Obviously, what many people would like to see, is some sort of tangible link between the tonal and nagual, that does not require seeing or any ability beyond
normal reason to experience. I've spoken about this before, that the nagual needs to be discovered by men of reason in order for it t be brought into the
tonal, into the world of everyday life. The problem is, the nagual cannot be translated back into this world by seeing it, no matter how smart you are or how
hard you try, it is not possible. Instead, aspects of the the nagual need to be discovered, right in front of somebody's eyes, somebody who isn't
looking for it, but who would recognize it if they saw it. That is pretty much impossible, to do something without doing it, unless it is an accident. So, what
we are really talking about here is pure luck.
Way back in 1978, I was in college and studying psychology among other things, when I came up with a way to classify personality that had never been used
before. I tinkered with it for many years, as a hobby, and when I got my first personal computer around in the 90s (a Mac) I used my theory to create a
computational database to at least be able to find correlations between it and anything else. Long story short, after all those years of work, I only found
one use for it, it could calculate if you were a "dreamer" or a "stalker." Back in the early days of the Tensegrity seminars, I shared it
with many people, and I had simply intended to sell the software on the internet. Then I figured out that it didn't really need a computer, just a simple
set of questions on paper would suffice. But, back then, there was way too much noise being made about Castaneda, Scientology and cults, it was not really a
good time to roll it out something that had to do with personality analysis, in my opinion. So, I packed everthing into a box and left it there for about 15
years. I would have left it there for another 15 years if it wasn't for the fact, that with all the complications of diabetes that I have to contend with,
I don't believe my chances of living that long are very good. So, it's not because I feel that this time in history is the "right time" or
something to do this, it's just the pressure of mortality. I'm not sure exactly in what form I will make it available, I am working on that issue
right now.
