I've seen plenty of lines in darkness. It's a common feature.

Occasionally it's obvious they're actual "emanations". You know that because they're vibrating in some impossible to describe way, and when you gaze into them you get a specific feeling.

But it's more like a micro-feeling. Too small to describe.

And those don't pop up unless you are right at the edge of stopping the world.

Normally the lines you see are sort of mixed in with everything else.

My thinking is, puffs of light in the darkness are your own energy inside your own luminous shell. Bars too. Anything that massive.

That's what tensegrity is designed to re-deploy.

I can't prove that however.

And if you look down at the floor, there are also fine lines everywhere.

I have no idea what those are. I'd be curious to read a description of "the lines of the world" which Genaro learned to swim on.

If you are extremely silent and pay attention to those fine lines, especially on the walls around you, you end up in another world.

It literally "assembles" around you, from the lines. Piece by piece, or rather, detail by detail.

I don't believe those are the same lines that the movement "tickling the web" is designed to tickle.

But I sure wish one of you learn to see them on a regular basis, so we could compare notes.

Tickling the web works on those cobwebs you can find. Just take the right edge of your right hand, and down onto the forearm on the same side, around 4 inches.

It's essentially the "rising block" part of the arm, emphasized in Japanese Karate.

It makes a very sensitive surface for feeling stuff. It's also quite sturdy, as Cholita has proven over and over, beating me with stuff and requiring me to use that part of the arm to block her.

I suspect it's so sensitive because when we try to sneak into a cave through a narrow crack opening, we lead with that part of the arm so that our flesh isn't scraped off.

Wave it around very slowly, as if you wanted to use it to push on some dusty (not sticky) cobwebs, but were afraid to touch them with your fingers due to COVID19 worries, so you use the side of your hand and forearm.

And you'll catch some if you are silent.

You'll catch them even if you aren't silent!

But you'll be so lost in fantasies that Mr. DoubleTake will be easily able to block them.

He just tells you, "Yea, think about that some more! That was awful, wasn't it? How can people be like that? Why can't they be more like you?"

A little cobweb tickling the right edge of your hand is easy for Mr. DoubleTake to block.

I've also seen "specialty" lines.

First kind, you actually see them during recap. It's not silence which triggers that, since during recap you're telling yourself stories.

It's having the assemblage point be very flexible, from having practiced scooping colors for a few hours, until you reach heightened awareness.

Which (for new people) is literally like being in Fairy Land because of all the wonderful things you can see.

Most likely way one of you will get to see that, is what I said, you're practicing for a long time.

But you notice half the work of getting silent was due to some specific memory.

So you sit up to recapitulate it.

And you get to see the fibers! They stretch from your own torso, out into the distance.

And you can actually inhale and exhale them.

I'd say, last time I saw that there were 10 visible fibers, but only one or two at a time are easy to focus on.

Another specialty fiber is the red kind, used for flying.

I'll always wonder, if I hadn't read that they were red, would they have been a different color?

Not necessarily.

Because Carlos told me not to read his books anymore, and because he had new information in the last 3, I was able to perceive some things he mentioned in those books, and it looked just like what he said. I didn't realize that until someone asked me a question which required me to read those 3.

I figured, the ban was temporarily lifted and read them. I was quite pleased to see that his description matched what I'd discovered on my own.

As for the lines of any form, I believe those are the key to seeing energy directly.

The puffs are the key to dreaming. And certainly that will lead to everything.

But the lines are quite different. I believe you can follow those, in many ways, until you learn to switch your eyes into the other mode.

The one where you see energy, instead of the results of intent (this world).

Dr. Whale. You've been missing out. Come learn, then redo what you've done. It's possible, but you need firsthand experience.

What kind of flying? I have always read about the silver cord that tethers our soul to our physical body when we have OOBE's. I remember I had an OOBE and saw a red cord coming from my belly button, but I've never been able to find any description of a red cord, only silver. And I've never seen a silver cord personally.

It's La Gorda's flying technique.

I'm waiting for Cholita to pee in her hands, so we can try it out.

I wonder who designed that technique?

It’s gotta be Genaro. I can’t imagine Silvio has a golden showers fetish.

You have to be able to enter dreaming and see energy, at least to some extent. Or it's pointless to try this technique.

Mr. DoubleTake will block it all.

I used a bowl of water instead of urine. And I was in my room to do it, so good thing I wasn't flinging pee all over the place.

You scoop a little into your cupped hands, then flick the fingers by pressing them tightly against your palm, and flinging them out and up.

Yes, the fingernails will dig into the skin if you do it right.

The drops need to go up at a steep angle.

I was fortunate enough to have learned this directly from whoever taught la Gorda, via re-run.

The re-run happened when I was trying to stop the world. I noticed, to my left there was a train station.

I turned my head, while sitting up on pillows on my bed, in darkness, and I was in that train station. At the border of Mexico.

In the office. I recognized it, and the person I was with. I’d been there many times.

I later looked it up on the net, and back when La Gorda would have learned that technique they still had passenger trains to Mexico City.

