B.) LUMINOUS BEINGS/ LUMINOUS EGGS

WHAT ARE ALL LIVING CREATURES REALLY?

ALL LIVING CREATURES ARE ENERGY BUBBLES MADE FROM THE EAGLE'S EMANATIONS
living creatures are really luminous beings that look like bubbles of whitish light...sentient beings are minute bubbles made out of those filaments, microscopic points of light, attached to the infinite emanations... FFW,66,67 we are a feeling and that what we call our body is a cluster of luminous fibers that have awareness. TOP,94 (our energy body).. it is linked to some luminous lines of energy crisscrossing the universe. TSC,138 The double is nearly infinite.. for just as the physical is in communication with other physical bodies, the double is in communication with the universal life force. TSC,186 (the double) it is inherently the energy of a luminous being, EG,23 Luminous Beings ...the energy essence of human beings TAOD, 5 we are luminous beings. We are perceivers. We are an awareness; we are not objects; we have solidity. We are boundless. TOP,97. human beings are frail creatures composed of many layers of luminosity SRP,253

DOES EVERY CREATURE HAVE A BODY OF ENERGY?

YES, EVERYTHING HAS A BODY OF ENERGY
Not only living beings but everything in our world glimmers with an inner light of its own TAOD,175 All of us luminous beings have a double. TOP,58..the double is oneself and cannot be faced in any other way. the double is not a matter of personal choice..TOP,58
 
It is not clear if inanimate objects have energy associated with them.

WHAT ARE SOME OTHER NAMES FOR THIS BODY OF ENERGY?

luminous egg, luminous ball (the egg)is our energy self (which is our double). TAOD,11 ..cocoons and containers are fields of energetic awareness. FFW,182 energy body, other, double, self, (the dreaming body is known by different names FFW, 291) the energetic or nonrational side, which sorcerers call the double TSC,xii The ethereal body.TSC,114. The other is the self..the double is the self TOP,46

Again, like the term intent, the energy body has many names. The term luminous egg/ball is the energy body but is used as the container of the energy body.

WHAT EXACTLY IS THE ENERGY BODY?

PURE ENERGY
Since it's pure energy, EG,23
 
THE ENERGY BODY IS PURE ENERGY SO HAS AN APPEARANCE BUT NO MASS
A ghostlike configuration made of pure energy....has only appearance but no mass. EG,23
 
IT IS THE AWARENESS OF OURSELVES AS LUMINOUS BEINGS
As far as I know, the double is the awareness of our state as luminous beings. TOP,60
 
THE DOUBLE BEGINS IN DREAMING, THE DOUBLE IS A DREAM
....the double begins in dreaming..the double is a dream..TOP,64.
 
THE DOUBLE IS THE SORCERER HIMSELF, DEVELOPED THROUGH HIS DREAMING.
The double is the sorcerer himself, developed through his dreaming. A double is an act of power to a sorcerer, but only a tale of power to you. TOP,47. ...instead of eyes, the dreaming body has just the glow of awareness (two points of intense amber lights..FFW,197) FFW,199...in the case of Genaro, his double is indistinguishable from the original. That's because his impeccability as a warrior is supreme. TOP,48
 
A 3-D IMAGE OF THE BODY WHEN SECOND ATTENTION IS FIXED
a whitish, phantomlike emanation, which is projected by the fixation of the second attention into a 3-D image of the body. EG,23....
 
A PERFECT REPLICA OF THE DREAMER'S BODY
...the double is a perfect replica of the dreamer's body.(it looks exactly like oneself. SRP,176) EG,23
 
IT WAS TWICE THE SIZE OF THE PERSON WHO HAD IT
they had always called that shape the double, because it was twice the size of the person who had it. SRP,199.
 
IT WAS SHINY
..It was like you, but very shiny.(may refer to Naugal) SRP,149
 
FOR A SORCERER THAT SEES THE DOUBLE IS BRIGHTER
for a sorcerer that sees the double is brighter. TOP,46.
 
NO WAY OF KNOWING BUT IT IS REAL
..there is no way of knowing what the other is made of..but it is real..TOP,46
It is not a ghost, but as real as anything we deal with in the world. EG,23
 
THE DOUBLE IS SOLID AND CORPOREAL..SOLIDITY, CORPOREALNESS ARE MEMORIES.
(the double is solid and corporeal)..solidity, corporealness are memories. therefore, like everything else we feel about the world, they are memories we accumulate. memories of the description. You have the memory of my solidity, the same way you have the memory of communicating through words. Thus, you talked with a coyote and you feel me as being solid. TOP,51.
 
OTHER ALWAYS COME SHROUDED IN WIND
Dreaming body or the other (this term belongs to the old seers...it gives me a feeling of darkness, of shadows...the other always comes shrouded in wind FFW,291).... FFW,199
 

How the energy body is described depends on the sorcere's interpretation.. in the end its just energy.

