knowledge?  If you already know what a better life is, and what is good, wholesome and useful, then what do you need the books for?"

MY RESPONSE:
I have to make the assessment of a "better life" through empirical application and direct experiences with Mother Nature. For me, a better life is to live harmoniously with the Sentient Universe and to inspire the Universe to bless my life, to overflowing, with all manner of good and wonderfully wholesome things. I envision myself so overflowing with wonderful blessings from the Universe that I have more than enough left over to bless this entire planet and heal Mother Earth. Yes I think big, but since this planet is microscopic in comparison to the rest of the Universe just how "big" am I thinking, eh?
KNOWING good and wholesome knowledge and consistently applying it and making it work are not the same thing. From empirical experience I KNOW that the weaknesses within my character are the source of my frustrations in life. Lifting books will not make me strong enough to conquer my weaknesses and master my body to the point where I can heal myself AT WILL and send healing energy into Mother Earth and into all my loved ones. As for most of the rest of humanity who want others to do all the work for them they can go frock themselves, for all I care. Either do the work yourselves and succeed at it or SUFFER!! When the rest of the human race cares about MY problems I will care about theirs. I don't see that happening any time soon.
Now that I have been able to use the Kindle to juxtapose the best of all the books in my collection things are changing for the better alright! I believe that, at best, the books can 'point the way' to living an enlightened life. Kind of like using a map. However, the map will NEVER take the place of ACTUALLY BEING THERE! I'm sure we can agree on this, right?

________________________________________

Tom,
Are you saying you place the opinions of Corey & Jeremy Donovan above that of the anthropology experts at UCLA to determine whether or not Castaneda deserved that Ph.D? If so, I boldly say you are an **** and Guy was indeed correct!
As I read your response I felt in my heart that you were indeed being very honest; although I could be wrong. As I read Jeremy's most recent response I felt in my heart that I should NEVER blindly trust Jeremy. COMPARED TO YOU, TOM, Jeremy is indeed a shifty, lowlife character. I say only fools take him at his word on ANYTHING he may tell you. If you feel comfortable buying a used car from Jeremy Donovan PROVE IT and buy one. Good luck. I say you're gonna need it!

TOM WROTE:
"Oh. I guess I misunderstand you. That happens a lot."
MY RESPONSE:
I like the way you humbled yourself when you found you misunderstood that poster. It says much about the quality of your character, Tom. I sure don't remember Ghost Dog being that way. Not even Corey Donovan. I've NEVER seen a post Jeremy Donovan TBD has created where he openly admitted he was wrong about what a poster stated. Well, I've never seen it.
Jeremy acts like, and probably is, the STAR attraction of the SR forum. He wants you to smear out the wet cement, on the SR walk of fame, so that he can put his footprints in, drop a turd between them, then sign it
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I like being GENUINE when I deal with people in Internet forums. Of course, that is why I have been banned from so many of them.
Are you ready for this?

REMEMBER: not returning my insults is the only way you knuckleheads can empirically prove you are 'better than me'
This is what I call a 'Catch 22' psychological strategy or psychological 'checkmate' and it's rather sophisticated, if I do say so myself...and I do!

TO THE JEREMY DONOVAN TBs:
For many years Jeremy Donovan was a TB for Carlos Castaneda. Now he's a TB against Carlos Castaneda. Ignorants like Jeremy live in an 'all or nothing' world. Either they are ALL right or they are ALL wrong. Jeremy stayed with Castaneda for years apparently learning nothing whatsoever that was useful for he eventually felt he was "completely" mistaken. Not partially, COMPLETELY. Talk about a knucklehead. Who in their right mind would stay with Castaneda for years if they were not learning useful information? Not even Guy Gardner would be that dumb; and that's saying a lot!
Those of you who blindly believe Jeremy Donovan, at his word, are a bunch of TB Jeremy Donovan morons

How
about you tell everyone here whether or not YOU feel Jeremy Donovan is
more qualified than the anthropology experts at UCLA to determine
whether or not Carlos Castaneda deserved a Ph.D for Journey To Ixtlan?
Can you at least do that instead of complaining like a little old boring man?
This question is also for EVERYONE ELSE who posts here. Please address it!

