A WARRIOR'S LIFE
-
- 9. MOOD OF A
WARRIOR
-
-
- MOOD OF A WARRIOR
-
- A WARRIOR CONTROLS HIS/HER MOOD
- A warrior makes his own mood...fear got you
into the mood of a warrior, but now that you know about it,
anything will serve you to get into it. it's convenient to always
to act in such a mood..it cuts through the crap and leaves one
purified...one needs the mood of a warrior for every single
act..otherwise one becomes distorted and ugly. JTI,119. there is
no power in a life that lacks this mood. JTI,120.
-
- DIFFICULT TO GET INTO THE WARRIOR
MOOD
- To achieve the mood of a warrior is not a
simple matter. it is a revolution. JTI,121.....The hardest thing
in the world is to assume the mood of a warrior...it is of no use
to be sad and complain and feel justified in doing so, believing
that someone is always doing something to us. Nobody is doing
anything to anybody, much less to a warrior. JTI,110.
-
- SOBRIETY
-
- SORCERERS ARE NOT INTERESTED IN CRAZINESS BUT
IN SOBRIETY
- The awareness of daily life.!.. it means that
we are after sobriety, measure, control. We are not interested in
craziness and helter-skelter results. You indulged in your
excesses and didn't shift your awareness of daily life to your
double... you imbued your double with an unknown, uncontrollable
awareness. TSC,224.
-
- WHAT IS
SOBRIETY?
-
- HAVING A SENSE OF COMPOSURE, ALMOST
INDIFFERENCE, A NATURAL BENT FOR EXAMINATION
- internal strength meant a sense of equanimity
(composure), almost of indifference, a feeling of being at ease,
but, above all, it meant a natural and profound bent for
examination, for understanding. All of these traits are called
sobriety. FFW,194.
-
- WHY
IS SOBRIETY IMPORTANT TO SORCERY?
-
- SORCERY IS DONE IN COMPLETE SOBERNESS/DRUGS
NOT THE KEY
- The extraordinary effect that psychotropic
plants had on me was what gave me the bias that their use was the
key feature of the teachings. I held on to the conviction and it
was only in the later years of my apprenticeship that I realized
that the meaningful transformations and findings of sorcerers were
always done in states of sober consciousness. TOP,236.
-
- MOVING THE AP IS EVERYTHING, BUT IT MEANS
NOTHING IF IT'S NOT A SOBER, CONTROLLED MOVEMENT.
- sobriety was crucial to dealing with the
moving of the assemblage point. POS, 72.. ..moving the AP is
everything, but it means nothing if it's not a sober, controlled
movement. POS,267.... seers have to be methodical, rational
beings, paragons of sobriety and at the same time they must shy
away from all those qualities in order to be completely free and
open to the wonders and mysteries of existence. FFW,91....
- alignment has to be a very peaceful,
unnoticeable act. No flying away, no great fuss. FFW,234... the
sobriety needed to let the AP assemble other worlds is something
that cannot be improvised.
-
- SOBRIETY MUST BE CULTIVATED
- Sobriety has to mature and become a force in
itself before warriors can break the barrier of perception with
impunity. FFW,235.
-
- SOBRIETY WILL BRIDGE THE CONTRADICTIONS FOUND
IN SORCERY
- only a feeling of supreme sobriety can bridge
the contradictions found in sorcery.. you may call that bridge
between contradictions anything you want- art, affection,
sobriety, love or even kindness. FFW,91
-
- HUMBLENESS
-
- A WARRIOR SHOULD BE HUMBLE BECAUSE HE IS EQUAL
TO EVERYTHING
- The third precept of the rule, that a warrior,
aware of the unfathomable mystery that surrounds him and aware of
his duty to unravel it, takes his rightful place among mysteries
and regards himself as one. Consequently, for a warrior there is
no end to the mystery of being, whether being means being a
pebble, or an ant, or oneself. That is a warrior's humbleness. One
is equal to everything. EG,279. To regard the lion and the water
rats and our fellow men as equals is a magnificent act of the
warrior's spirit. it takes power to do that. JTI,121....that
wouldn't affect my inner serenity. This attitude is called knowing
your worth... and my worth is absolutely zero... as long as the
positive and negative forces are in balance, they cancel each
other out and that means that my worth is zero. it also means that
I cannot be possibly upset when someone criticizes me, nor can I
be pleased when someone praises me. TSC,64...to be victorious and
to be defeated are equal. SR,88. You have learned that the
backbone of a warrior is to be humble and efficient. TOP,277...
humbleness entails being impeccable in one's actions and feelings.
(???)If you don't have a clear picture of what you want, you may
become more humble. JTI,55. A warrior takes his lot, whatever it
may be, and accepts it in ultimate humbleness. He accepts it in
humbleness what he is, not as grounds for regret but as a living
challenge. It takes time for every one of us to understand that
point and fully live it. TOP,24.
-
- WE SHOULD BE HUMBLE AND PROTECT OUR PERSON NOT
DEFEND IT
- one has to be utterly humble and carry nothing
to defend, not even one's person; that one's person should be
protected, but not defended. In snubbing them, I (CC) was not
protecting but merely defending myself. EG,195.
-
- RESPECTING OTHER THINGS
-
- A warrior treats everything with respect and
does not trample on anything unless he has to. SR,180.
-
- DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WARRIOR AND A BEGGAR...
WARRIORS AREN'T MASTERS
- I now know that the humbleness of a warrior is
not the humbleness of a beggar. The warrior lowers his head to no
one, but at the same time, he doesn't permit anyone to lower his
head to him. The beggar.. falls to his knees at the drop of a hat
and scrapes the floor for anyone he deems to be higher; but at the
same time, he demands that someone lower than him scrape the floor
for him. ...that's why I told you earlier today that I didn't
understand what masters felt like. I know only the humbleness of a
warrior, and that will never permit me to be anyone's master.
TOP,25.
