Tensegrity

[quantumshaman]

I see Scout1 has slipped his leash again.

[seesaw]

I practiced the series for intent quite religiously for many many years and noticed some very interesting results.



When performed i found my whole day went swimmingly. Potential issues or problems just sort of melted away. Difficult things got done. It was similar to living the entire day under the influence of luck. Like having an extraneous help that just pushed things my way, bent things to my desire.



Conversely when not performed issues were normal, pain in the arse things to be surmounted and overcome the hard way.



I actually developed a bit of an addiciton to this series as i began to associate it with luck. NOT performing them daily seemed stupid. Reality seemed to bend according to this simple decision wether to do them or not.



My latest exploration of this series involves dropping ideas or intentions into me as i perform them. I want to know if intent can be focussed and directed magically by using these movements.

[Uncle Sam]

Yes thats true. It has this quality, "intent series", exactly as CC wrote it.



quote: Shamans consider these magical passes to be essential for daily living, because for them, life is ruled by intent. This set of magical passes is perhaps for shamans what a cup of coffee is for modern man: The slogan of the day, "I am not myself until I drink my cappuccino," or the slogan of a past generation, "I am not awake until I drink my cup of Java," is rendered for them as "I am not ready for anything until I have performed these magical passes."

[Uncle Sam]

Thanks for pointing it, now we can articulate more precisely where is the problem with people doing CCs Tensegrity. and it is not CCs fault.



The problem is in not discriminating, here the different series of "magical passes" (later called "tensegrity"), what are ultimately VERY different, powerful and potentially severely dangerous exactly as me and don Juan, as we have warned you not to be reckless.



Example: "i did intent series, it is cool and now i will do the video III., because i think everything is the same"



No, not like that.



Here the discrimination applies according to facts:



1) Video I., II., III. are the ancient shamanic passes with extremely serious (and potentially extremely deleterious) consenquences in morphing energy body. also the "Code" and some other outside the MP book.



The truth is that CC was teaching freely tensegrity in 90s, tensegrity is the modificated version, but some passes are original. Those are video I., II., III. and CC presented it specially to contribute to the presentation that CC is definately NOT new age.



2) MP book content is legit, e.g. the intent series, but if one does e.g. the Westwood five concerns, one must count with the fact that those passes are original too, thus imbued with the intent



So it is not like that it is the one kungfu modification by CC, there are also the original passes ("Ancient sorcerers were shitty in doing movements" - CC)



and you must absolutely know that those original passes are dangerous, and very very deleterious for ignorant new agers

[Uncle Sam]

You have persuaded me to do "intent series" 3 times a day, until revocation

[Uncle Sam]

In fact, in the video I., there are 4 or 5 ancient passes (e.g. the antenna), the rest is tensegrity, i.e. modificated version, a sort of mix.



"Intent series" is tensegrity too, except the breaths, those are original.



Video II. are mainly ancient passes.



The video III., turning practitioners energy and energy body into insect (humans are chordata phylum, and insects are arthropoda) what is absolutely deleterious. It is a contribution to anthropology, but another direct evidence of those old seers and practices what turned them into horrible things. "Energetically Crossing from One Phylum to Another"



When don Juan told to Dreamways to never do tensegrity, he was meaning the magical passes of those old sorcerers (what is pratically everything except of intent, man and heat series, because if you do recklessly and ignorantly these ancient magical passes (and it is completely pointless to do it without recapitulation), you dont know what you are screwing with.



So there is the distinction - the MP book with the passes of the lineage where is tensegrity the modification. and the rest of the passes what can be material CC has digged on his own in his "fieldwork", the field is the shamanism of ancient mexico, what is fatally dangerous.



Don Juan told to the sorcerer to never do those ancient passes what has CC digged out, because otherwise it will eat the energy body, true story.



Don Juan was never teaching these ancient magical passes of ancient shamans (death defiers) to CC, e.g. the video I., II. or III. or the Code.

[Uncle Sam]

I must warn you that CC has not invented anything, especially as to the old toltec sorcery and ancient shamanism, e.g. death defiers. Dreamways was documenting on his website nagual.yuku.com



Those original ancient passes are morphing energy body of practitioners by default intent of those ancient practitioners.



This is a fact that this Nagualism is with flavour of ancient toltec sorcery and ancient shamanism.



The point is not to combine it.

[Uncle Sam]

We all have dreaming bodies, but we dont bother to use them (to focus intent), or we dont have energy and health for it.



The point is that to be control of energy body is not reserved to toltecs. Also the eastern practices (India and China), without the deleterious background ancient Mexican influence.



