IT is VERY dangerous to practice tensegrity with intent as YOU WILL strike the CRUSTED UP ENERGY of not just your own but also your fellow sorcerers as we all STRIVE to find the infinite gap to freedom...LOCKED in the same BATTLEGROUND
EVERY person who practices tensegrity WILL through the CULTISH nature of the magical passess.. be in an energetic singularity with the other practitioners.. regardless of wether those practitioners are immpeccable or sorceric, greedy or maliscious.. The plain and simple fact is that less powerful or inexperienced energetic warriors who practice tensegrity.. CAN become energeticly LOCKED in the same BATTLEGROUND as both CLEERGREEN and MAVERICK practitioners.. Some of these poor little bunny rabbits will lose personal power.. In a non ritualistic universe.. the natural enemies find their own position with the individual.. but tensegrity opens the option.. of young practitioners still battling fear.. LOSING POWER to those who have completed fear training or losing power to non immpeccable practitioners who are themselves losing against oldage or power..... AS i said before.. when i practiced tensegrity.. I became victim of energetic attatchment to members of cleergreen..

then use intent for it not to be so...'dangerous' let spirit guide as in everything else..if the magical passes are brought to you ..maybe its time for you to face your 'dangers'.? and the gap, and freedom are always present..being it is the key allowing it to be received ....if you used this intent in usage with the passes, then you would bypass the intent of owning..power and lock to the freedom of being, which is the unowned and uninhibited flow of power...energy is just energy...if your intent is firm enough you can learn alot through the passes.... EVERY person who practices tensegrity WILL through the CULTISH nature of the magical passess.. be in an energetic singularity with the other practitioners.. regardless of wether those practitioners are immpeccable or sorceric, greedy or maliscious.. im sorry your CULTISH word made me giggle....is all form of movement cultish?...the tap dancing 'cult' or the modern 'jazz cult'...is walking cultish? this is a perception maybe based on your own experiences but its hardly a fact. and as for being connected to all sorcerors,....this is so, at some level anyway..better for it to be known than unknown imo. The plain and simple fact is that less powerful or inexperienced energetic warriors who practice tensegrity.. CAN become energeticly LOCKED in the same BATTLEGROUND as both CLEERGREEN and MAVERICK practitioners..IT is VERY dangerous to practice tensegrity with intent as YOU WILL strike the CRUSTED UP ENERGY of not just your own but also your fellow sorcerers as we all STRIVE to find the infinite gap to freedom...LOCKED in the same BATTLEGROUND battleground?... the only battleground is for power and not freedom..choose freedom therefore no battle..if you start decrusting their 'need for power' you may haveto do the passes more regularly so they dont mess with ya....lol. its about discipline of focus. and being quite honest this is a negative affirmation most young energy warriors dont know about these groups and therefore if they have seen the book would only connect mentally with CC or any of the persons within the book..and they are not about to take you down a wrong path. Spirit only gives you what you can handle..the challenge as a warrior is to overcome these battles and become impecceble..you cant to that without actually coming across obstacles huh? Some of these poor little bunny rabbits will lose personal power.. and? better go and find it again then huh? In a non ritualistic universe.. the natural enemies find their own position with the individual.. but tensegrity opens the option.. of young practitioners still battling fear.. LOSING POWER to those who have completed fear training or losing power to non immpeccable practitioners who are themselves losing against oldage or power..... although impeccable myself with my usage of the passes ( i was practicing them in trance under spirits instructions, before i knew of the book) there are many sorcerors who wish to syphon power off of others..they surround us all the time, they dont have to be doing magical passes. some sorcerers just have found that gap of 'no rules' and have focused on power rather than freedom..youre gonna have to deal with them any ways.....better to know how to cultivate your energy... in that case...good excuse to do the passes if you ask me... AS i said before.. when i practiced tensegrity.. I became victim of energetic attachment to members of cleergreen.. may i ask what you learned by this, within? and maybe you'd like to share what you did about it, so no one has to fear any more, because through your experience, they may have an easier journey by knowing what to do if the worst happens.... xx

you can only try the effect by practicing according to tensegrity book intent and see the effect..
from my experiment, it burts energy thru you if you are not physically mentally balanced, not good idea, do yoga asana and zazen instead and you can try recapitulation or even better to live moraly because virtue IS the personal power.. forget Power of Will, thats satanic/ you have your own human spirit connected to Great Spirit, say no to the devils (flyers), no demons and cultish ****.