-
- DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WARRIOR AND AN AVERAGE
MAN IN SELF- CONFIDENCE
- The self-confidence of the warrior is not the
self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks
certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that
self-confidence. the warrior seeks impeccabilty in his own eyes
and calls that humbleness. the average man is hooked to his fellow
men, while the warrior is hooked only to himself. TOP,13.
Self-confidence entails knowing something for sure;
(???)
-
- WANTING/NEED
-
- HE SAID THAT NOT WANTING ANYTHING WAS A
WARRIOR'S FINEST ACHIEVEMENT
- He said that not wanting anything was a
warrior's finest achievement. ...In my stupidity..I had enlarged
the sensation of not wanting anything and made it lapse into not
liking anything. Thus, my life was boring and empty. TOP,240. Yet
if we could learn to cut our wants to nothing, the smallest thing
we'd get would be a true gift. To be poor or wanting is only a
thought; and so is to hate, or to be hungry, or to be in pain.
SR,142. The power to do that is all we have (thinking hunger and
thirst are thoughts) to oppose the forces of our lives; without
that power we are dregs, dust in the wind. SR,142. ..you must
cultivate the feeling that a warrior needs nothing. TOP,56. A
warrior doesn't seek anything for his solace. SRP,110.
- Only he(CC's little boy) could cancel that act
(refers to CC making promise to a little boy)....by learning to
reduce his wants to nothing. As long as he thinks that he was a
victim, his life will be hell. And as long as you think the same
your promise will be valid. SR,142
-
- WHAT MAKES US UNHAPPY IS TO WANT.
- What makes us unhappy is to want. SR,142
-
- NEED IS FELT AS ATTACHMENT TO OUR
SELF-REFLECTION
- Each of us has a different degree of
attachment to his self-reflection.. and that attachment is felt as
need..POS,166
-
- CONTROL
-
- A WARRIOR IS IN CONTROL WITHOUT CONTROLLING
ANYTHING
- A controlled outburst and a controlled
quietness were the mark of a warrior. JTI,104...You had a degree
of abandon, and at the same time you had a degree of control over
yourself. You did not let go and wet your pants, and yet you let
go and climbed that wall in complete darkness..to climb well in
darkness required that you had to hold on to yourself and let go
of yourself at the same time. That's what I call the mood of a
warrior. JTI,119...a man of knowledge is in control without
controlling anything. TOP,61. A warrior must be calm and collected
and must never lose his grip. TOP,29.....One of the acts of a
warrior is never to let anything affect him. Thus, a warrior may
be seeing the devil himself, but he won't let anyone know that.
The control of a warrior has to be impeccable. TOP,140. A warrior
cannot be helpless..or bewildered or frightened, not under any
circumstances. For a warrior there is time only for his
impeccability; everything else drains his power, impeccability
replenishes it. TOP,191. a warrior always made sure that
everything was in proper order, not because he believed that he
was going to survive the ordeal he was about to undertake, but
because that was part of his impeccable behavior.
JTI,167.
-
- BEING
FLUID
-
- BEING CONTROLLED IS ALSO BEING FLUID..
BELIEVING BUT NOT BELIEVING..
- ... they had been taught to be fluid, at ease
in whatever situation they found themselves, and that I had been
taught the same. EG,33.... But he could not hate or fight the
river, or be impatient with it, or fret, which were the ways he
normally behaved with everything and everybody in his life. All he
could do with the river was follow its flow. POS,237.. he knew how
to let go. SRP,42...Sorcerers live exclusively in the twilight of
a feeling best described by the words "and yet..." When everything
is crumbling down around them, sorceres accept that the situation
is terrible, and then immediately escape to the twilight of "and
yet..." POS,199..A warrior must be fluid and must shift
harmoniously with the world around him, whether it is the world of
reason, or the world of will. The most dangerous aspect of that
shifting comes forth every time the warrior finds that the world
is neither one nor the other. I was told that the only way to
succeed in that crucial shifting was by proceding in one's actions
as if one believed...in other words, the secret of a warrior is
that he believes without believing... to just believe would
exonerate him from examining his situation. A warrior, whenever he
has to involve himself with believing, does it as a choice, as an
expression of his innermost predilection. A warrior doesn't
believe, a warrior has to believe. TOP,108. A warrior considers
all those possibilities and then chooses to believe in accordance
with his innermost predilection. As a warrior you have to believe
in that (Cats story) if you have to believe, however, you must use
all the event. Having to believe means that you must consider
everything. TOP,111.He said it was not so difficult to let the
spirit of man flow and take over; to sustain it, however, was
something that only a warrior could do. TOP,110. In fact, as I
have told you before, a warrior doesn't need to believe because as
long as he keeps on acting without believing he is not-doing.
JTI,199....a warrior acted as if he knew what he was doing, when
in effect he knew nothing... JTI,168.
-
- FOUR
REACTIONS TO DIFFICULT SITUATIONS
-
- There are three kinds of bad habits which we
use over and over when confronted with unusual life situations.
TOP,55.First, we may disregard what's happening or has happened
and feel as if it has never occurred. That one is the bigot's
way.TOP,55. Second, we may accept everything at its face value and
feel as if we know what's going on. That's the pious man's way.
TOP,55 third, we may become obsessed with an event because either
we cannot disregard it or cannot accept it wholeheartedly. That's
the fool's way...TOP,55. There is a fourth, the correct one, the
warrior's way. A warrior acts as if nothing had ever happened,
because he doesn't believe in anything, yet he accepts everything
at its face value. He accepts without accepting and disregards
without disregarding. He never feels as if he knows, neither does
he feel as if nothing had ever happened. He acts as if he is in
control, even though he might be shaking in his boots. To act in
such a manner dissipates obsession. TOP,55.

EMOTIONS OF A WARRIOR
-
- EMOTIONS OF A WARRIOR
-
- ENTERING THE UNKNOWN
- the mood of a warrior who enters into the
unknown is not one of sadness...he's joyful because he feels
humbled by his great fortune, confident that his spirit is
impeccable and above all fully aware of his efficiency.