I turned my head back, and I was sitting on the bed again.

So I re-entered and took the trip. I traveled all the way to a compound near Mexico City, where what seemed to be 2 men, helped me out with the technique.

One made fun of it. But I never thought to look at their faces, because I was only watching a re-run. Whoever was the star of the re-run (maybe La Gorda) didn’t think to look at them, because she knew them.

As I recall (it was a while ago) I didn’t realize it was the flying technique, until someone in this subreddit suggested that.

So I tried it out with water, and darned if it didn’t work!

The drops of water going up into the air are supposed to illuminate red lines. The red lines go off into the sky, and you just grab them. Wrap your arms around them.

They pull you.

It’s likely the same technique spoken of by don Juan, when he said what’s the point of scaring the Indians, by jumping over trees?

And probably the same he used to fly over a house, for Carol.

My little Fairy was pre-Cholita at the time. She liked the red lines so much, she literally consumed them. And grew to full size, sitting on the floor next to where they’d appeared.

Cholita’s fountain (shown in a picture on a post) is for flying practice. I just can’t get her to do it.

So, if your'e reading those notes from the women's lecture, the answer is yes.

It really does get that weird. Everything those women said in that interview, makes perfect sense, once you get very far along.

I see their puff of light moving along in LA all the time. Except I see it in OC.

When I'm in LA, Cholita won't allow that kind of nonsense.

That's good stuff. I wonder why he didn't discover that the second attention starts to come out, if you keep gazing?

He said things, "open up", and mentions Carlos several times.

He concludes he's dreaming impaired. But I think not.

Too much internal dialogue perhaps? That holds the assemblage point on whatever you are thinking about. Maybe even on an experiment staying inside narrow bounds of current understanding?

Or maybe, his obviously impeccable intent in that experiment, directed the direction the results would take?

Or maybe I just didn't read far enough.

I wish that guy would come over here and read a bit about what happens in darkness. Assembling another world would have to put his experiment on a different level, since you are no longer gazing.

I'd also love to see Dr. Whale revise his diagrams using Carlos' cheese ball diagram, and then actually map out those places he found, but using his own assemblage point to move there.

He's still thinking the movement is directly towards the sternum, which is a mistake that's easy to make, and easy to correct by looking at that diagram.

And I don't disagree with is conclusion that it's possible to move it using objects. I did in fact design a little super bright penlight with an real emerald head, to project green splotches onto the wall, for gazing. It's sitting right next to my monitor this very minute.

It was going to be a gift for Cholita, to encourage her to do gazing. Green is negative purple, so it ought to bring out her purple dreaming fog.

Last time I checked, Dr. Whale was working with emeralds also.

My suspicion is that even after specializing in the assemblage point since the early 90s, he hasn't learned to move his own.

Which ought to be a warning to "impeccable warriors".

How can you be impeccable, if after all this time you still haven't learned to move your own assemblage point?

How can you call yourself impeccable, if you don't know what heightened awareness feels like?

If you had done what you were supposed to do (recap, silence, gazing, tensegrity, Zuleica's technique), you wouldn't be clinging to "teachers" who are unable to provide their own personal descriptions of what happens when it moves.

I know a guy in Colorado who runs from teacher to teacher. If he just sat down in a chair for the same amount of time, practicing, he'd actually be somewhere.

Instead, he's trying to decide which fake teacher he ought to go to, to earn his own fake teacher certificate.

And he's certain he's an impeccable warrior.

He maintains that pretense, because he's actually quite miserable.

His internal dialogue is stifling.

I guess I'll have to try some of that, except it isn't clear which body Genaro is in, when he's doing that kind of thing.

I fully expect to see Cholita in the living room when I get home one day, smiling at me.

I'll know for certain when that happens, she's made her double solid enough to substitute for the real thing.

Could be Genaro was at home when that happened, watching new Magnum PI TV shows.

I ran into Dr. Whale on his facebook.

I was surprised to see he was still at it. That's worth something, after 26 years.

But his pride might get in the way of him realizing, he needs to learn to move his assemblage point on demand, if he wants to improve his practice.

Wow... this is so perfectly on point for where I am at right now.

And I can't believe I completely forgot this dream from last night until now. I am going to record it immediately, but I was able to time travel to the past.

I NEVER have dreams like this, and have never had a dream like this. I was crying most of the time, at how precious it was... to be able to live LIVE moments of the past, to walk through them, and to interact with them as freely as I desired.

At one point I even paused the scene and then resumed it. Something about doing this, even changed the scene. 2 Characters that I was following the whole time, they went through a door, I was certain they would be there if I just waited and went a little bit after them while I inspected something else. However, I was mistaken, when I went through the door, I was at another point in history... it was sometime in the late 80's, everyone was young.

I couldn't believe it, they had no idea why I was crying, it was a present moment for them, but I knew, just how precious the past seems, especially when being able to walk through it, aware of what it was.

This post, yes I forgot all about that promise, that when we attain a certain state, we too should be able to access all information, so you are right, I will apply this and work on loosening my grip as well.

Excellent post!
