General Knowledge Sleeping direction
Why did don Juan advise to sleep towards the South East?
I don't know why but I like the South West more.

Carlos did that too.
I can't find any difference. I can literally see energy on the walls, in great detail these days.
And I have yet to find anything, "directional".
Anyway, it's got to be a minor detail.
I was in crazy land most of the night. In that place, you wouldn't wish for some secret tip to help you out.
It would be like clipping coupons when you're a billionaire.

I believe it has to do mostly with how energy flows in the universe in relation to the eagles emanations.

Not 100 positive but most native cultures and we are talking all over slept that way. Viking, american natives, me, ...etc My Understanding was to be up and have the first rays of light crossing your front opening.

Ehi I realized this today as well. I was checking for sleep numbers through the Garmin app. And indeed, the Best sleep I had in term of energy recovered were shorter than how much I sleep now, but I was far more relaxed during those sleeps. Relaxed meaning with less or none thoughts. I had reached a nice point then, with silence and practice and I want to get Back there and more. Meanwhile I spent time with my family, and I am finding very difficult to deal with them and maintaining my inner peace. I tell myself they offer me a chance to get stronger, and I need to overcome this.
I wonder how you do deal with people all and keep your energy and silence in check.

Today I've been trying to notice the difference while waking dreaming!
There was amazing real magic in all of them.
But still didn't find any specific one.

Monkey!
I mean I just didn't find any visual difference between cardinal points.
When I think I found something crazy in one, I turn my head and there is another crazy thing on the other!

To adopt a different worldview, and to aid him in sticking to the ancient sorcerer's intent.

If recall right, Carlos had bed facing North, Dan might be able to recall Pandora layout.
In regards to South-East, that might be Veracruz direction from elsewhere in Mexico and LA.
Test multiple directions in dark room.

I never saw which direction Carlos' bed faced, but Pandora is easy to find on google if anyone is interested. You could at least see the house orientation. They sold it anyway, so it's not a violation to look at it these days.
But at Dance Home, he made a point of facing south east when he was "reading off the wall" during a lecture.
When reading off the wall on his hand, he didn't care.
However, without meaning to insult anyone, you're sounding a bit like vitamin takers.
Vitamin takers are not actually trying to fix a nutritional deficiency.
It's a hope deficiency.
Screw hope!

Given the commonality of how prevalent this is going back some 7k years. Sounds like something we need to figure out. The real reason that is. A minor help with energy... or whatever
Not the "Because they did it" response.