TOP,279
-
- HAPPINESS
-
- HAPPINESS COMES FROM DOING THINGS
DELIBERATELY
- you don't know the happiness that comes from
doing things deliberately. SR,64. ... and while he waits he feasts
his eyes on the world. For him the ultimate accomplishment of a
warrior was joy. EG,84 A warriors joyfulness comes from having
accepted his fate, and from having truthfully assessed what lies
ahead of him. TOP,279
-
- FULFILLMENT
-
- THERE IS NO EMPTINESS IN THE LIFE OF A MAN OF
KNOWLEDGE
- There's no emptiness in the life of a man of
knowledge ..everything is filled to the brim...and everything is
equal and my struggle was worth my while. SR,88
-
- HUMOR
-
- HUMOR WAS ONE WAY TO COUNTERACT THE EFFECTS OF
THE SORCERER'S WORLD
- humor was the only means of counteracting the
compulsion of human awareness to take inventories and to make
cumbersome classification. FFW,32.. the only way to counteract the
devasting effect of the sorcerer's world was to laugh at it.
TOP,54. Blind men don't laugh. Their bodies jerk a little with the
ripple of laughter. They have never looked at the funny edge of
the world and have to imagine it. Their laughter is not roaring.
SR,89.
-
- CLARITY
-
- MAN'S SECOND NATURAL ENEMY
- (a man's) second enemy. Clarity! That clarity
of mind, which is so hard to obtain, dispels fear, but also
blinds. It forces the man to never doubt himself. It gives him the
assurance he can do anything he pleases, for he sees clearly into
everything. And he is courageous because he is clear, and he stops
at nothing because he is clear But all that is a mistake; it is
like something incomplete. if the man yields to this make-believe
power, he has succumbed to his second enemy and will fumble with
learning. He will rush when he should be patient, or he will be
patient when he should rush. And he will fumble with learning
until he winds up incapable of learning anything more. He doesn't
die... his second enemy has just stopped him cold from trying to
become a man of knowledge; instead, the man may turn into a
buoyant warrior or even a clown. Yet the clarity for which he has
paid so dearly will never change to darkness and fear again. He
will be clear as long as he lives, but he will no longer learn, or
yearn for, anything. (to defeat it).. he must do what he did with
fear: he must defy his clarity and use it only to see, and wait
patiently and measure carefully before taking new steps; he must
think, above all, that his clarity is almost a mistake. And a
moment will come when he will understand that his clarity was only
a point before his eyes. And thus he will overcome his second
enemy, and will arrive at a position where nothing can harm him
anymore. This will not be a mistake. it will not be only a point
before his eyes. It will be true power.TDJ,85,86....He will know
at this point that the power he has been pursuing for so long is
finally his. He can do with it whatever he pleases. His ally is at
his command. His wish is the rule. He sees all that is around him.
TDJ,86. Clarity, the second enemy of a man of knowledge, has
loomed upon you. SR,115
-
- DOUBT
-
- DOUBT COMES FROM WHERE YOUR AP IS
POSITIONED
- I moved your AP beyond the position where
there are no more doubts. There are two such positions for
warriors. In one you have no more doubts because you know
everything. In the other, because you don't know anything.
FFW,300.
- What we need to do to allow magic to get hold
of us is to banish doubt from our minds.. once doubts are
banished, anything is possible. POS,130.
-
- WORRYING
-
- FRETTING WAS PROPER ONLY IN THE FIRST
ATTENTION
- fretting was proper only in the first
attention. EG,260
-
- FEAR
-
- FEAR IS A PRODUCT OF THE AP
- fear did not exist as soon as the glow of
awareness moved beyond a certain threshold inside man's cocoon.
FFW,125,126
-
- BEING AFRAID IS OKAY/FIRST NATURAL
ENEMY
- There is nothing wrong with being afraid. When
you fear, you see things in a different way. TDJ,49....Fear is the
first natural enemy a man must overcome on his path to knowledge.
Besides, you are curious. That evens up the score....And you will
learn in spite of yourself; that's the rule. TDJ,51.....Fears are
natural; that all of us experience them and there is nothing we
can do about it... no matter how frightening learning is, it is
more terrible to think of a man without an ally, or without
knowledge. TDJ,55...the first of his natural enemies: Fear!. A
terrible enemy-treacherous, and difficult to overcome. It remains
concealed at every turn of the way, prowling, waiting. And if the
man, terrified in its presence, runs away, his enemy will put an
end to his quest. TDJ,84.
-
- FEAR IS NATURAL AND SHOULDN'T BE
CONTROLLED
- DJ said that it was natural to be scared, and
that to control fear was wrong and senseless. The ancient seers
got trapped by suppressing their terror when they should have been
scared out of their wits. FFW,111..
-
- FRIGHT WILL ALWAYS BE THERE
- fright is something one can never get over..
SR,251
-
- FRIGHT CAN'T INJURE YOU
- Fright never injures anyone.JTI,xii. when a
warrior is caught in such a tight spot he would simply turn his
back to the ally without thinking twice. A warrior cannot indulge,
thus he cannot die of fright. SR,251
-
- IT'S OKAY TO BE AFRAID BUT NOT
PARALYZED
- be afraid without being terrified... put all
your concentration on the midpoint of your body. FFW,125...
-
- FEAR MAKES YOU LEARN
- One of the greatest forces in the lives of
warriors is fear.. it spurs them to learn. FFW,61..
-
- RUNNING AWAY FROM FEAR MEANS NO MORE
LEARNING/BEING DEFEATED
- (if the man runs away in fear)... nothing
happens to him except he will never learn. He will never become a
man of knowledge. He will perhaps be a bully or a harmless, scared
man; at any rate, he will be a defeated man. His first enemy will
have put an end to his cravings. TDJ,84..If he gives in to fear he
will never conquer it, because he will shy away from learning and
never try again. TDJ,87.