The recapitulation is general practice, non-restricted.



To do recapitulation is personal intent. The recapitulation is present in Yoga too. Recapitulation is general energetic process, as an energetic fact.



the Recapitulation is the practice.



People cant dream consciously because of heavy emotional loads unsolved by recapitulation.

"Those without enough discipline, will perish in this intent." - Carlos Castaneda, 1992





Nagual was meaning this.





CC has warned you. DJ has warned you. i have warned you.





You have been warned.

[Uncle Sam]

I asked him where he had learned the magical passes.



He answered:



"They are the heritage of the ancient seers."



At that time, he was not much seen in public. But, little by little, his secrecy had become less

rigid, and large groups of people began to approach him. As he began to teach the passes in

public, Carlos began to change them somewhat, making them more complicated and dividing

them into categories. He ended up giving them a name taken from architecture: Tensegrity,

which, he told us, was the combination of two terms, tension and integrity.

From the very first, there were some detractors, resentful people who - without stopping to

appreciate the practical side of these exercises - began to spread the word that the nagual had

just invented them.

When I mentioned that I was worried about this, he was firm:

"Tensegrity is my intent! A nagual has authority, and this is my gift to the world.

"Don Juan and his warriors taught their apprentices many specific movements which filled us

with energy and well-being, and helped free us from the yoke of the foreign mind. My role

has been to modify them slightly, taking them out of the sphere of the personal and adapting

them to people in general, so that they become useful to other groups of practitioners."

He told me that the method he had chosen in the beginning, of teaching the magical passes in

a limited form, was in certain ways a failure, since those who were moved to practice them

were too few to accumulate enough 'energetic mass'. So, in this new phase, he had created a

system able to impact on the awareness of multitudes.

"My cohorts and I will open a great door in the energy. That fissure is so powerful that it will

last for ages, and those who approach it to look inside will be swallowed to another world.

With Tensegrity, what I seek is to train those who are interested so that they can support that

transition. Those who don't have enough discipline, will perish in the intent.

"The plan of disclosing the teachings is the summary of thirty years of practices and

experiments. As a man and as a nagual, I have done as much as I have been able to do to

make it work, because I know that the collective mass of many warriors can cause a

commotion in the modality of our time."

The End Of The Lineage



On various occasions, Carlos affirmed that Don Juan Matus1 lineage ended with him. But

when I wanted to know more about it, he insisted that, for now, he could not give me any

more details.

"I can't know exactly what the design of power will be; who am I to determine something like

that? I know the traditional form of the lineage which I belong to ends with me, but whether a

new format will continue into the future or not is something that is determined by a superior

force."

He told me he had spent years waiting for signs of continuity - concretely, a person that had

the luminous characteristics to be the new nagual - but those signs didn't appear.

Consequently, he had decided to act in an impeccable way, as if he were the last nagual on

earth. From that came his urgency to tell everything.

CC has warned you. DJ has warned you. i have warned you.

You have been warned.
Why are you starting up again with this?  You posted almost the same thing not very long ago, and this conversation ran its course.  If you're afraid of Tensegrity, don't do it.  Personally, I don't think it's dangerous, but I also don't think it has much if anything to do with "the path", other than maybe good exercise. So what?  Same thing as worrying about a rogue comet that may hit the earth.  Nothing you can do about it, so get over it.
And to try to claim don Juan told you so... is just an attempt to put some weight behind what is clearly nothing more than your own personal opinion.
Instead of worrying about tensegrity and flyers, what might happen if you simply dropped all your fear and stood face to face with the infinite?  I predict your view and your experience would improve a thousand-fold.
Quantum Shaman - July 15, 2012
   If you're gonna keep reincarnating and repeating your same insane yada, I'm going to start copying and pasting what I said to you over a year ago... and a year before that.  Why are you so completely obsessed with Tensegrity? 
I told you 2 years ago that when you get "out of control" with your posts, you can count on me to kick you until you come to your senses.
Consider this the first kick.  Heh.

[Uncle Sam]

This is how they have hooked you seesaw, with "intent series". Now you want more.



QS: this must be some mistake QS. perhaps error in seeing ? .)

[Uncle Sam]

I have found something for you seesaw. This is finally the solution for your long term problems and dilemma. I know very well what is tantalizing you .)



Start to practice the Heat series quite fervently and you will see the game changer. (also that Zazen daily recommendation.. that was the best advice in the entire universe you have ever get seesaw)



Here is it explained:



"Why did they want to change it, don Juan?" I asked.



