Mariano Aureliano kept watching me.
"As most people do, you associate sorcery with bizarre behavior, rituals, drugs, incantations."
He leaned closer and lowered his voice to a mere whisper, then added that true sorcery was a most subtle and exquisite manipulation of perception.

If you used a vaccuum pump developer on your penis.. and you gained extra girth and length.. would it be classified an assemblage point shift? or an act of sorcery?
or would the vaccuum pump developer itself be a sorceric device? or worse still an INORGANIC?

"If i could deliberatley spontaneously combust through assemblage point change i would!
just out of sheer boredom!" myself.
And if i could move the habitual assemblage position to a point where we all spontaneously combust...
I would.. but only because its funnier than living another 200 years with no assemblage change and them poisoning all plants and our selves and dying a stupid race!
Slamdunk. whats that smell!

Sorcerers also build upon an existing body of knowledge.
However, they don't build upon this knowledge by accepting what has already been established and proven by other sorcerers. Sorcerers have to prove to themselves anew that that which already stands as accepted does indeed exist, does indeed yield to perceiving.
To accomplish this monumental task, sorcerers need an extraordinary amount of energy which they obtain by detaching themselves from the social order without retreating from the world.
Sorcerers break the agreement that has defined reality, without breaking up in the process themselves.

Yes but there is an even greater power to be tapped!
If the sorcerer gains power by detatching from the social order in the world..
then personal power is a result of detachment from social order..
then sureley making the habitual assemblage point itself a beacon of social detachment.. through an energetic mirror of some kind..
would give us also the ability to move within the habitual position rather than fluidly avoiding it..
and thereby GAIN POWER through inspiring personal power in others who you ALLOW to be socially detached .. through the rythm your being plays out..
as such you could energeticly freefall in an energy created by your destiny inspiring ACT on the stage of life..
once all social attatchment vanishes from the total habitual position..
there will be a second energetic detachment for you as a sorcerer from the new ORB of the mind which will not have social attahcment as its centre..
but instead TANTRIC SEX.
only this time from the east!