DOES OUR ENERGY BODY BELONG TO THE PHYSICAL BODY?

THE ENERGY BODY IS THE COUNTERPART TO THE PHYSICAL BODY
Energy body...it's the counterpart of the physical body. EG,23 The soft body is a mass of energy...we are aware of only its hard, outer casing.TSC,133 The double. The counterpart of the physical body, which by know you must know.. is not merely a projection of the mind. TSC,114. . ...the double is our energy source. The physical body is merely the receptacle where that energy has been placed. TSC,237. the double is both inside and outside the physical body... at the same time... TSC, 159.
 

WHAT IS THE REAL DIVISION IN HUMANS?

 
THE REAL DIVISION IS BETWEEN THE PHYSICAL BODY WHICH HOUSES THE MIND AND THE ENERGY BODY WHICH HOUSES OUR ENERGY
The body-mind dualism is a false dichotomy. The real division is between the physical body, which houses the mind, and the ethereal body or the double which houses our energy. TSC,62. but our division is not between the mind and the body, but between the body, which houses the mind or the self, and the double, which is the receptacle of our basic energy. TSC,43 Human beings are divided in two. EG,163.... all the faculties, possibilities, and accomplishments of sorcery, from the simplest to the most astounding, are in the human body itself. EG,163. The two sides of a human being are totally seperate EG,228. The tonal and the nagual are the two inherent parts of ourselves.. they cannot be led into each other. TOP,244.

WHAT SEPERATES THE PHYSICAL BODY AND THE ENERGY BODY?

THE TWO SIDES ARE SEPERATED BY A MEMBRANE
the membrane that seperates their two sides. EG,230

WHAT DOES OUR ENERGY LOOK LIKE?

OUR ENERGY WAVERS LIKE A HEAT WAVE, IT SCINTILLATES
. our energy wavers..TAOD,164...organic beings energy are more like heat waves. FFW,121...our energy scintillates. TAOD,175

WHAT DETERMINES THE LUMINOSITY OF A LIVING CREATURE?

THE LUMINOSITY IS DETERMINED BY THE PARTICULAR PORTION OF EMANATIONS FOUND IN THAT PARTICULAR COCOON.
the luminosity of living beings is made by the particular portion of the Eagle's emanations they happen to have inside their luminous cocoons. FFW,66,67
 
WE ARE LUMINOUS BECAUSE WE ARE PIECES OF THE SUN
We are pieces of the sun. (we are all like the sun, but very, very faint) That is why we are luminous beings. But our eyes can't see that luminosity because it is very faint. Our light is too weak, but it is light anyway. SRP,123.

ARE THE EMANATIONS INSIDE THE BUBBLES THE SAME AS THE EAGLE'S EMANATIONS OUTSIDE?

THE EMANATION PATTERNS ARE THE SAME INSIDE AND OUT BUT SOME OF OUR EMANATIONS ARE LOCATED AS MUCH AS 3 FEET OUTSIDE THE PHYSICAL BODY.
The emanations inside and the emanations outside are the same filaments of light. FFW,66,67 Human beings are also composed of an incalculable number of the same threadlike energy fields.POS,13, FFW,62 some beams of light or energy allegedly crisscross the earth... these beams do not fluctuate as everything else in the universe does, but are fixed into a pattern. This pattern coincides with hundreds of points in the luminous body...since the luminous body is quite big, some of the points are as much as three feet away from the physical body. In a sense they are outside of us, and yet they are not; they are on the periphery of our luminosity and thus still belong to the total body. EG,196.

WHAT DO YOU CALL THE EMANATIONS OUTSIDE THE PHYSICAL BODY BUT STILL WITHIN THE COCOON?

THE EMANATIONS INSIDE THE COCOON BUT LOCATED OUTSIDE THE PHYSICAL BODY IS CALLED THE ETHEREAL NET
The ethereal net is the luminosity that surrounds the physical body... TSC,134

WHAT DO YOU CALL THE EMANATIONS OUTSIDE THE COCOON?

WE CALL THE EMANATIONS OUTSIDE THE COCOON, THE EMANATIONS AT LARGE
...emanations at large.. are called this because they are immense. FFW,225.. The emanations outside the cocoon.. are called emanations at large. FFW,141
 

WHAT SHAPE DO THE EMANATIONS FORM?

THE EMANATIONS AGGLOMERATE INTO A GIANT LUMINOUS EGG
These Eagle's emanations form an encased agglomeration that manifests itself as a ball of light the size of a person's body with the arms extended laterally, like a giant luminous egg. POS,13, FFW,62 ..human beings were, for those who saw, luminous beings composed of something like fibers of light, which rotated from the front to the back and maintained the appearance of an egg. SR,106 ..men are fibers of light.. like white cobwebs. Very fine threads that circulate from the head to the navel. Thus a man looks like an egg of circulating fibers. And his arms and legs are like luminous bristles, bursting out in all directions. SR,23 When you see them, they seem to have fibers, but those fibers are really like layers, like an onion. EG,45

WHAT DO SORCERER'S EGGS LOOK LIKE?

