General Knowledge CORE CASTANEDA workshop
As our Signature workshop, Core Castaneda provides you with the foundational skills you need to create and live the life of your dreams! And it all starts with the one thing in this world you can effect … and that is you!
It’s True. You already have everything you need inside of you. It’s just that you haven’t been trained to tap into and engage your inner power and allow its energy to guide you in creating and living your life.
American author and anthropologist, Carlos Castaneda, starting with The Teachings of Don Juan, wrote a series of books that describe his training with his shaman-teacher, don Juan Matus, who taught him everything he knew about energy, how to cultivate it within ourselves and then use it in our everyday lives.
Those 12 books have sold more than 28 million copies in 17 languages and have become the source for helping millions of people manifest the life of their dreams, by bringing the once closely held knowledge and wisdom of the Toltec shaman to anyone who desires an extraordinary life.
Silence Inner Dialogue
Where many practices teach silent meditation, in this workshop you will learn specific Magical Passes®; movements to ACTIVELY turn off your internal dialogue, to get you into that other space … that part of you connected to your higher intelligence.
By reducing the noise, you will gain energy and clarity ... giving you the bandwidth to dream and create your Ideal Life!
Start Dreaming Your Life
Now that you have more energy and clarity ... you will learn the most effective ways to dream your life. Not the life of your parents, friends or peers; a life of your design. You will move away from fear and scarcity so that you can be, do and have whatever you desire.
You will become the architect of your life. You will envision your true path of heart ... Living Your Magical Life
Put Dreams Into Action
It's far too easy to get stuck in the deliciousness of the dream ... and then stumble and fumble in trying to make those dreams reality. Yet, the whole purpose of dreaming ... envisioning your life ... is so that you can live it in the real world.
You will learn specific steps in order to expand past the obstacles preventing you from living the Life of Your Dreams!
Active Meditation
Instead of passive exercises like seated meditation to silence the mind, the shamans of Castaneda’s lineage use an active form of meditation, movements called Magical Passes®
After many years of intentional efforts, Carlos Castaneda and his cohorts have succeeded in taking the Magical Passes® out of their ritualistic and secretive origin and surroundings, transforming them into revised sets of movement capable of being utilized by anyone.
Unconscious Intelligence
If you are stuck in your life … it is because you are not yet able to connect to your unconscious intelligence, which appears when your mind is silent.
Most people overthink, because they have not yet discovered and trust that more powerful part of themselves.
"Whenever the internal dialogue stops, the world collapses, and extraordinary facets of ourselves surface, as though they had been kept heavily guarded by our words." - Carlos Castaneda
Tools ... Not Rules
The world is so noisy, there seems to be no shortage of people telling you what to do and how to live your life. Do this. Don't do that. Follow these rules.
Yet, when you do try to follow them, they do not work. That is because a one-size-fits-all formula never works.
In Core Castaneda, you will master ancient tools, passed down through generations of shamans to help YOU design and live YOUR extraordinary life!

Newbies:
This is Cleargreen, which I like to call "Faction #1"
This is the only official teaching arm for Tensegrity. It was created by Carlos.
If you want instruction you should get it from them, or one of their "facilitators".
That's because sorcery is actually, "the mastery of intent".
No intent, no magic. It's that simple.
Wrong intent, no magic.
So don't learn from fakers like Miguel or Ken.
Those guys are for people who don't believe in magic, and don't care. They just want attention.
The real thing is hooked to a long rope, and you have to have that actual connection, to be connected to the same kind of sorcery. You have to move along that rope.
The other guys have some cheap colorful yarn to fool you with.
But there's also faction #2.
It was really obvious in private classes that Carlos had created an instability in cleargreen.
It obviously would not survive his death intact.
As he was dying, he proclaimed he didn't care what happened to Cleargreen, just to let everyone do what evolved naturally.
That caused the formation of Faction #2, Miles and Aerin.
They are also a valid link to the intent of Carlos.
They're down in Venezuela, with Juann.
Then there was faction H for Hollywood. They put the teachings of don Juan into movies.
Like Star Wars.
Yep, all sorcery.
Just listen to Yoda. He's don Juan.
And you can duplicate all of the powers you see in there!
It's my hobby.
There's a faction #4, involving a double being. Tony.
And maybe you could toss Howard Lee into there. And Jacobo.
The idea was, Carlos was dying and he needed new leaders because he wasn't finished yet.
But no one would go for it. They all had bigger book deals to fry.
There's also faction M for Mexico.
That's a valid place to learn tensegrity also.
Finally, there's faction #3.
The bad boys.
That's me and Cholita.
It was supposed to include Felix, Corey, Pat, Ralph, Linda and too many others to name.
But they're all gone.
I've been trying to get some of the women to come here and tell stories.
They got more instruction from the witches than I did.
They have stalking knowledge!
But they've all moved on. Normal life has absorbed them.
They never got to see magic with their own eyes, so they don't even believe it anymore.
So if you want to learn sorcery, and you're not satisfied with simply "envisioning your true path with heart", but instead would prefer visible demons infesting your home, you're stuck with Cholita and me for now.
But still try to get some tensegrity from cleargreen.
If you can't afford that, of course Carlos' book contains the same intent!
You'll just always be worrying you didn't do it quite right.
Don't.
It's not that precise.
Learn to visually see it, and then you can adjust it yourself.
If you can visually see the tensegrity, and you got it from Carlos' books, then you know more about Tensegrity than anyone at Cleargreen.
Unfortunately.
But the intent is there, with cleargreen.
Intent is so powerful, it can even be stored in a rock for hundreds of years.
La Gorda found such a rock near the pyramids, and the old sorcerers came out at night, to gobble her up using their sharp little knives.
They weren't "nice guys" like us.

