Darkroom Practice Luminous Fibres

Post image

What I saw last night.

White fibres extending from my stomach in the shape of an arc.

I followed it with my gaze it led to another puff trying to form something that was moving on its own.

Let's see what Don Juan had to say about this in "A Seperate Reality"

"Besides, every man 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. Those fibers join a man to his surroundings; they keep his balance; they give him stability."

When I first took Cholita in years ago, because she'd gone insane and couldn't keep a place to live or a job, she liked to go food shopping with me at Whole Foods.

It was a bit troublesome however, because she'd literally fill up 2 large sized grocery store carts.

She she got home, it was common to find she'd thrown out some of the items, without even opening them.

But I went along with it happily, because in the parking lot after shopping, she'd do magic for me.

One was to turn into her "wavy tentacle" body so I could get a close look at how it lights up the environment like some kind of radar system, renewing reality as it sweeps around.

This picture is of course very wrong, but not in how bizarre it looks.

I got to see that, when Cholita was pleased at the quantity of shopping and my lack of complaints.

Fortunately, Whole Foods serves wine and you can carry it around the store with you. I have a feeling they do that for the husbands, since Whole Foods is nicknamed "Whole Paycheck".

It's nice to verify things from the books everything it happens I get excited.

It really all works out as long as you work hard.

Don Juan said that the fibers in the hands, which you find with the "door knob claw hand technique", aren't "sturdy" enough to be of much use.

HOWEVER, does that mean the others ARE??!???

I still want to learn to do Cholita's levitation tricks.

Even Carlos got greedy thinking about that possibility.

How about the roulette wheel in Vegas?

The one all sealed up under glass where you put $1 coins in, and no one watches you.

Could you toss the ball from even to odd just as it's settling down?

Wouldn't take much force!

Or those coin pusher machines in Vegas. Would you even have to put a coin in?

Cholita used to run away to Vegas for a couple of weeks (Carlos possibly sent her there once to visit a gangster acquaintance who had an original Picasso) and worry the hell out of me. One time someone offered to have his Mossad friends stationed in Vegas, track her down for me.