My favourute move is that ENERGY CUBE fist thing.. where you move your arms like you are hand planing a piece of wood.. only jolt energty forward to strike the crusted up energy beyond your hands.. My only fear as with all martial arts as well.. is that the popularity of the moves means non-violent people can lose energy tey never would have expended through shared emotional structure within practitioners... I dont like the idea that violently minded or selfish people intially have the upper hand in power battles until the test of immpecability is met which can take fifteen to twenty years to be judged,

Personally i found that practcing tensegrity passes moves my perception to some quite funky places.
Its a bit like taking drugs, take as much or as little as you want, its your awareness you are playing with.

the trouble with such a group format is that the power of the group is beginning to show different energy patterns to the habitual position.. This is a far cry from an individual lost inside the chaos being fluid!
Atlantis fell because it declared itself wise people on an earth inhabited by savages! The spirit god ATL' dispersed their civilisation.. This will be a goodtime to see which of the many moves is truly immpeccable

its a difficult concept to explain.. "the sabotage" of your own competancy.. But this is the position of warrior....
It is as if you as a hunter can see all the pains and tribulations in your prey as you see them in all their humanity.. and that the position of warrior is to be SEEN in the same way by the nagual.. It is a most unconfortable feeling... to feel hunted by a preditory force is quite humbling.. particularly when the energy it targets are petty fears and discomforts within social conditioning... the saving grace is that a warrior who experiences such a teaching also has the "potential "patterns in his energy impacted and not just the "residual failings".. AS such warriorship exposes new energy as well as casting light on the disabling force of time!

"The classifications of the shamans of ancient Mexico," don Juan
replied, "were more profound than the conclusions of modern scientists, because they stemmed from perceiving energy directly as it flows in the universe. When the human body is perceived as energy, it is utterly patent that it is composed not of two parts, but of two different types of energy: two different currents of energy, two opposing and at the same nine complementary forces that coexist side by side, mirroring, in this fashion, the dual structure of everything in the universe at large." The shamans of ancient Mexico accorded each-one of these two different kinds of energy the stature of a total body, and spoke exclusively in terms of the left body and the right body. Their emphasis was on the left body, because they considered it to be the most effective, in terms of the nature of its energy configuration, for the ultimate goals of shamanism. The shamans of ancient Mexico, who depicted the two bodies as streams of energy, depicted the left stream as being more turbulent and aggressive, moving in undulating ripples and projecting out waves of energy. When illustrating what he was talking about, don Juan asked me to visualize a scene in which the left body was like half of the sun, and that all the solar flares happened on that half. The waves of energy projected out of the left body were like those solar flares - always perpendicular to the round surface from which they originated. He depicted the stream of energy of the right body as not being turbulent at all on the surface. It moved like water inside a tank which was being slightly tilted back and forth. There were no ripples in it, but a continuous rocking motion. At a deeper level, however, it swirled in rotational circles in the form of spirals. Don Juan asked me to envision a very wide, peaceful-looking tropical river, where the water on the surface seemed barely to move, but which had shattering riptides below the surface. In the world of everyday life, these two currents are amalgamated into a single unit: the human body as we know it. To the eye of the seer, however, the energy of the total body is circular. This meant to the sorcerers of don Juan's lineage that the right body was the predominant force... The predominance of the right body is an energetic predominance, which was encountered by the shamans of those ancient times. They never tried to explain why this predominance happened in the first place, nor did they try to further investigate the philosophical implications of it. For them, it was a fact, but a very special fact. It was a fact that could be changed." "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 don't 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's 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's no expansion. Nothing can be new. There is nothing that cannot be inwardly accounted for. What a drag!" "In what way can this situation be changed, don Juan?" I asked. "It's too late to be really changed," he replied. "The damage is already done. The spiral quality is here to remain. But it doesn't have to be ceaseless. Yes, we walk the way we do, we can't change that, but we would also like to run, or to walk backward, or to climb a ladder; just to walk and walk and walk and walk is very effective, but meaningless. The contribution of the left body would make those centers of vitality more pliable. If they could undulate instead of moving in spirals, if only for an instant, different energy would get into them, with staggering results." I understood what he was talking about, at a level beyond thought, because there was really no way that I could have understood it linearly. "The sensation that human beings have of being utterly bored with themselves," he continued, "is due to this predominance of the right body. The only thing left for human beings to do, in a universal sense, is to find ways of ridding themselves of boredom. What they end up doing is finding ways of killing time: the only commodity no one has enough of. But what's worse is the reaction to this unbalanced distribution of energy. The violent reactions of people are due to this unbalanced distribution. It seems that from time to time, helplessness builds furious currents of energy within the human body, which explode in violent behavior. Violence seems to be, for human beings, another way of killing time." "But why is it, don Juan, that the sorcerers of ancient Mexico never wanted to know why this situation happened?" I asked, bewildered. I found what I was feeling about this inward motion to be fascinating. "They never tried to find out," he said, "because the instant they formulated the question, they knew the answer." "So they knew why?" I asked. "No, they didn't know why, but they knew how it happened. But that's another story." He left me hanging there, but throughout the course of my association with him, he explained this seeming contradiction. "Awareness is the only avenue that human beings have for evolution... Don Juan described our evolutionary possibility as a journey that our awareness takes across something the shamans of ancient Mexico called the dark sea of awareness: something which they considered to be an actual feature of the universe, an incommensurable element that permeates the universe, like clouds of matter, or light. Don Juan was convinced that the predominance of the right body in this unbalanced merging of the right and left bodies marks the interruption of our journey of awareness. What seems for us to be the natural dominance of one side over the other was, for the sorcerers of his lineage, an aberration, which they strove to correct. Those shamans believed that in order to establish a harmonious division between the left and the right bodies, practitioners needed to enhance their awareness. Any enhancement of human awareness, however, had to be buttressed by the most exigent discipline. Otherwise, this enhancement, painfully accomplished, would turn into an obsession, resulting in anything from psychological aberration to energetic injury. Don Juan Matus called the collection of magical passes which deal exclusively with the separation between the left body and the right body The Heat Group: the most crucial element in the training of the shamans of ancient Mexico. This was a nickname given to this collection of magical passes because it makes the energy of the right body a little more turbulent. Don Juan Matus used to joke about this phenomenon, saying that the movements for the left body put an enormous pressure on the right body, which has been accustomed from birth to ruling without opposition. The moment it is faced with opposition, it gets hot with anger. Don Juan urged all his disciples to practice the Heat Group assiduously, in order to use its aggressiveness to reinforce the weak left body. "Magical Passes: The Practical Wisdom of the Shamans of Ancient Mexico" Surely anyone truly interested in Nagualism would not ignore this, the 'most crucial element in the training of the shamans of ancient Mexico'...