SORCERERS HAVE EGGS SHAPED LIKE TOMBSTONES
Average human beings are like eggs... sorcerers are like tombstones; only we are round at both ends. SRP,210.

WERE OUR LUMINOUS SHAPES ALWAYS SHAPED LIKE AN EGG?

THE LUMINOUS SHAPE KEEPS CHANGING THROUGHOUT TIME, OUR SHAPES TODAY ARE REALLY MORE LIKE A BALL AND THE EGG SHAPE IS REALLY ASSOCIATED WITH PEOPLE OF ANCIENT TIMES.
Don Juan had the impression that our energy shape keeps on changing through time. He said that every seer he knew, himself included, saw that human beings are shaped more like balls or even tombstones than eggs. But, once in awhile, and for no reason known to them sorcerers see a person whose energy is shaped like an egg. Don Juan suggested that people who are egglike in shape today are more akin to people of ancient times. TAOD,5

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE LUMINOUS EGG?

 THE EGG IS A CONTAINER THAT HOLDS OUR ENERGY BODY
...the egglike shape is an external cocoon, a shell of luminosity that houses a most intriguing, haunting, mesmeric core made up of concentric circles of yellowish luminosity, the color of a candle's flame.... .EG,220.... the egg shaped shells were actually dull. the luminosity emanated from a brilliant core; the shell in fact dulled its radiance. EG,220...

WHAT ARE SOME CHACTERISTICS OF THE LUMINOUS EGG?

THE EGG IS MUCH BIGGER THAN THE HUMAN BODY, 7 FT HIGH BY 4 FT WIDE
...much bigger than the human body TAOD, 5... they were enormous, perhaps seven feet high by four feet wide or even larger. EG,41
 
THE EGGS HAVE A CERTAIN CONSISTENCY (DESCRIPTION OF)
... Consistency of luminous egg.. description. SRP,79,80,82 Zuleica ordered me to massage that place, to manipulate it by moving the fingers of both my hands right on that point as if I were playing a harp. She assured me that sooner or later I would end up feeling my fingers going through something as thick as water, and that finally I would feel my luminous shell. EG,253.
 
THE LUMINOUS EGGS ARE BRIGHT BLOBS OF LIGHT, VIBRANT AND FILLED WITH WHITENESS
....bright shapes that resemble giant eggs (a field of energy.) FFW, 115 The ones without spots... were dazzling bright... They were vibrant, filled with energy and whiteness. EG,45The double is white, yellowish white, like the sun. SRP,123 .....a blob of light FFW,270 ..the dreaming body is really just a blob of light. FFW,198
 
LUMINOUS EGGS HAVE SETS OF LONG FIBERS COMING FROM THE NAVEL AREA
The most astonishing part of the egg-like creatures was a set of long fibers that came out of the area around the navel; those fibers were of the uttermost importance in the life of a man. SR,106 Then I realized that the energy to move them had come from a sticklike protuberance that acted upon them as a tentacle. It was balanced at the midpoint of my body.EG,155. everyman is in touch with everything else, not through his hands, though, but through a bunch of long fibers that shoot out from the center of his abdomen. SR,23 They are the tentacles that come out of a man's body which are apparent to any sorcerer who sees. SR,106.
 
THE EGGS SHOW EVERYTHING WE FEEL OR ARE IN IT'S FIBERS IN AREAS OF BRIGHTNESS
..we are luminous beings and everything we are or everything we feel shows in our fibers.. indications in the luminous fibers, areas of brightness. TOP,30.
 
HUMAN LUMINOUS EGGS HAVE A BRIGHTNESS PECULIAR TO THEM ONLY
Humans have a brightness peculiar only to them. That's the only way to tell them apart from other luminous living beings. TOP,30.

ARE MEN AND WOMEN'S EGGS DIFFERENT?

YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BY THE SHAPE OF SOME FILAMENTS CALLED ROOTS
Our visions differed in that she could distinguish men from women by the shape of some filaments that she called roots. EG,46
 
WOMEN HAVE THICK FILAMENTS GROWING INWARD FROM THE GENITALIA THAT ARE USED TO NOURISH THE EMBRYO
Women.. had thick bundles of filaments that resembled a lion's tail; they grew inward from the place of the genitalia....those roots were the givers of life. EG,46
 
MEN HAVE SHORT FILAMENTS THAT ARE FLOATING ALMOST SEPARATELY FROM THEIR LUMINOUS EGG
Men.. had short filaments that were alive and floating almost seperately from the luminous mass of their bodies. EG,46.
 

WHAT CAUSES THE INTENSE SHINE IN THE LUMINOUS EGG?

