Trying to chip away a little more on creeping self-importance.  Found this link, the complete interview of the sorceresses.  Included a small part.http://www.spiritualrealist.com/MINDFIR ... NT%201.asp

A B E: So you don’t want to build up an image of yourself, even as a spiritual person?
TA I S H A A: No, you don’t want to add to that, and when you look at how much you have to get rid of, you’ll be kind of careful not to add more. [ And that’s where impeccability comes in. You want to maintain your daily behavior on an impeccable level, and that means you just do your humble best. We’re no longer interested in reasserting the ego or the self, or defending the self. The brunt of our daily energy really goes into defense of the self because it’s attacked left and right, and the mind rallies like lightning to try to patch up the ego’s wounds. But the sorcerer lets it go. Don Juan had a good adage. He said, “Eliminate the self and fear nothing.” If you don’t have a self, there’s absolutely nothing to fear, because all of our fears and disappointments come from our idea of the self, whether positive or negative.
So the only thing that the modern sorcerer or stalker is really dependent on is something so abstract that he calls it the Spirit, the Unknown. By getting rid of the self, they give the self to the Eagle as a token. They give themselves in a symbolic death, and in that sense the Eagle, they say, allows the impeccable warrior to escape

Nice, I haven't read this particular interview before, although I have read all the witch's work. I know what that just pointed out to me. I always resist the recapitulation, I need to get back to work on that.

[delawaredan]

This last full moon really helped me in my task of recapitulation. I too relaized I need to work on it!

[dreamgirl]

I jumped into it this morning, there is actually a lot of reward for just a little effort. I am glad you are feeling it too delawaredan.

Thanks for the link.

An unexpected effect of the recapitulation is that it helps you dream better...at first you go back into your personal history using your memory but once you get used to the energetic aspect, you are going there with your energy body and get used to going back and forth so your assemblage point is becoming more flexible.

[Cedar Waxwing]

Thanks fabs. Glad to know what to work on to make dreaming more expansive. These are things we know, but forget the connection. Flexibility of the assemblage point opens up so much.

Yes...I've rekindled my recapitulation as well....with just a few sessions, I can feel buoyant, surging energy flooding into my being.



Booyah!

Booyah!
It seems to be the theme of the day.  Most every warrior I speak to (Or read of) this past week or so is talking about the recapitulation.  I guess that's my cue! (thank you Spirit)

Same here: started erasing personal history again.

A funny thing, for me, when I set the intent to recap, people come forth from my past, all lined up neatly in a row. Must mean I'm ready, even if I don't feel like it, right?  Thank you Spirit.

[unknow]

in my case when I do recapitulation,often recapitulate a day during at night and in the morning recapitulate a person from the note or some scene form the note (like you cleaning the day,and in the morning you go where you stop the morning before when you doing recapitulation...... and my dreaming is so much beather,but sometime is to strong and many many dream but in that state I can't get lucidi...
And if some one know in wich book don huan matus explane recapitulation ( remembering that he spoke about two kind of recapitulation... )

[scout1]

In theory and praxis, if You recapitulate, after the physical body dies off, all the consciousness is withrawn to the energy body (=the body in dreaming, "soul") - and then You can remember Yourself (=energy body)... people who did not recapitulated have no memory (like in Asphodel meadows) and no control as they pass over and enter another world... and these other worlds, the next worlds, are very weird... "About Your (deceased) Johny it is very well taken care of here.." (inorganics) =))) Its called "a danger in the next world"... 90 % of buddhism is about this danger in the next world and how to stop it... so quo vadis ?

[unknow]

Inorganic you said,Yes have a expiriance whit them lately,and in the past one year, yes it like wanna dive whit them,becouse sorcery is anorganic 8something like that8 but .... It is good to recapitulate dreams?

[dreamgirl]

Unknow.nagual, about recapping dreams, I have lately gotten certain people and situations appearing in my dreaming, upon reflection of my dream, I know that I am to recap the situation or person. For me it is just a feeling that I have to recap them, an immediate knowing. So I do think that using dreaming to guide you in what to recap is a useful tool, however just recapping whole dreams, just to get that experience out of you is a technique that I have not heard recommended.

[scout1]

"Inorganic".. its called only because Carlos Castaneda had a Ph.D. in antropology, and also a malovolent sense of humour. Those "inorganics" are a broad family of demons, hell beings, ghosts etc etc.. and also the inorganic beings in the higher realms.. inorganic beings simply have no physical body.

[unknow]

Well yes is a preaty scary to ordinery people I have notice that,before didin't know that,but it like they helping me to awake in my dream,like they questening me about how I get lucid what I do for my lucidi and on... Ok... sometimes I can't stop thinking about them even when I stop thinking about them I called them,maybe becouse wanna go whit them,becouse they energy,to see a world beyond human bands... What do you think is the best to do whit them in every day world... scout1... and you'r name it is preaty scary thank you dreamgirl,u gave me a new matirial for using in recap,sometime I dream a my old friend but never know why,now know...

[scout1]

Unknown: it is interesting, and very rare.. if You can get to the realm past the 3rd and 4th gate of dreaming, You can enjoy it, because it is very rare, such an adventure has a great value. I was very interested in this, but i have missed it, because i am nincompoop. But i know.. its forever ;D
