6:30 not doing is a key concept in Taoism (called non-doing). another way to "stop the world" (internal dialogue) is to practice mindfulness, and a 3rd and most reliable method is anapanasati - simple* breath meditation * note Juan said stopping the world is ridiculously simple (I'm paraphrasing) in one of Carlos's books. it's not tensegrity and other special rituals nor do you have to drop bundles of mud and reeds on a cougar's head to enter "the second attention"/switch off the first attention (called one's "thinking mind" in Buddhism & animism-buddhism syncretic traditions of SE Asia and India, "jungle shamans" I called them, that are still extant to this day). 🙏🏻 happy & fruitful SEEking to us all ❤
13 mins in and I have to stop to take a break. stopping the world, the warriors way, doing nothing ect. Victor explains all of these concepts in such a manner that i can actually see them operate before. like watching a holographic simulation of a process or act.
If you r ad Castaneda, the first 15 minutes should be just a summary of what you already know. You shouldn't take a break, you should say "yeah, yeah, Im aware of this, what's your point, sanches"
In the early 1970s I was a university student in Canada. I had studied eastern philosophy for some years and had become involved with psychedelics. I would not discover the Don Juan books for some two or three years. Casteneda's books would eventually explain a number of baffling experiences I had during this period. Firstly having discovered the Christian mystics; Theresa of Avalon, Meister Elkhart, St John of the Cross etc. through Aldous Huxley's Perennial Philosophy I had developed my own meditation to subdue my ego. One afternoon while walking alone on campus I was pursuing the censorship of my thoughts. Suddenly a disembodied voice loudly and clearly said "If you continue to pursue your practise you will die". I immediately heeded the warning and ended my practise. I intuitively treated this voice as having simply conveyed information. I sensed no personality, God or angel. When years later I read the Don Juan saga I learned that this is the Voice of Seeing and yes there was no one home. In another section of the books Don Juan explains that mystics in aggressively assaulting their selves are actually attacking the egg of energy enveloping us and protecting us from death. The mystic unwittingly rips open his or her cocoon of energy and perishes. Another uncanny incident occurred when home from school for a long weekend. I awoke on Sunday morning with the feeling of a heavy sphere in my head. It gradually descended through my body all day long and disappeared though my feet in the evening. Years later I read Carlos Casteneda's account of his losing the human form. It was exactly as I had experienced it. After finally discovering the Don Juan stories, so perhaps under their influence, I had other experiences as described by Carlos. I moved my assemblage point in an encounter with a telepathic young woman attacking me emotionally (magically). The most disturbing was a year and half of revelations, mind altering and often terrifying. I was forced to review many incidents from my life infusing them with new meaning and destroying my belief in my mundane life. I have only recently realized this was the Recapitulation of one's life practised as a discipline amongst warriors, but forcefully imposed upon me, having no teacher I suppose. As I am not a joiner I never sought out Carlos or his organization. But I cannot deny the power of these works. I am definitely not a nagual. Strange things happen to me but I cannot accomplish anything through my will. So now to discuss the fraud charges levied against Carlos which appear to be well authenticated. The later books of Castaneda have much to do with Stalking. Stalking is the creation of a false crisis designed to move a student's assemblage point and push them into magical realms. I believe the whole Castaneda phenomena was an exercise in Stalking. The World was Stalked. To what end. Sorry no idea.
The best way to shut down the internal dialogue is to listen completely and intently to another person You cannot therefore, listen and at the same time, pay attention, to your own thoughts.
Using petty tyrants is a maneuver that trains you to function in the unknown. When you use them you don't warp their energy, you simply allow them to teach you to be impeccable. In terms of energy exchange, their energy wasn't stolen, and yours was tempered. What I'm curious about is.... How do the death defiers really get the energy to remain? In Don Juan's words, "I'm alone in a hostile universe and I've learned to say, so be it." I don't trust anyone🖖😂♥️
When I was making progress I was healthier and focused without being focused...I used to be able to control my dreams to an extent as soon as I became aware I was dreaming I would get sucked into a chaotic uncontrollable dream
I'm in between the second and third hurdle...and I'm extremely exhausted I do practice his teachings but sometimes the time he was in allowed him to do these things it's very hard to do this during covid lockdown how do I successfully disassociated from my damnable ego anger is the hurdle I cannot over come I almost did then covid happened forcing back into there God forsaken simulation
This isn't 'their simulation'. This is God's simulation. Shedding attachment is the key to progression. Think of it like a video game. Every level will bring different challenges. The key is to not forget every level, no matter what challenges it brings, is not real. It's a construct to keep us preoccupied so we aren't walking the true path. Don't let the game make you angry.