The assemblage point

WHAT IS THE ASSEMBLAGE POINT?

THE ASSEMBLAGE POINT IS A DOT WITH AN INTENSE SHINE IN THE LUMINOUS EGG.
Assemblage point...a round spot of intense brilliance, TAOD,7, POS,13 a dot with an intense shine, on the glow of awareness; FFW,239

HOW BIG IS IT?

IT IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A TENNIS BALL
the size of a tennis ball, TAOD,7, POS,13

WHERE IS THE ASSEMBLAGE POINT ON THE LUMINOUS BODY LOCATED?

IT IS LOCATED PERMANANTLY INSIDE THE LUMINOUS BALL, FLUSH WITH ITS SURFACE, HIGH ON THE GLOW OF AWARENESS
the AP is not in the physical body but in the luminous shell, in the cocoon itself. FFW,127......it has nothing to do with (the physical body )..but it is part of the luminous egg. TAOD,11 permanently lodged inside the luminous ball, flush with its surface, TAOD,7, POS,13...it is high on the glow of awareness...almost on the crest, on the surface of the cocoon.. FFW,239

WHERE IS THE ASSEMBLAGE POINT ON THE PHYSICAL BODY LOCATED?

IT IS LOCATED ABOUT 2 FEET BACK FROM THE CREST OF A PERSON'S RIGHT SHOULDER
about two feet back from the crest of a person's right shoulder blade.... TAOD,7, POS,13

WHAT IS THE ASSEMBLAGE POINT'S PURPOSE?

THE ASSEMBLAGE POINT MAKES US PERCEIVE/IT IS THE MARK OF LIFE AND CONSCIOUSNESS BECAUSE DEAD PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ONE
...it makes us perceive...perception is assembled there, on that point...all living beings have such a point of brilliance, TAOD,7, POS,13, FFW,136......there is no trace of an assemblage point on a dead being, because the assemblage point and its surrounding glow are the mark of life and consciousness. ..the glow is extremely dim in people who have been rendered unconscious or are about to die and it is totally absent in corpses.

WHAT IS THE GLOW OF AWARENESS/MAN'S BAND OF AWARENESS?

THE GLOW OF AWARENESS ALWAYS SURROUNDS THE ASSEMBLAGE POINT INTENSIFYING THE AMBER LUMINOSITY OF THE EMANATIONS PASSING THROUGH THE GLOW.
(the glow of awareness) always surrounds it(the assemblage point), greatly intensifying the luminosity of the filaments passing directly through that glow. TAOD,7. (the glow of) awareness is a glow in the cocoon of living beings... man's awareness is a glow of amber luminosity more intense than the rest of the cocoon.. FFW, 67,68 " called man's band of awareness" FFW,239

WHAT DOES THE GLOW OF AWARENESS LOOK LIKE?

IT IS A SPHERICAL GLOW SLIGHTLY BIGGER THAN THE ASSEMBLAGE POINT
Glow of awareness.. a spherical glow, slightly bigger than the assemblage point, TAOD,7
 
THE GLOW HAS MANY DIFFERENT SHADES OF AMBER
..the glow of awareness has different colors..they are not colors but different casts of amber. FFW,179

WHERE IS IT LOCATED?

THE GLOW IS LOCATED ON A NARROW VERTICAL BAND ON THE EXTREME RIGHT SIDE OF THE SURFACE OF THE COCOON, RUNNING ITS ENTIRE LENGTH OR IT IS ALWAYS WHERE THE ASSEMBLAGE POINT IS.
The glow is on a narrow vertical band on the extreme right side of the cocoon, running along its entire length. FFW, 67,68...
...normally the glow of awareness is seen on the surface of the cocoon of all sentient beings. FFW,130 ...the glow of awareness is always present wherever the assemblage point is, perception is automatically assembled there. TAOD,8

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE EGG'S LONG FIBERS THAT COME OUT FROM THE NAVEL ARE?

THE FIBERS DO NOT PROTECT YOU BUT INSTEAD THEY GUIDE YOUR NAGUAL'S PERCEPTION LIKE THE WAY YOUR EYES GUIDE THE TONAL'S PERCEPTION
I had long, powerful fibers, which were not there to protect me, for there was nothing to protect, or to be protected from, but that they were there to guide my nagual's perception in very much the same way my eyes guided my normal tonal's perception. TOP,250 I had three thick tentacles in my midsection which I could use as crutches to lift up my whole body. EG,260. the will was a force that emanated from the umbilical region through an unseen opening below the navel, an opening he had called the gap. TOP,82..... it comes out through the belly, (navel area) where the luminous fibers are. One can feel it coming out (from the belly) SR,148 The energy needed in order to move and seek in dreaming stems from the area an inch or two below the belly button. He called that energy will, or the power to select, to assemble. EG,136.
 
