THE RULE OF THE NAGUAL OF THREE POINTS
By: Armando Torres
INTRODUCTION
From early age, the reflexive tendency of my character leads me to look up for an explanation about who I am and which was my purpose in life. Based on this search, in certain occasion a school partner told me that Carlos Castaneda will give a private chat at one of his friend's house, and that I could come if I wanted to. I was delighted with the invitation, because there was a long time I was looking for an opportunity like this.
Castaneda was a famous anthropologist, author of several books about the old Mexican sorcerers culture. In them he tells that, still being a student at the University of California, he went to make some field work among the Yaqui Indians, in the north of Mexico, in order to learn about the medical plants that they custom to use.
In one of his trips he met an old medicine man (yerbero) that had fame of being a sorcerer who was introduced as Juan Matus. As time pass by, the old man took him as his apprentice and introduced him to a completely unknown dimension to the contemporary man: the traditional wisdom of the old Toltec seers, commonly known as witchcraft or nagualismo.
In a dozen of books, Carlos tells a teachers apprentice relationship that lasted thirteen years. In that time, it was subjected to an arduous training that took him to corroborate that stranger's culture foundations personally. The acquired experiences during his learning finished making the young anthropologist to succumb behold the knowledge fascination and was absorbed by the beliefs system that he studied. This outcome moved him away enough of his original goals.
Nagualismo was the name that the Mexican prehispanic sorcerers gave to their system of beliefs. In accordance to the history, those men were deeply interested in their relationship with the Universe, to such point that they were given to the task of investigating the limits of the perception through the use of hallucinogenic plants that allowed them to change the conscience levels. After practicing during generations, some of them learned how to see, that means, to perceive the world, not like an interpretation, but as a constant flow of energy.
The nagualism consists in a group of designed techniques to alter the daily perception, producing psychic and physical phenomena of extraordinary interest. For example, the Mexican tradition affirms that a nagual is able to become an animal, because he has learned how to dream himself in a different form as a human being. The fact behind this popular belief is that the sorcerers explore their subconscious with the one purpose of throwing light above the unknown environment of our being.
During thousands of years the nagualism was a socially accepted practice, just as among us it is the religion or science. Time past, his postulates won in abstraction and synthesis, becoming a kind of philosophical proposal, whose practitioners were called Toltecs.
The Toltecs were not commonly know as we can understand by sorcerers, this means, individuals that use supernatural forces to damage other people, but men and women extremely disciplined and interested in complex aspects of being conscious.
In his books, Carlos made an effort with a lot of talent to adapt the knowledge from the naguals to our time, taking it out from the rural atmosphere and making it accessible to people with western formation. Starting from Don Juan teachings, he defined the premises of the warrior path or the one of the impeccable behavior, consistent in control, discipline and sustained effort. Once taken inward, these principles take to the practitioner to other more complex techniques which object is to perceive the world in a new way.
Once achieved this, the student is in a position of moving trough the dreams environment in a voluntary and conscious way, just as he makes it in his daily life. This technique is supplemented with what don Juan denominated the art of stalking or the art of knowing yourself, and with a daily exercise call recapitulation, because it consists on reviewing the events of our personal history to find his hidden plot.
The dreaming and the recapitulation make possible the creation of the energetic double, a practically indestructible entity, able to act for its own.
One of the most outstanding discoveries in the Toltecs seers was that we the human beings possess a luminous configuration or an energy field surrounding our physical body. They also saw that some ones came with a special configuration divided in two parts. These ones are called naguals that means, duplicated people. For its particular conformation, the nagual has bigger resources that most people. They also saw that, because of their doubleness and exceptional energy, they are natural leaders.
Starting from these discoveries, it was unavoidable that the seers settle down according to the energy commands, organizing harmonic groups, whose participants were supplemented to each other. The warriors of these groups were committed with the search of new conscientious levels. With the time, they began to realize that, behold their practices and organization forms, there was an impersonal rule.
In this way, the rule is the design description and the media by which can gather the diverse luminous conformations of the human specie, in order to integrate a single organism denominated the naguals party. The goal of these groups is total freedom, the conscience evolution at the point of being able to travel through the cosmic energy ocean, perceiving everything that is accessible to us.
A special section of the rule that describes how the diverse generations of warriors are intertwined forming lineage exists, and how the lineage are renewed every certain time.
Carlos had the chance to live one of this renovation stages. However, he didn't understood what this meant, until he received a message that guided him to the popularization of the teaching.
When I met him, he still had a great prudence to people and he tried to stay distanced of people. Our relationship was mainly through chats that he gave to small groups and private conversations.
He demanded me to go through inadvertent in front of people in order to maintain under control my personal history. Time later, he admitted to me that, in that way it would possessed a deeper sense, because I had a commitment with the spirit and I should execute my task four years after his departure.
When I asked him the reason of that requirement, he told me that he knew that his work will be obstructed by detractors that would try to frustrate the plan designed by don Juan for a conscience revolution. My function would be to give testimony of the message that I received.
THE OMEN
In certain occasion, after giving a chat in a private room of a restaurant, where we were invited to eat, Carlos asked me to go with him to someplace else. Minutes later, we both leave, leaving the other guests in a cheerful chat.
In our road we had to cross a great avenue. Being ahead to the traffic jam, I ran to a triangular isle amid the road, believing that Carlos would follow me. But when I arrived there, I noticed that he had stayed waiting on the other side.
Then accidentally something happened; a magnificent gust of wind rushed through the avenue, so strong, that I had to hold on to a metallic post that was used as a drivers sign. Before I could protect myself, a dust cloud was introduced into my eyes and throat, making me cough and leaving me momentarily blind.
When I had recovered, Carlos was at my side, looking at me with a radiant face of joy. he clapped my back and made a very strange comment:
I already know what to do with you!
With a question mark in my face I looked at him, and he explained to me:
That was the same wind, its hunting you.
His words made me remembered the moment that I met him, when an autumnal blow had made us to close the windows of the room hastily where we were waiting for a group of friends.
In that occasion you felled it as a strong wind, but I knew that it was the spirit giving turns over your head. It was a sign, and now I know with what purpose it pointed out at you.
I asked him to explain me his enigmatic statement, but his answer was even darker:
I am heir of certain information. It is an aspect of the teaching that concerns me so deeply that even myself cannot explain it to others. It should be said through a messenger. Just a while ago, while I observed how the spirit shook you on the edge of the avenue, I knew it, that messenger is you.
I insisted him to reveal me something else, but he told me that, that was not neither the right time nor the correct place.
WHAT THE RULE IS
Time later, while we walked trough the Alamedas park, almost arriving to the Fine arts Palace, he made me signs so, we could sat down in a miraculously free bench, in a side of the square. It was a wrought iron bench. Its location, fair in front of the main door of an old church built with blocks of red and black lava, he had the virtue of blocking my internal dialogue slightly, taking me to a serenity oasis amid the car bustle and people that passed by.
For what I seen, Carlos had foreseen that impact with a didactic function. He told me that I was sitting down in Don Juans favorite bench, which moved me a lot. Rubbing his hands, he assured that it was time to get to the point.
Do you know what the rule is? -he asked me.
Although I had read something about it in one of his books, I had not understood much part of it, so I denied with the head.
He continued:
"That is the name that the seers give to the lead of a sorcerers party, kind of a navigation letter or a sample book of the warrior's duties inside his group of practices.
After checking his presence thoroughly, the sorcerers from the old Mexico reached the conclusion that, as well as all the alive beings possess a defined biological pattern that allows us to reproduce and to evolve, we also have an energy pattern responsible for our development as luminous beings.