Speaking of sex, Rosy, here's an oldie but goodie...
The energy of sexuality is an incomprehensibly powerful resource to be tapped into and drawn from by the Warrior.
The formula is exactly the way a Warrior would live. To abstain, to go on a long-term sexual fast in conjunction with a life of well-rounded physical discipline creates a kind of abstract heat in the body. Even if compulsive sexual activity still occasionally happens, to become deeply miserly of sexual energy has immediate effects on the basic energy level and subsequently on one’s ability to experience the second-attention.
The American Guru, Adi Da (formerly known as Da Free John,) used to describe a disciplined life as generating a sense of frustration in the devotee. If sustained, this frustration, created by the vigor of our old, undisciplined tendencies, generates what he referred to as an abstract “heat.” This heat is the result of a surplus of energy being stored in the physical body, energy we used to discharge in our old, degenerative patterns of behavior. You are able to feel it building over time and you may not wish to endure it.
Hence, the world-at-large exists as we know it, filled to the brim with myriad ways to dissipate our energy, to pull it away from our vital centers and to encrust it on the outside of our cocoon. When the practitioner is capable of sustaining the disciplined lifestyle and enduring the heat of it, amidst the course of his/her daily life, the heat continues increasing exponentially, igniting an abstract “fire” within the body, consuming and burning away the old tendencies. The term used for this straightening of intent was “freeing attention.”
Each day of sustained dedication and regenerative action brings about more and more free attention, attention that is no longer absorbed in old patterns of degenerative action and thought, no longer caught by the fascination with degenerative patterns of behavior. This free-attention needs to be redirected into regenerative, vitality-enhancing action or, by tendency, it seeks absorption again in habitual patterns. Freed attention needs to be re-trained into healthy, regenerative action and thought patterns, then given a chance to become absorbed in the new, regenerative behavioral patterns.
Regenerative actions are those that safeguard vitality and regenerative thought is thought that leads to fluidity, detachment and inner-silence. Physical regeneration occurs only as a result of abstaining from sex and/or the daily practice of a disciplined, regenerative lifestyle. Abstaining from sex can be likened to damming up the outward flow of the bio-energetic chemistry thrown off during the sex act, and saving large pools of energy in the process. The biochemistry of the reproductive system begins pooling its resources within the body and then begins to gradually activate the secondary functions of various organs, an evolutionary realm where many fear to tread.
The heat is too hot for those without a capacity for fierce discipline. The heat can be terribly uncomfortable for a time while the rebalancing and reconditioning effort is established and then stabilized.
In fact, the blood takes on a major role in the house cleaning process so it is wise to take measures to assist the blood’s carrying capacity by keeping it well oxygenated as much as possible. The blood, in conjunction with the breath, carries large quantities of toxins out of the system and while it is loaded down with toxins, (i.e. the lethal residue of our old tendencies,) its capacity for carrying oxygen is greatly reduced. Hence, your judgement is impaired, headaches occur, you generally feel like **** and want to indulge in a little something to make yourself feel better. This is when oxygenating your blood by whatever means possible will help you feel more balanced.
The actual cellular material that stores toxic molecules in the body is called the lymphatic part of the cell. It is like a gelatinous fluid within each cell. Since there is no blood flow to this inner lining of the cell wall the only way to move toxins out of the cells, where they are stored, and transfer them into the blood for elimination is via the medium of the breath. Cells need oxygen to purge toxins and remain healthy, and this is as a good a case as anyone has ever heard as to why exercise is so critical our overall health and well-being.
Understanding the mechanics of the body’s balances can aid in moderating one’s discipline and sensing when not to load up the blood too much. When the blood is loaded with **** that the disciplined practitioner is eliminating, it can be impractical and self-defeating to continue to overload the blood, because of the terrible imbalances that can occur. Sometimes, it’s best to go slower and steadier rather than trying to be a hero of discipline right out of the gate. The shock and pain of “house cleaning” can actually scare your body and make it become uncooperative, it rebels and makes the discipline process much more difficult than it has to be.
So, when the practitioner continues to fight the degenerative tendencies with some success, the accumulating biochemistry of sexuality becomes surprisingly strong, terribly intoxicating. As it pools up, it flows into places where the novice wouldn’t expect, creating surprising and often times overwhelming sensations.
The Inorganics and others have a feeding frenzy on you in dreaming unless you have the capacity to thwart them. “The Total-Package” needs to be in place with regards to the warrior arts, with regard to discipline. Every trick in your bag has to be available for action at a moments notice. One has to be eternally ready for the state of total-war, ready to move beyond reproach and away from any sudden scenarios of dreaming seduction or sudden hormonal surges in daily life. Severe energetic losses usually hit you on your blind side.
The surplus sexual energy and glandular biochemistry that are accumulating need to be redirected in an all-out effort for consciousness or their concentration creates in surmountable imbalances that drive one back to compulsive sexual acts and a holy host of energy dissipating behaviors. The newly acquired vitality of an initial period of discipline affords one the opportunity to rediscover old behaviors and dive headfirst into them with an all-new rabidity. Avoid this. A lack of control over one’s biochemical and energetic balances can make a difficult path become utterly, ruthlessly harsh and painful.
Failures such as these can turn a twenty year process into a forty year war and in many cases greatly reduce one’s chances for success and ultimately: freedom. It’s wiser to face the reality of our situation here and now rather than to go on believing that we still have time for one more day of self-indulgence. Be kind to yourself and never even begin to allow your attention to stray. This is where retreat helps and anything that calms one down should be constantly sought out. This is the time when a path with a heart becomes mandatory. Something that you can pour your entire self into, something you can be one with.