WITH THE FIBERS YOU CAN PERCEIVE EVERYTHING AT ONCE
They told me that my fibers were all around me, that through them I could perceive everything at once, and that one single fiber was enough for a leap from the rock into the ravine, or up from the rock to the ravine. ..TOP,250
 
THE FIBERS JOIN A MAN TO HIS SURROUNDINGS AND KEEP HIM BALANCED AND STABLE
These fibers join a man to his surroundings; they keep his balance; they give him stability. SR,23.
 
THE FIBERS ARE NOT LIKE TOUCHING, IT IS SORT OF LIKE A FEELING.
La Gorda signaled me to use my midsection. When I did that I did not have to bend over to touch the ground; there was something in me like a tentacle which I could feel. But I could not tell what I was feeling. There were no particular tactile qualities on which to base distinctions. EG,161.
 
THE FIBERS FEEL LIKE A LONG ITCHING
a most peculiar sensation of a long itching...TOP,250
 

WHAT KIND OF FIBERS DO PEOPLE HAVE?

 
WEAK PEOPLE HAVE SHORT, ALMOST INVISIBLE FIBERS
Weak persons have very short, almost invisible fibers; SR,106.
 
STRONG PEOPLE HAVE BRIGHT LONG FIBERS
strong persons have bright, long ones SR,106

WHAT CAN YOU TELL ABOUT SOMEONE FROM THEIR FIBERS?

WHEN A SORCERER SEES SOMEONE'S FIBERS THEY CAN TELL IF A PERSON IS SICK OR HEALTHY, BAD OR GOOD OR CAN SEE AND CAN DEAL WITH THEM ACCORDINGLY
Sorcerers act toward people in accordance to the way they see their tentacles. SR,106 ..you can tell from the fibers if a person is healthy, or if he is sick or if he is mean, or kind, or treacherous. You can also tell from the fibers if a person can see. SR,106. Had I known (CC) what was going to take place, my fibers would have been agitated and would have interfered with DG. SR,107.

HOW DO THE EGGS MOVE?

THE EGGS MOVE IN A UNPLEASANT,JERKY FLOATING MANNER LEAVING A DEEP FURROW IN THE ENERGY IN THE EARTH
....giant,luminous shape that floats, making, as it moves, a deep furrow in the energy of the earth, just as if the luminous shape had a taproot that was dragging. TAOD,5 the luminous eggs did not walk. They moved in a floating manner, yet they were grounded. The way they moved was not pleasing. Their movements were stilted, wooden, and jerky. When they were in motion the whole egg shape became smaller and rounder; they seemed to jump or jerk, or shake up and down with great speed. The result was a most annoying nervous shivering. EG,44.

DOES THE EGG HAS ANY WEAKNESSES?

THE EGG HAS A GAP IN ITS COCOON JUST BELOW HIS NAVEL
Man has a gap below his navel. It's not really below the navel itself, but in his cocoon, at the height of his navel. The gap is more like a dent, a natural flaw in the otherwise smooth cocoon. FFW,245. It is at the place of your luminous fibers (at your abdominal area) SR,147

WHAT IS THE LUMINOUS GAP'S PURPOSE?

EVERY LIVING CREATURE HAS A GAP, WITHOUT A GAP, YOU WOULD NEVER DIE.
Every living being has a gap. If it didn't have one it wouldn't die. FFW,246
 
THE GAP IS AN OPENING WHICH ALLOWS OUR WILL TO SHOOT OUT
it's an opening. it allows a space for the will to shoot out like an arrow. SR,147.
 

WHEN DOES THIS GAP OPEN?

THE GAP OPENS AS ONE DEVELOPS ONE'S WILL
There is a gap in us; like the soft spot on the head of a child which closes with age, this gap opens as one develops one's will. SR,147

ARE ALL GAPS THE SAME?

EACH GAP IS DIFFERENT IN SIZE AND CONFIGURATION
The gaps are different, however, in size and configuration. FFW,246
 
MAN'S GAP IS A BOWL-LIKE DEPRESSION THE SIZE OF A FIST
Man's gap is a bowl-like depression the size of a fist, a very frail vulnerable configuration. FFW,246.
 
OTHER ORGANIC BEINGS GAPS ARE SIMILAR TO MAN'S GAP BUT SOME ARE WEAKER AND SOME ARE STRONGER
the gaps of other organic beings are very much like man's; some are stronger than ours and others are weaker. FFW,246
 

HOW DOES THE EGG PROTECT ITSELF FROM THE ROLLING FORCE?

THE EGG HAS A PROTECTIVE SHIELD IN FRONT TO PROTECT US FROM THE TUMBLERS CALLED THR FRONT PLATE
..the front of the egglike cocoon of man has a protective shield, which seers call the front plate. FFW,240
 

WHAT IS THE FRONT PLATE?