"Because the predominant circular motion of the right body's energy , is too friggin boring!" he exclaimed. "That circular motion certainly takes care of any event of the daily world, but it does it circularly, if you know what I mean."



"I do not know what you mean, don Juan," I said.



"Every situation in life is met in this circular fashion," he replied, making a small circle with his hand. "On and on and on and on and on. It is a circular movement that seems to draw the energy inward always, and turns it around and around in a centripetal motion. Under these conditions, there is no expansion. Nothing can be new. There is nothing that cannot be inwardly accounted for. What a drag!"

This is the fissure with magical passes and tensegrity, into cleargreen, the color of ancient mexico.



No problem with it, only if a tensegrity, shaman practitioner can discriminate.

[Uncle Sam]

Dreamways has just seen some death defiers (those are sorcerers cca 8000 BC- 500 BC), who are insects, to do their "tensegrity". just FYI the video III. is their practice. e.g. to do video III. only because to get some feeling is huge mistake, because it is morphing energy body you dont see it, but you feel some "weird" feeling.

[Uncle Sam]

shortly, magical passes outside the MP book are extremely dangerous. also Tensegrity without recapitulation is dangerous.



from the ancient shamanism, to old seers, to toltecs, new seers and modern seers, i have studied these distinctions.



CCs Tensegrity is composite influenced by the ancient intent.





The reserved approach to Tensegrity is only the MP book, or, to not practice videos I., II., III. and other ancient passes, e.g. the code.



If you want to follow the path of freedom, do not mess yourself (your energy body) with the ancient passes.



Once again, if somebody wants to free oneself, the practice is: Recapitulation.

[Uncle Sam]

MP by CC is excellent book, especially the explanations by CC (e.g. on recapitulation). CCs work as to the contribution is the most important paradigm since 0 A.D.

[glance left]

I really enjoy Tensegrity, when I feel compelled to execute it...even those from the videos, my favorite of which is The Antenna. I had a marvelous shared dreaming experience with a friend after performing that pass in dreaming early one morning. I haven't felt anything of the extreme danger described here. To me, the most dangerous thing I'm facing is that thing that drains my resolve. Tensegrity and other movements I enjoy performing help to counter that force, I've found

[Mornings Son]

I have always felt that there was something fishy to Tensegrity. Just the name stinks to me..

Have tried a little out, the sable tooth of intent.. well did a little and it felt like shamanism (as in animal spirit lending your body) meeting kung fu tiger style.

Not bad because affinity for big cats ))

But it never really inspired me like Tai chi chuan and Chi gung

[Uncle Sam]

Yes, Tensegrity and Magical Passes are Power things. It is Power danger. It is Shamanism, for shamanistic practitioners.



The danger is in morphing/influencing energy body, exactly as Don Juan Matus adviced Dreamways to not do it, as it will eat his soul (energy body, dreaming body). This is how Don Juan put it to him, and i have explained the mechanism.



An example: a rece case of subject (girl dreamer, with perfect dreaming body and abilities) did some Tensegrity and ancient passes outside MP book, including some video like (morphing into tree energy, a Tree pass), some passes of the shamans, and then the effect was:



- shift of the energy body into intent furrow line (scary dreaming then)

- imbuing energy body with it (have a look into mirror in dreaming)





Shortly, those are passes of very ancient shamans. Do not mess yourself with it, unless you are dedicated shamanistic practitioner. It is Power thing.

[Uncle Sam]

If you are a shamanistic practioner (e.g. a practitioner doing tensegrity), and not doing Recapitulation, i politely inform you, that you are DOOMED.





e.g. Recapitulate the "thing that drains my resolve".

[Mornings Son]

Uncle Sam

if you don't do recap, you are doomed or at least stucked. I get that.

What is it that Tensegrity does to you, according to your experience?

[Uncle Sam]

Tensegrity in the MP book does exactly what is written by CC in MP book.



Seesaw linked his experience to Intent series.



The another one is the Heat Series.





I have warned at two points:



1) Tensegrity without recapitulation is harmful

2) Ancient shamanic passes outside MP book (e.g. videos) (expecially without recapitulation) are even more potentially deleterious. (mechanism: imbuement into dark stream of corresponding intent)



What is fishy - the ancient magical passes of ancient shamans (power danger) are contained in tensegrity.

[Uncle Sam]

ad "thing that drains my resolve". this is primary issue for Recapitulation



but dealing with ancient passes (without Recapitulation) adds to that. that intent is making it worse. more burden.



"Those without enough discipline (Nagual means Recapitulation), will perish in this intent." - Carlos Castaneda



You are intelligent enough to understand. This is precisely the explanation.