The rule is the matrix of which the specie molds extract its energy. You can understand it as each alive being's evolutionary plan, not only of the earth, but of any corner of the Universe where there is conscience. Nobody can breakaway of her. The only thing we can do, its to ignore that it exists, in which case we won't pass through of being what we are: alive mass to the service of a purpose that we don't understand.
"Said in sorcerers' terms, the rule is the outline of the eagle commands, an equation that correlates the actions effectiveness with the energy saving. In the environment of the practical thing, such combination cannot produce another thing that a warrior.
The rule is complete itself and covers all the facets of the warrior path. It describes how it is created and nurtured a naguals party, in which way the generations are connected to make a lineage and it guides them to freedom. But, in order of how to use it as a power key, you have to verify it for yourself."
How it can be verified?
The rule is auto-evident to the sorcerer seer. For a beginner as you, the best way of witness its operation consists on detecting its intrusion as your life goes by."
THE ORIGIN OF THE RULE
I asked him how men ended up contacting that matrix.
He answered me:
It has always existed. However, the seers are their discoverers and guardians.
The rule is the origin of the universal order. Its function and purpose are unknown, not because they dont known, but because they dont understand it. Hundreds of sorcerers' generations gave theirs lives in the zeal to elucidate it and to develop practical proposals for each one of their conceptual units.
At the beginning, any man intended to have a glimmer of that structure, because nobody knew that it was there. As the seers from the old Mexico began contact with other entities aware of this earth, much older and more experienced that them, they were acquiring portions of the rule. One day they saw that all those portions fit to each other as a puzzle. That day they discovered what they call the map and the linage of the old seers began.
Through their see, they verified almost each relative portion to the dreamers. They proved all the combinations, determining its effects about the conscience. They organized the exercises of dreaming in seven levels of depth and they penetrated until the most intimate unexplored and unknown places in the Universe. Step by step, they developed the design of the party, a structure in form of extremely stable pyramid and able of expressing with transparency the designs of the power.
But there was something that the old ones didn't verify: the rule for the stalkers. They know the stalking like a latent possibility that it was not worthwhile to explore in the practice.
Why?
Because, in a time in which to be sorcerer was being in the peak of the social scale, the stalking like art didn't have any propose. It had been a bad investment. But, when it changed the time modality, that reasoning took to the old ones almost to the edge of the extinction.
It was not but until the appearance of the Toltecs when the other great portion of the rule revealed its extraordinary content. Only survived the lineages that were able to apply it; the rest was dissolved, they got lost in the vortex that meant the fall of the regimen of the old seers. The stalking incorporation determined the birth of the new seers. With them, the rule of the nagual was totally elucidated.
When did that happen?
The period of the new seers began about five thousand years ago and reached its apogee in the times of Tula. Through the stalking, the fundamental contribution of those warriors to the witchcraft was the notion of the impeccability.
AN IMPERSONAL ORGANISM
The target of the naguals rule is to generate parties, that means, organisms auto-conscious able to fly through the immensity out there. Such organisms are composed by the sum of a warriors group that has harmonized their individual intents. The purpose of that design is to perpetuate to a non human dimension of the conscience."
"Not human?"
"Thats right. A dimension in which the personality is no longer the goal.
The human beings are unable to enter and to remain long time inside the cosmic conscience, the stage that don Juan called the third attention. Or we leave there and forget, or we stay and we melt with that unfathomable sea. But the power that governs us has found the way of ignoring such limitation, creating organisms in which the individual entities function the way of members.
In those organisms the depth it is generated a radically new type of attention, an oriented intent to explore the unknown and to investigate in team what one cannot know. The feelings of individuality are no longer their center to realize, because they remain substituted by something much more intense: to live inside the everything, an energy state that no common man can at least imagine it. There are not routines, there is no ego, there is no ignorance, and there is no interpretation. That type of organism is only a stage in the infinite road of the conscience, but, for us as human beings, that stage is final.
I asked him how it functions the conscience of a party.
He put me an analogy taken from the physical body.
Although in a hazy way, each one of our cells is conscious of his unit and, inside certain limits, it can act with independence. However, his individual intent its subordinate to a superior purpose that is to conform the group to which we call me.
When the incredible achievement of realizing the global purpose ends up being patent to us, then we peek a superior evolutionary line. We perceive the possibility to be integrated with our reciprocal energetic in a way of life whose purposes distant so much of how we concern our daily life, as the conscience that has one cell of our entirety. The new seers call to that formation the party of the nagual.
What are the reciprocal energetic?
Human beings that possess luminous characteristics that complemented each other
The energy is recurrent; it generates patterns that we all share. In general, it can be said that there are four basic luminous matrixes with twelve variants, synthesized by the nagual man and the nagual woman. In the measure in that a tonal approaches to the ideal luminous of his class, appears a superior conscientious grade.
When the ideal models find each other, they tend to combine. The attraction feelings among the human beings can be explained as a result of the coalition of their energy molds. The normal thing is that such coalition to be partially, but sometimes happens a sudden and inexplicable wave of sympathy; a seer would say that it has taken place an act of energy reciprocity.
"The warriors of a party combine in such way that their relationship produces great results in the way of wining and to accumulate power.
It is difficult to find characteristic luminous bodies that are available for the nagual task; the ordinary thing is to find a deformed tonal by the mundane life. But, when a nagual is able to integrate this party, the energy of his warriors fuses. They sacrifice their individuality for a superior goal, and returning to their previous isolation is no longer possible, it would only produce them death. It can be said that a party is not formed by individualities, tough it is a single alive organism, of no longer human beings reaches.
THE FORMATION OF A PARTY
What is the conscious level of each member of the party on the target?-
Full conscience. Each one of them knows the pertinent histories of power to their specialty and they know that their function is part of a purpose that transcends them.
The relationship between the rule and the party is through tasks. For example, when the female in dreamers of a group receive the command of tracking energy in the space until giving with possible male candidates for a new generation of sorcerers, they concentrate on that task like their avenue to freedom. They arent interest in any other thing. When they crack the discipline of that intent, the result can be chaotic.
He gave me an example of the effect of a personal interest slipped inside the sorcerer's task.
"Soon after of beginning my learning, and although nobody requested me to made it, I offered myself to help Don Juan to constitute the new party. Every time that a beautiful girl paid me attention, I saw in her my energetic reciprocal and I tried of sell her to don Juan eulogizing her qualities.
At the beginning, the warriors thought I was joking. But, every now and then they were pissed off, and one day that I took to my new 'nagual woman' to be introduced, I didnt found them, all had moved out. To feel lonely only helped me to recover the sobriety.
The party is a being auto-conscious that overcomes us thoroughly. To participate in his intent is something so exceptional that as soon as an apprentice glimpses his entirety, his ego position simply melts. That doesn't imply that automatically he becomes impeccable; he still has to make an effort during years to temper his character and to extirpate his self importance as well as the obsession of power.
Only the man and the nagual woman have a total vision of the partys function. Following the analogy, I would tell you that they are his nerve cells, the units that command the perpetuation process. The other members serve as support and carry out the concrete tasks of the group reduplication.
The work of the nagual is exhausting. He has to dominate the stalking and in dream arts to the perfection, he has to learn how to see and to develop the maximum capacity of his manipulation, and he has to give an example of sobriety in order to maintain the cohesion of the group. If he allows to be carried away of his emotions, the result is the disintegration.
I asked him why.
Because the party is an organism of critical mass. If anyone of his components fails of the target, the resulting dysfunction causes a collapse and it is necessary to restart everything. It is for that reason that the nagual is obligated to demand his warriors to give the maximum of themselves and to prepare the tasks so all of them participate with optimism and trust. The oil of the party is the impeccability of its members, and its fuel, the yearning of total freedom.