-
- DEFEATING FEAR
- ... (so)... he must not run away. He must defy
his fear, and in spite of it he must take the next step in
learning, and the next, and the next. He must be fully afraid and
yet he must not stop. That is the rule! And a moment will come
when his first enemy retreats. The man begins to feel sure of
himself. His intent becomes stronger. Learning is no longer a
terrifying task. When this joyful moment comes, the man can say
without hesitation that he has defeated his first natural
enemy.... It happens little by little, and yet the fear is
vanquished suddenly and fast. TDJ,84.But if he tries to learn for
years in the midst of his fear, he will eventually conquer it
because he will never have really abandoned himself to it.
TDJ,87.fear was supposed to be conquered and there was an alleged
time life of a man of knowledge when it was vanquished, but first
one had to be conscious of being afraid and duly to evaluate that
sensation. DJ asserted that one was capable of conquering fear
only by facing it. TDJ,196,197
-
- ONCE FEAR IS GONE, THE PERSON IS FREE FROM
IT.
- Once a man has vanquished fear, he is free
from it for the rest of his life because, instead of fear, he has
acquired clarity - a clarity of mind which erases fear. By then a
man knows his desires; he knows how to satisfy those desires. He
can anticipate the new steps of learning, and a sharp clarity
surrounds everything. the man feels that nothing is concealed.
TDJ,85.
-
- FEAR OF LOSING YOUR SOUL
- I said I could not figure out logically what
had caused my panic, and he replied that it was not the fear of
dying, but rather the fear of losing my soul, a fear common among
men who do not have unbending intent. TDJ,185.
-
- WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU ARE
AFRAID/UPSET
- when you have been afraid or upset, don't lie
down to sleep... sleep sitting up on a sofa chair. ..if I wanted
to give my body healing rest I should take long naps, lying on my
stomach with my face turned to the left and my feet over the foot
of the bed... put a pillow over the shoulders away from the neck
to keep warm and wear heavy socks or keep shoes on.
POS,41
-
- PUSHING THE BELLY DOWN/FOR MOMENTS OF GREAT
FEAR AND STRESS
- it was a technique he had taught me years
before, to use in moments of great danger, fear or stress. It
consisted of pushing the diaphragm down while taking four sharp
gasps of air through the mouth, followed by four deep inhalations
and exhalations through the nose. He had explained that the gasps
of air had to be felt as jolts in the middle part of the body, and
that keeping the hands tightly clasped, covering the navel, gave
strength to the midsection and helped to control the gasps and the
deep inhalations, which had to be held for a count of eight as one
pressed the diaphragm down. The exhalations were done twice
throught the nose and twice through the mouth in a slow or
accelerated fashion, depending on one's preference.
TOP,163.
-
- SADNESS
AND MELANCHOLY
-
- BEING SAD FOR NO REASON
- in the life of warriors it was extremely
natural to be sad for no overt reason. Seers say that the luminous
egg, as a field of energy, senses its final destination whenever
the boundaries of the known are broken. A mere glimpse of the
eternity outside the cocoon is enough to disrupt the coziness of
our inventory. The resulting melancholy is sometimes so intense
that it can bring about death. FFW,115
-
- SADNESS AS A WAY TO BECOME SILENT
- The Naugal told me that for a human being
sadness is as powerful as terror. Sadness makes a warrior shed
tears of blood. Both can bring the moment of silence. Or the
silence comes of itself, because the warrior tries for it
throughout his life. EG,143
-
- EXPRESSING YOUR SADNESS
- If a warrior needs solace..he simply chooses
anyone and expresses to that person in every detail of his
turmoil. After all, the warrior is not seeking to be understood or
helped; by talking he's merely relieving himself of his pressure.
That is, providing that the warrior is given to talking; if he's
not, he tells no one. TOP,56.
-
- CAN'T AVOID PAIN/GRIEF
- a warrior could not avoid pain and grief but
only the indulging in them. TOP,278.
-
- GETTING RID OF MELANCHOLY
- The best way to get rid of melancholy is to
make fun of it. FFW,115
-
- GETTING OUT OF A SAD MOOD
- the way to get you out of this sad mood is to
make you angry or to make you think. TSC,168.
-
- ANGER
-
- ANGER IS A NATURAL REACTION TO THE AP NOT
MOVING ON COMMAND
- anger was a natural reaction to the hesitation
of the AP to move on command. FFW,278
-
- WARRIORS CAN'T BE ANGRY
- .... everything a warrior does is dictated by
impeccability..with no thoughts of personal gain..so they can't be
angry or disillusioned with people. POS, 92....it was absurd to be
offended by an animals actions.. DJ told me I should feel the same
way about the onslaughts of my fellow men. I should protect myself
or get out of their way, but without feeling morally wronged.
POS,223...No I'm never angry at anybody. no human being can do
anything inportant enough for that. You get angry at people when
you feel their acts are important. I don't feel that way any
longer. TDJ,73.
-
- LONELINESS
-
- BEING ALONE
- we are all alone that is our condition...but
to die alone is not to die in loneliness. TOP,278...and I had
partially succeeded in disrupting daily routines, assuming
responsibility for my acts, erasing personal history and had
finally arrived at a point which years before I had dreaded; I was
capable of being alone without disrupting my physical or emotinal
well-being. TOP,57

- AFFECTION
-
- AFFECTION
- real affection cannot be an investment.

DEALING WITH THE WORLD
A. PLANTS AND
TREES
ORGANIC LIFE
-
- COMPARING TREE VS MOVING BEINGS ON WHERE THEY
GET THEIR NOURISHMENT
- the awareness of a tree draws its nourishment
from the depths of the earth, while the awareness of mobile
creatures draws it from the surface. There is no sense of strife
in a tree, whereas moving beings are filled to the brim with it.
EG,236
-
- AP LOCATION FOR PLANTS LOWER PART OF COCOON
WHILE ORGANIC BEINGS UPPER PART
- But the real difference between plants and
other organic beings is the location of their AP. Plants have it
on the lower part of their cocoon, while other organic beings have
it on the upper part of their cocoon. FFW,184.
-
- PLANTS
-
- PLANTS IN GENERAL
- Plants have pinkish luminosities in general,
because their awareness is pink. FFW,184. Plants are very peculiar
things..they are alive and they feel. JTI,6.
