Coalescent Energy Spinning into Life

“Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist’s metaphysical value-judgments. An artist recreates those aspects of reality which represent his fundamental view of man’s nature.” ~ Ayn Rand

A reader and frequent contributor named Jaggg has responded to two different posts with nearly the same content. It is valid and I would like to discuss it here. Jaggg offered the following in response to my recent comment on the conversation on the Life out of Balance post while wondering why people maintain destructive illusions as their reality. Jaggg said, “in order to understand the value to an individual of an external energy, the individual must be aware of his own energy. At the moment of conception, a life begins. At that time, the new life emits a specific vibration. This frequency, or vibration, is a unique combination of the two persons involved. It is unique, because the frequency established is relative to the state of awareness the two persons hold at the moment it is created. Once a life force begins, the feminine energy takes over. The powerful vortex of the womb gathers in the fibers that will compose a soul. These fibers are coalesced and an individual emerges.”

Knowing the Unknowable

“Whatever is beyond our capacity to perceive is the unknowable. And the distinction between it and the knowable is crucial. Confusing the two would put seers in a most precarious position whenever they are confronted with the unknowable. Most of what’s out there is beyond our comprehension.” – The Fire from Within

My journey has provided me the opportunity to engage with those who would consider themselves to be highly spiritual people.  Most claim to have “memories” of having lived a past life or even many past lives.  I have met numerous people who claim to have past life recollections of being Mayan Priestesses, Cleopatras, Sidarthas, Crazy Horses, Pocahontas, John the Baptists, Ghandis, Joan of Arc, Jesus, the Virgin Mary, etc.  How is it possible that so many can claim to have been one person? 

Question the Answers!

“I am already given to the power that rules my fate. And I cling to nothing, so I will have nothing to defend. I have no thoughts, so I will see. I fear nothing, so I will remember myself. Detached and at ease, I will dart past the eagle to be free.” – The Eagle’s Gift

This quote spun through my mind all night. It has been one of my favorite quotes for many years. My thoughts, last night, encompassed the meaning of karma, the beliefs surrounding it, its effects and the illusion of it.

The Buddhists say that everything is an illusion. If this is so then karma must be an illusion as well. For most Americans, karma functions like fate, i.e. bad karma/good karma and is far too often associated with punishment/reward. In the true Buddhist sense, however, the word karma is more aligned with the sorcerers meaning of the word intent. The basic meaning of karma is action and the best definition for intent is the movable force. 

An Abstract Flight to Third Attention

“All of them pursued, single-heartedly, the same goal:  breaking the perceptual dispositions and biases that imprison us within the boundaries of the normal everyday world and prevent us from entering other perceivable worlds.

For sorcerers, to break such perceptual dispositions enables one to cross a barrier and leap into the unimaginable.  They call such a leap “the sorcerers’ crossing.”

Sometimes they refer to it as ‘the abstract flight,’ because it entails soaring from the side of the concrete; the physical, to the side of expanded perception and impersonal abstract forms.”

Taisha Abelar, The Sorcerer’s Crossing

Been kickin it in third attention - can’t find any words…

Magically Connecting with Intent

Intent in the Castaneda sense is to surrender and to be in the flow, to be connected with the greater force or the Indescribable Force that surrounds us at all times.  To softly touch upon infinity with barely a ripple.

My own experience with manifesting has strengthened my ability to manifest.  Each time I “put it out there” and manifest something serves to further validate the endless possibilities and potential that we each have to fully construct and create our reality.  It has become clear to have no attachment to outcome and to be careful what you ask for.

While in the Yucatan this month, my traveling companion and partnered warrior on this path of knowledge and awareness joined me in simultaneous connection with intent and we walked an amazing tale of power into existence.  Months ago, in the early planning stages of our journey to the Yucatan we created the intention of sharing in sacred ceremony with a Mayan shaman to further open the gateways to higher levels of awareness. We had asked several people if they knew of anyone and did some research on the internet to no avail.

Chacmools and the Dream

“Don Juan explained that the gigantic reclining figures called the chacmools, found in the pyramids of Mexico, were the representations of guardians. He said that the look of emptiness in their eyes and faces was due to the fact that they were dream-guards, guarding dreamers and dreaming sites.” – Carlos Castaneda

The next couple of weeks bring forth the opportunity to drive around the Yucatan Peninsula exploring the ancient Mayan ruins, traversing second attention and navigating the non-ordinary world of dreaming the filaments of the universe.

“Look, it cannot be seen – it is beyond form. Listen, it cannot be heard – it is beyond sound. Grasp, it cannot be held – it is intangible. These three are indefinable, they are one. From above it is not bright; From below it is not dark: Unbroken thread beyond description. It returns to nothingness. Form of the formless, Image of the imageless, It is called indefinable and beyond imagination. Stand before it – there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end. Stay with the Tao, Move with the present.” – Lao Tzu

Losing Human Form

“Everything we say is a reflection of the world of people. You talk and act the way you do because you’re clinging to the human form.” – don Juan, The Power of Silence

The dominant paradigm is a by-product of the foreign installation.  It challenges humans to comply with a prescribed mode of behavior that does not inherently belong to them.   It has been ingrained since the time of conception and is cultivated throughout the lifetime of each human, dictating to them how to act, speak, and conduct themselves in alignment with the unconscious culture, the people that keep the wheel spinning, each of them a mere cog in the wheel.

The Great Illusion

“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear as it is – infinite.” – William Blake

Last week presented an opportunity to get away, far away from humans; the only sounds being the inhabitants of the forest and the occasional airplane overhead.  It was one of those times of necessary withdrawal from the world in order to untangle the energetic lines, or fibers, that had come in and made my thinking crowded.  The lines are essentially the ideas and thoughts, situations and experiences that cross my zone of awareness and are, for all intents and purposes, collected by me.   It was definitely time to unravel the lines.

Suffice it to say that none of the lines really belonged to me at all, they were the fibrous lines of multitudes of people across eons of time to this current era that were floating within the abysmal void of infinity waiting, just waiting, for someone to grab onto them.  It’s been an interesting journey through time, amazing to be my own witness in determining which lines to grasp a hold of.  And sometimes I grab on to too many at once, resulting in the need to retreat, untangle them from the creation that has birthed in my mind and to let them go.

Third Attention

An ordinary man sees the world as it is, as he’s been taught, conditioned and instructed to see it. A warrior sees the lines of the universe and knows the interconnectedness of all things.

The first attention basically consists of everything that ordinary man considers what it means to be human. It is the reality that has been constructed and developed in order to deal with the daily world and encompasses an awareness restricted to the physical body.

In second attention, one operates on an energetic level and the second attention is largely developed through deliberate training or accidental trauma which puts one back in touch with the energetic essence with which they were born. Sorcerers can see from second attention. This seeing includes the ability to hold the awareness of inorganic beings, to perceive energy directly and the capacity to connect with silent knowledge and intent. 

Structure in the Nagual’s World?

“Man has a dark side. It’s called stupidity. In the same measure that ritual forced the average man to construct huge churches that were monuments to self-importance, ritual also forced sorcerers to construct edifices of morbidity and obsession. As a result, it is the duty of every nagual to guide awareness so it will fly toward the abstract, free of liens and mortgages.” – The Power of Silence

Someone recently emailed me asking why they are having difficulty finding meeting places for “Castaneda enthusiasts” or Toltec Warriors.  To them it seemed that this was an insurmountable task and they even suggested the possibility of forming an organization of sorts to accommodate others in their pursuit to congregate with like-minded warriors.