Don Juan was convinced that the predominance of the right body in this unbalanced merging of the right and left bodies marks the interruption of our journey of awareness. What seems for us to be the natural dominance of one side over the other was, for the sorcerers of his lineage, an aberration, which they strove to correct. Those shamans believed that in order to establish a harmonious division between the left and the right bodies, practitioners needed to enhance their awareness. Any enhancement of human awareness, however, had to be buttressed by the most exigent discipline. Otherwise, this enhancement, painfully accomplished, would turn into an obsession, resulting in anything from psychological aberration to energetic injury. Don Juan Matus called the collection of magical passes which deal exclusively with the separation between the left body and the right body The Heat Group: the most crucial element in the training of the shamans of ancient Mexico. This was a nickname given to this collection of magical passes because it makes the energy of the right body a little more turbulent. Don Juan Matus used to joke about this phenomenon, saying that the movements for the left body put an enormous pressure on the right body, which has been accustomed from birth to ruling without opposition. The moment it is faced with opposition, it gets hot with anger. Don Juan urged all his disciples to practice the Heat Group assiduously, in order to use its aggressiveness to reinforce the weak left body. "Magical Passes: The Practical Wisdom of the Shamans of Ancient Mexico" Surely anyone truly interested in Nagualism would not ignore this, the 'most crucial element in the training of the shamans of ancient Mexico'...

imo, the magical passes (in alignment with INTENT -impeccability) must be what separates the "burning with the Fire from Within" death defiers from those spiritual traditions whose practicioners still experience ordinary mortal death like the average person.
Yes, we talk the way we do, we can't change that, but we would also like to sing, or rap, or chant, or stop the inner talk; just to talk and talk and talk and talk is very effective, but meaningless.

Really really nice posts.
Certainly a good reminder that inspires me to dust off my 'dance steps'. I have spent a little time pondering 'burning from within' myself. I dont know if its the movements which enable us to burn from within. IMO its is merely the fact that we have moved our awareness to numerous numerous tracks. To experience as much and as widely as possible. The fact that so many divergent areas have had our awareness light them up at various times in our life allows us the possibility of bringing them all online together in one instant. An instantenous recapitulation where all the tracks of awareness come online at once and the 'rip' as awareness flashes across these continues to adjacent tracks. In fact it continues across all the emanations held within the human coccoon. What this can be like is just beyond what my head can concieve of. I know that a few buddhist schools refers to people achieving the' rainbow body' just before dissappearing. No idea if its the same thing. Its just the only other thing ive heard about where people leave here without dying. And what exactly was Christs ascencion? Is it possible it too was burning from within? Didn't some of his disciples also enter the same experience a short time later ? Seems a mighty familar pattern playing itself out. Speculation speculation speculation. Like you said above its a just a spiral of energy. Time to do the heat series again. Thanks.

Well, have you dusted off your dance steps yet, seesaw?
I wanted to add to this thread that, I've been doing passes and by far... by far, my fave pass is the one where you run your hands together till they get hot and then disperse that energy over your head. I can get a link to the youtube if anyone is interested. It's in the Intent Series.

Welcome! I don't know if you do the passes or not, but if you do, I also recommend the rest of the intent series, the womb passes, but instintively back away from the insect-looking moves. Yuck! |
