Inorganic Beings

E-1.) INORGANIC BEINGS

WHAT ARE THEY?

THEY ARE FORCES NEITHER GOOD NOR EVIL IN THE NAGUAL
an ally is a force, a tension..just like in the case of a tree, the only way to know what an ally is, is by experiencing it. TOP,84. it is not your reason that puts ally together. It is the body. You have perceived ally in many degrees and on many occasions. Each of those perceptions was stored in your body. The sum of those pieces is the ally. TOP,85..They could perhaps be called spirits, they aren't guardians...they are forces, neither good nor bad, just forces that a sorcerer learns to harness....SR,39. The allies are neither good nor evil, but are put to use by the sorcerers for whatever purpose they see fit.SR,40. ..tenuous energy projected through worlds (have no real power) TAOD,100 The ally is something which is outside..the realm of reason. It can only be witnessed only at the center of will at times when our ordinary view has stopped, therefore it is properly the nagual. Sorcerers, however, can learn to perceive the ally in a most intricate way and in doing so they get too deeply immersed in a new view. TOP,237. The spirit is a force (in this case he is referring to the spirit of the water hole) and as such, it responds only to strength. SR,180. Don't call them spirits..call them allies, call them inexplicable forces. SR,234

THEY ARE CONSCIOUS BEINGS
....there are two types of conscious beings roaming the earth, the inorganic and the organic... POS,69 The only similarity between inorganic and organic beings is that all of them have the awareness-bestowing pink or peach or amber emanations. FFW,180

THEY ARE LUMINOUS MASSES
both are luminous masses..inorganic beings are long and candle like but opaque..(not as bright as organic luminous masses) POS,69

THEIR ENERGY SIZZLES
..see its energetic sizzling ...bubbling with some heatlike inner activity.. TAOD,89,164,176

THEY LIVE LONGER THAN ORGANIC BEINGS
....the life of inorganic beings are infinitely longer and their consciousness infinitely more calm and deep than organic beings...TAOD, 45,46,47,48,87....Inorganic beings live infinitely longer than organisms. FFW,181

NOT AS MANY INORGANIC BEINGS AS ORGANIC ONES
Inorganic beings are not as plentiful as organic ones, but this was offset by the greater number of bands of inorganic awareness. Also the differences among the inorganic beings themselves are more vast than the difference among organisms, because organisms belong only to one band while inorganic beings belong to seven bands. FFW,181.

THEIR AWARENESS IS VERY SLOW
....their awareness is very slow in comparison with ours. It will take years for a sorcerer to be acknowledged by inorganic beings...they are seperated from us by a formidable barrier-energy that moves at a different speed...they are pretty morbid by themselves...TAOD,45,46,47,48,87...

THE INORGANIC BEINGS ARE FEMALE
the inorganic beings are female.. they don't pursue females, they only go after males TAOD, 188

THEY HAVE EMOTIONS
...they have emotional dependency, sadness, joy, wrath, and so forth... and love; a kind of love man can't even conceive. FFW,100...they are capable of giving back inconceivable affection. FFW,123

WHAT DOES THE COCOON OF AN INORGANIC BEING LOOK LIKE?

THE COCOON IS A FORMLESS RECEPTACLE WITH LOW LUMINOSITY
Inorganic beings produced by the seven other bands of awareness are characterized by having a container that has no motion; it is rather a formless receptacle with a low degree of luminosity. It does not look like a cocoon of organic beings. It lacks the tautness, the inflated quality that makes the organic beings look like luminous balls bursting with energy. FFW,180

WHERE IS THEIR ASSEMBLAGE POINT?
inorganic beings have their AP on the lower part of their containers. They are throughly alien to man, but akin to plants. Others have it anywhere on the upper part of their containers. Those are close to man and other organic creatures. FFW,184

THEIR LUMINOUS GAP IS DIFFERENT SO THEY LIVE LONGER
....the gap of inorganic beings is really different. It's more like a long thread, a hair of luminosity ..consequently, inorganic beings are infinitely more durable than we are. FFW,246

HOW DO INORGANIC BEINGS INTERACT WITH US?

THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO EMOTIONS ESPECIALLY ANIMAL FEAR
They are attracted to emotions. Animal fear is what attracts them the most; it releases the kind of energy that suits them. the emanations are rallied inside them by animal fear... new seers saw that the allies are attracted to the energy released by emotions; love is equally effective, as well as hatred, or sadness. FFW,121

THEY FEED ON OUR LIFE-FORCE
...The allies feed directly on to our life-force in the middle of the stomach, they usually make us sick, and then we see them as heavy, ugly creatures. SRP,137 They are forces and as such they can drain you to nothing.SRP,136

THE INORGANIC BEINGS CAN FOLLOW YOU
the spirit of the waterhole around my house can follow you any where, unless you have a spirit catcher. SR,227...

CAN INORGANIC BEINGS HURT US?

ALLIES CANNOT ACT ON ANYTHING DIRECTLY/OR KILL US DIRECTLY
allies could not take the lead or act upon anything directly; they could, however act upon man in an indirect way. ..coming in contact with an ally was dangerous because the ally was capable of bringing out the worst in a person. SR,43. ...they are as dangerous as we men are, no more, no less... they cannot kill us directly, but they can certainly can frighten us to death. FFW,112 ..the allies cannot push at all but they could scare me and make me fall to the ground. On the ground..the allies could hold anybody down. FFW,262 ...after I had exhausted all my energy, the ally managed to shove me into the fire, and I was badly burned. FFW,118 an ally pushed him into a pile of burning wood, and he burned himself a little on the knee and shoulder blade.. SR,44 It (ally) took the lead and moved towards us, crushing small rocks and hard lumps of dirt. TOP,256. they are so real that they kill people, especially those who stray into the wilderness and have no personal power...it applies (sleeping in the wilderness alone) only to the wilderness, where there are no people around, especially the wilderness in high mountains. JTI,176,177 the ally was going too fast for your strength and a direct jolt with him would be very injurious to you. SR,228. the entities of the night moved along your left..they were trying to merge with your death. JTI,178. There were many ways in which such a being put a warrior to the test. it might suddenly leap in front of him, in the most horrendous appearance, or it might grab the man from the back and not turn him loose and keep him pinned down for hours. it might topple a tree on him. DJ said that those were truly dangerous forces, and although they could not kill a man hand to hand, they could cause his death by fright, or by actually letting objects fall on him, or by appearing suddenly and causing him to stumble, lose his footing, and go over the precipice. SR,234. He told me that if I ever found one of those beings under inappropriate circumstances I should never attempt to struggle with it because it would kill me. It would rob my soul. So I should throw myself to the ground and bear it until morning. SR,234

STATEMENT THAT ALLY WALKED OVER CC'S NECK
...in order to do that he had to touch you. The double tapped you on the neck, on the same spot the ally walked over you years ago. TOP,77.

THEY ARE NOT REALLY AGGRESSIVE
allies are not really aggressive its just that they have a different kind of energy. They are more like an electric current. FFW,121

THEY RELEASE A DANGEROUS PERSPIRATION
contact with the allies, produced a most injurious perspiration that had to be washed off immediately. SRP,148

HOW DO WE PERCEIVE THEM?

THEY ARE FORMLESS
..( a formless energy field POS,69)...The allies have no form.. they are like a presence, like a wind, like a glow. SRP,136.
An ally was formless, it was perceived as a quality, it was tameable, the ally had a rule. TDJ,200. An ally was believed to be an entity existing outside and independent of oneself, yet in spite of being a seperate entity an ally was believed to be formless. TDJ,200.

