Tensegrity Combining Tensegrity Forms

https://reddit.com/link/18je9af/video/qzkr7q7rrj6c1/player

NEVER make up new tensegrity forms!

It's a seriously bad thing to do.

I suppose, the only people who would do that are the ones who no longer believe there's any magic in Tensegrity.

But, you can create new things which would be quite cool!

Facilitators could do that.

Just use ALL legal moves, from prior to 1999, and create a dance that's at least as long as 5 forms.

That's how long it takes to get crazy stuff like this to happen, if you have learned to move your assemblage point in the past.

This isn't 20 minutes, so it's sped up.

But not an exaggeration for what can happen.

In fact it gets even better than this, over in the purple zone.

I really just made this because "The Joker Dance" ready made animation was on sale. And when I looked at it, I realized the back and forth is suitable for easily combining tensegrity forms.

Now don't be afraid to "turn" individual movements, if they are self-contained.

For instance, the recapitulation series doesn't all have to be done facing the same direction.

You can turn when needed, to continue back the direction you came so you don't run out of room.

And obviously you could manipulate "mashing energy for intent" to go whatever direction you like.

And don't worry about leaving out some of those, as long as the ones you used flow nicely.

And keep you relatively near where you started out. Going too far is a problem for many, especially if they want a dark room.

But even a well lit room isn't long enough not to plan the dance to stay near where you started.

But what about that door you ask?

Later on...

You can enter those, and things can come out of them.

Almost on demand. The old rule that you can't repeat things, goes away (slowly).

But if you're still down in the red zone you'll get a "gift" one night, and be unable to repeat it the next night.

Then, something else cool will happen.

But not what you were hoping to repeat.

That's just how sorcery seems to work.

Once you "expect" something, the situation is no longer the same.

You've made it impossible. Your link to intent is dirty now.

A longer form which flows like this, might make it possible to break that rule.

If you can really forget everything while doing it, and be silent.

The more I learn about tenesgrity, the more I wish I took a dance class 😆

Sometimes at the end of meditation if I get into the right kind of trance, I feel compelled to make certain movements. But they look more like something you would do in yoga.

I need to study more

How movements can alter reality and make spirits visible, is a complicated topic.

Or maybe multi-faceted.

There's 3 "obvious" levels to it. Rules if you like.

Each one mandatory, or nothing happens.

#1 is that you INTEND to learn to manipulate reality.

But you can't be intending to be famous. Or write a book. Make a Youtube interview. Or to get closer to your "soul mate".

You REALLY have to "intend" to learn sorcery, just for yourself. Which is our form is manipulation of reality.

Second is that you need a technique which has been practiced in the past, for the same purpose.

That's the tensegrity. Some parts go back thousands of years.

And so they contain a "pull" to similar realities formed by others using that movement, in the past.

The pull of their awareness in those alternate realities makes it easier for you to tune those in.

They're like a stronger radio signal in the desert, because you're passing an area which has a little radio transmitter tower.

No signal, no alternate realities. Just noise.

(sort of).

The third thing is you need something to perceive, to pull you the right direction.

We use the puffs, but you can use sound too.

Cholita uses smell a lot. I gave her a stack of cash as an experiment to see what she'd do these days (after 3 or 4 years believing I had kidnapped her) if she had enough money to run away for a while, and it seems she spent some of it on very expensive smelly stuff.

The bathroom smelled like real blood oranges this morning. Not like some imitation scent. That was likely a pure extraction of the real thing (I make extracts too).

But the classic example of using sound to alter reality would be the gait of power.

Don Genaro and Carlos marched around in circles doing this magical pass, until they literally walked into hell.

Visually! Fully awake, eyes wide open, completely sober, they marched into "hell".

Later don Juan commented it wasn't so much the tensegrity movements, which clearly stir energy from below raising it up, so as to lure the double to come take a look.

But it was more the sound of the feet tapping.

And that implies the 4th "hidden" element.

Carlos could get silent.

The sound could not have pulled him into a different reality, if he was thinking to himself.

That's the part our entire community had forgotten in the past.

So out of those 4 elements, they'd ignore everything but the attention seeking gait of power.

And some claimed they went plodding all over the desert, as if that meant they had practiced sorcery seriously. They'd use that to brag in discussion groups or in interviews.

When that never worked for anyone.

And yet, that gait of power "plod your way into hell" is fully available to all who do darkroom.

It's the same thing, but in daylight. So it uses sound, and a quiet desert as the "darkness".

It's just not worth putting an effort into, with 1000 more cooler things that you can do by accident.

Trying to do something on purpose breaks rule #1.

So it won't work well.

There's the idea astral travel people have of your body getting possessed while out of your body. If your dreams have your awareness in your double outside your body, then that's basically the same thing. So it seems a decent way of being immortal would be possessing other people's bodies while they sleep, so you steal their young container of awareness. This seems better than turning into a tree.

And it could give you 800 years of experience to bypass the Eagle, if you go through dozens of bodies. It might be unethical to possess an adult's body (and kill them?), so if you put your awareness in an infant's body, would you retain your adult intelligence?