-
- POWER PLANTS
- The interesting part is that some tiny plants
have a cocoon almost as big as a man's body and three times its
width. Those are power plants. They share the largest amount of
emanations with man, not the emanations of awareness, but other
emanations in general. FFW,184.
-
- POISONOUS PLANTS
- Poisonous plants are a pale yellow pink and
medicinal plants are a bright violet pink. The only ones that are
white pink are power plants; some are murky white, others are
brilliant white. FFW,184.
-
- PLANTS COMMUNICATE WITH INORGANIC
BEINGS
- Old seers were convinced that plants have the
most intense communication with inorganic beings.
FFW,185.
-
- SORCERER'S USE PLANTS/TREES AS GUIDES TO THE
DARK REGIONS
- They believed the lower the AP, the easier for
plants to break the barrier of perception; very large trees and
very small plants have their AP extremely low in their cocoon.
Because of this, a great number of the old seer's sorcery
techniques were means to harness the awareness of trees and small
plants in order to use them as guides to descend to what they
called the deepest levels of the dark regions.
FFW,185.
-
- YOU MUST TALK TO PLANTS BEFORE YOU PICK THEM
AND THANK THEM
- you must talk to the plants before you pick
them. In order to see the plants you must talk to them personally.
You must get to know them individually; then the plants can tell
you anything you care to know about them. SR,94
- The world around us is a mystery..and men are
no better than anything else. If a little plant is generous with
us we must thank her, or perhaps she will not let us go.
JTI,25..It doesn't matter what you say to a plant..you can just as
well make up words; what's important is the feeling of liking it
and treating it as an equal.....a man who gathers plants must
apologize everytime for taking them and must assure them that
someday his own body will serve as food for them..so, all in all,
the plants and ourselves are even. neither we nor they are more or
less important. JTI,23.
- There is no need to talk to plants unless you
want to know their secrets and for that you need the most
unbending intent. JTI,36.
-
- ALSO SAME GOES FOR ANIMALS WE HUNT
- The worms, the birds, the trees, all of them
can tell us unimaginable things if only one could have the speed
to grasp their message. The smoke can give us that grasping speed.
But we must be on good terms with all the living things of this
world. This is the reason why we must talk to plants we are about
to kill and apologize for hurting them; the same thing must be
done with the animals we are going to hunt. We should take only
enough for our needs, otherwise the plants and the animals and the
worms we have killed would turn against us and cause us disease
and misfortune. A warrior is aware of this and strives to appease
them, so he peers through the holes(sounds), the trees and birds
and the worms give him truthful messages. SR,226.
-
- TREES
-
- TREES ARE CLOSER TO MAN THAN ANTS. ...TREES
AND MAN CAN DEVELOP A GREAT RELATIONSHIP; THAT'S SO BECAUSE THEY
SHARE EMANATIONS.
- ....trees are closer to man than ants.
...trees and man can develop a great relationship; that's so
because they share emanations. FFW,184...the cocoon of a giant
tree is not much bigger than the tree itself. FFW,184
-
- FEELINGS FOR A TREE
- The feeling I had developed for the trees was
beyond words. I had the certainity that I was able to absorb their
moods, know their age, their insights and what they sensed. I
could communicate with a tree directly through a sensation that
came out from the inside of my body. often, communication began
with a spilling forth of pure affection, almost as intense as what
i felt for Manfred, and affection that came out of me always
unexpectedly and unsolicited. Then I could feel their roots
descending into the earth. i knew whether they neede water and
which roots were extending toward the underground water source.
TSC,244 I could tell what it felt like to live seeking light,
anticipating it, intending it, or what it felt like to feel heat,
cold or be ravaged by lightening and storms. I learned what it was
like never to be able to move off one's destined spot. To be
silent, to sense through the bark, the roots and intake light
through the leaves. i knew, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that
trees feel pain; and I also knew that once communication is
engaged, trees poured themselves out in affection...

ANIMALS
-
- COYOTES
-
- COYOTES ARE TRICKSTERS
- For example, you could have asked that coyote
about anything you wanted to know and it would have been compelled
to give you an answer. the only sad part is that coyotes are not
reliable. they are tricksters. It is your fate not to have a
dependable animal companion. JTI,254.
-
- CROWS
-
- SEEING LIKE A CROW
- I brought up the issue of the difference I had
detected in the movement of light. Things that are alive... move
inside, and a crow can easily see when something is dead, or about
to die, because the movement has stopped or is slowing down to a
stop. a crow can also tell when something is moving too fast, and
by the same token a crow can tell when something is moving just
right.It means a crow can tell actually what to avoid and what to
seek. When something is moving too fast inside, it means it is
about to explode violently, or to leap forward, and a crow will
avoid it. When it moves inside just right, it is pleasing sight
and a crow will seek it. TDJ,172.
- Rocks or dead animals or dead trees (do not
move inside) but they are beautiful to look at. That is why crows
hang around dead bodies. They like to look at them. No light moves
inside them. (flesh rotting) moves but that is a different
movement. When a crow sees then is millions of things moving
inside the flesh with a light of their own, and that is what a
crow likes to see. It is a truly an unforgetable sight.
TDJ,172.
- (would anyone seeing me have thought I was an
ordinary crow) You can't think that way when dealing with the
power of the allies. Such questions make no sense, and yet to
become a crow is the simplest of all matters. It is almost like
frolicking; it has little usefulness. As I have already told you,
the smoke is not for those who seek power. It is only for those
who crave to see. TDJ,173.
- A crow is safe. it is ideal in size and
nature. It can go safely into any place without attracting
attention... it is possible to become a lion or a bear, but that
is rather dangerous. Such a creature is too large; it takes too
much energy to become one. one can also become a cricket, or a
lizard, or even an ant, but that is even more dangerous, because
large animals prey on small creatures. TDJ,173.

EARTH AND SUN
-
- EARTH
-
- THE EARTH HAS A COCOON THAT TRAPS THE EAGLE'S
EMANATIONS
- ..everything on the earth is encased.
