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!



I dont...or havent yet.  I have just begun a new focus on my health and started doing yoga again.  I tried that movement last night from the video.  I am going to do a few more tonight.  I am not wanting to rush over anything so I am going slow so I can intergrate it into my life.  I am also doing some breathing exercises and taking some steps to rebuild my adrenal health.

Whenever I can remember to, I also call or shout Intent in dreaming...with my intent to connect to 'Intent'.

Because we are less stuck by beliefs in dreaming, this does marvels!
Awesome!

The first few passes in the intent series focus on the adrenals. (second section maybe?)  Also try Qi Gong for strengthening adrenals!

Oh awesome...thanks! I will.

well let's see if you can follow this, ok?   you can't take something false and make it into some true.   it's just not possible.   and you can't
suddenly add your special intent to something that is false either.   Why is that?   Because the god inside of you just doesn't work that way.
since all of us are gods,  (not THE god) this is is how we operate.    All you can do is submit to this power,  you don't get to make your
own power that goes against nature.   it won't work no matter how many books you write.   so here is how it works,  ready?:
         "The real is that which is true and not false.   Every person has a true heart.   If the true heart strays, however, then it becomes
         untrue to its own nature.   Every person has a true intention.   But if the true intention strays, it becomes untrue to its own nature.
         Every person has a true feeling.   When the true feeling strays from the original nature, it becomes untrue.   An intention that
         originates from the true heart is true intention.   The intention that is calculating and scheming is untrue.   A feeling that originates
         from the true heart is true feeling.   Feeling that has self-importance in it is untrue.     What is the true heart???    The true heart is
         original nature.    The true heart tends toward goodness.   Feeling and intention originate from the heart.  IF the heart is true,
         the feeling and intention will be true.   Cultivating the true heart is cultivating original nature.    Original nature is the manifestation
         of the natural way of Heaven.   Many who claim to cultivate the Tao still possess egotistical thoughts.     Where there is ego,
         the true heart cannot emerge.   It is only in stillness and the absence of craving the original  nature can be cultivated.   Those who seek
         the Tao must begin with knowing the difference between true and untrue feeling,  true and untrue intention.   If you know the
         difference, then you will know the true heart.  Intention and feeling can be known by observing the behavior in your daily life.
         IF your actions are not sincere, then true feeling is absent.   If your words are false, then true intention is absent.  (you got nothing)
         If you want to cultivate the Tao you must eradicate attachments that lead true intention and true feeling astray.   Let original nature
         rather than your ego guide your actions.   Do not waver in your pursuit of goodness.   Then, your true heart, true feeling, and true
         intention will emerge and you will not be far from the Tao.   These are the teachings of the real truth."
From this you begin to see how idiotic it would be to try to manufacture some bull$hit "intent".   It's just not possible.   It will laff at you
if you try.   You can't fool yourself, no matter what.   And don't listen to other people who *think* they know the way of intent.
Your wasting your time by trying to force a bull$hit intent or intention, especially if it is from a known bull$hitter.   Got it?

[scout1]

You made that bullshit in your head by yourself Energy :-)



Castaneda is only literature, inspiration, techniques, possibilities.



And people hate Castaneda just only because he pointed the possibilities.



Some people got injured in that, especially people like Energy on Sustained board who got mindfuck in their guru obsession with Castaned and now they need deprogramming like the Energy showed :-)

[BarefootInTheSand]

I see it something similar to that also.



Two forces or motivations in us...one that is true which all people have and one that allows for intents that are false...or not true to our nature. We are given these intents from everyone around us. The importance of going to school to get good grades and earn lots of money as given to us by our parents. The importance of conforming as given to us by our teachers. The importance of fitting in as given to us by our peers. None of these other intents have anything to do with our true natures.



The true nature of people has its own force and tries to shine through despite obsticals. Like the old lady with all the cats. Our true nature motivates us...and we motivate ourselves with the intents given to us by others. These two are in conflict until one can begin to grasp their own true nature. The effort to grasp ones own nature isnt found by looking at others natures...or by taking on their intents.



I believe that Castaneda was just a man and his books were just books. His followers subjugated their own power to view him as more powerful than they were. The power they gave him corrupted him as it would corrupt any man (or woman). He became corrupted.



I believe his followers were also just people...that in a group are subject to the Genovese Effect.



I believe that both of these pathologies are deeply ingrained in the human psyche and that it takes a tremendous effort to identify it, to deal with it objectively and to override it.



Although it will make me unpopular with anti-cultists who believe that they were victims...I believe that they both fed each other...and that it is a vicious cycle.

Imo anything that detracts one from their true nature is ones personal challenge to overcome.

I get suck on the words "true nature" here.

What words would you like? Perhaps you can describe how it sticks for you?



A health and wellbeing and gardening example.



Alot of what society has come to see as normal regarding ones health and wellbeing...obesity, heart disease, diabetes, hormonal imbalances and autoimmune disorders can be traced back to the foods that are available to eat. These conditions arent normal. Nor are they what nature intended. Nature created a land rich in food that contained all the nutrients one would ever need to support perfect health and wellbeing. However, man intended something else...man intended to do something different than nature intended. As commercialisim grew farmers had to change how they farmed to keep up. No longer was mans mind on growing nutrient rich food for peoples health and wellbeing. Now mans mind was on how to grow more food in less space...how to have bugs eat less of their crop...and how to make the food last longer once it was picked so it could be shipped across country. This seemed ok...nothing wrong with that. Neither the farmer nor mankind noticed the growing separation between what nature intended and what they were doing. Fast forward to the present day and mankinds health is falling apart at increasingly younger ages. Mankind, however, now unaware of the extent of their disconnection from natures intent...just thinks this is normal. I dont believe that the decline of mankinds health was mankinds intent, however, it is the result of the kind of distraction mankinds intent offers us from natures intent. I value knowing the distinction.