COMMENT:
Obviously I'll have to answer it for you because you are all too cowardly to state the truth you feel in your hearts.
YOU ALL KNOW that Jeremy Donovan is (((NOT))) more qualified than the anthropology experts at UCLA
to determine whether or not Carlos Castaneda deserved a Ph.D for Journey To Ixtlan.
THEY were obviously certain don Juan was a real person.
What are YOUR credentials that make you superior to judge such matters?
Day after bloody day I've been making this point and none of you cowards will address it!

I don't expect Sacateca to change anything...why should he? The purpose of my post at him was to see if he wanted to engage in some combat. He declined. Instead, it appears, you decided to engage.

In regard change, nobody changes. The best anyone can do is manage to reveal himself to himself, what don Juan called achieving the totality of self. That total uncovering of self does not change self...it is enlightenment in its true form.
Your posts are utter nonsense Gonzo.  You say his posts are meaningless entertainment, however, you may not see it yet, but your interpretation ^ is filled with the meaning it has for you...the meaning you have given it.  Yet you don't know what he intended, felt, or wanted.  Your assumption that he wanted combat is a reflection of what is inside you.  His unwillingness to engage in combat with you is a pretty clear indicator that combat was not something he wanted...seems you were wrong.
What the f do you mean revealing himself to himself...DJ said cut the chains of self reflection...go back and do your homework.  Enlightenment is the transcendence of self, the overcoming of the need to obsess on the self. 
Hi, barefoot...
Let me say, IMHO, Sacateca (aka Sid, aka Sidarthur, et al) has as a sole purpose, combat.  I say that because I've read a good deal of his stuff on this forum and others and what he says is usually controversial garbage and when others confront him, he does his best to insult them.  If you doubt that, check him out on yuku.sustainedreaction.com.
and re enlightenment, I disagree...it is the ultimate exaltation of self.  I might ask you who becomes enlightened...who pursues enlightenment?  and why?

You fail to see the difference between your interpretation and fact.  You state your perceptions as facts...this is useless drivel.  Even in your diserntation on what enlightenment means for you...exalting your self (sounds like playing with yourself)...totally worthless drivel.  You don't like S because he is a lot like you...neither one of you can make your point.

There are some flaws with your logic which leads me to wonder if you are just simply repeating an accepted belief without having firsthand experience of what you are talking about. 
First of all (getting over the hurdle of the whole god-thing..assuming is true for the discussion), no person can express more god than another.  Either people ARE an expression of god or they are not.  If they are, then all people are always an expression of god no matter what they are doing.  Where this seems to get mucked up for you (which is also Gonzo's problem) is the failure to discern the difference between your perception of these matters and the matters themselves.  For example, you take on an agreement that something loving is more godlike than something like war and so based on your agreement this alters your perception of what people are doing and then perceive that some are more godlike in their expression.  However, this is only a function of your perception. 
Asked to elaborate on enlightenment being the transcendence of self, what I stated above illustrates this.  You are caught in the cycle of agreed perceptions and cannot seem to tell the difference. Agreements and perceptions are a function of self.  Transcendence of the agreements and the perceptions yeilds a freedom and wisdom that is an aspect of enlightenment.  And "exhaltation" of ones agreements and perceptions would be the antithesis of enlightenment. 
Whether a consciousness can awaken beyond the cycle of the human tendencies is not a question, all can.  However, the "exhaltation" of self, or self worship, is a seductive trap.  In order to wake up, one would need to foster the kind of internal strength and perserverance to deny the pleasures...as the story of Siddartha reveals.  Not everyone is willing to overcome their desire for pleasures, nor do all see the reason for doing so.

[BarefootInTheSand]

Gonzo's perception is that S wants combat (probably based on Gonzo actually being the one that wants combat in order to ignore S so that he can win some unresolved battle in the recesses of his mind).