FFW,182...the earth itself is a living being... the earth has a
cocoon..there is a ball encasing the earth, a luminous cocoon that
traps the Eagle's emanations. The earth is a gigantic sentient
being subjected to the same forces we are. FFW,222
-
- THE EARTH IS THE ULTIMATE SOURCE OF EVERYTHING
WE ARE: IT HAS ALL THE EMANATIONS PRESENT IN MAN'S
COCOON
- ....the earth is the ultimate source of
everything we are.. FFW,223 Since both the earth and man are
sentient beings, their emanations coincide, or rather, the earth
has all the emanations present in man and all the emanations that
are present in all sentient beings, organic and inorganic for that
matter. FFW,224...The secret knowledge of the earth had to do with
everything that stands on the ground.. people, animals,
insects,trees, small plants, rocks, soil. FFW,99
-
- THE EARTH WAS SENTIENT AND THAT ITS AWARENESS
COULD AFFECT THE AWARENESS OF HUMANS.
- sorcerers became aware that the earth was
sentient and that its awareness could affect the awareness of
humans. POS,111
-
- THE EARTH CAN GIVES US A BOOST OF ENERGY TO
MOVE OUR ASSEMBLAGE POINTS
- ...just before the sun goes down...you will
have a few key moments to catch all the glitter you need.... there
is enough glitter in those mountains to jolt your AP... The magic
key that opens earth's door is made of internal silence plus
anything else that shines. FFW,223... the earth can give the
warrior a tremendous boost; it is an impulse that comes from the
awareness of the earth itself at the instant in which the
emanations inside warrior's cocoons are aligned with the
appropriate emanations inside the earth's cocoon. FFW,224 the
earth's boost is the force of alignment of only the amber
emanations. It is a boost that heightens awareness to unthinkable
degrees. To the new seers it is a blast of unlimited
consciousness, which they called total freedom. FFW,268.... When a
moment of alignment takes place, sentient beings use that
alignment in a limited way and perceive their world. Warriors can
use that alignment either to perceive, like everyone else or as a
boost that allows them to enter unimaginable worlds. FFW,225...
the boost will come at the moment you see the glitter on the top
of that mountain... go with the boost wherever it takes
you..FFW,229...there was a point of intense brilliance on the
highest peak in the range... FFW,230..The speed of that boost will
dissolve everything about you..under its impact you will become
nothing. Speed and the sense of individual existence don't go
together. FFW,232...the supreme awareness of the earth is what
makes it possible for us to change into other great bands of
emanations... alignment is the secret passageway and the earth's
boost is the key. FFW, 233.
-
- IN ORDER TO GET ENERGY FROM THE EARTH..OLD
SEERS USED TO BURY THEMSELVES FOR PERIODS OF TIME, DEPENDING ON
WHAT THEY WANTED TO ACCOMPLISH
- in order to get energy from the earth..old
seers used to bury themselves for periods of time, depending on
what they wanted to accomplish. The more difficult the task, the
longer their burial period. FFW,255. the energy of the earth...(is
a special kind of energy).. it complements the energy of the sun.
Perhaps you'll feel it entering through your hands as you work the
soil. or it may start to flow into your legs as you squat on the
ground. TSC,110.
-
- THE EARTH IS A HEALER: THE DIRT IS A
SCREEN
- ....There is no better healer than the
earth..the dirt is a screen, it doesn't allow anything to go
through.. EG,12.... DJ made me roll on the ground until I regained
my calmness. TOP,51 The energy of the earth is nurturing.. You're
empty enough from your recapitulation that some of it is already
creeping into your body. You feel at ease because you know that
the earth is the mother of all things... everything comes from the
earth. The earth sustains and nourishes us; and when we die, our
bodies return to it... unless of course we succeed in the great
crossing. TSC,111.
-
- GEOGRAPHICAL PLACES HELP OUR ASSEMBLAGE POINTS
MOVE
- certain geographical areas not only help that
precarious movement of the AP, but also select specific directions
for that movement. For instance, the Sonoran desert helps the AP
move downward from its customary position, to the place of the
beast. FFW,160. The Sonoran desert there is a particular
confluence of the Eagle's emanations here..which helps the AP
move. FFW,166.
-
- IN ORDER TO BE FREE WE MUST LOVE THE
EARTH
- Genaro roams on the paths of his love (earth)
and wherever he is, he is complete...the earth is the predilection
of two warriors..this earth, this world. For a warrior there can
be no greater love. TOP,281. Only if one loves this earth with
unbending passion can one release one's sadness...a warrior is
always joyful because his love is unalterable and his beloved, the
earth, embraces him and bestows upon him inconceivable gifts. The
sadness belongs only to those who hate the very thing that gives
shelter to their beings. This lovely being, which is alive to its
last recesses and understands every feeling, soothed me, it cured
me of my pains, and finally when I had fully understood my love
for it, it taught me freedom.. TOP,282....the sorcerers
explanation cannot at all liberate the spirit..because without an
unwavering love for the being that gives you shelter, aloneness is
loneliness...only the love for this splendorous being can give
freedom to a warrior's spirit; and freedom is joy, efficiency and
abandon in the face of any odds. That is the last lesson. it is
always left for the very last moment, for the moment of ultimate
solitude when a man faces his death and his aloneness. Only then
does it make sense. TOP,283.
-
- THE
SUN
-
- IF YOU ALLOW THE SUN'S LIGHT TO ENTER YOUR
BODY, YOUR ENERGY, TOO, WILL FLOURISH.
- that's why you have to cultivate the garden
and absorb its energy and also the energy of the sun... the sun
bestows its energy on the earth and causes things to grow. If you
allow the sun's light to enter your body, your energy, too, will
flourish. (see breathing pass for the sun) TSC,112.The light of
the sun is pure power...after all, it's the most intensely
gathered energy there is. TSC,114.
-
- SHOULD ALWAYS WEAR A HAT IN THE
SUN
- she said I should always wear a wide brimmed
hat in order to shield my head and face. TSC,112... The sun if
used properly charges this line (invisible line that runs from the
top of the head)
- and causes it to spring into action. That's
why the crown of the head must always be protected.