THE ALLIES TAKE MANY DIFFERENT FORMS
Ordinarily, we don't perceive the containers of inorganic beings at all. FFW,182.. Allies would look like ordinary people...real people look like luminous eggs when you see them. Nonpeople always look like people. That's what I meant when I said you cannot see an ally. The allies take different forms. They look like dogs, coyotes, birds, even tumbleweeds, or anything else. the only difference is that when you see them they look like what they're pretending to be. Everything has its own way of being when you see. Just like men look like eggs, other things look like something else, but the allies can be seen only in the form they are portraying. That form is good enough to fool our eyes. A dog is never fooled, neither is a crow.... The allies just take the outward appearance of whatever is around and then we take them for what they are not. it is not their fault that we have taught our eyes only to look at things. SR,40 .....an ally could not be seen because an ally adopted any form... SR,39.
... to a crow it (the ally) looks like a pointed hat. Round and wide at the bottom, ending in a long point. Some of them shine, but the majority are dull and appear to be very heavy. They resemble a dripping piece of cloth. they are foreboding shapes.... (when DJ sees them) they look like whatever they're pretending to be. they take any shape or size that suits them. they could be shaped like a pebble or a mountain. SR,41.
In the company of men they behave like men. In the company of animals they behave like animals. Animals are usually afraid of them; however, if they are accustomed to seeing the allies they leave them alone. SR,42... some people in the street are not really people. SR,42... if you find two of them they were always two of the same kind. SR,43. they do,at times, materialize themselves in the daily world right in front of us. Most of the time,though, their invisible presence is marked by a bodily jolt, a shiver of sorts that comes from the marrow of the bones. TAOD,45,46,47,48,87...
I focused my eyes on a spot to the side of the lighter silhouette and I could make out a chartreuse glow on it. TOP,21.
they argued that there must have been hundreds, if not thousands, of cases in which foreign energy slips unnoticed through natural barriers into our human world.. TAOD,13 the spirit came to you as the ally came to you today. you could not see it,though, because you did not have the speed;however,that day I took you to the water canyon and put you on a rock, you knew the spirit was almost on top of you without actually seeing it. Those spirits are helpers. One needs to be impeccable to hold them at bay. SR,227.
(Spirits look) different for every man and so are the allies. For you an ally would apparently look like a man you once knew, or like a man you will always be about to know; that's the bent of your nature. You are given to mysteries and secrets. I'm not like you so an ally for me is something very precise. SR,227.

THE ALLIES AS MOTHS (METAPHOR)

(when asked about the moth)..you know that was an ally. TOP,84. Calling the ally a moth is again only a way of talking, a way of making that immensity out there understandable. The way one understands the ally is a personal matter. TOP,86...For reasons inconceivable to us the ally selected the form of a moth to manifest itself to you...the ally is only for the onlookers who are associated with you. For you, the ally is only an effect, a sensation in your body, or a sound, or the golden specks of knowledge. it remains as a fact..that by choosing the form of a moth, the ally is telling genaro and me something of great importance. moths are the givers of knowledge and the friends and helpers of sorcerers. TOP,93.

YOU CAN PERCEIVE THEM EASIER AT NIGHT
I call them entities of the night because one can perceive them in the darkness with greater ease. They are here around us at all times. in daylight, however, it is more difficult to perceive them, simply because the world is familiar to us, and that which is familiar takes precedence. In the darkness, on the other hand, everything is equally strange and very few things take precedence, so we are more susceptible to those entities at night.... JTI,176,177.
I noticed again a certain flicker or a wave in the darkness to my left. It was not a sight proper but rather a feeling and yet I was sure I was perceiving it with my eyes. JTI,174. I heard a faint rumble... this was the peculiar way in which an ally heralded its presence. JTI,202.

YOU CANNOT LOOK AT AN ALLY CLOSELY
A feature of the allies was that they never allowed me to scrutinize them thoroughly. I had tried several times to focus my undivided attention on them, but every time I would get dizzy and dissociated. SRP,126.

TYPES OF INORGANIC BEING

WATERY INORGANIC BEINGS VS. FIERY ONES
Watery inorganic beings are more given to excesses. ..more loving, more capable of imitating or perhaps feelings. As opposed to the fiery ones, who were thought to be more serious, more contained than the others, but also more pompous. TAOD, 55

THREE KINDS OF BEINGS
There are three kinds of beings..those that cannot give anything because they have nothing to give, those that can only cause fright, and those that have gifts...SR,232

NASTY SPIRITS AND SILENT SPIRITS
most of the time... another type of being is associated with the silent one, a nasty spirit whose only quality is to cause fear and which always hovers around the abode of the silent one. that nasty type follows people right into their homes and makes life impossible for them. I know people who had to move out of their houses because of them. SR,232.. the most common way of frightening people was to appear as a dark shadow shaped as a man that roamed around the house, creating a frightening clatter or creating the sound of voices, or as a dark shadow that would suddenly lurch out from a dark corner. SR,233.
The only wise thing one can do with that nasty type is to forget about it and leave it alone. SR,233.

