Living in a Self-Aware Universe
November 1st, 2011 § 10 Comments
The objective of the Rule of the nagual is to generate parties; that is, self-aware organisms capable of flying into the immensity out there. Such organisms are made up by the sum of a group of warriors who have harmonized their individual intents. The purpose of that design is to perpetuate a non-human dimension of awareness. ~ Carlos Castaneda, Encounters with the Nagual
I’ve been reading this quote and looking at it from multiple perspectives. Not too long ago I said, yes…we must assemble a new band of awareness to ensure that we can leap into freedom when death comes knocking on our door and exist as pure energetic awareness without repeating the patterns by repositioning ourselves, again, in the karmic wheel of life. I said that it is important to create energetic hubs of awareness that will allow us to move completely beyond the fixated assemblage point of reason. I said a lot of things and now I find myself moving beyond those thoughts, ideas and sensate intuitions. For this reason, and I’ve said this before, don’t believe anything I say.
The purpose of that design is to perpetuate a non-human dimension of awareness. Perhaps there is no need to perpetuate a non-human dimension of awareness and this awareness like many other things will need to rest, to become extinct (if it even exists). Or maybe, the non-human dimension of awareness is eternal and our thoughts of perpetuating it are nothing more than the ultimate in self-importance. Maybe the zealousness found in a warrior of freedom is his or her own fear of termination. Make death an advisor and recapitulate your ass off so you are ready to go at any moment and yet…hold on fervently to the awareness that will allow you to dart past the eagle to be free.
Non-human awareness equals inorganic awareness. Inorganic beings are, amongst other things, phantoms. It seems that part of the recapitulation process towards total freedom will be to recapitulate even awareness to avoid becoming an inorganic being. And when you get a group of warriors harmonizing their individual intents do we then create an inorganic party of ghosts? And then, is our “awareness” held captive in an inorganic realm from which we warriors will inevitably seek freedom thereby repeating another patternistic reality?
This is a difficult chapter for me to write, to wrap my mind around. It challenges my core beliefs as a warrior of freedom and presents to me the task of potentially recapitulating awareness. I used to say that when I die I want to have my full conscious awareness with me in whatever realm I’m going to. That I don’t want to “learn” again, I just want to know everything that I’ve already learned. Ha, ha!!! Salvation! And then what I wonder? To have my full awareness would ultimately lead to another repetition, would it not?
If there is a realm beyond this earthly realm of existence I surmise that if our earthly human awareness, (warrior awareness, sorcerer awareness) remains with us then we will have no choice but to recapitulate that as well. And then what? And then we begin again to create order in chaos. Nooo! Suffice it to say that the universe exists as a formless potential that only becomes manifest when observed by conscious beings, sentient beings who collapse formlessness into a space-time reality. I recall reading somewhere that awareness of the quantum self brings about collapse. Perhaps we warriors are potentially collapsing out of space-time reality?
This leaves us with what? Emptiness? Pure conscious awareness? Unconsciousness? Untapped creative potential and I’m not talking exclusively about artwork, writing, building, etc? Unconscious creativity, therefore, becomes an essential modality rooted in pure knowing and it is not our knowing. Quite the paradox, eh? This creation comes from a realm of conscious knowing, silent knowledge, and most importantly, unknowing. Something entirely new that extends far beyond the awareness that we achieve when we recapitulate the totality of all of our awareness. I’m looking forward to continuing my connection with silent knowledge and further exploring the unknown. I have way more questions than answers.
There is an unborn, unoriginated, uncreated, unformed. If there were not this unborn, this unoriginated, this uncreated, this unformed, there would be no escape from the world of the born, the originated, the created, the formed. Since there is an unborn, unoriginated, uncreated and unformed, there is an escape from the born, originated, created and formed. ~ Buddha
You are right on all accounts but you have to do this before death before the crossover – you need to raise your frequency to be able to connect your higher body consciousness with your 3D ilusional consciousness. The nagual es el caminante del cielo – and you find your way in silence.
I love the blown open honesty and the total commitment to awareness conveyed in/by this article. You’ve highlighted some very deep issues and brought them up for examination in clean clarity. Your questing, insights, and writing are like a surgeon with a fine scalpel…. cutting away attachments that more often than not keep us tethered to our own projections onto the world of dreams. Thank you once again.
“power is and power moves”
Lately I float in this nebulous space unknowing and not so concerned with knowing. i did ask a shaman friend recently: “what now? what new writing on the wall? From the place of silent knowledge, the reply:
“THERE ARE NO RULES.”
Good conundrum… Perhaps manifestation is that continual experiment of experience by the unmanifested. Did we exist as individual unmanifests to choose part in this experience? If not, perhaps even our individual existence manifests only in manifestation, meaning we are here, but not there (in the unmanifested). The option to BE FREE then becomes the option to either A) BE – in the unmanifested, or B) BE in the manifested, but outside a bigger plan (life-death cycle) . Avendar Dragon wrote some very interesting things about this in his books about his interaction with his Master Q -a Mayan death defier. To date this source provided the best answers along the questions you raise here. Thanks for the blog.
Just an idea dropping here.
Freedom to be attained… is not up to the individual… its more I would say in Spirits hands.

hmmm!
in my view there is no way to evaluate the third attention from the narrow view of the first and second attention
It sounds somehow like evaluating the second attention whilst being anchored in the first one.
Did you read “The Holographic Universe” by Michael Talbot?
This is a book describing the way our perception works, or can work.
My favorite part in the book is about a young female shaman who can make a grove of trees blink in and blink out. Hahaha. It shows how everything truly is an illusion and we can change it by changing our perception.
Just think…we can manifest things we need like food, and demanifest the refuse or the garbage back into the energy it came from. Hahaha. This is so excellent I think everyone should be aware it’s all a matter of awareness or perspective.
We can teleport or translocate, just as Carlos did from the airport to the market. There’s a book out on this ability. It’s called “Teleportation! A Practical Guide For The Metaphysical Traveler” by Gwen Totterdale and Jessica Severn.
I’m practicing already. Hope you all will join me!
Good to see, so many people got the answer.
What was the question please?
unknowing
i look to the sky
unknowing
i look to the sun
unknowing
i listen to the silent trees

the unknowing is the driving force