THE PARTYS ORDER
How many warriors can integrate a group?
The normal order of a party is quadripartite, in order that the rule has pyramid form. The formation and the growth are carried out in agreement with that basic structure. As in the pyramids, the architecture of the group is composed of a base with four points, integrated each one of them for three warriors: a female dreamer, a female stalker and a male assistant. The points are connected to each other through messengers and above all of them are the nagual couple.
The rule is manifested to a double man or a woman by a vision and they have to accept it to be considered naguals. Starting from that acceptance, the naguals have to join their warriors step by step, always following the signs of the spirit. Their capacity to lead is natural and indisputable, because they, as double being, reflect each one of the types of their party.
you can defined to the naguals like a man and a woman of extraordinary energy involved in an act of fecundation of an infinitely higher reach that all human being knows. While they remain together, they usually introduce themselves to the society like husband and wife.
The male naguals ability is to use the most appropriate words to say things accurately, intellectual clarity, fluency and beauty. Among the seers of the lineage to the one that belonged Don Juans group, the omen to occupy this position was to be dying. All his leaders, except me, were found under such conditions.
Why was your case different?
Because, speaking correctly, I am a surplus nagual. I didn't come to continue the lineage, but to seal it.
And which is the rule for nagual woman?
The female nagual is the light that guides the whole effort, the true mother. The normal thing is that she leaves before the group, and stays fluctuating between the first and the second attention, visiting the apprentices during the dream. She works as a lighthouse and, in the event of necessity, she can return of the second attention to sow a new generation of seers.
On the other hand, the female warriors are of two different types, stalkers and dreamers. They have two types of functions: to serve as portals and as guardians. The portals belong to the South way, they are the strainer or filter in which pass the apprentices. They determine if a warrior stays or leaves and they have the biggest interference in the way to dispose the members of the team. Also, they are the invokers in the power meetings.
The guardians are kind of an external version of the portals; there is one white and one black. They have been taken charge to watch over for the good function of the group, which means that they have to be alert before any possible attacks from the outside and they are also ready to solve the internal problems. Among the new seers, all these functions are in charge of the women.
"Why is this way?"
"Because women have more mobility and bigger energy than men. Almost the whole Universe is of feminine nature, and the female witches teams travel over there as if they were in their own house. That capacity to circulate without interferences through dark energy becomes them into the battery of the group.
On the other hand, we, the men are detected at once, because our energy is clear and it is denounced. Also, as we were not made to give birth, we don't have a specialized organ for the dreaming. Except the nagual, the male elements don't have a lot of shine inside a party.
Even so, the rule establishes that there have to be four warriors dedicated to organize, explore and understand, for which they fix their assemblage points in very specific places of the energy. Their presence is good to stabilize the group, neutralizing the frequent explosions of power that the female warriors star. If it was not for them, the structure would volatize as soon as the women achieve certain grade of efficiency. So the men work like anchors; they fix the group until a maximum of power is gotten.
Due to his form, don Juan called to the party the snake organization'. It is a concept that he inherited of the old seers, for the square stains that it has the bell snake on its skin. He affirmed that the head of the animal, with its fixed and hypnotic eyes, represents to the nagual couple. The chest correspond the female warriors in dreamers whose function is to inhale the visions and to distribute them among the group. The stomach, to the female stalkers, able to digest any conceivable situation. The tail is the assistants whom are in charge of giving mobility to the group. It is a very flowing disposition.
Do any other parties that have other kind of formations exist?
In great measure, the warriors are the result of the implacable manipulation of the nagual. You can understand that, after some years of that constant pressure, the form of a group, and the luminous shade that goes taking the energy of each one of its components, becomes even very specific. It is for that reason that so many lineages of sorcerers exist. But all have; basically, the type of pyramidal parties that I have described you, since the experience had demonstrated that this it is the most stable formula.
THE RULE PURPOSE
Which is the party purpose?
From the Eagles point of view, to explore, to verify and to increase the rule. Each warriors generation most leave their print, because the rule is accumulative. The inheritance of the lineage consists on a series position of the assemblage point, to which the successive parties go adding their own acquisitions. It is normal that the lineages take a dairy of incidents where the naguals write down their discoveries.
The basic interest of all organisms is to reproduce. Therefore, a way to defining it, would be to say that the rule is the outline of a reproductive process. What looks for is the conscience perpetuation, something that, starting from certain point, it cannot be made by individual beds. The resources that personally acquire each warrior during his training are secondary achievements.
From the sorcerers point of view, the target of grouping is to force the step at another level of attention, because without mass energy there is not flight.
Do you mean that the solitary warriors don't have possibilities?
No. What I mean is that a party can get farther.
You can imagine that you live in a colony of gregarious caterpillars in metamorphosis state. Suddenly, one of the buds makes appearance and its resident leaves in a momentary explosion of light and color. The sensation that you have left is about that caterpillar disappeared. On the other hand, for her, her true life like a butterfly will have begun. Now then, it is more probable than a solitary caterpillar finishes in a birds stomach.
In the same way, the warriors posterior target is the definitive jump to the third attention, freedom in all interpretation way. The energy quantity that is necessary for this it can only be achieve through a special consent of critical mass, in order to generate the necessary agreements to compact the energy.
However, many parties are not able to get to their energy fullness, the naguals have built a habitable oasis inside the second attention, an enormous intent building in some point far away from the dreaming, to where the seers go in solitary or in small groups. I call him the intent dome', because at sight it has that form, but don Juan preferred to call him the naguals cemetery.
Why did he call it this way?
Because to stay to live in that space implies the sorcerer's literal death. In a nothing allegorical sense, it is a cemetery. Although those who choose that destination achieved the conscience expansion for an enormous period of time, they will have to let it go when the moment arrives.
So, for many sorcerers, the immediate objective of the party is usually the naguals dome, hoping of being able to use it in passing as a port where they accumulate provisions for a great expedition. To arrive there it is not necessary that the whole group leaves once and for all. In occasions the warriors choose to go one by one. In that case, they can return partially, as long as the entirety of the group energy structure has not completed.
As you will understand, the challenges in which the warriors are involved during his human existence are hardly the prelude; the tremendous thing comes later. Don't wonder what they are devoted in the meantime while they remain in that world; it would sound as a fairy story to you. The important thing is that all their activities are governed by the rule.
I told him that, keeping in mind the target of the party, the rule could be interpreted as the prehispanic equivalent of what other cultures called divine laws that means, a group of regulatory schemes designed for the man's salvation.
He answered me:
It is not same, because it doesn't come from a supreme being. The rule mechanism is impersonal, it lacks of kindness or compassion. It doesn't have any other target than its own continuity.
Carried away for the analogies, the old seers made the mistake of identifying the rule with their particular interpretations, and they ended up worshiping it and building temples in its honor. The new ones rejected all that. Through the explore of the stalking, they undusted the essence of the witchcraft and rediscovered the goal of total freedom, that doesn't resemble in anything to the religious goals. That erased in them the fascination to the human mold, but it had a secondary effect that I have already explained to you: the wild enthusiasm of the old ones was substituted by stealthy and unfaithful attitudes.
The stalking effect on the parties finished betraying the initial mobiles. With the time, the total freedom target ended up only thinking about in rhetoric form. Almost all the Don Juans sorcerers lineage preferred the flight to the second attention. Except the nagual Julin Osorio, no one of them wanted to be deprived of the adventure and the ecstasy of visiting the naguals dome, built there of intent, in one of the stars of the Orion constellation.