THE FRONT PLATE IS AN ALMOST IMPREGNABLE SHIELD ONE FIFTH THE THICKNESS OF THE TOTAL COCOON
It is almost impregnable, unyielding shield that protects us against the onslaught of a peculiar force (death force)..FFW,238. The front plate is about one-fifth the thickness of the total cocoon. FFW,240...
 

HOW DO PEOPLE SEE THE LUMINOUS EGGS?

THE LUMINOSITY OF A HUMAN CAN ALMOST BE SEEN THROUGH LOOKING BUT THE ONLY TRUE WAY IS BY THE SORCERER'S SEEING
Man's luminosity can be seen almost as if one were using the eyes alone. FFW,141 ...seers see them (assemblage and glow) without their eyes. TAOD, 7
 
DESCRIPTION OF SEEING A LUMINOUS EGG: CC SEES DJ AND DG AS TWO BALLS OF FIRE WITH FIBERS
As I kept staring at them, my eyes went involuntarily out of focus. I knew I had definitly crossed them, because I was seeing four of them. the left eye image of DJ became superimposed on the right eye image of don Genaro; the result of the merger was that I saw an iridescent being standing in between don Juan and don Genaro....it was not a man as I ordinarily see men. It was rather a ball of white fire; something like fibers of light covered it. ...I was seeing two strange elongated luminous objects. They looked like white iridescent footballs with fibers, fibers that had a light of their own. TOP,217
 
ANALOGY OF THE LUMINOUS BALL: A BALL OF JACK CHEESE
The luminous shape of man is like a ball of jack cheese with a thick disk of darker cheese injected into it. He drew an egglike shape and divided it in four longitudinal sections, saying that he would immediately erase the division lines because he had drawn them only to give me an idea where the band was located in the cocoon of man. He then drew a thick band at the line between the first and second sections and erased the division lines. He explained that the band was like a disk of chedder cheese that had been inserted into the ball of jack cheese. Now if that ball of jack cheese were transparent.. you would have a perfect replica of man's cocoon. The chedder cheese goes all the way inside the ball of jack cheese. It's a disk that goes from the surface on one side to the surface of the other side. The AP of man is located high up, three-fourths of the way toward the top of the egg on the surface of the cocoon. FFW,140.
 

HOW IS THE DOUBLE DIVIDED/HOW DOES THE ENERGY CIRCULATE IN THE ENERGY BODY?

 
THE DOUBLE IS DIVIDED INTO A LOWER (ABDOMEN) AND AN UPPER SECTION (CHEST) WHERE TWO DIFFERENT CURRENTS OF ENERGY CIRCULATE
He picked up a twig and drew an oval shape on the soft ground. Then he added a horizontal line that transected it midway. pointing to the two partitions...he explained that the double is divided into a lower and an upper section, which corresponds roughly in the physical body to the abdomen and chest cavities. Two different currents of energy circulate in these two sections. TSC,235
WHEN THESE TWO SECTIONS BECOME SEPARATED IN THE DOUBLE WE BECOME UNBALANCED
Usually, in life, these two energies become seperated in the double, causing weaknesses and unbalance in the physical body. TSC,236
 
THE DOUBLE IS ALSO DIVIDED INTO LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES WHERE TWO DIFFERENT PATTERNS OF ENERGY CIRCULATE
He drew another line, this time down the center of the elliptical shape, dividing it lengthwise into two, which, he stated, corresponds to the right and left sides of the body. These two sides also have two specific patterns of energy circulation. TSC,236
 
LOWER SECTION
 
LOWER SECTION CIRCULATES ORIGINAL ENERGY WE HAD WHILE STILL IN THE WOMB
In the lower one circulates the original energy we had while still in the womb. TSC,235
 
THE ORIGINAL ENERGY SINKS DOWN TO THE GENTIAL AREA
The original energy sinks down into the genital area. TSC,236
 
UPPER SECTION
 
THE UPPER SECTION CIRCULATES THOUGHT ENERGY WHICH ENTERS OUR BODY WITH THE FIRST BREATH
In the upper section circulates the thought energy. This energy enters the body at birth with the first breath. TSC,235
 
THOUGHT ENERGY IS ENHANCED BY EXPERIENCE AND RISES UPWARD INTO THE HEAD
...he said that thought energy is enhanced by experience and rises upward into the head. TSC,235
 
RIGHT SECTION
 
ON THE RIGHT SIDE THE ENERGY CIRCULATES UP ON THE FRONT PART OF THE DOUBLE AND DOWN THE BACK SIDE OF IT
In the right side, energy circulates up on the frontal part of the double, and down on the back of it. TSC,236
 
LEFT SECTION
 
ON THE LEFT SIDE THE ENERGY CIRCULATES DOWN ON THE FRONT PART OF THE DOUBLE AND UP THE BACK SIDE OF IT
On the left side, energy circulates down on the frontal part of the double and up on the back. TSC,236
 

HOW DOES THE DOUBLE PERCEIVE?