On the other hand, I percieved S as posting all this here as some kind of record keeping probably based on that there is something unresolved about what is happening in the SR or as an attempt to understand why people are objecting to his posts which is apparent he feels are all justified. I do not consider my perception to the reality of what he is doing...instead is only a function of how I interpret how much I can see of what he is doing.



In no post have I perceived a desire for combat, instead it all seems more like a defense against where he felt wronged. I do percieve his desire for a conversation. However, this is where the difficulty comes up. S, your posts are too long...no one is probably reading them through and so rather than converse on your points they are conversing on the fact that you are posting. Some, who are looking for trouble are looking for you to say something wrong that they can jump on...and when you do, they do.



One way to have intellegent conversation (and I am offering this because you stated that maybe someone can show you), is to create a post at the intellegence level that you wish to converse at...and then ruthlessly stick to only responding to any intellegent point made. The attention whores will wither away as they realize that you aren't feeding them. Don't feed any commentary, be ruthless about this. Feed only what you want more of...and, again, be ruthless about this.

@ Saca -



You actually think you're going to:



A) - post anything you haven't posted before?



B) - have an intelligent conversation with anyone here?



C) - change anyone's opinions on anything?



D) - convince anyone that CC was anything more than a scribe?



E) - convince anyone don Juan (et al) really existed?



F) - that aliens are among us?



G) - that world consciousness is going to rise to new levels but only amongst those in the know?



H) - that there is such a thing as a "four compartmented Nagual"?

THIS is the point I am making in the SR forum and they still are doing their best to ignore and dance around it. Jeremy is getting nervous and trying to change the subject.
He will obviously NEVER openly admit that he and Corey Donovan have NO QUALIFICATIONS WHATSOEVER to determined whether or not Castaneda, or anyone else,
deserves a Ph.D

[seesaw]

Well the thread is slowly starting to make a little more sense then. Is it really just about an argument between some guy called jeremy and you? Is that it? If so your side of the argument seems perfectly logical and rational ie the best people to decide wether a phd is awarded is the body responsible. Its not something i can get overly excited about though.

Wow Gonzo, the sad part is that you are right...you can lead pigs to water but the pigs convinced that they have no wings will not fly. You win your war, whooppee! The pigs will all stay down in your mental ceaspool whining about how empty these forums are. Gonzo, the ringleader of pigs.



If you could only see that for what it is then you might be capable of intelligent conversation on a topic.



In your wild assumptions Gonzo, you missed what he was asking for...1) intelligent conversation on his points 2) specific feedback on where he went wrong. Seems to me that even a tard like you could manage that.

You lie, a few posts ago you imagined he wanted combat and stated you were attempting to engage him in combat.  Ironically enough this is very similar to the point that S is trying to make at SR...some of you have been lying so long to yourselves about yourselves that you have become nut jobs.  Some think that they are so great that they are somehow better able to decide who should and who should not have gotten a Ph.d...Gonzo, you think that you are so great that your perception and judgment of others IS the way it is...nut jobs, lost in your own delusions.

[BarefootInTheSand]

S, you are right, they aren't. They are just being twats on ego trips. Recognize that and allow it to be what it is. Recognize what about it hooks you and then let it go. If you get good at listening you will discover who in these groups has any real skill and who are armchair gods. A thought to consider, post a thread sharing the information that you have and then walk away from it, don't even look if that helps, and let it go. Just a thought.

In a battle (even just of wits) it may be tempting to sling an eye for an eye, insult for insult, evil for evil... that way will eventually bring destruction for all parties who choose that path. Seek and walk the path of peace, it is a higher path, a gentler path. At times one may slip and fall, but if the intent and perseverance to walk the healing path is there, and perchance you are ably assisted by wise and experienced Guides, then one ought to reach the timeless destination to no-where, the eternal rewards of the Celestial Realms of Awareness and Beingness and the Creativity of Living Intelligence and Transmuting Art, with skill and grace and light-heartedness to boot.

I like to see intelligent interaction here. Give me something to think about, folks!
Thanks!
After reading your posts I am beginning to see that when I insult others in a post it blinds them to any good thing I may have shared. In other words: If I am going to insult people in a post I might as well not write anything else because all they tend to see is the insult.