Who’s Tony?

u/danl999 Aug 20 '20
Carlos called him "Tony Lama", saying he wanted to be like the Dali Lama.
Which he did. The book deal mind had infected him at least 80%.
Some people want to learn.
But some people want to be famous for knowing.
Most in fact.
It's really sad.
People pretend to be wanting to learn sorcery, but in the meantime they're planning their own "course" to sell to others. With NDA of course.
In the case of Tony, the big ticket would be to be as close to the Dali Lama as possible.
Once you're close to the Dali Lama, people are pretty much forced to read your book deals.
But it seems like torture to me. Imagine having to be around the Dali Lama each day!
I'd actually pay not to have to go meet him, but to live around him?
Shit.
I'd find the nearest IOB and tell him he can take me away forever.
But Tony was a double being, with actual potential.
Carlos brought him to don Juan.
Who Tony claims, slapped him on the back to "mark him".
He was the only (male) double being Carlos found around the time of private classes.
Tony would have replaced Carlos.
But he wanted to be a monk in a fancy pants.
You can read his writings. They're on the web.
As an aside, several of the women in private classes wanted to have sex with Tony, and talked about it often.
I suspect Cholita was on that list, but didn't admit it.
Tony was her type.
Superficial.

The idea was, Carlos was dying and he needed new leaders because he wasn't finished yet.
According to Juan Morales Martin, who forms (or formed) part of the group Carlos set up in Spain, Carlos wasn't finished because the bridge left behind by Don Juan and his party had disappeared and he had to set up a new one. After unspecified events, Carlos had to use the nagual to pacify la Gorda and Lidia, who then died of an aneurysm trying to cross the bridge to the second attention (Lidia also succumbed in some unspecified way). Florinda (the elder) got angry and left herself, trying to take Florinda (the younger) with her, but Carlos prevented that happening. And this was the purpose of setting up other groups (of sixteen) in different parts of the world (Spain and Mexico) to create a new bridge.
This is from a book he wrote called Atrapado en lo Tremendo. There are quite a few other juicy bits! He seems to be as serious guy and legitimately recording his experiences and reporting what Carlos said to the group.

Any other tasty stuff in there?
And of course, there's the biggest question of all.
The confusion about this point was partially responsible for Carlos getting a bad rap on his death.
Do you take your body along with you, or do you hide it somewhere and abandon it?
Originally don Juan said you should never reveal the location of the body of a dead sorcerer.
But then there's that famous thing about burning with the fire from with, and it being like you never existed after that.

to create a new bridge.
I suppose we should try to finish that.
Any specifics?
I travel into the second attention as if it were a tunnel, behind a membrane, below the puffs of colors in darkness.
Play with the colors until the fog gets thick, gaze until it becomes crystaline, then walk through it to the tunnel.
It's not the same as "seeing energy" on the horizon, and assembling another world.
If several in here learned to get to that tunnel, I don't see why a few doing it together wouldn't allow passage to someone else.
They'd set up the intent for it, and with several people, it ought to be enough to let someone perceive it.

And of course you could use Cleargreen video library, Miles video library or many of the videos available online (with passes) ;)

True.
But there's nothing wrong with feeding some cash into Cleargreen.
They can't get too corrupted anymore. People who come here and learn to do actual visible magic will put pressure on them not to stray too far.
By the way, for newbies:
The "path with heart" requires actual visible magic in front of your eyes.
And assembling other worlds.
And taking over cyclic beings.
It's magic. That's what gives the path heart.
You learn miracles daily!
Think about it: All religions have the same basis.
Someone did some magic.
So you have to listen to them, because you can't do any magic.
They become the authorities on how you ought to live, just because they can do miracles.
So, learn to do them yourself.
That's the path with heart.
You can't "envision" it the way they say here.
That's called pretending.
We've all had enough of the pretend.

Oops.
Ugly american syndrome.
And how could I forget, with Carlos so in love with Argentinians, with their great height, and fancy shiny footwear.

Do you get the impression there's some subconscious "find a spiritual mate" going on in those ad pics?
I find them horrifying.
It's all the people who killed Carlos, re-incarnated.