THE DOUBLE HAS AN INDEPENDENT PERCEPTION/IT DEALS WITH ENERGY
.....its perception, although affected by our normal way of perceiving the daily world, is an independent perception. It has its own sphere...that sphere is energy...it deals with the energy in terms of energy. CC TAOD, 31,32

HOW DOES THE DOUBLE PERCEIVE ENERGY IN DREAMING?

THERE ARE THREE WAYS IT DEALS WITH ENERGY IN DREAMING:
There are three ways it deals with energy in dreaming: CC TAOD, 31,32
 
ONE: IT CAN PERCEIVE ENERGY AS IT FLOWS
it can perceive energy as it flows, or it can use energy to boost itself like a rocket into unexpected areas, (it can use currents of energy that exist in the universe to propel itself. All it has to do is isolate them, and off it goes with them.) CC TAOD, 31,32
 
TWO: IT CAN PERCEIVE AS WE ORDINARILY PERCEIVE THE WORLD
or it can perceive as we ordinarily perceive the world. (It sees energy directly as a light or as a vibrating current of sorts or as a disturbnce. CC TAOD, 31,32
 
THIRD: IT FEELS ENERGY AS A JOLT OR AS A SENSATION THAT CAN EVEN BE PAIN
Or it feels it directly as a jolt or as a sensation that can even be pain.) CC TAOD, 31,32...
 

WHAT THINGS CAN PERCEIVE THE DOUBLE?

ANIMALS AND INFANTS CAN PERCEIVE THE DOUBLE
Animals and infants have no problem perceiving the double and they are often disturbed by it. TSC,219.

WHAT CAN THE DOUBLE DO?

IT CAN PERFORM ACTS BEYOND THE POSSIBILITY OF THE PHYSICAL BODY
Since it's pure energy, EG,23 it can perform acts that are beyond the possibility of the physical body EG,23
 
IT HAS INCONCEIVABLE POWER
(when the double emerges) ..one is capable of performing inconceivable feats. TSC,237. The double has inconceivable power. TOP,77
 
IT COULD TURN INTO ANYTHING YOU WANT/OR DO ANYTHING
He said I must struggle to fall asleep; that I no longer had a body and was free to turn into anything I wanted. TDJ,136 (The double can do).. anything we want it to do; it can jump over trees or fly through the air or become large or small or take the shape of an animal. Or it can become aware of people's thoughts or become a thought and hurl itself in an instant over vast distances...it can even act like the self... if you know how to use it, you can appear in front of someone and talk to him as if you really there. TSC,136
 
IT COULD TRANSPORT ITSELF IN ONE INSTANT TO THE ENDS OF THE UNIVERSE
.....it can transport itself in one instant to the ends of the universe (the journey of the energy body depends exclusively on the position of the assemblage point TAOD,171) EG,23 ..the dreaming body is a surge of energy that is transported by the movement of the AP to any place in this world, or to any place in the seven worlds available to man. FFW,199.
 
THE DOUBLE CAN GAZE AT THE EAGLE
The dreaming body is very strong.. it is very easy for the DB to gaze at the Eagle's emanations interruptedly for long periods of time, but it is also very easy in the end for the DB to be totally consumed by them. FFW,200.
 
THE DOUBLE CANNOT EAT OR DRINK
The dreaming body cannot handle the intent of eating or drinking. EG,145. (DG trying to eat desc. TOP,47)...The dreaming body has a different intent from the intent of the physical body. EG,146 Example of .EG,146.
 
IT CAN DO ANYTHING, YET IT CHOOSES TO BE UNOBTRUSIVE AND GENTLE
it can do anything and yet it chooses to unobtusive and gentle. TOP,60
 
THE DOUBLE NEVER MAKES MISTAKES OR MISINTERPRETS THINGS/ALWAYS DIRECT AND TO THE POINT
You said it to my double just a moment ago. my double never ever makes mistakes or misinterprets things. TSC,218. It's your double that's talking. It's always direct and to the point and since you have never allowed it expression, it is full of hatred and bitterness. TSC,222
 
THE ENERGY BODY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR WELL BEING
he said that perhaps our greatest human fallacy is to believe that our health and well-being is in the realm of the body when, in essence, the control of our lives is in the realm of the double. TSC,236 This fallacy stems from the fact that the body controls our awareness. TSC,236
 

WHAT IS THE PHYSICAL BODY?

THE PHYSICAL BODY IS JUST A COVERING OR A CONTAINER FOR OUR ENERGY BODY.
The physical body is a covering, a container if you will. TSC,133
 
THE BODY IS DIVIDED INTO THREE MAIN CHAMBERS OF ENERGY: ABDOMEN, CHEST AND HEAD
she went on to explain that the body is divided into three main chambers of energy: the abdomen, chest and head. She touched my stomach just below the navel, then my solar plexus and then the center of my forehead. She explained that these three points are the key centers of the three chambers. TSC,71.
 