My personal challenge to overcome this separation is present in my garden each year. At first when I was learning how to garden I listened and read what I could find and tried it. At first it seemed good enough. However, my vegetables were not as tasty as I remembered from my mothers garden when I was a kid. Indeed they were not even any better tasting than the ones in the grocery store. It almost caused me to give up gardening. Before I could go on I had to accept that sometimes even organic fertilizer often isnt all that its claimed to be. As I separated myself from all the hype about organic gardening and really thought about the foods I was growing (mostly hybridized seeds) and about the growing decline of health I had to confront the connection...and also the connection to my inner personal work as I often think about things as I garden. My understanding was realizing how far away from nature this has all become...how far from the days when one just dug up soil and planted a seed.



For this coming year I am ordering some non-hybrid seeds...seeds from foods the way nature intended those foods to be. I am composting instead of buying organic fertilizer. My desire is to get back as close as I can to the way nature intended my garden and myself to be.



For me this is the difference between our created nature and our true nature. For me there is value in separating the two natures because it helps me to stay clear about what I want to align myself to and not become distracted.

  I suppose its the word 'true'.  For me, I can strip myself down many layers, each time getting to what could be considered my true nature, but eventually what I get down to is what?  Empty, nothing?  Is that my true nature?  Or when do I stop stripping down?

CONTRAINDICATION



==================





No. Its only misunderstanding. teknical one. based on misinformation.



a simple mistake.



nothing else.





a bad mix.



either with drugs (power plants or stimulants)



or with tensegrity.





CONTRAINDICATION

[scout1]

and yes



"when i practiced tensegrity.. I became victim of energetic attatchment to members of cleergreen.."



look at the definition of tensegrity... it has such contributing effect of distribution/ that means in the community "that we are"



contribution so its dispersed in the community "that we are"



Notice that the passes were personal originally, and they make it to generic (read the commentaries on the series) and this are specific series





---



so only the video III is an example of inscectoid form





---



we should not be hysterical



Must see my friend on that soon

"The book was so NOT Castaneda."



NOT, Thats the problem with ancient mexico and everything



NLW quote



When I first encountered the Magical passes I was quite put off. Often I wonder if I made a mistake and not take the passes seriously. The book was so NOT Castaneda. Experience has taught me to be more open and these days I am thinking I should reevaluate the passes.

Don Juan stressed, in every way he was able, the value of a pragmatic
attitude in order to buttress the advent of inner silence. He defined a
pragmatic attitude as the capacity to absorb any contingency that might
appear along The way. He himself was, to me, the living example of such
an attitude. There w; isn't any uncertainty or liability that his mere
presence would not dispel.



He reiterated every time he could that the effects of inner silence
were very unsettling, and that the only deterrent to this condition was
the pragmatic attitude which was the product of a superbly pliable,
agile, strong body. He said that for sorcerers, the physical body was
the only entity that made any sense to them, and that there was no such
thing as a dualism between body and mind. He further stated that the
physical body involved both the body and the mind as we knew them, and
that in order to counterbalance the physical body as a holistic unit,
sorcerers considered another configuration of energy which was reached
through inner silence: the energy body. He explained that what I had
experienced .it the moment in which I had stopped the world was the
resurgence of my energy body, and that this configuration of energy was
the one which had always been able to see energy as it flowed in the
universe.

Carlos was good.





Snows:



"I learned some passes in dreaming via some (of the) witches. I use these ones as they feel more comfortable to me, but also did the ones I learned in the book. I like how I feel after doing any of them. But I do agree, doesn't feel like Carlos at all! "

Be safe.

I have already told that tensegrity is very powerfull, dangerous tek. It should be taken very, very delicately.





Also do not take illegal or designer drugs. or i am calling DEA

Well certain body movement training certainly can shift your perception and enhance your being (even if just on a physical level ie. more stronger, flexible, quick, etc.)

"How did the old sorcerers invent those magical passes, don Juan?" I asked.



"Nobody invented them," he said sternly. "To think that they were
invented implies instantly the intervention of the mind, and this is not
the case when it comes to those magical passes. They were, rather,
discovered by the old shamans. I was told that it all began with the
extraordinary sensation of well-being that those shamans experienced
when they were in shamanistic states of heightened awareness. They felt
such tremendous, enthralling vigor that they struggled to repeat it in
their hours of vigil.



"At first," don Juan explained to me once, "those shamans believed that
it was a mood of well-being that heightened awareness created in
general. Soon, they found out that not all the states of shamanistic
heightened awareness which they entered produced in them the same
sensation of well-being. A more careful scrutiny revealed to them that
whenever that sensation of well-being occurred, they had always been
engaged in some specific kind of bodily movement. They realized that
while they were in states of heightened awareness, their bodies moved
involuntarily in certain ways, and that those certain ways were indeed
the cause of that unusual sensation of physical and mental plenitude."



Don Juan speculated that it had always appeared to him that the
movements that the bodies of those shamans executed automatically in
heightened awareness were a sort of hidden heritage of mankind;
something that had been put in deep storage to be revealed only to those
who were looking for it. He portrayed those sorcerers as deep-sea
divers who, without knowing it, reclaimed it.



Don Juan said that those sorcerers arduously
began to piece together some of the movements they remembered. Their
efforts paid off. They were capable of re-creating movements that had
seemed to them to be automatic reactions of the body in a state of
heightened awareness.



Encouraged by their success, they were capable of re-creating hundreds
of movements which they performed without ever attempting to classify
them into an understandable scheme. Their idea was that in heightened
awareness, the movements happened spontaneously; and that there was a
force that guided their effect without the intervention of their
volition."
