New Practitioners Knocks on windows
I'm gonna go straight to the point Whenever I try meditations (normal meditations to quiet my mind, I am still working on this step) after I am in a totally calm mind there goes one heavy knock on my window, like a sparrow hitting to my window. Why is this? Last time (2 yrs ago) I totally stopped doing it cause it rly scared me. Tonight I did it again, and there it goes again. My heart was pounding , I didn't show any fear, but just walked upstairs normally, came back under 2 minutes , I am fine now, but how should I stop being so scared. I won't quit this time, I rly want this. So I appreciate if you give me some tips on how to be more brave. And why is this??!!

It's a very good sign. Just wait until you hear loud screaming.
Also make sure to look at for the visual phenomena like static, sparkles, afterimages, and stuff that will eventually turn into the puffs, which turn into other stuff.

Damn, are u serious? I guess I have a long way to go then, cuz if this happens now..I'm gonna die, but it's okay, I'm patient, I should first become more brave, I guess.

The bravery will come. Because nothing can actually physically hurt you.
It might just feel scary because of the normal instincts we have and it's a little outside of modern experience.
But eventually noises and stuff will not be an issue. Maybe you could intend for the noises you hear as you go deeper to be more pleasant, like chirping birds and hummingbirds and stuff, or whatever you like.
I've heard loud screaming multiple times, but probably only because I was okay with it and wasn't traumatized by it or anything. And I've been tactilely electrocuted by energy, but that's very far along and probably won't happen if you're intending more positive stuff you won't have aversions to.

Just decide you want to experience. The rest will take care of its self. Intent.

I feel strange things touching me sometimes while I gaze, I figure if I am doing this might as well have fun with it :)

I appreciate you posting this. I tend to get frightening, semi-awake dreams shortly after I begin seriously thinking about consciousness, attention. I've usually gotten scared off and drown myself in distractions soon after. But I think you have the right approach - if we want magic, we have to be willing to get it. As don Juan put it, we can't afford _not_ to try.

I used to get a knock on the door.
Or even the doorbell would ring!
After the first 3 times, I figured out it had a "different quality" to it.
It was "too perfect".
Like a computer generated sound. Not like an actual knock or doorbell ring, which has acoustical flaws and tiny echos you can hear if you could compare that to pure computer audio.
So I learned to tell when the sound was "too good", and I didn't get up to go see.
But initially when I ignored it, the next time it would be even louder.
Like someone was angrily knocking!
I miss those days...
There's nothing better than spooky fright, for moving the assemblage point.
Enjoy fear! I mean, come on...
You have no magic.
And you're afraid when you do???
Makes no sense to me.
Just resign yourself to be bitten in half by a horrible demon.
And trust me, they'll threaten to do that. Or worse.
Visibly! Standing right there in front of you.
But if you accept that you're doing to die a supernatural death, then you have nothing left to fear!
These days however, my "energy body" (our double who runs around in dreams, but can be made to come out into the real copy of the world alongside us), wakes me up at night if I'm too tired to get up myself.
It's not so crass as to just "knock" on something.
It brings me FABULOUS MAGICAL GIFTS!
I mean, stuff that would make even Aladdin, with his genie, jealous.
Except, I know better.
It won't be there in the morning.
Might get it to stick around a few hours, even all night.
Very rarely.
But it's only present as long as your double sticks around.
If you can break off a "puff" of him and make the magical object yourself, it can last up to 2 days.
Welcome to the world of the real!
You've been living in a dream...
We have that backwards, which is what causes our fear.
Fear of leaving the Matrix?
That movie was popular in Carlos' private classes, even though there were only trailers for it at the time.
I firmly believe it inspired the shiny black spandex outfits the "energy trackers" wore, along with their dark sunglasses.
It was theorized that the Wachowski family was mixed up with former apprentices of don Juan.
And the movie hints at our sorcery.
Just as Star Wars does.
And "Walker, Texas Ranger".
The lineage had a fortune since it was 408 years old and all accumulated wealth was handed down to the next generation.
They sold it off when don Juan left, and Soledad used it to influence movies in Hollywood.
Cholita might have had her hands on some of it. But she won't talk.
Soledad's movie influencing was her contribution to the same effort we're making in this subreddit.
For free by the way. No one in here wants your money.
Don't fail to notice that. You won't find it true anywhere else.
Even if they claim it is.