GIVER OF SECRETS SPIRITS
the third type of spirit was a true ally, a giver of secrets; that special type existed in lonely abandoned places, places which were almost inaccessible. he said that a man who wished to find one of these beings had to travel far and go by himself. At a distant and lonely place the man had to take all the necessary steps alone. (more description of what to be aware of). SR,233.

USELESS INORGANIC BEINGS
Useless allies., of which there are staggering numbers, are those that have emanations inside them for which we have no match inside ourselves. They are so different from us as to be thoroughly unstable. Other allies, which are remarkably few in number, are akin to us, meaning they possess occasional emanations that match ours.
FFW,119 There were other forces at large in those lava mountains, forces which did not resemble the allies; they did not make any noise, but appeared only as a fleeting shadows, and did not have any power at all. JTI,206.

THE INORGANIC BEINGS REALM/DARK REGIONS

DARK REGIONS ARE THE COUNTERPARTS OF THE EARTH
the counterpart of the earth was what they knew as the dark regions. These practices were by far the most dangerous. They dealt with entities without organic life. Living creatures that are present on earth and populate it together with all organic beings. FFW,99

WHAT DOES THE INORGANIC BEING'S REALM LOOK LIKE?
the inorganic being's realm looks like a yellow-fog world to the physical eye. TAOD,133.. (called the dark region by old seers) the ally you heard its roar like the sound of a jet plane. He'll be waiting for you at the edge of a plain, a plain I will take you to myself... genaro will also have to go with us to that valley. JTI,255.

HOW MANY LEVELS IN THE DARK REGIONS?
... the ancient seers counted seven levels. FFW,108. a master sorcerer could take his disciple on a journey with him and could actually pass through the ten layers of the other world. SR,99 There are worlds upon worlds, right here in front of us... if you had enough power you could call them back. JTI,133.

A MASTER SORCERER COULD TAKE HIS DISCIPLE ON A JOURNEY WITH HIM AND COULD ACTUALLY PASS THROUGH THE TEN LAYERS OF THE OTHER WORLD.
a master sorcerer could take his disciple on a journey with him and could actually pass through the ten layers of the other world. The master provided that he was an eagle, could start at the very bottom layer and then go through each successive world until he reached the top. Evil sorcerers and dilettantes could be at best... go through only three layers. SR,99

ONCE YOU GO INTO THE DIFFERENT LEVELS ITS DIFFICULT TO GET OUT
once the allies get out of their level it is very difficult for them to go back. The same prevails for man. if seers venture into a level of those creatures, chances are they are never heard of again.
FFW,117.

OTHER PLACES/ANYWHERE/WATERHOLES

The ally is waiting for you, that's for sure, but it is not at the edge of any plain. it is right here, or there, or in any other place. the ally is waiting for you, just like death is waiting for you, everywhere and nowhere. TOP,85.
The spirits of water holes are proper to specific places. (further desc. of different spirits CC has encountered.) SR,227. .....that allies do appear around water holes. FFW,111 Since the natural abode of the entities of the night are rocks and crevices. JTI,176,177.

SPONGE WORLD
Description of inside an inorganic being TAOD,88,100
..the labyrinth of penumbra. TAOD,100

GETTING AN INORGANIC BEING AS AN ALLY

CALLING THE INORGANIC BEINGS

GETTING AN ALLY REQUIRED STEPS AND PROCEDURES
the acquiring of an ally required.. the most precise teaching and the following of stages and steps without a single deviation. There are many such ally powers in the world but DJ was only familiar with two of them. (devil's weed and the little smoke) TDJ,53.