THE NAGUALS OF THREE POINTS
The rule is final, but its design and conformation are in constant evolution. Only that, contrary to what the evolutionists says those who see in the adaptations of life come at random the accumulation of genetic mutations, the seers know that there is not causality in the rule. They see as a command of the eagle, in an energy wave form, shakes every now and then the power lineages, producing new stages in witchcraft.
A more exact way of referring it, is supposing that all the possible variants of the rule are contained in a previous matrix, and what goes changing with the time is the grade of knowledge that the sorcerers have of that entirety and the emphasis that they make on certain portions. Such periods of change are recurrent and they are represented by the number three.
Why three?
Because the old Toltecs associated the number three with the dynamism and the renovation. They discovered that the ternary formations announce unexpected changes.
The rule has prepared that, from time to time, a special type of naguals appear in the lineages whose energy is not quadripartite, but rather it only has three compartments. The seers call them three points naguals.
I asked him about the difference between these to the other ones.
He answered me:
Their energy is volatile, they are always in movement, for that reason they find difficult to accumulate power. From the lineage point of view, their composition is faulty; they don't reach to be true naguals. In compensation, their lack the shyness and the reservation that characterize to the classic naguals, and they possess an unusual capacity to improvise and communicate.
It can be said that the three point naguals are like the cuckoo bird that is incubated in other bird's nest. They are opportunists, but necessary. Contrary to the four point naguals whose freedom is to pass inadvertent, the three point ones are available personalities. They disclose the secrets and propitiate the teaching fragmentation, but without them the power lineages would have extinguished a long time ago.
"Among the new seers, the rule is that a nagual leaves as descendant a new party. Some, for their enormous energy surpluses, are able to help to organize a second or even a third generation of seers. For example, the nagual Elas Ulloa lived enough time to create his successor's party and to influence on the following one. But it didn't mean that the lineage forks; all those groups were part of the same transmission line.
"On the other hand, the three points nagual is authorized to transmit his knowledge in radial form, which bears to the lineages diversification. His luminous egg exercises a disintegration effect on the group that breaks the lineal structure of transmission and foments a desire of change and action in the warriors, and an active disposition to be involved with their fellow men.
is that what happened with you?
Thats right. Due to my luminous disposition, I don't have repairs in leaving focuses of knowledge wherever I go. I know that I need of an enormous quantity of energy to fulfill my task, and that I can only obtain it of the massively. For that reason I am willing to diffuse the knowledge and to transform and to redefine the paradigms.
THE PORTION OF THE RULE OF THE NAGUAL OF THREE POINTS
As you know, my teacher get in contact with the three points naguals rule, when he tried to analyze certain anomalies inside the new group. It seems that I didn't synchronize with the rest of the apprentices. Then he dedicated me enough attention that made me see that I masked my energy configuration."
Do you mean that Don Juans seeing was mistaken?
Of course not!! What he misunderstood was in his seeing. To see is the perception final form; there arent any appearances, so it is not possible to confuse yourself. However, due the pressure that he eject on me during years; my energy fought to mold his. Thats common among the apprentices. As he was divided in fourth compartments, I also began to expose a similar energy load on my actions.
When I finally was able to take his influence off (thing that took me ten arduous working years) we both discovered something amazing, my glitter only had three compartments; this didnt correspond to an ordinary person, that usually has two, but neither to the common nagual. This discovery made a great shock in the seers group, nevertheless all of them had announce a deep change to the lineage.
Then don Juan recurred to his predecessors tradition and undusted a forgotten aspect of the rule. He told me that a naguals selection cant be consider as a personal whim by any way, because through all the times, it is the spirit the one that chooses the successor of a lineage. Therefore, my energy anomaly was part of a command; above all my urgent questions, he assured me that in its proper time, a messenger would explain me the function of my presence as a three points nagual.
Years later, in a time that I was visiting one of the National museum of Anthropology and History room, I watched an indian dressed like a tarahumara that seemed to have the biggest interest for one of the pieces exhibited there, walking around, he examined it through every possible watch spot, and he showed such an absolute concentration, that my curiosity was awoken, and I got closer to look.
When he saw me, the man started to talk me, and he began to explain me the meaning of a group of drawings carefully sculpted on stone, then while I was thinking about what he had told me. I remembered Don Juans promise and I realized that, that man had been sent by the spirit to transmit me the
three point naguals rule portion.
---- And what does that portion says?
It affirms that, as the party has a energy matrix containing the number seventeen (two naguals, four female in dreamers, four stalkers, four warriors and three messengers), the lineage formed by a party succession it also has a power structure, of number fifty two. The eagle ordered that every fifty two generations of four point naguals, it has to appear a three points nagual, so this one serves as cathartic action, to the propagation of new quadripartite lineages.
The rule also says that the three point naguals are destructive of the established order, because their nature is not creative or supplying, and it has the tendency of enslaving to all those that surround them. It adds that these naguals have to achieve freedom by themselves, because their energy isnt tune up to guide warriors groups.
As everything in the energy environment, the fifty two generation block is divided in two parts; the first twenty-six are for expansion and to create new lines, the remaining are oriented to the conservation and the isolation. That behavior pattern has been repeating millennium after millennium, so the sorcerers know that it is part of the rule.
As a result of the three points nagual activities the knowledge is spread and new cells of naguals of four points are formed. Starting from that point the lineages recapture the tradition of transmitting the teaching in lineal form.
How often do the three point naguals appear?
Approximately once per millennium. That is the age from the lineage to which I belong.
THE CURRENT SEERS TASK
Through verify the three points naguals rule, Don Juan deduced that the time of a new breed of warriors was getting closer inevitably, those who I have called the modern seers."
Is there any peculiarity in the luminous composition of those warriors?
No. In all the times the man's energy pattern has been very homogeneous, so the partys organization is the same. However, the current warriors are experiencing their brightness a landslide to the green, which means that they are recovering personal characteristics of the old seers. This is something accidental; although it is for sure that it is contemplated in the rule.
The true difference between the old and new seers it is of behavior. At the moment we are not submitted to the same repressions of previous times and, therefore, the sorcerers have less restriction. This clearly has a purpose: the popularization of the teaching.
I have been there to live a renovation time. My purpose is to close with golden key the nagual Juan Matuss line and to open possibilities to those who come later. For that reason I have said that I am the last nagual of my lineage, not in an absolute sense, but in a sense of radical change.
At this point, Carlos made a pause in his exhibition and he reminded me a chat that we had sustained at the beginning of our relationship.
In that time I asked him to told me histories of power. He answered me that he could not refuse to my request, but giving me those histories without getting through this path before, it would have trivialize them.
I hope what you have seen during these years fills your expectations. I made what I could, keeping in mind your limitations and mine. I know that you already have begun to educate your double of dreams and that guarantees that you can continue for yourself; your double won't leave you alone until you accomplish your totality. The theoretical part has finished and it is time of giving you a last gift."
The tone between familiar and solemn with which Carlos told me these words made me concentrate all my attention.
The final teaching says that the relationship that contracts the intent with all person that approaches with the nagual, occupies his place, anyone, inside the total context of the rule. So you are not alone, the sorcerers expect something from you.
What? -I asked him, a little confused.
He explained me:
All warriors have a task. Yours is that you fulfill what the spirit command you; that is your way to power.
And which is that task?
Well, your personal mission is something that your benefactor will communicate you some day. However, giving you the rule of the nagual of three points, I am following a long term strategy elaborated by Don Juan and that commits you with my teacher's intent.
What is expected from you is to say to whom surround you:-- you are free, you can fly for your own! You already have the necessary information, what else do you expect? Act faultlessly and you will see how the energy finds a way of being channeled '.
Tell everybody that, starting from Don Juans lineage culmination, the knowledge has been open. Each warrior is responsible for himself and he can be provided of the minimum opportunity that is to organize his own party.