For example, one buddy of mine was good friends with a Native American Nahtual Family. During times of great personal struggle he used to go up into the mountains of Northern California to stay with them at their remote ranch. Daily, they would enter the Inipi (or Sweat Lodge) and then swim in the river, no matter the time of year. This is very good for cleansing the body, mind and spirit. The extreme heat and subsequent sweating aids in cleansing of toxins from the blood. Sometimes, during periods of tribal ceremony, when many different tribes would gather together at the ranch, they would sweat morning, noon and night. In between, they’d involve themselves in simple tasks that were calming to the spirit, cooling to the blood. He used to accompany the medicine chief and his warriors on their plant gathering journeys in order to accumulate several varieties of sage, as well as, incense cedar and other useful plants that had ceremonial significance for the Nahtual people. After, they would sit in a big circle around a roaring cedar, oak or cottonwood fire and tell stories while everyone worked at wrapping traditional bundles of the sage and cedar they had collected.
His involvement with the Nahtual was healthy for him and brought him into a deeper relationship with the Earth. The Earth’s energy absorbed the insanity that would build in him from time to time, it would rebalance his body chemistry by soothing the edge on his voracious energy. He would go to visit the Indians and they would welcome him as if he were their relation. He enjoyed their ceremonies for the sheer serenity of each experience although he did not subscribe to many of their traditional beliefs and views of spirit. He simply loved each of the people for who they were, as beings who have to die and they loved him and honored him as one of their own, one of their relations. The Nahtual family’s presence in his life was a gift from the spirit to this warrior / practitioner, for he was able to retreat on their property whenever he wanted and seek the guidance of the elders and the earth when his path had come to overwhelm him.
At this point in one’s growth, a practitioner needs to take refuge in the natural law of conductivity. He/she has to somehow find their own way into a state of being where one becomes a conductor of the flow of energy through the body. All the obstructions and restrictions to the free-flowing conductivity of energy through the body need to be addressed and released. It becomes essential to make serious attempts to move beyond reproach, to move into the realm of the warrior, and find whatever it takes to stabilize there. It comes time to learn the art of how to flow energetically, with no resistance to anything at all. Complete acceptance of everything just the way it is right now. Just moving through life like a breeze through the trees, like water rushing down the riverbed, flowing naturally into the Dark Sea of Awareness....
When thought is systematically reduced, quieted by different practices and a more harmonious approach to living, the amplitude of current is flowing freely from the bottom of the spine to the top of the head and outward, in every direction, through the luminous fibers. Breathing energy inward to the center of the body when we inhale and outward in every direction when we exhale. The mind enters inner-silence automatically, once the practitioner is energetically rearranged, and the boundaries of perception are broken very naturally.
Navigation begins to truly take place at this point, without fail, by virtue of the body reaching a state of energetic super-regeneration, where the flow of conductivity begins to gain incredible speed. One day the barriers of perception just fall, without even trying, and suddenly energy is perceived directly, without any drama at all. It just happens.
The powerful and intoxicating sexual energy, if successfully redistributed, continues pooling into a dark lake behind the Dam of Discipline and with the aid of forbearance, it begins flowing upward through the spinal column to the vital organs and outward, filling the luminous sphere with awareness. A bi-product of this redistribution of energy is that the mind experiences unimaginable clarity, continual illumination and is capable of what Castaneda calls True Thought or the Ability for Higher Reasoning. But again, the total-package has to be in place for a sustained duration in order to reach these states. The surplus of sexual energy causes the spinal column then to become a chimney of fire and the indescribable, “Wow!" feeling in the lower regions of the body, begins to overflow into the upper areas of the body and beyond. It begins to flow upward through the spine, rippling up the back and filling the head with a powerful thunder and light, flashes of insight. "The House of Thunder". The spinal path becomes a river of power in the body, tantalizing every goose-pimpling fiber of your awareness, filling your entire being with heartfelt awe and wondrous sensations.
Follow me, follow my vision
Follow me over the treetops
Look at the birds and butterflies
such colors, you will never see
On the ground.
I am rising into heaven
Rising toward the sun.
- Excerpt from Shabono
In closing, when a practitioner is able to endure the frustration of discipline and is able to allow the heat of redirected tendency to intensify in the context of regular daily life, he or she will steadily move, naturally, into the super-regeneration of personal energy and vitality.
If successful in stabilizing, the heat within the practitioner continually builds and the feeling in the genitals begins taking on powerfully intoxicating qualities, overflowing upward through the spine, moving upward through the blood with the help of the breath, into the higher and more sophisticated regions of the body. When the practitioner has found the strength that is needed to redistribute this highly-intoxicating chemistry, this is when the higher evolutionary mechanisms of the person, the secondary functions of the organs begin to activate.
Pooling sexual energy and redistributing it to the vital centers and to the more elevated faculties of the bio-energetic systems of the body, feeds the secondary functions with life-giving nourishment, allowing the practitioner to draw from these inconceivable resources, well-springs of vitality, health and well-being. The practitioner is then in command of the fire within his or her body and is able to intend the flow of the biochemical energy toward awakening dormant emanations at various positions in the luminous cocoon. The fire within one’s body, when sustained, eventually reaches a flash over point, becoming like radiant light that shines outward through the eyes, illuminating consciousness, enabling the practitioner to perceive energy directly, thus guiding the natural flux of the assemblage point. When all of these attributes are in place in a practitioner, the time has come to begin exploring the possibility of navigating the infinite.
P.S. This entire post is a form of masturbation.

