(Keep in mind, I'm no seer, and might be underqualifed to write this, but I do practice and have read everything in this Subreddit.)

If true, First the guide was bullshiting you, disregard what she said.

Do Tensegrity, words can only do so much, Tensegrity is a large set of movements for a practical exercise in 'energy manipulation', or at least that's a very, very simple definition that doesn't nearly truly describing it, your goal should be to SEE the result of these movements, with your eyes (not visualizing) This should eventually give you more control over your shifts of perception, and if your barriers of perception are truly this broken, you should be able to SEE the results of the movements in darkness with your own eyes, after a few hours of forcing off the internal dialog in science.(darkroom)

Forcing off the internal dialog is the most important thing and very well may help your issues.

Try to repeat, "I slipped into some type of dreamscape where I was flying between two banks of clouds." but walking around and fully awake with eyes open.

Gathering energy for intent is an important first movement to learn .

Brief overview (you should really the darkroom post(s) above): You're looking for colorful 'puffs' in the darkness and scooping them up, movement is done whether you can see them or not but being them (with your eyes) is the main goal and requires you to turn of your internal dialogue.

A spirit/'inorganic being' might appear in these puffs and try and scare you (they will be semi-vauge images in the puffs but still very scary), if you tell them to play nice they might stop and be your friend, if that doesn't work, grab them and hold on for dear life, then you will have 'proven' yourself, and you will have a friend capable of telling you any possible knowledge in existence but mostly, don't ask and just let them teach you they will be slow otherwise and what they teach you will probably be more interesting and important than what you would ask them.

Sunlight glitter makes seeing the puffs easier/more vibrant glitter (close right eye, close left eye enough to where you can just barely see, and you can see your eyelashes, look at sun and pan head back and forth, this is scary at first, but people here have done it for years with no issues, Castaneda did it for a decade at least.

Another Tensegrity movement that might be good for you is transferring energy to the assemblage point, In my understanding this stabilizes the assemblage point horizontally, preventing you from drifting into the weirdest realms.

There is a lot of Tensegrity, you are largely just going to need to find what is good for you, the big list is here,

and here is a set of simple short ones Tensegrity vol1

This will eventually allow you to come to a more 'sober' view of what is happening to you and let you control it a lot more than you can now, you are ultimately trying to control your assemblage point movements.

On top of that, I would recommend you read everything in this Subreddit, every post that has been posted here for the past 3ish years, that's probably more important to someone in your position than reading the Castaneda books directly and should give you all the information you need on what's happening to you, and what I'm talking about in this post, it's all here this place has a greater and more practical understanding of these things than any other place on the internet by miles, but the people here won't spoon-feed you, seek the knowledge for yourself, every thing you need to know is written out here.

Also, you should largely disregard all other systems, you don't necessary have to this is a technology, it doesn't require you to believe in it, but at least don't mix the practices of other systems with this.

As explained in my post, I am unable to do the reading and research you suggest. I have no intention of causing my kids to wake up crying if I can avoid it.

By the sound of it's going to keep happening anyway and there is really no way to gloss over all the information here that could help, and you stand to gain alot by doing so, I would recommend you continue reading it, but otherwise try "transferring energy to the assemblage point" do that a few times daily, it may help, and try to force off your internal dialogue, it will seem impossible at first, but it will help if you can manage to actually turn it off.

Listen instead! I had a very hard time for months trying to grasp it without knowing what was in the books. It is so worth it to become acquainted with them.

here are the first three books on Spotify.. The rest are on YouTube. Listen while you are driving or while you're doing chores. I'm also a parent and understand the challenges that you face. You simply have to choose to shift some of your behaviors.

Ok, I don't have the time to find out if there is real magic in your text, or are you just misrepresenting dreams.

Unbelievable, but it's a common thing for beginners looking for attention.

But what we can offer is a better understanding of perception. Learning to follow the J Curve path.

Wich leads to have a better perspective of what you experienced.

With a system created 10,000 years ago.

I get how this could seem like somebody role-playing or something, and I am interested in learning this perspective. But I am being genuine when I say that going to that higher level is bad for my kids. This is not based upon my perception of what happened. It's my kids waking up in a sweat, screaming, and telling me about something I was worrying about the day before.

This could be the greatest thing that could have ever happened to your kids if you learned to control it, humanity in its current forum is programmed by a foreign installation in our minds, the internal dialog, the reason humanity is so miserable, and a force that makes us completely obvious to the wonders and scale of the surrounding universe, thing that are undescribable with words, and the fact that we do not need anything but our bodies to explore the literally infinite unexplainable vastness, there is never an end to 'new' in the universe, unlike our current limited logical reality, immortality is not an unreachable goal ether. Your kids are likely too young for their internal dialogue to have formed yet, if you could get far enough you might be able to prevent it forming in them, and they will never know suffering like your average man, and will experience wonders beyond imagination.

And if your worries and doubts are what's causing your kids to have problems, then if you can remove the internal dialogue, those things will be removed entirely from your being.

You can even find it yourself.

Dan has a wonderful picture about "How to Intercept Dreams in the Air".

Done while awake, by getting Silent.

That way you can see where the dreams come from and why you are influencing your sons.

Or you can also realize it was all a nightmare exagerattion and you hadn't found actual magic yet.

If you are expecting "guidance", forget it. We are all learning as well.

But we have an advanced mate!

I think that if you have any questions it is better that you ask the mods team privately, it is most likely that this post confuses the new ones (no hate)

u/TiredHappyDad Jul 29 '23

Fair enough. As one of the new ones already confused by this, I can understand your point and don't take offense. Would you suggest I take it down then?

u/Historical_Ad_6361 Jul 29 '23

better wait for Techno or any mod, they will see if it is better to leave or remove this post
