In the Face of Death.

[Eilias123]

I recently heard an amazing story from a friend of mine. He was bicycling through the rocky mountains with his girlfriend. During a break they were having a Grizzly bear approached them. The Bear took an offensive posture kneeling it's head low, growly, and walking slowly in a zig zag fashion toward.

 My friend was suddenly not afraid. He said his inner beast came out. His fear completely vanished, He got on his bike, and let his big coat hang loose giving him the appearance of being big. He then mimicked the movements of the bear while on his bike. Slowly going in a zig zag fashion. He faced off the bear with his posturing. The bear eventually turned around and began walking away, it would look back at him every now and then and sniff the air.
 During the whole experience, my friend described he was actually viewing the scene from above, and watching himself behave in that fashion. He was completely baffled as to how he exactly accomplished this.
 Don Juan talks at length in the power of silence, about using life threatening situations to stalk yourself into another position of the assemblage point. For some reason crucial circumstances sometimes forces people to utilize their energy body in ways they weren't previously aware of. His story actually reminded me of when Carlos and Don Juaan escaped the pursuit of a jaguar. during which carlos also saw himelf from another perspective, and entered into the parallel perception.
 Do any of you have such stories? Has an encounter with death ever helped you realize the true potential of your being?

About five years ago.. i was in a battle with a "team" of magicians..
they had much sobriety and quickness of mind..
and were for all my honour destroying me day by day.. a bit at a time...
there was no way i could win where i was..
they had sickened minds that could see levels of emotional and psychic hurt i would never think of.. as i am love based...
consequently.. i could not defend myself or my emotional state...
its like i was blindfolded by my good intent..
while they just chipped away at that i refused to see!
I resolved that there was only one place on earth i could escape them...
If i travelled to the edge of fear.. to a place they for all their sickness of mind were still afraid to tread..
then i could centralise my power in that arena..
and as their footsteps would never be able to follow mine.. they would not be able to effect my awarness..
so i resolved to create the maze of fear!
So i collected what money i had.. and set out to go and find some place they could not follow...
and essentially found the woman i had lost my virginity to...
and broke off from her toward the underworld...
I began to live on the streets as best i could, and refused to sleep for days...
after three days without sleep and constantly walking.. i moved into a second state of awarness..
and decided to see if i could be murdered as a joke...
I went to london on the train.. with the resolution of dying under a bridge...
i went to the london underground and was sorounded by green snakely shadows in the people i met..
as well as cartoon people.. and sorcereric bodies of potential..
it was like a calculated suicide..
i stood at the top of the escalator and resolved.. To CUT myself from the controls of my life..
and sever myself toward a death...
I then saw a vision of about twenty days.. decscending into a final oblivion...
i toyed with the idea of locking myself inside my mind..
and sending my body onward like a robot..unable to change direction..
a sort of self hypnosis...
I saw murdered spirits..
and spirits who told me where i could be killed if i stayed seated...or slept ..
and everytime i saw them .. my energy body and mind writhed and screamed to get away...
before they chased me into the canal..
or forced me off a building..
It was insanity itself..
on the day i finally decided to die. ceaselessly..
i saw how pointless it would be..
and decided to die a bit slower and study the process of death!
giving me the element of time to study as well!

it is quite apparent that i did not fail my fear challenge..
had i taken one step further off the edge of life..
i would have been dead.. for certain...
certain death when contemplating a jump from a tall tree.. which will take about six seconds...
and certain death which will take twentydays...
are two distinctly different feelings...
No going back..
although certain death over seventy years is quite a nice prospect..
but only because everyone does it!

I should point out that I am the nagual quetzacoatl'
And that a remarkable thing happened..
when i gave myself..
the insight i mentioned above!

I found the twenty day signs..

Im not and never have been a fraud or a mock shamen..
I am a nagual and have always known i am..
Its just taken a lot of warriorship to fix the keys to my awarness in position.. for the next stage!....
You may say.. "why wernt you born in the yukatan?..
But the truth of the matter is..
that the next stage is about a global mixing of spiritual awarness.
and many naguals.. are incarneted.. precise distances from the spirituality they are most aligned with..
if only so they exert a constant geographical pull..
secondly..
If you are immersed in a spirituality you are disposed to..
it can have the effect of lulling you to sleep..
or becoming a battle within a single vein of spirituality!.