SOUND OF THE INORGANIC BEINGS
a very special tapping sound.. called the call of the moths..In order to produce it one had to use the inside edge of the left hand and the lips. SRP,132..it sounded very melodious.SRP,218..like tapping on wood. TOP,24...the sound had a mesmerizing richness and depth. TOP,43....it was like a muffled creaking of a branch rubbing against another, or like the sputtering of a small motor heard from a distance. It changed scales, like a musical tone, creating an eerie rhythm. TOP,33... each sputter was rich and deep; some were produced in a low key, others in a high one. They had rhythm and a specific duration; some were long. I heard them like a single unit of sound; others were short and happened in a cluster, like the staccato sound of a machine gun. TOP,33. From among them (boulders) came the most exquisite music. It was a fluid, uninterrupted, eerie flow of sounds. TDJ,99. those entities of the night usually made very melodious sounds but were at a great disadvantage in reproducing the raspiness of human cries or bird whistlings. He cautioned me to always stop moving if I ever heard such a sound... JTI,172....
The strange sound.. made by the moth.. registered as a felling in my body and not as a thought in my mind. It occurred to me that it was not life threatening or malevolent at all. It was sweet and simple. It was like a child's call. TOP,34. the human voice attracts spirits. JTI,97 the ally was attracted by the flames and manifested itself through a series of consistent noises.JTI,206
It was very difficult to start by oneself on the path towards the nagual and that I was indeed fortunate to have been launched by the moth and its song...its richness made me feel as if I were inside an echo chamber. As the sound grew in loudness or proximity, I also detected, in a dreamlike state, that something was moving on top of the boulders. TOP,209.

OWL'S ARE THE INORGANIC BEING'S MESSENGERS
I chose the owls cry because owl's are the entities messengers. To imitate the cry of an owl brings them out. They become dangerous to you not because they are naturally malevolent but because you were not impeccable. JTI,179

SPIRIT CATCHER
Description of.. TOP,213., another description of SR,160.
Nothing in the life of a sorcerer is made out of anything else. If something is anything at all, it is the thing itself. if you knew wild boars you would realize my spirit catcher is one. SR,226... a spirit catcher is a fiber. With it I can call the allies, or my own ally, or I can call the spirit of water holes, the spirits of rivers, the spirits of mountains. mine is a wild boar and cries like a wild boar. SR,227.

GETTING RID OF INORGANIC BEINGS
The sound that would disperse them..a peculiar whistling that DJ used to perform at night ...as a means to keep one's balance while walking so as not to stray away from the trail in the darkness. SRP,219.

WRESTLING THE INORGANIC BEINGS/GAINING THEIR POWER
When a man is facing the ally, the giver of secrets, he has to muster up all of his courage and grab it before it grabs him, or chase it before it chases him. The chase must be relentless and then comes the struggle. The man must wrestle the spirit to the ground and keep it there until it gives him power. SR,234.
You're damn right they have substance..when one struggles with them they are solid, but that feeling lasts only a moment. Those beings rely on a man's fear; therefore if the man struggling with one of them is a warrior, the being loses its tension very quickly while the man becomes more vigorous. One can actually absorb the spirit's tension... (the tension is)..power. SR,234... when one touches them, they vibrate as if they were ready to rip one apart. But that is only a show, the tension ends when the man maintains his grip. (the allies) just become flaccid when they lose their tension.. they still have substance though. But it is not like anything one has ever touched. SR,235. Once an ally catches you, you either have a heart attack and die or you wrestle with it. Then after a moment of thrashing around in sham ferocity, the ally's energy wanes. There is nothing that an ally can do to us, or visa versa. We are seperated by an abyss. FFW,119
..A warrior allows the ally to come only when he is good and ready. When he is strong enough to grapple with the ally he opens his gap and lurches out, grabs the ally, keeps him pinned down and maintains his stare on him for exactly the time he has to, then he moves his eyes away and releases the ally and lets him go. A warrior.. is the master at all times. SR,251. The person searching for an ally had to follow the direction of the noises until the ally revealed itself, and then wrestle it to the ground in order to overpower it. JTI,206 my neck became as stiff as a board.. that is always the sign that you're ready... the jolt one gets from grabbing the ally is so great that one might bite off one's tongue or knock one's teeth out. One's body must be straight and well-grounded and the feet must grab the ground. JTI,258. All you have to do is be firmly grounded in order to sustain the impact. You have to stand just like Genaro did before he jumped, then you have to leap forward and grab the ally. JTI,259. if there is a next time you will have to wrestle with an ally and tame it. if you survive the shock,... you will find yourself living in an unknown land.... what's important to all of us is the fact that everything we love or hate or wish for has been left behind. yet the feelings in a man do not die or change, and the sorcerer starts on his way back home knowing that he will never reach it, knowing that no power on earth, not even his death, wliver him to the place, the things, the people he loved. JTI,265. Spinning with your ally will change your idea of the world..that idea is everything; and when that changes, the world itself changes. JTI,266.

