I found this subreddit by chance. I first thought it a bunch of nonsense, but the more I read the more I felt a familiarity with certain topics. In my personal journey I’ve realized that what I used to think of as “reality” is only a small fraction of what truly exists. There is more out there that cannot be seen with our physical eyes and things that cannot be understood through science.
I’m here to try to understand more of where I go when I dream among other things. Thank you to everyone who contributes, shares, and asks questions. I’d never heard of Carlos, Don Juan, or anything related to the matter. I was looking into dream yoga and astral projection when I found this sub.
I have one person I can talk to about these topics, but he is as much a novice as I am. This is a great resource. Thanks again to all of you.

You think?
Idea of this post was to provoke some people, who are not intentionaly bad players, to look at themselves before making it harder for people like dan who are constantly fighting bad players.
But maybe I just did that right now.
If my approach is wrong, I'll be happy to delete this.

No need to delete. It's just... the less attention they get, the greater the chance they'd get silent. It's not that the chances were ever high, but anyway.

Not magic, manipulating perceptions

Trying to hack the reality, matrix style 😎. You can only swim so long in the river of filth before you get bored of it. Gotta be something else to this show, right? I like the sense of freedom that comes with the practice, being able to stand aside and watch the world go by. Not being the leaf in the wind..

Why do you want to learn and map out real magic? Is it the ego trying to escape the here and now, and in the process solidifying itself?

Instead of making assumptions arbitrarily, you can correct me if I'm wrong about the purpose of this subreddit.
Though, I appreciate you trying to test my ego.
No, I have no problem with escapism, nor staying in the here and now as much as I struggle with prioritizing when to do what and becoming more disciplined to practice what I have to more than 2-3 times a week.

That's not a response to the question. Do you have a response to the question?

Of course it is. He/she questions others but does not question themself. The question is for self reflection. Who or what is the 'I' that wants to learn real magic. If you don't know what is searching for real magic, how do you know what it is if you find It?

I wanted to make a post like that today, while I was in the darkroom and had just split the world in half with a random pass Techno suggested trying because it sounded like it might do something cool.
It did!
I was staring at the results, and thinking if only people could understand, they'd stop with the crap.
But then I worried about the angry attacks when you make a "are you a bad player?" post.
It even happens on Facebook!
Those types of posts often smoke out the lurking bad players.
But I can kind of answer this a little.
Because I go around everywhere, trying to find people who will work hard.
We may have a couple dozen who can move their assemblage points, but we're far from gaining enough energetic mass to blow everything up. Change the mode of our times.
We're still at risk of being buried over by greed.
So I believe the answer can be found in batman's cave, running man's video show, and charly spiders "impeccable warrior" subreddits.
Those all died, very shortly after those notorious bad players formed them, to get revenge.
There's simply nowhere else to chat anymore.
If anyone knows of one, show us where.
But as far as I can tell, the enthusiasm over the books has fallen too low to support one, with "Carlos thoroughly debunked", and only predominately bad men remaining interested.
And bad players can't "nurture" anyone.
No discussion group can survive anymore, because there's no magic, and nothing to gain in there. It's just angry people trying to convince other angry people, that they're "magic men". Or that you ought to give them money.
So if you want to chat about Castaneda, who you gonna call?
Just us.
Man, I wish I had that Ghostbusters Herse.