THE RULE OF THE NAGUAL OF THREE POINTS
By: Armando Torres
INTRODUCTION
From early age, the reflexive tendency of my character leads me to look up for an explanation about who I am and which was my purpose in life. Based on this search, in certain occasion a school partner told me that Carlos Castaneda will give a private chat at one of his friend's house, and that I could come if I wanted to. I was delighted with the invitation, because there was a long time I was looking for an opportunity like this.
Castaneda was a famous anthropologist, author of several books about the old Mexican sorcerers culture. In them he tells that, still being a student at the University of California, he went to make some field work among the Yaqui Indians, in the north of Mexico, in order to learn about the medical plants that they custom to use.
In one of his trips he met an old medicine man (yerbero) that had fame of being a sorcerer who was introduced as Juan Matus. As time pass by, the old man took him as his apprentice and introduced him to a completely unknown dimension to the contemporary man: the traditional wisdom of the old Toltec seers, commonly known as witchcraft or nagualismo.
In a dozen of books, Carlos tells a teachers apprentice relationship that lasted thirteen years. In that time, it was subjected to an arduous training that took him to corroborate that stranger's culture foundations personally. The acquired experiences during his learning finished making the young anthropologist to succumb behold the knowledge fascination and was absorbed by the beliefs system that he studied. This outcome moved him away enough of his original goals.
Nagualismo was the name that the Mexican prehispanic sorcerers gave to their system of beliefs. In accordance to the history, those men were deeply interested in their relationship with the Universe, to such point that they were given to the task of investigating the limits of the perception through the use of hallucinogenic plants that allowed them to change the conscience levels. After practicing during generations, some of them learned how to see, that means, to perceive the world, not like an interpretation, but as a constant flow of energy.
The nagualism consists in a group of designed techniques to alter the daily perception, producing psychic and physical phenomena of extraordinary interest. For example, the Mexican tradition affirms that a nagual is able to become an animal, because he has learned how to dream himself in a different form as a human being. The fact behind this popular belief is that the sorcerers explore their subconscious with the one purpose of throwing light above the unknown environment of our being.
During thousands of years the nagualism was a socially accepted practice, just as among us it is the religion or science. Time past, his postulates won in abstraction and synthesis, becoming a kind of philosophical proposal, whose practitioners were called Toltecs.
The Toltecs were not commonly know as we can understand by sorcerers, this means, individuals that use supernatural forces to damage other people, but men and women extremely disciplined and interested in complex aspects of being conscious.
In his books, Carlos made an effort with a lot of talent to adapt the knowledge from the naguals to our time, taking it out from the rural atmosphere and making it accessible to people with western formation. Starting from Don Juan teachings, he defined the premises of the warrior path or the one of the impeccable behavior, consistent in control, discipline and sustained effort. Once taken inward, these principles take to the practitioner to other more complex techniques which object is to perceive the world in a new way.
Once achieved this, the student is in a position of moving trough the dreams environment in a voluntary and conscious way, just as he makes it in his daily life. This technique is supplemented with what don Juan denominated the art of stalking or the art of knowing yourself, and with a daily exercise call recapitulation, because it consists on reviewing the events of our personal history to find his hidden plot.
The dreaming and the recapitulation make possible the creation of the energetic double, a practically indestructible entity, able to act for its own.
One of the most outstanding discoveries in the Toltecs seers was that we the human beings possess a luminous configuration or an energy field surrounding our physical body. They also saw that some ones came with a special configuration divided in two parts. These ones are called naguals that means, duplicated people. For its particular conformation, the nagual has bigger resources that most people. They also saw that, because of their doubleness and exceptional energy, they are natural leaders.
Starting from these discoveries, it was unavoidable that the seers settle down according to the energy commands, organizing harmonic groups, whose participants were supplemented to each other. The warriors of these groups were committed with the search of new conscientious levels. With the time, they began to realize that, behold their practices and organization forms, there was an impersonal rule.
In this way, the rule is the design description and the media by which can gather the diverse luminous conformations of the human specie, in order to integrate a single organism denominated the naguals party. The goal of these groups is total freedom, the conscience evolution at the point of being able to travel through the cosmic energy ocean, perceiving everything that is accessible to us.
A special section of the rule that describes how the diverse generations of warriors are intertwined forming lineage exists, and how the lineage are renewed every certain time.
Carlos had the chance to live one of this renovation stages. However, he didn't understood what this meant, until he received a message that guided him to the popularization of the teaching.
When I met him, he still had a great prudence to people and he tried to stay distanced of people. Our relationship was mainly through chats that he gave to small groups and private conversations.
He demanded me to go through inadvertent in front of people in order to maintain under control my personal history. Time later, he admitted to me that, in that way it would possessed a deeper sense, because I had a commitment with the spirit and I should execute my task four years after his departure.
When I asked him the reason of that requirement, he told me that he knew that his work will be obstructed by detractors that would try to frustrate the plan designed by don Juan for a conscience revolution. My function would be to give testimony of the message that I received.
THE OMEN
In certain occasion, after giving a chat in a private room of a restaurant, where we were invited to eat, Carlos asked me to go with him to someplace else. Minutes later, we both leave, leaving the other guests in a cheerful chat.
In our road we had to cross a great avenue. Being ahead to the traffic jam, I ran to a triangular isle amid the road, believing that Carlos would follow me. But when I arrived there, I noticed that he had stayed waiting on the other side.
Then accidentally something happened; a magnificent gust of wind rushed through the avenue, so strong, that I had to hold on to a metallic post that was used as a drivers sign. Before I could protect myself, a dust cloud was introduced into my eyes and throat, making me cough and leaving me momentarily blind.
When I had recovered, Carlos was at my side, looking at me with a radiant face of joy. he clapped my back and made a very strange comment:
I already know what to do with you!
With a question mark in my face I looked at him, and he explained to me:
That was the same wind, its hunting you.
His words made me remembered the moment that I met him, when an autumnal blow had made us to close the windows of the room hastily where we were waiting for a group of friends.
In that occasion you felled it as a strong wind, but I knew that it was the spirit giving turns over your head. It was a sign, and now I know with what purpose it pointed out at you.
I asked him to explain me his enigmatic statement, but his answer was even darker:
I am heir of certain information. It is an aspect of the teaching that concerns me so deeply that even myself cannot explain it to others. It should be said through a messenger. Just a while ago, while I observed how the spirit shook you on the edge of the avenue, I knew it, that messenger is you.
I insisted him to reveal me something else, but he told me that, that was not neither the right time nor the correct place.
WHAT THE RULE IS
Time later, while we walked trough the Alamedas park, almost arriving to the Fine arts Palace, he made me signs so, we could sat down in a miraculously free bench, in a side of the square. It was a wrought iron bench. Its location, fair in front of the main door of an old church built with blocks of red and black lava, he had the virtue of blocking my internal dialogue slightly, taking me to a serenity oasis amid the car bustle and people that passed by.
For what I seen, Carlos had foreseen that impact with a didactic function. He told me that I was sitting down in Don Juans favorite bench, which moved me a lot. Rubbing his hands, he assured that it was time to get to the point.
Do you know what the rule is? -he asked me.
Although I had read something about it in one of his books, I had not understood much part of it, so I denied with the head.
He continued:
"That is the name that the seers give to the lead of a sorcerers party, kind of a navigation letter or a sample book of the warrior's duties inside his group of practices.
After checking his presence thoroughly, the sorcerers from the old Mexico reached the conclusion that, as well as all the alive beings possess a defined biological pattern that allows us to reproduce and to evolve, we also have an energy pattern responsible for our development as luminous beings.
