About Carlos Castaneda

[glance left]

And speaking of "gates of dreaming"....I'm here to say, ladies and gents, that the Twin Positions dreaming technique (is that a "gate"?...can't remember) works! And I mean it works in ways that are literally mind-boggling. It comports one to a super-stable dreaming state that is unparalleled, from my meager experience. Approaching it with light hearted curiosity and respect for the joy of adventure that the spirit and energy body can bring...is highly recommended. Would shudder to think what "heavy morbidity" would bring to that kind of conscious dreaming stability

Great info!

Hello CRI and welcome to the forums.

[elguerrerodeluz]

For sure Carlos passed over to the other reality  April 27 1998, I believe he also contacted after he passed over with several persons here.
July 31 1998, (three months later) he contacted with me due an out of body experience I had, guide by my spiritual guide.
I had never heard before about Carlos, so I started a research about his live, more about his books.
He told me that we would work together in the future. No matter what kind of person he was, he is in mine part of view an Spiritual Guide, because you must have a quick spiritual development to contact with someone that never heard before of you.
Then I worked as a Security Guard and Underground Conductor at the Netherlands, and was visiting a recognized therapist and psychic.
Actually I do work as a Reiki teacher and healer for a Cancer Foundation in South Spain, as a coordinator of a group volunteers, giving Reiki to those affected, of these and other diseases.
Regards from Granada, and congratulations with your forum.
Joseph.

        This happened to me as well, before I ever read any of his books.  It led me to research the man and the path.

That is amazing, that CC would seek out the two of you. I have always been drawn to CC and his teachings. It has taken me many years of study and practice to feel the connection it appears you had so quickley. Every path is differnet, I love to hear other's stories.

I spent a lot of time reading the Gnostic Scriptures, meditating. Then I took the "Active Side of Infinity" out of the library. It felt like Carlos just reached right out of the book to touch you. I proceeded to fill out those library request forms for every book he'd written (the librarian gave me that "oh getting ready to trip" nod).



Bur that was not it at all. Read them from present to past and then in the reverse direction again. And now that I've read the roadmap.....well, what a long trip it will be. And you now know you are alone. And you will never turn back. And down the path of the warrior you navigate. As did Carlos.

Cedar Waxwing, yup, I read the books just like that and had the same realization.

I think we all understand the attributes of been in good shape, such as a good steady pulse and cleared lymph glands amongst many others. Could you explain how these attributes facilitate dreaming?

When the body is free from (energy) blockages, the dreamer is free as well.

Just meaning a good general health, i.e. a healthy nervous system and good sleep is a requisite. Many exercises help, especially yoga and martial arts. The energetic improvements (energy body) is affected by "recapitulation". ad Your question, its about brain health,  the facilitation is mainly due to acetylcholine receptors, hence the good sleep (not a shallow one + not too much stress) deep enough for a healthy and profound REM phase is here the actual and absolute neccesity. Also a good mental health, energy level etc.

Scout, I was just talking about this! (with someone else)

In the Book: Active Side Of Infinity was the final truth revealed from Castaneda which all the other books led up too. After reading this book for the first time I finally realized what the sum of all books was about. After reading this truth I reread all the books and discovered what was evident in them all but never revealed until the final book. This prompted me to eventually create this forum back in 2001.

Yes Active Side of Infinity is the one that had me really exicited about the path. It was where he reveals the secrets that were not so much secrets, but just not pointed out as clearly as this book does (the FI for example). It also testifies to how he grasped the teachings no matter how ignorant he appeared beforehand. Which he never appeared ignorant to me, all his questions were asked for good reasons...to put forth the dialog between teacher and student. The ground work for what would later be transformed. It was his journey and in beginning he was one way and at the end he was transformed to clearly convey in own words the nagual...perfectly clear and real account of his life. But oddly he did this in beginning too, according the the design it was. No other author has been able to do this, its truly amazing.

[delawaredan]

I agree that Active Side of Infinity clarifies many things.....I finished this book about 6 months ago.

Getting a feel for the experience of the Active Side of Infinty...and then, of course, remaining there LOL. That's the hard part

Thank you for expanding on your statements. Having a body that rests in its own well-being is great.

It is very exotic.. toltec sorcery

it is by electro-magnetism in the nerves in the brain, and the whole relaxed body.
if the central nervous system is not healthy one is not recalling dreams and REM sleep is damaged.
