Right about...?
Just out of curiosity... what does any of this have to do w/ Carlos Castaneda?

In this pseudo-symbiotic relationship, the Flyers take the best and they give us this ****.



How true.



How devastating.



I go to talk in Mexico, and Mexicans are very strange. Charming but strange.



They have this endless talk about 'Castaneda coming, he's a vampire; he comes to suck us dry; he gets younger and we get older.' You get older because you're dumb!



The tremendous interest of sorcerers to transcend those energy boundaries that define us so totally and don't allow us any movement of energy.

That was really unfortunate.. the result of toxic datura intake, cacti and all those steaks, eggs and bacon together, too much everything.

Psychologically, since there was no rapport when I was speaking to the whole group in Spanish, I got weak talking that day. This was not because they were taking the energy. If I'm not involved in horseshit which takes 99% of my energy, then of course I have more energy. How does Castaneda take their energy, by talking to them?

Question:

Don Juan Matus describes the world as being predatory in nature, which
is at variance to perhaps all other mystical, shamanic and esoteric
traditions. Can you comment on this?



Answer:

In the tradition of the sorcerers to which don Juan belongs, it is
maintained that the universe is predatorial in nature. For sorcerers,
this is not a matter of speculation or of metaphorical predilection -
they know for a fact that it is predatorial. Throughout the ages they
have described the condition of man, which is about the bleakest
description we know. As time goes by, this description gains more and
more ground. Sorcerers say that just as we keep chickens, or gallinas in
Spanish, in a coop, or a gallinero, some entities that come from a
universe of awareness keep us in human coops. Sorcerers make a joke and
say that those entities, which they call flyers, or voladores, keep us
human beings, or seres humanos, cooped up in humaneros.



The flyers of the sorcerers' tradition are black shadows that we
sometimes detect and explain away as floaters in the retina. Sorcerers
know for a fact, by means of their capacity to see energy directly, that
those shadows are predatorial and that they keep us alive in order to
devour our awareness. Sorcerers say that our awareness is like a sheen
around our total field of energy that looks to them like a luminous
ball. To them, this sheen of awareness is like a plastic cover that
would make the luminous ball shine even more if it were not for the fact
that it has been eaten away down to the level of our heels.



Here is where the sorcerers description gets very disturbing to us;
sorcerers say that the only sheen of awareness left in us by our eaters
is the awareness of self-reflection. Therefore, all we are left with is
the concern with me, myself and I. In our personal lives we have
corroborated that the only force left in the immediate world around us
is the force of self-importance, which comes disguised in the form of
humility, compassion, altruism, kindness, you name it.



This sorcerer's description is of course our ultimate nemesis; we don't
want to believe that we are being raised for food. In this sense,
naturally, the sorcerers' tradition is at total variance with any other
kind of spiritual tradition. Sorcerers say, and believe me, not out of
cynicism, that every ideal we deal with in terms of spiritual
traditions, religions, etc, is a device concocted by the flyers to keep
us in a lull. Imagine our disquietude upon examining, weighing and
pondering this proposition.



Question:

What is the 'jump for freedom' and what is 'death' to those people who have not made this 'jump'?



Answer:

We understand that the jump to freedom is equivalent to evolving in a
premeditated way. For sorcerers, the natural reason for our lives, aside
from being eaten by the flyers, is to fend off our attackers in order
to allow our awareness to grow to its full capacity. To complete this
task is an evolutionary step which sorcerers call the jump to freedom.
We haven't reached that state so we truly don't know what it means.



Your question of what death is to people who have not made this jump can
be answered by sorcerers very simply by telling you that people who do
not allow the regrowth of awareness die by being eaten by the flyers.