The rule is the matrix of which the specie molds extract its energy. You can understand it as each alive being's evolutionary plan, not only of the earth, but of any corner of the Universe where there is conscience. Nobody can breakaway of her. The only thing we can do, its to ignore that it exists, in which case we won't pass through of being what we are: alive mass to the service of a purpose that we don't understand.
"Said in sorcerers' terms, the rule is the outline of the eagle commands, an equation that correlates the actions effectiveness with the energy saving. In the environment of the practical thing, such combination cannot produce another thing that a warrior.
The rule is complete itself and covers all the facets of the warrior path. It describes how it is created and nurtured a naguals party, in which way the generations are connected to make a lineage and it guides them to freedom. But, in order of how to use it as a power key, you have to verify it for yourself."
How it can be verified?
The rule is auto-evident to the sorcerer seer. For a beginner as you, the best way of witness its operation consists on detecting its intrusion as your life goes by."
THE ORIGIN OF THE RULE
I asked him how men ended up contacting that matrix.
He answered me:
It has always existed. However, the seers are their discoverers and guardians.
The rule is the origin of the universal order. Its function and purpose are unknown, not because they dont known, but because they dont understand it. Hundreds of sorcerers' generations gave theirs lives in the zeal to elucidate it and to develop practical proposals for each one of their conceptual units.
At the beginning, any man intended to have a glimmer of that structure, because nobody knew that it was there. As the seers from the old Mexico began contact with other entities aware of this earth, much older and more experienced that them, they were acquiring portions of the rule. One day they saw that all those portions fit to each other as a puzzle. That day they discovered what they call the map and the linage of the old seers began.
Through their see, they verified almost each relative portion to the dreamers. They proved all the combinations, determining its effects about the conscience. They organized the exercises of dreaming in seven levels of depth and they penetrated until the most intimate unexplored and unknown places in the Universe. Step by step, they developed the design of the party, a structure in form of extremely stable pyramid and able of expressing with transparency the designs of the power.
But there was something that the old ones didn't verify: the rule for the stalkers. They know the stalking like a latent possibility that it was not worthwhile to explore in the practice.
Why?
Because, in a time in which to be sorcerer was being in the peak of the social scale, the stalking like art didn't have any propose. It had been a bad investment. But, when it changed the time modality, that reasoning took to the old ones almost to the edge of the extinction.
It was not but until the appearance of the Toltecs when the other great portion of the rule revealed its extraordinary content. Only survived the lineages that were able to apply it; the rest was dissolved, they got lost in the vortex that meant the fall of the regimen of the old seers. The stalking incorporation determined the birth of the new seers. With them, the rule of the nagual was totally elucidated.
When did that happen?
The period of the new seers began about five thousand years ago and reached its apogee in the times of Tula. Through the stalking, the fundamental contribution of those warriors to the witchcraft was the notion of the impeccability.
AN IMPERSONAL ORGANISM
The target of the naguals rule is to generate parties, that means, organisms auto-conscious able to fly through the immensity out there. Such organisms are composed by the sum of a warriors group that has harmonized their individual intents. The purpose of that design is to perpetuate to a non human dimension of the conscience."
"Not human?"
"Thats right. A dimension in which the personality is no longer the goal.
The human beings are unable to enter and to remain long time inside the cosmic conscience, the stage that don Juan called the third attention. Or we leave there and forget, or we stay and we melt with that unfathomable sea. But the power that governs us has found the way of ignoring such limitation, creating organisms in which the individual entities function the way of members.
In those organisms the depth it is generated a radically new type of attention, an oriented intent to explore the unknown and to investigate in team what one cannot know. The feelings of individuality are no longer their center to realize, because they remain substituted by something much more intense: to live inside the everything, an energy state that no common man can at least imagine it. There are not routines, there is no ego, there is no ignorance, and there is no interpretation. That type of organism is only a stage in the infinite road of the conscience, but, for us as human beings, that stage is final.
I asked him how it functions the conscience of a party.
He put me an analogy taken from the physical body.
Although in a hazy way, each one of our cells is conscious of his unit and, inside certain limits, it can act with independence. However, his individual intent its subordinate to a superior purpose that is to conform the group to which we call me.
When the incredible achievement of realizing the global purpose ends up being patent to us, then we peek a superior evolutionary line. We perceive the possibility to be integrated with our reciprocal energetic in a way of life whose purposes distant so much of how we concern our daily life, as the conscience that has one cell of our entirety. The new seers call to that formation the party of the nagual.
What are the reciprocal energetic?
Human beings that possess luminous characteristics that complemented each other
The energy is recurrent; it generates patterns that we all share. In general, it can be said that there are four basic luminous matrixes with twelve variants, synthesized by the nagual man and the nagual woman. In the measure in that a tonal approaches to the ideal luminous of his class, appears a superior conscientious grade.
When the ideal models find each other, they tend to combine. The attraction feelings among the human beings can be explained as a result of the coalition of their energy molds. The normal thing is that such coalition to be partially, but sometimes happens a sudden and inexplicable wave of sympathy; a seer would say that it has taken place an act of energy reciprocity.
"The warriors of a party combine in such way that their relationship produces great results in the way of wining and to accumulate power.
It is difficult to find characteristic luminous bodies that are available for the nagual task; the ordinary thing is to find a deformed tonal by the mundane life. But, when a nagual is able to integrate this party, the energy of his warriors fuses. They sacrifice their individuality for a superior goal, and returning to their previous isolation is no longer possible, it would only produce them death. It can be said that a party is not formed by individualities, tough it is a single alive organism, of no longer human beings reaches.
THE FORMATION OF A PARTY
What is the conscious level of each member of the party on the target?-
Full conscience. Each one of them knows the pertinent histories of power to their specialty and they know that their function is part of a purpose that transcends them.
The relationship between the rule and the party is through tasks. For example, when the female in dreamers of a group receive the command of tracking energy in the space until giving with possible male candidates for a new generation of sorcerers, they concentrate on that task like their avenue to freedom. They arent interest in any other thing. When they crack the discipline of that intent, the result can be chaotic.
He gave me an example of the effect of a personal interest slipped inside the sorcerer's task.
"Soon after of beginning my learning, and although nobody requested me to made it, I offered myself to help Don Juan to constitute the new party. Every time that a beautiful girl paid me attention, I saw in her my energetic reciprocal and I tried of sell her to don Juan eulogizing her qualities.
At the beginning, the warriors thought I was joking. But, every now and then they were pissed off, and one day that I took to my new 'nagual woman' to be introduced, I didnt found them, all had moved out. To feel lonely only helped me to recover the sobriety.
The party is a being auto-conscious that overcomes us thoroughly. To participate in his intent is something so exceptional that as soon as an apprentice glimpses his entirety, his ego position simply melts. That doesn't imply that automatically he becomes impeccable; he still has to make an effort during years to temper his character and to extirpate his self importance as well as the obsession of power.
Only the man and the nagual woman have a total vision of the partys function. Following the analogy, I would tell you that they are his nerve cells, the units that command the perpetuation process. The other members serve as support and carry out the concrete tasks of the group reduplication.
The work of the nagual is exhausting. He has to dominate the stalking and in dream arts to the perfection, he has to learn how to see and to develop the maximum capacity of his manipulation, and he has to give an example of sobriety in order to maintain the cohesion of the group. If he allows to be carried away of his emotions, the result is the disintegration.
I asked him why.
Because the party is an organism of critical mass. If anyone of his components fails of the target, the resulting dysfunction causes a collapse and it is necessary to restart everything. It is for that reason that the nagual is obligated to demand his warriors to give the maximum of themselves and to prepare the tasks so all of them participate with optimism and trust. The oil of the party is the impeccability of its members, and its fuel, the yearning of total freedom.