This reply fascinates me to no end and it is very helpful that it has appeared here. This is a shift of perspective for me. An image of a cooling mood is very alien and soothing to my body and then, as well, I am utterly fascinated by the possibility. What if...
For me, being male, abstaining from sexual acts has a continually building sense of intensity. Maybe it is simply nothing more than accumulating testosterone within the blood and glandular tendency toward the production of high levels of testosterone, one of the glandular secretions responsible for sex-drive in males... I want to come back to this subject and go into more depth about this cooling mood and the falling away of desire, I would like it if you could describe it to us in greater detail as it may be enormously beneficial for males to here your perspective.
There is an issue I wish to take though, and that is, that the heat does not come from abstaining alone, although I may have drawn that image, I wish to further clarify my statement. The Heat comes from the frustration of implementing "The Total Package" for a sustained duration. The heat doesn't simply come from sexual abstinence alone, while we doddle about doing whatever else we want do, diverting sexual energy alone is only a singular component of the discipline of a warrior. The "heat" comes from everything at once, from the fierce and relentless straightening of attention. Attention does not want to be straightened. It wants to do what ever it wants to do. What if....
What if. . . we implement an all out, say, as in the case of the Dan Millman program, an adaption of a” High Gear Week," where a practitioner makes a commitment that for one week, this person is going to take all the component disciplines, and apply them to their life all at once: for the period of one week. Balls to the wall, no holds barred, pull all the stops out and totally go for it discipline. Let me ask you this Maria, "what kind of a state do you think this would generate in this practitioner at the end of the first week?"
All of this person's friend's are going out to dinner and sleeping late and going to the movies and shopping, and buying gifts and seeing their loved ones... but this person has to hit it and hit it hard. Very, very light on the food and only certain kinds, very stiff on the workouts and heavy on all forms of kinesthetic demand, no extraneous wandering of the mind allowed, and absolutely no sex, Constant recapitulation, setting up dreaming every possible chance, and not-doing everything, stalking every weakness. This state, sustained, generates deep-seeded frustration with one's old tendencies, the "heat" I am speaking of, is more and more evident the more you live this out, man or woman. At the end of the week most people are running for cover, dreaming of big greasy hamburgers and oral sex, day dreaming of a giant milkshake down at 31 flavors. Only an unusual few are thinking, "Wow, I feel great! I think I am going to go for High Gear Month starting right now!" It takes a little practice before a person is ready to say, "Ok, this is it, High Gear Life!" (Many people say that, all the time, but how many succeed.)
It's important before making this kind of commitment to you and to IT, to build up to it gradually. Before implementing a high gear week, it is necessary to implement a week of intending it, so that you have that week of intent behind you, bolstering you, in those moments when you think you are about to wane in you ability to endure it. You are going directly at every weakness in you and striving to burn it all away. The expected flux of that discipline is caused by the force of this heat that Adi Da speaks of in his work.
Again the entire essay was an analogy, a mental masturbation that should not be construed with the actual ACT of living the Warrior's Way in our daily lives. I would love to hear any further statements you, or anyone else, may wish to make about your experiences in sustaining acts of discipline.
Until we meet again,