TSC,114.
-
- D.
ELEMENTS
-
- FIRE
-
- PURE FLAME CAN TAKE YOU TO THE DEPTHS OF THE
UNKNOWN. FFW,134
- The new seers divided fire into heat and
flame. Flame is a higher magical, property than heat and they used
them (flame and fluidity) as a means of bodily transportation to
the realm of nonorganic life. FFW,101,102....The new seers
discovered that flames... can transport man bodily, just as water
does. FFW,101
- Pure flame can take you to the depths of the
unknown. FFW,134
-
- SMOKE/SMOKING
SOMEONE
- He pulled your luminosity and dried it with
the smoke from a fire he had made. Smoke is very important for
sorcerers.. Smoke is like fog. Fog is better of course, but it's
too hard to handle. it's not as handy as smoke is. So if a
sorcerer wants to see and know someone who is always hiding...who
is capricious and difficult, the sorcerer makes a fire and lets
the smoke envelop the person. Whatever they're hiding comes out in
the smoke. SRP,234. The Nagual said that the smoke takes
everything out of you... it makes you clear and direct.
SRP,234
- The smoke used to irritate my throat and eyes
to such a degree..he said that I had to learn to control my
breathing and feel the smoke while I kept my eyes closed; that way
I could breathe without choking. SRP,234.
- You smoked me. You gazed into my face, into my
eyes. You saw the lights that mark a man's face. I am a sorcerer,
you saw that in my eyes. The eyes of men are not all alike.
SR,190.
-
- FOG
-
- YOU CAN USE FOG TO SMOKE PEOPLE OR
PLACES
- The nagual told us once that you smoked a
whole place in the mountains and saw what was hiding behind in the
scenery. SRP,235.
-
- WATER
-
- WATER CAN HELP US ENTER INTO THE SECOND
ATTENTION
- The new seers divided water into wetness and
fluidity. FFW,101...Mirror and the stream and the inorganic
being... FFW, 103-122. ..the idea is to let the fluidity of the
water exert pressure on us and transport us away. FFW,105.. The
old seers thought that the reflecting surface of a shiny object
submerged in water enlarges the power of the water. What they used
to do was gaze into bodies of the water, and the reflecting
surface served as an aid to accelerate the process. they believed
that our eyes are the keys to entering into the unknown; by gazing
into water, they were allowing the eyes to open the way.
FFW,108
- the old seers observed that the wetness of
water only dampens or soaks, but that the fluidity of water moves.
It runs, they surmised, in search of other levels underneath us.
They believed that water had been given to us not only for life,
but also as a link, a road to the other levels below. FFW,108...
the old seers were convinced that it was humanly possible to be
transported bodily by the fluidity of water anywhere between this
level of ours and the seven others below; or to be transported in
essence anywhere on this level, along the watercourse of a river
in either direction. They used... running water to be transported
on this level of ours and the water of deep lakes or that of
waterholes to be transported to the depths. The old seers found
out the surest way to meet an inorganic creature is through a body
of water. The size of the body of water is not relevent; an ocean
or a pond serves the same purpose. FFW,109.
- The old seers would have said that you were
being pulled by the power of the water and the power of the first
level, plus the magnetic influence of the creature at the window.
FFW,110.
- the old seers surmised that the seven levels
below ours were levels of the fluidity of water. For them a spring
had untold significance, because they thought that in such a case
the fluidity of water is reversed and goes from the depth to the
surface. They took that to be the means whereby creatures from
other levels, these other forms of life, come to our plane to peer
at us, to observe us... the new seers agreed and said that allies
do appear around water holes. FFW,111
- to gaze directly into the reflection of a
deep, clear pond or lake is infinitely more overwhelming and
dangerous than what we did with the mirror. (DJ and CC using a
mirror to draw out an ally)
- FFW,120.
-
- WEATHER
-
- THUNDER
-
- FOLLOW THE SOUND OF THOUGHT
- I had to focus my attention on the sound of
thought... I should follow the sound and look in the direction
where I thought it came from. JTI,129.

- WIND
-
- A WOMAN HAS HER OWN PARTICULAR
DIRECTION
- Each women has a particular direction, a
particular wind. Men don't. SRP,33.... if the woman quiets down
and is not talking to herself, her wind will pick her up just like
that. SRP,41
-
- THERE ARE FOUR WINDS
- There are four winds.. SRP,40...
-
- THE FOUR WINDS ARE FEMALE
- the four winds are women..that is why female
warriors seek them. SRP,41.
-
- FIRST WIND IS THE BREEZE, THE MORNING,
EAST
- the first wind is the breeze, the morning. it
brings hope and brightness; it is the hearld of the day. It comes
and goes and gets into everything. Sometimes it is mild and
unnoticeable; other times it is nagging and bothersome. SRP,40...
the breeze is the east... it is gay and sleek and shifty.
SRP,41.
-
- SECOND WIND IS THE HARD WIND, MIDDAY,
NORTH
- Another wind is the hard wind, either hot or
cold or both. A midday wind. Blasting full of energy but also full
of blindness. It breaks through doors and brings down walls. A
sorcerer must be very strong to tackle the hard wind. SRP,40...
The hard wind is the north.. it is energetic and commandeering and
impatient. SRP,41
-
- THIRD WIND IS COLD WIND,
AFTERNOON,WEST
- Then there is the cold wind of the afternoon.
Sad and trying. A wind that would never leave you in peace. It
will chill you and make you cry. The Naugal said that there is
such depth to it, though, that it is more than worthwhile to seek
it. SRP,41..the cold wind is the west.. it is moody and melancholy
and always pensive. SRP,41
-
- THE FOURTH WIND IS HOT WIND, NIGHT,
SOUTH
- And at last there is the hot wind. It warms
and protects and envelops everything. It is a night wind for
sorcerers. Its power goes together with the darkness. SRP,41.. The
hot wind is the south. it is happy and abandoned and bouncy.
SRP,41.