THE PARTYS ORDER
How many warriors can integrate a group?
The normal order of a party is quadripartite, in order that the rule has pyramid form. The formation and the growth are carried out in agreement with that basic structure. As in the pyramids, the architecture of the group is composed of a base with four points, integrated each one of them for three warriors: a female dreamer, a female stalker and a male assistant. The points are connected to each other through messengers and above all of them are the nagual couple.
The rule is manifested to a double man or a woman by a vision and they have to accept it to be considered naguals. Starting from that acceptance, the naguals have to join their warriors step by step, always following the signs of the spirit. Their capacity to lead is natural and indisputable, because they, as double being, reflect each one of the types of their party.
you can defined to the naguals like a man and a woman of extraordinary energy involved in an act of fecundation of an infinitely higher reach that all human being knows. While they remain together, they usually introduce themselves to the society like husband and wife.
The male naguals ability is to use the most appropriate words to say things accurately, intellectual clarity, fluency and beauty. Among the seers of the lineage to the one that belonged Don Juans group, the omen to occupy this position was to be dying. All his leaders, except me, were found under such conditions.
Why was your case different?
Because, speaking correctly, I am a surplus nagual. I didn't come to continue the lineage, but to seal it.
And which is the rule for nagual woman?
The female nagual is the light that guides the whole effort, the true mother. The normal thing is that she leaves before the group, and stays fluctuating between the first and the second attention, visiting the apprentices during the dream. She works as a lighthouse and, in the event of necessity, she can return of the second attention to sow a new generation of seers.
On the other hand, the female warriors are of two different types, stalkers and dreamers. They have two types of functions: to serve as portals and as guardians. The portals belong to the South way, they are the strainer or filter in which pass the apprentices. They determine if a warrior stays or leaves and they have the biggest interference in the way to dispose the members of the team. Also, they are the invokers in the power meetings.
The guardians are kind of an external version of the portals; there is one white and one black. They have been taken charge to watch over for the good function of the group, which means that they have to be alert before any possible attacks from the outside and they are also ready to solve the internal problems. Among the new seers, all these functions are in charge of the women.
"Why is this way?"
"Because women have more mobility and bigger energy than men. Almost the whole Universe is of feminine nature, and the female witches teams travel over there as if they were in their own house. That capacity to circulate without interferences through dark energy becomes them into the battery of the group.
On the other hand, we, the men are detected at once, because our energy is clear and it is denounced. Also, as we were not made to give birth, we don't have a specialized organ for the dreaming. Except the nagual, the male elements don't have a lot of shine inside a party.
Even so, the rule establishes that there have to be four warriors dedicated to organize, explore and understand, for which they fix their assemblage points in very specific places of the energy. Their presence is good to stabilize the group, neutralizing the frequent explosions of power that the female warriors star. If it was not for them, the structure would volatize as soon as the women achieve certain grade of efficiency. So the men work like anchors; they fix the group until a maximum of power is gotten.
Due to his form, don Juan called to the party the snake organization'. It is a concept that he inherited of the old seers, for the square stains that it has the bell snake on its skin. He affirmed that the head of the animal, with its fixed and hypnotic eyes, represents to the nagual couple. The chest correspond the female warriors in dreamers whose function is to inhale the visions and to distribute them among the group. The stomach, to the female stalkers, able to digest any conceivable situation. The tail is the assistants whom are in charge of giving mobility to the group. It is a very flowing disposition.
Do any other parties that have other kind of formations exist?
In great measure, the warriors are the result of the implacable manipulation of the nagual. You can understand that, after some years of that constant pressure, the form of a group, and the luminous shade that goes taking the energy of each one of its components, becomes even very specific. It is for that reason that so many lineages of sorcerers exist. But all have; basically, the type of pyramidal parties that I have described you, since the experience had demonstrated that this it is the most stable formula.
THE RULE PURPOSE
Which is the party purpose?
From the Eagles point of view, to explore, to verify and to increase the rule. Each warriors generation most leave their print, because the rule is accumulative. The inheritance of the lineage consists on a series position of the assemblage point, to which the successive parties go adding their own acquisitions. It is normal that the lineages take a dairy of incidents where the naguals write down their discoveries.
The basic interest of all organisms is to reproduce. Therefore, a way to defining it, would be to say that the rule is the outline of a reproductive process. What looks for is the conscience perpetuation, something that, starting from certain point, it cannot be made by individual beds. The resources that personally acquire each warrior during his training are secondary achievements.
From the sorcerers point of view, the target of grouping is to force the step at another level of attention, because without mass energy there is not flight.
Do you mean that the solitary warriors don't have possibilities?
No. What I mean is that a party can get farther.
You can imagine that you live in a colony of gregarious caterpillars in metamorphosis state. Suddenly, one of the buds makes appearance and its resident leaves in a momentary explosion of light and color. The sensation that you have left is about that caterpillar disappeared. On the other hand, for her, her true life like a butterfly will have begun. Now then, it is more probable than a solitary caterpillar finishes in a birds stomach.
In the same way, the warriors posterior target is the definitive jump to the third attention, freedom in all interpretation way. The energy quantity that is necessary for this it can only be achieve through a special consent of critical mass, in order to generate the necessary agreements to compact the energy.
However, many parties are not able to get to their energy fullness, the naguals have built a habitable oasis inside the second attention, an enormous intent building in some point far away from the dreaming, to where the seers go in solitary or in small groups. I call him the intent dome', because at sight it has that form, but don Juan preferred to call him the naguals cemetery.
Why did he call it this way?
Because to stay to live in that space implies the sorcerer's literal death. In a nothing allegorical sense, it is a cemetery. Although those who choose that destination achieved the conscience expansion for an enormous period of time, they will have to let it go when the moment arrives.
So, for many sorcerers, the immediate objective of the party is usually the naguals dome, hoping of being able to use it in passing as a port where they accumulate provisions for a great expedition. To arrive there it is not necessary that the whole group leaves once and for all. In occasions the warriors choose to go one by one. In that case, they can return partially, as long as the entirety of the group energy structure has not completed.
As you will understand, the challenges in which the warriors are involved during his human existence are hardly the prelude; the tremendous thing comes later. Don't wonder what they are devoted in the meantime while they remain in that world; it would sound as a fairy story to you. The important thing is that all their activities are governed by the rule.
I told him that, keeping in mind the target of the party, the rule could be interpreted as the prehispanic equivalent of what other cultures called divine laws that means, a group of regulatory schemes designed for the man's salvation.
He answered me:
It is not same, because it doesn't come from a supreme being. The rule mechanism is impersonal, it lacks of kindness or compassion. It doesn't have any other target than its own continuity.
Carried away for the analogies, the old seers made the mistake of identifying the rule with their particular interpretations, and they ended up worshiping it and building temples in its honor. The new ones rejected all that. Through the explore of the stalking, they undusted the essence of the witchcraft and rediscovered the goal of total freedom, that doesn't resemble in anything to the religious goals. That erased in them the fascination to the human mold, but it had a secondary effect that I have already explained to you: the wild enthusiasm of the old ones was substituted by stealthy and unfaithful attitudes.
The stalking effect on the parties finished betraying the initial mobiles. With the time, the total freedom target ended up only thinking about in rhetoric form. Almost all the Don Juans sorcerers lineage preferred the flight to the second attention. Except the nagual Julin Osorio, no one of them wanted to be deprived of the adventure and the ecstasy of visiting the naguals dome, built there of intent, in one of the stars of the Orion constellation.