A tree grows with purpose...it could die just as well with purpose. In fact, what acts are without purpose? And if so, how can any act be so important in its purpose? Purpose runs the entire world, yet its nothing.
Sorcerers remember..."you're unique,... just like everyone else."

a tree does grow with purpose..
but not all mans acts are purposefull and much is a result of social conditioning..
unless you truly are a Zen master....
alikening the strength of a tree to your own tonal could lend strength to some fundamental flaws in your makeup..
a tree root will crack a rock..
a branch will impail another.
people are not always nice to each other, nor do they seem to care...

“To dream alive means to have hope. It means that you hold on to your dream for dear life.
"To dream dead means that you dream without hope. You dream without holding on to your dream."
Florinda had told me that freedom is a total absence of concern about oneself; a lack of concern achieved when the imprisoned bulk of energy within ourselves is untied.
She had said that this energy is released only when we can arrest the exalted conception we have of ourselves; of our importance; an importance we feel must not be violated or mocked.
Zuleica's voice was clear but seemed to come from a great distance as she added, "The price of freedom is very high.
"Freedom can only be attained by dreaming without hope; by being willing to lose all, even the dream.
"For some of us, to dream without hope; to struggle with no goal in mind, is the only way to keep up with the bird of freedom."

rosy, do you perceive flaws in a person's make-up? Just the idea of flaws in general. To me that's part of social conditioning right there. The basis of a punishment/reward social system, a mode of perception merely. In nature nothing is flawed, and true too in humans nothing is flawed, but man often seems not to see his own in nature's designs. All that IS is merely variation. Now anyone can perceive as they wish and then harvest that perception...that's sorcery.

I dunno...
maybe in your family tree... 12 out of 200 generations were the product of rape or incest>> who knows...
what i do know is that not everything that bought you here to this place.. is something you yourself or your future family NEED!
maybe in your family 70 out of 212 were true love marriages that redulted in conception...
maybe a few of your ancestors were concieved when both parents lost their virginity with each other on their wedding night!
whatever..
but you can see some of what bought you here contains knowledge truth and sanctity..
and the rest YOU WOULD RATHER NOT THINK ABOUT..
or actually CANNOT THINK ABOUT because your naiavety doesnt allow you to be aware of such disgustingness.
wether it does or doesnt it largeley beside the point..
the point is.. Not everything we as humans are made up of today.. is necissary or wise to empower as if we wish it to be present tommorow!

"To die means to cancel all your holdings; to drop everything you have, everything you are."
"That's nothing new," I said. "I did that the moment I joined your world."
"Obviously you didn't. Otherwise you wouldn't be in such a mess. "If you had died the way sorcery demands, you would feel no anguish now."
"What would I feel, then?"
"Duty! Purpose!"
"My anguish has nothing to do with my sense of purpose," I shouted. "It's apart, independent. I am alive and feel sadness and love. How can I avoid that?"
Zuleica clarified, "You're not supposed to avoid it, but to overcome it.
"If warriors have nothing, they feel nothing."
"What kind of an empty world is that?" I asked defiantly.
"Empty is the world of indulging, because indulging cuts off everything else except indulging."

the point is.. Not everything we as humans are made up of today.. is necissary or wise to empower as if we wish it to be present tommorow!I'm saying we can be aware of all variation and proceed accordingly, choosing the things we wish to empower with out attention and those we do not...yet still at the same time understand there isn't any flaw in the design. What this all means is we proceed without giving a damn as to any social criteria...which dictates (perceptually) quite a bit when you think about it.
Such as, social criteria, via consensuses, determines in large part what is "disgusting" and what is not. This determination is merely a perceptive stance. We need not pay into it. We choose what to reflect on and what not to, and any inner narrative surrounding such choices is the internal dialog (socially perpetuated self-refection), so to not have this running narrative about things is useful. Or to have the running narrative but not cling to any point of it is equally as good.
I agree that we navigate and evolve (to tomorrow), but that can be done without the endorsing of a social self. So what are we evolving if not a social self? Freedom. Being free of all limitations.

exactamundo : )
And its social perception (learned) that counteracts any view of perfection. Social perception weighs and judges, so to not have that, or not care about it, that's the ticket. Controlled folly allows us to participate in this social environment without endorsing such environment whole heartedly. Its all folly, and every player in it. No act, no words, no deeds, no beliefs reside outside of folly. Because actions, words, beliefs and deeds all maintain a view of imperfection in design, and then seek to relieve it (dog chasing its tail). Since all the latter maintain insistence on imperfection, to grasp perfection weakens any stance that would make folly appear otherwise.

would you classify sexual abuse as one of the freedoms a person free of all limitations can INFLICT on another..
There are energetic and sexual truths that we can miss without an element of control in our folley...
It doesnt do to just explode in all directions..
you first need a TUBE to represent the passage of time..
then you must block off the second just past to denote the past and future accordingly..
then you must place your blockage to power in the way of your future..
then when you explode you can at least shoot yourself in the foot..
and prove you have an effect on your life with your endless bullshit!