-
- THE NAGUAL'S WIND
- it may seem to be wind to you, because wind is
all you know. JTI,61...what I was calling the wind was not wind at
all but something that had a volition of its own and could
actually recognize us. JTI,62...something that hides in the wind
and looks like a whorl, a cloud, a mist, a face that twirls
around. JTI,64...it moves in a specific direction..it either
tumbles or twirls. JTI,64. this can follow us..it can make us
tired or it might even kill us... JTI,64.

from China, the practitioners of feng-shui, would have undoubtedly
picked as a temple site. Here the elements of water, wood, and air
are in perfect harmony.. here, energy circulates in abundance.
TSC,41
-
- CAVE
-
- INHERENT SPIRIT TO CAVES
- There was an inherent spirit to caves, whether
they were natural or man-made, and that that spirit had to be
approached with respect. Crawling was the only way of showing that
respect. SRP,105. Didn't you know that in the ancient Orient,
monks and scholars used to retreat to caves?.. being surrounded by
the earth helped them to meditate. TSC,41.

TIME, DIRECTIONS, NUMBERS

- TIME
-
- SUNSET/TWILIGHT:THE TIME FOR THE CRACK BETWEEN
THE WORLDS
- the twilight is the crack between the
worlds..it is the door to the unknown. TOP,283, TDJ,94...at this
time of the day, in the twilight, there is no wind. At this time
there is only power. JTI,64...during the twilight the wind becomes
power...JTI,65..
- The twilight is the best time to listen for
the voice of the spirit. TSC,83. The world is a mysterious place.
Especially in the twilight. JTI,64.
-
- THE FUTURE DOESN'T EXIST. THAT THE PRESENT IS
BUT AN INSTANT, NOTHING MORE.
- The future doesn't exist. It's time you
realized this. And when you have finished recapitulating and have
completely erased the past, all that will be left is the present.
And then you will know that the present is but an instant, nothing
more. TSC,179.
-
- TIME IS THE ESSENCE OF ATTENTION
- When she or her peers talked about time they
were not referring to something which is measured by the movement
of a clock. Time is the essence of attention; the Eagle's
emanations are made out of time; and properly, when one enters
into any aspect of the other self, one is being acquainted with
time. EG,305.
-
- TURNING A WARRIORS HEAD
- When Don Juan had described the concept of
turning a warrior's head to face a new direction, I had understood
it as a metaphor that depicted change in attitude. Florinda said
that that description was true, but it was no metaphor. it was
true that stalkers turn their heads;however, they do not turn to
face them to face a new direction, but to face time in a different
way. Stalkers face the oncoming time... normally we face time as
it recedes from us. only stalkers can change that and face time as
it advances on them. EG,294.
-
- FLORINDA EXPLAINED THAT TURNING THE HEAD DID
NOT MEAN SEEING INTO THE FUTURE, BUT THAT SEES TIME AS SOMETHING
CONCRETE, YET INCOMPREHENSIBLE.
- Florinda explained that turning the head did
not mean seeing into the future, but that sees time as something
concrete, yet incomprehensible. EG,294.
-
- THE
DIRECTIONS
-
- SOUTH
-
- the south is the direction that power follows
in its ceaseless flux. Life force flows to us from the south, and
leaves us flowing toward the north. EG,189. The only opening to a
Naugals world was through the south. EG,189. The south was really
the night-a warm, friendly, cozy night.. EG,192.
-
- NORTH
-
- the north is the midday. EG,205.
-
- EAST
-
- the east was the morning, the light...
EG,192.
-
- WEST
- the west is naturally approached at dusk, a
time of day which is difficult just in itself. EG,196.
-
- CLOCKWISE
-
- A clockwise movement is for charging things,
for gathering energy for any enterprise. TSC,94.
-
- NUMBERS
-
- NUMBER THREE
- the number three is a symbol of dynamics,
change, movement, and above all, a symbol of revitalization.
EG,231.
- Sorcerer's always count events in sets of
three. TSC,227.
-
- NUMBER FOUR
- the number four is a power number for them.
SRP,40.
-
- NUMBER FOURTY-EIGHT
- while discussing corn sorcery and divination,
that the number of corn kernels that a sorcerer possessed was
48... fourty-eight is our number..that's what makes us men..I
don't know why. TOP,40.

STRENGTHENING OUR NEW CONTINUITY
-
- DEALING WITH A SHIFT IN THE AP/KEEPING
SANE
-
- FEELING OF GOING INSANE
- ...while Clara maintained that my energy was
unmistakably on the rise because I could now have conversations
with Manfred, I believed the opposite was true: I was slowly going
over the deep end. TSC,157.
-
- TWO WAYS TO DEAL WITH THE NEW
CONTINUITY
- There are two options opened to warriors whose
AP has shifted. One is to acknowledge being ill and to behave in
deranged ways, reacting emotionally to the strange worlds that
their shifts force them to witness; the other is to remain
impassive, untouched, knowing that the AP always returns to its
original position. FFW,138.
- Since our minds are our rationality, and our
rationality is our self-reflection, anything beyond our
self-reflection either appalls us or attracts us, depending on
what kind of persons we are. POS,229
- If the AP never returns to its original
position then those people are lost.. they are either incurable
crazy, because their AP could never assemble the world as we know
it, or they are peerless seers who have begun their movement
toward the unknown. FFW,138. Impeccable warriors don't lose their
marbles. They remain untouched. FFW,139 in order for you and me to
be sane, we have to work like demons at balancing, not the body or
the mind, but the double.. TSC,232
-
- DEALING WITH A NEW WORLD VIEW
- the naugal Julian used to tell them that they
had been evicted from the homes where they had lived all their
lives. A result of having saved energy had been the disruption of
their cozy but utterly limiting and boring nest in the world of
everyday life. Their depression...was not so much the sadness of
having lost their nest, but the annoyance of having to look for
new quarters...the new quarters are not as cozy..but they are
definitely more roomy. Your new level of energy will create a spot
to house your AP. (his AP has shifted to a new permanaent
position) FFW,172. There is a drawback from time to time as the AP
returns to its original position. FFW,173