THE EXACT MIDPOINT OF THE BODY (WHICH YOU SHOULD MEASURE) IS A TRUE CENTER OF ENERGY IN ALL OF US
DJ had insisted that I measure my body to the hundredth of an inch and establish its exact midpoint, lengthwise as well as width. He had always said that such a point is a true center of energy in all of us. FFW,125
 
THERE IS A DELICATE GLOW AROUND THE STOMACH AND IS ALWAYS BEING PULLED AROUND BY EVERYTHING
Human beings had a very delicate glow around the stomach and that glow was always being pulled by everything around.
 
THE FEELINGS/WORLD WERE CREATED FROM THE STOMACH
What was in front of my eyes was rather like a feeling or a mood; and the center from where all those changes radiated was definitely in my stomach. I had made that connection not as a thought or a realization but as a bodily sensation that suddenly became fixed and predominant. The fluctuations around me came from my stomach. I was creating a world, an endless run of feelings and images. TOP,72.

WHERE DO MEN AND WOMEN STORE THEIR ENERGY?...

MEN STORE IT IN THEIR MIDSECTION, WOMEN STORE ENERGY IN THEIR WOMB
she said that Pablito was giving Josefina energy by placing his midsection, where men have a surplus of it, over Josefina's womb, where women store their energy. EG,55. In a woman both the attention and the energy for dreaming originate from the womb. EG,136.

WHERE ARE THE ENERGY CENTERS IN THE PHYSICAL BODY?

THERE ARE SEVEN MAIN GATES.
there are seven main gates. TSC,159.
 
SOME (GATES) ARE CLOSE TO THE SKIN, OTHERS ARE DEEP INSIDE THE BODY
Some (gates) are close to the skin, others are deep inside the body... TSC,159.
 
FIRST GATE
 
THE FIRST GATE IS IN THE SOLE OF THE FOOT AT THE BASE OF THE BIG TOE
By opening our gates... the first gate is in the sole of the foot, at the base of the big toe.. using his index finger and thumb as a vise, he pressed the round protuberance of my big toe at the sole of my foot, and the toe joint at the top of my foot.. TSC,232
 
SECOND GATE
 
THE SECOND GATE IS THE AREA THAT INCLUDES THE CALVES AND THE INNER PART OF THE KNEE
The second gate is the area that includes the calves and the inner part of the knee.. TSC,232
 
THERE IS A CENTER OF PERCEPTION ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CALVES
human beings have a superb center of perception on the outside of the calves, EG,256
 
SKIN OUTSIDE THE CALVES RELAXED OUR PERCEPTION IS ENHANCED
and that if the skin in that area (on the outside of the calves) could be made to relax or to be soothed, the scope of our perception would be enhanced in ways that would be impossible to fathom rationally. EG,256.(see gazing)
 
THIRD GATE
 
THE THIRD GATE IS AT THE SEXUAL ORGANS AND TAILBONE
third is at the sexual organs and tailbone...TSC,232. I was just about to tell her that an enormous gate is in the sexual organs. TSC,160.
 
FOURTH GATE
 
THE FOURTH AND THE MOST IMPORTANT GATE IS IN THE AREA OF THE KIDNEYS..
the fourth and the most important is in the area of the kidneys.. TSC,232.
 
JUST BELOW THE NAVEL IS A KEY CENTER OF POWER AND THAT ALL BODY MOVEMENTS INCLUDING BREATHING MUST ENGAGE THIS POINT OF ENERGY
....He explained that just below the navel was a key center of power and that all body movements, including one's breathing had to engage this point of energy...TSC,132..
 
FIFTH GATE
 
THE FIFTH GATE IS IN BETWEEN THE SHOULDER BLADES..
the fifth is in between the shoulder blades.. TSC,232.
 
SIXTH GATE
 
THE SIXTH GATE IS AT THE BASE OF THE SKULL.
the sixth is at the base of the skull. TSC,232.
 
SEVENTH GATE
 
THE SEVENTH GATE IS AT THE CROWN OF THE HEAD.
and the seventh is at the crown of the head. TSC,232.
 
THE HEAD HAS AN INVISIBLE LINE OF ENERGY COMING OUT DIRECTLY FROM THE TOP OF THE HEAD TO THE UNIVERSE'S ENERGY/ IT LINKS US TO INTENT
She said that an invisible line of energy flows out directly from the top of the head, upward to the realm of not-being. Or it can flow from the realm of not-being down into us via an opening at the very center of the top of the head. If you like, you can call it the life line that links us to a greater awareness... TSC, 114. For instance a line of energy that extends up from the top of the head gives the double its purpose and direction. That line suspends and pulls the double whichever way it wants to go. If it wants to go up, all it has to do is intend up. If it wants to sink into the ground, it just intends down. It's that simple. TSC, 138.