THE NAGUALS OF THREE POINTS
The rule is final, but its design and conformation are in constant evolution. Only that, contrary to what the evolutionists says those who see in the adaptations of life come at random the accumulation of genetic mutations, the seers know that there is not causality in the rule. They see as a command of the eagle, in an energy wave form, shakes every now and then the power lineages, producing new stages in witchcraft.
A more exact way of referring it, is supposing that all the possible variants of the rule are contained in a previous matrix, and what goes changing with the time is the grade of knowledge that the sorcerers have of that entirety and the emphasis that they make on certain portions. Such periods of change are recurrent and they are represented by the number three.
Why three?
Because the old Toltecs associated the number three with the dynamism and the renovation. They discovered that the ternary formations announce unexpected changes.
The rule has prepared that, from time to time, a special type of naguals appear in the lineages whose energy is not quadripartite, but rather it only has three compartments. The seers call them three points naguals.
I asked him about the difference between these to the other ones.
He answered me:
Their energy is volatile, they are always in movement, for that reason they find difficult to accumulate power. From the lineage point of view, their composition is faulty; they don't reach to be true naguals. In compensation, their lack the shyness and the reservation that characterize to the classic naguals, and they possess an unusual capacity to improvise and communicate.
It can be said that the three point naguals are like the cuckoo bird that is incubated in other bird's nest. They are opportunists, but necessary. Contrary to the four point naguals whose freedom is to pass inadvertent, the three point ones are available personalities. They disclose the secrets and propitiate the teaching fragmentation, but without them the power lineages would have extinguished a long time ago.
"Among the new seers, the rule is that a nagual leaves as descendant a new party. Some, for their enormous energy surpluses, are able to help to organize a second or even a third generation of seers. For example, the nagual Elas Ulloa lived enough time to create his successor's party and to influence on the following one. But it didn't mean that the lineage forks; all those groups were part of the same transmission line.
"On the other hand, the three points nagual is authorized to transmit his knowledge in radial form, which bears to the lineages diversification. His luminous egg exercises a disintegration effect on the group that breaks the lineal structure of transmission and foments a desire of change and action in the warriors, and an active disposition to be involved with their fellow men.
is that what happened with you?
Thats right. Due to my luminous disposition, I don't have repairs in leaving focuses of knowledge wherever I go. I know that I need of an enormous quantity of energy to fulfill my task, and that I can only obtain it of the massively. For that reason I am willing to diffuse the knowledge and to transform and to redefine the paradigms.
THE PORTION OF THE RULE OF THE NAGUAL OF THREE POINTS
As you know, my teacher get in contact with the three points naguals rule, when he tried to analyze certain anomalies inside the new group. It seems that I didn't synchronize with the rest of the apprentices. Then he dedicated me enough attention that made me see that I masked my energy configuration."
Do you mean that Don Juans seeing was mistaken?
Of course not!! What he misunderstood was in his seeing. To see is the perception final form; there arent any appearances, so it is not possible to confuse yourself. However, due the pressure that he eject on me during years; my energy fought to mold his. Thats common among the apprentices. As he was divided in fourth compartments, I also began to expose a similar energy load on my actions.
When I finally was able to take his influence off (thing that took me ten arduous working years) we both discovered something amazing, my glitter only had three compartments; this didnt correspond to an ordinary person, that usually has two, but neither to the common nagual. This discovery made a great shock in the seers group, nevertheless all of them had announce a deep change to the lineage.
Then don Juan recurred to his predecessors tradition and undusted a forgotten aspect of the rule. He told me that a naguals selection cant be consider as a personal whim by any way, because through all the times, it is the spirit the one that chooses the successor of a lineage. Therefore, my energy anomaly was part of a command; above all my urgent questions, he assured me that in its proper time, a messenger would explain me the function of my presence as a three points nagual.
Years later, in a time that I was visiting one of the National museum of Anthropology and History room, I watched an indian dressed like a tarahumara that seemed to have the biggest interest for one of the pieces exhibited there, walking around, he examined it through every possible watch spot, and he showed such an absolute concentration, that my curiosity was awoken, and I got closer to look.
When he saw me, the man started to talk me, and he began to explain me the meaning of a group of drawings carefully sculpted on stone, then while I was thinking about what he had told me. I remembered Don Juans promise and I realized that, that man had been sent by the spirit to transmit me the
three point naguals rule portion.
---- And what does that portion says?
It affirms that, as the party has a energy matrix containing the number seventeen (two naguals, four female in dreamers, four stalkers, four warriors and three messengers), the lineage formed by a party succession it also has a power structure, of number fifty two. The eagle ordered that every fifty two generations of four point naguals, it has to appear a three points nagual, so this one serves as cathartic action, to the propagation of new quadripartite lineages.
The rule also says that the three point naguals are destructive of the established order, because their nature is not creative or supplying, and it has the tendency of enslaving to all those that surround them. It adds that these naguals have to achieve freedom by themselves, because their energy isnt tune up to guide warriors groups.
As everything in the energy environment, the fifty two generation block is divided in two parts; the first twenty-six are for expansion and to create new lines, the remaining are oriented to the conservation and the isolation. That behavior pattern has been repeating millennium after millennium, so the sorcerers know that it is part of the rule.
As a result of the three points nagual activities the knowledge is spread and new cells of naguals of four points are formed. Starting from that point the lineages recapture the tradition of transmitting the teaching in lineal form.
How often do the three point naguals appear?
Approximately once per millennium. That is the age from the lineage to which I belong.
THE CURRENT SEERS TASK
Through verify the three points naguals rule, Don Juan deduced that the time of a new breed of warriors was getting closer inevitably, those who I have called the modern seers."
Is there any peculiarity in the luminous composition of those warriors?
No. In all the times the man's energy pattern has been very homogeneous, so the partys organization is the same. However, the current warriors are experiencing their brightness a landslide to the green, which means that they are recovering personal characteristics of the old seers. This is something accidental; although it is for sure that it is contemplated in the rule.
The true difference between the old and new seers it is of behavior. At the moment we are not submitted to the same repressions of previous times and, therefore, the sorcerers have less restriction. This clearly has a purpose: the popularization of the teaching.
I have been there to live a renovation time. My purpose is to close with golden key the nagual Juan Matuss line and to open possibilities to those who come later. For that reason I have said that I am the last nagual of my lineage, not in an absolute sense, but in a sense of radical change.
At this point, Carlos made a pause in his exhibition and he reminded me a chat that we had sustained at the beginning of our relationship.
In that time I asked him to told me histories of power. He answered me that he could not refuse to my request, but giving me those histories without getting through this path before, it would have trivialize them.
I hope what you have seen during these years fills your expectations. I made what I could, keeping in mind your limitations and mine. I know that you already have begun to educate your double of dreams and that guarantees that you can continue for yourself; your double won't leave you alone until you accomplish your totality. The theoretical part has finished and it is time of giving you a last gift."
The tone between familiar and solemn with which Carlos told me these words made me concentrate all my attention.
The final teaching says that the relationship that contracts the intent with all person that approaches with the nagual, occupies his place, anyone, inside the total context of the rule. So you are not alone, the sorcerers expect something from you.
What? -I asked him, a little confused.
He explained me:
All warriors have a task. Yours is that you fulfill what the spirit command you; that is your way to power.
And which is that task?
Well, your personal mission is something that your benefactor will communicate you some day. However, giving you the rule of the nagual of three points, I am following a long term strategy elaborated by Don Juan and that commits you with my teacher's intent.
What is expected from you is to say to whom surround you:-- you are free, you can fly for your own! You already have the necessary information, what else do you expect? Act faultlessly and you will see how the energy finds a way of being channeled '.
Tell everybody that, starting from Don Juans lineage culmination, the knowledge has been open. Each warrior is responsible for himself and he can be provided of the minimum opportunity that is to organize his own party.