HOW DOES THE ENERGY GET EXCHANGED?
The exchange of energy between seers and allies occurs through their matching emanations. FFW,120.

DESCRIPTION OF LOOKING FOR INORGANIC BEINGS
Description of the procedures used when CC went to wait for an ally in the hills by himself. SR,229,230.
I had spent a dreadful night in the wilderness and had been harassed by something, something very light and soft that had stepped on my neck over and over while I crouched on the ground. DJ had explained the event as an encounter with the ally, a mysterious force that a sorcerer learned to perceive as an entity. TOP,43...falling asleep left you at the mercy of the ally and the moth stepped on your neck. Why you survived will always be a mystery to me. You didn't know then but I had given you up for dead.TOP,86.

COMMUNICATING WITH THE INORGANIC BEINGS

THE EMANATIONS ARE WHAT LINK US TO OTHER CREATURES.
Those emanations, under certain circumstances..make possible the most fascinating communication between the beings of those eight great bands. FFW,181

COMMUNICATING WITH THE INORGANIC BEINGS
Usually the organic beings, with their greater fields of energy, are the initiators of communication with inorganic beings, but a subtle and sophisticated follow-up is always the province of the inorganic beings. Once the barrier is broken, inorganic beings change and become what seers call allies. From that moment inorganic beings can anticipate the seer's most subtle thoughts or moods or fears. FFW,181. The allies only have power if the seer who sees them is the paragon of impeccability. FFW,181.

WHY DO WE SEEK EACH OTHER?
those emanations (matching emanations between us and inorganic beings) are, naturally, on the left side awareness of man; the side that the average man never uses. For this reason, allies are totally barred from the world of the right-side awareness, or the side of rationality... the matching emanations give both a common ground. Then, with familiarity, a deeper link is established, which allows both forms of life to profit. FFW,120. Seers seek the allies ethereal quality; they make fabulous scouts and guardians. Allies seek the greater energy field of man, and with it they can even materialize themselves. FFW,120.

AN ALLY HELPS A SORCERER/GIVES KNOWLEDGE
I don't know what allies do. SR,40... anything the allies do is significant. From their actions a brujo can sometimes draw his power. Even if a brujo does not have an ally of his own, as long as he knows how to see, he can handle power by watching the acts of the allies. SR,42. An ally is a power a man can bring into his life to help him, advise him, and give him the strength necessary to perform acts, whether big or small, right or wrong. This ally is necessary to enhance a man's life, guide his acts, and further his knowledge. In fact, an ally is the indispensable aid to knowing. TDJ,52. An ally will make you see and understand things about which no human being could possibly enlighten you.... it is neither a guardian nor a spirit. It is an aid. TDJ,53 An ally takes you out (of yourself) to give you power. TDJ,54. The ally powers are available only to the brujos... TDJ,104. DJ described an ally as being a power capable of transporting a man beyond the boundries of himself; that is to transcend the realm of ordinary reality. Consequently, to have an ally implied having power... TDJ,199. The Naugal carried allies in his gourd.. the ally is funneled through the gourd. SRP,50.
To meet an ally a man must be a spotless warrior or the ally may turn against him and destroy him. SR,192. An ally is a power capable of carrying a man beyond the boundaries of himself. This is how an ally can reveal matters no human being could. TDJ,54
The moths are the heralds or, better yet, the guardians of eternity.. for some reason, or for no reason at all, they are the depositories of the gold dust of eternity. The moths carry a dust on their wings. A dark gold dust. That dust is the dust of knowledge. The moths have been the intimate friends and helpers of sorcerers from time immemorial. TOP,33

WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF THE INORGANIC BEING'S KNOWLEDGE
(the knowledge from the organic beings according to DJ is that it is too cumbersome and capricious..(arbitrary)) TAOD, 55 They teach us things pertinent to their world (at the cost of our personal freedom) TAOD, 66,67

AN OBJECT IS A POWER OBJECT WHEN TOUCHED BY AN INORGANIC BEING
Any kind of gear or any object that was touched by a spirit rightfully became a power object. However, the nasty type of being was known never to touch anything, but only to produce the auditory illusion of noise. SR,233.

MAKING THE GOURD
Description of.. SRP,134.