The teachings from the books are made complicated and cloudy by CCs religious upbringing and stubborness... They're simple and don't take effort,they take only change of action,views and habits...
Anger comes from lying to oneself. This may take the form of toxins in the liver and kidneys, or self talk which is not genuinely in alignment with action. Most likely it is born from the desire to live differently and the corresponding lack of action which brings this
In the same way how we know that thsi real realities are not just halulucinogenic efects of the habit we are doit in every day live. How e know that this reality is just ilusion wich we are programing to stay. When you go sleep you cannot control or choos the contest of your dream but alweys you go sllep dream time arise and no one programing . I dream once that Im in deep ocean and whose no problem to exist just like fisch do I no planing to go in this dream but I dont take muscroom so what is real what im no have route no have definicion. Death arise for everyone but meny are scare paranoic like in covid 19 time people are scare to death paranoic no peace no acepting this is bad halucinacion why in covid time you dont just stay in peace run for save with vacine shoot ( 80% peole look for shoot injection) save energie keep donknow mind then live become rich no fire exist .In the end of this comentary< if some one give you meskalito in this time 5 h you will se hjow you cannot stop halucinacion this 5 h become real for you
You're implying that we should BREAK certain habits and routines in order to come into contact with this increased energy you're talking about. But aren't certain routines and habits useful in doing what Castaneda describes?
The exercise of walking backwards is fraught with DANGER: falling backwards and succumbing to a CRIPPLING INJURY, or even - DEATH! Most dreams are filled with all kinds of NONSENSE from the brain cleaning out mental waste and dealing with the days' thoughts. Some dreams however, are meaningful.
It was so dark one night that I could not tell which way to go. I could not see my feet and show ice power walk raising my knees High and going forward. I was on a man-made deck around a big house. I chose the wrong direction with my eyes closed and raising my feet high before I put them down I stepped off of a deck onto soft Earth and grass. When I opened my eyes the local attack Pitbull what about a foot from my face, I told him not to laugh at me and he ran off. I left it myself took another sighting and continued. There was no injury. And living in a small boat through the mangroves at night when there were no stars or Moon and it was totally dark I would use a long stick if I could find one on the ground and walk the straight path to my boat with my eyes closed, and it appeared I could see the trees and the path even with my eyes closed. I was younger then and now I walk into the most painful trees fall onto the most Twisted roots, I do not feel it at the time days later I feel pains in funny places. And there are no bruises. My vision is going I don't just see lights at night I see quadruple. For the last 10 years I've been relying on Modern Western medicine and their Pharmaceuticals. One doctor recommend another doctor and they all give you a pill to take and they never consider the consequences. Be aware be very aware of what the educated people say and do.
How many types of Indians or humans per se have been influenced by the use of psychotropic plants. The plant kingdom is in the billions and much more than humans. The organic plants have a biochemistry that synchronizes with humans. The plants used on Doctor Castaneda are just a minimal comparison to other plants that have an equivalent outcome. The books are ethnographic depiction of a faction used by the Toltecs; there are many!
Don juan did exist but he had different sudanames, dending upon which position the asslembedge point was locked on.! He was called grau and abalar, depending upon whether he was stalking or dreaming.! Of course dreaming conciousness and the " energy" ( astral body) body.! Altered states was what was being stalked.! Taking him into different words...! He deffinately existed in one name or another.! For various means ,his name triggered, the asslembledge, fixing point.! As like in post hypnotic suggestions.!

Work shopped with Victor in the mountains outside Mexico city. Best time of my life.
We did also late 1990's ... Amazing times ...
It's not just the ENERGY of a person that is involved in his actions, but more precisely - how this energy is used by his WILL.
Inner silence grows as ego dies...The veil consists of Inner dialogue...seeing replaces looking as the veil is lifted and dreaming power increases ...
Really excellent synopsis.
Fantastic author... A really important man!
A concise accurate and coherent explanation of the teachings of Juan Matus.....

Question: if a warrior never thinks of other humans as means to an end, what are petty tyrants?
A petty tyrant is any type of bully
Using petty tyrants is a maneuver that trains you to function in the unknown. When you use them you don't warp their energy, you simply allow them to teach you to be impeccable. In terms of energy exchange, their energy wasn't stolen, and yours was tempered.

Anger is defeat...

You didn't use the petty tyrant to your advantage, you let it take advantage of you.
How do we know that these ALTERNATE REALITIES are not just the HALLUCINOGENIC EFFECTS of the plants that he was using?