The Thirty-one Planes of Existence



http://www.accesstoinsigh...f/dhamma/sagga/loka.html



The inescapable law of kamma guarantees that each and every one of our actions — whether it be of body, speech, or mind — has consequences in line with the skillfulness or unskillfulness of that action. We can often witness this process first-hand in our own lives, even if the effects may not be immediately apparent. But the Buddha also taught that our actions have effects that extend far beyond our present life, determining the quality of rebirth we can expect after death: act in wholesome, skillful ways and you are destined for a favorable rebirth; act in unwholesome, unskillful ways and an unpleasant rebirth awaits. Thus we coast for aeons through samsara, propelled from one birth to the next by the quality of our choices and our actions.

Dude, I'm goingto be unbelievably blunt here.
Karma is a program, like any other.  It is a belief system that can trap you in ITSELF.  The only karma that exists is in the here and now - and that is more along the lines of a self-fulfilling prophecy.  Drink to much and beat your wife, and chances are something "bad" is going to happen.  Not karma - just common sense.
The reason I am trying to get through to you on this is that can be your achilles heel, partially because it is such a powerful belief system that one tends to accept it as fact, when the reality is that it is every bit as fictional as the notion of being granted eternal life by believing in some guy on a gilded throne.
Believe no thing.  Follow no one.
Think for yourself, and you may begin to *see*.

The cyclical awareness in the nagual context







This is not this case QS and i have posted it seriously for non-sorcerer unbelievers, not for You.



Its not karma (kamma means action, nothing else) the concept here, the reality is called the Dependent co-arising. Look it up, its a mechanistical description of reality of consciousness.



http://en.wikipedia.org/w...t%C4%ABtyasamutp%C4%81da



And of course, you cant deny the knowledge of the Buddhadharma. That would be same as someone without knowledge denying Carlos Castaneda s knowledge.



Once again, i am not the case..





---





Example of dependent co-arising: Castanedas dogs



or a ghost of a suicider



or how an animal is born



or a human being





In the context here its called: The cyclical awareness (in the nagual)

warrior lives by his actions

[quantumshaman]

Scout 1:
You would do well to throw ALL your books in the shredder and simply observe the world through your own eyes for the span of a year.  If you can't manage an entire year (most can't), try it for a month.  Read nothing.  Don't watch the tube.  Just observe the world through YOUR eyes, without the filters of what everyone else is telling you to believe.
Think for yourself.
Until you do, you are only a transmitter of someone else's knowledge (which may or may NOT be accurate).  Helpful hint: it usually is NOT accurate in the least.
Be well.

There are as many universes as many are grains of sand in river Ganges.. and in every universe is as many beings as many are in river Ganges the grains of sand..



every being has many wishes, imaginations, intentions..



I know them all.



- Tathagata (Sakyamuni Gotama Buddha), Chakravartin

[scout1]

The warrior being is a state of awareness, its our life.


 Its not a trip to Mexico or a flight to second attention per se. But this body, this life, this world. Thats a balance. A tonal. We are taking care of our body and our soul and the adventure begins.

[scout1]

The Intent as we can feel it is a touch of Spirit, as the invigorating life-force, yet abstract, to the heart.

[scout1]

And being on itself is a completeness.



Every time.





The positive action is always possible in the now, reconnecting with the Being.

being positive to anothers benefit , serves them ,

it also serves you because it is effective at eliminating self importance , and frees up the self to be a conduit for spirit .

It is a frequency of higher being beyond base desires of self survival .

it also makes a lesser target energetically aligning with source/practice . It also has less defences energetically and provides endless proving for rebounding sound readings / fluidity .

you can get good at being available and unavailable ,



carlitos talks about stalking away from the habitual self to shift the assembledge point . That can also become habitual. The self using tools.



this selfless, stalks the self away from the self entirely . not quite selfless, entirely self aware efficiency . that is a distinction fearful to some parts which want to hold on . grasping . but grasping can also hold weight and distractions . that is for sure.



Don Juans trick was to crack the egg/birth after the reason had been sufficiently stored and sided , before total loss somehow . fascinating. nor washed clean.



As Those characters in certain books said ,Tilt of the hat , at your service ........ and the path with heart . not cranky bum sorcerers of self importance,



having lost self importance , those without having lost of course unable to help mankind , having failed to resolve the issue of self importance.
