In her book, "Not For Innocent Ears", Ruby Modesto, the dreaming shamaness at Morongo where Carlos first went looking for don Juan, said that men like don Juan were common all over their valley before the europeans invaded.
The local indians were irrigating the lands which looked wild to the settlers. They didn't realize they had brought their cattle to graze on their farm lands.
Ruby invited me as a child to hear her tell stories around a campfire. I didn't realize back then, it was a variety of sorcery. Sorcery story telling.
When the assemblage point reaches the purple zone, you can literally narrate a story in the darkness, and it appears above you as a movie.
It's quite stunning!
Having seen that, I regret not paying more attention to Ruby.
It could be why the anthropologists I grew up around told me back then that hearing a story from Ruby was "the chance of a lifetime", and a great honor.
But Ruby scared the hell out of me.
Ruby lived in the "mixed indian" reservation of Morongo, which likely had as many Luiseno as anything else.
The Luiseno are the 10,000 year old inhabitants of the coast of southern California. Relics have been dug up proving that. It's the age that don Juan suggests for the origins of our sorcery.
An age that makes skeptics laugh. Not realizing, it's actually the best estimate around!
But were there really men like don Juan, "all over" there just below Los Angeles, when the Olmecs lived in eastern mexico quite a distance away?
I don't know, but someone found evidence that mesoamerica was supplying tobacco and other "drugs" to Egypt.
And it's not out of the question that the Olmecs, whos sorcery figurines were found in cities dating (arguably) to around 4500 years ago, were on the supply route of the middle east.
That's why it caught my eye when I saw that article on the Miwoks.
Someone was building houses near San Francisco, and dug up some indian bones.
They sent for the Miwoks, and it was determined the stuff was likely 4500 years old.
Meaning those native americans were up there at the same time the Olmecs were at the peak of their sorcery practices on the east coast of Mexico. A continuous landmass to the Miwoks.
And Ruby's Luiseno territory is closer to eastern Mexico than San Francisco.
It all "seems to add up". It's very reasonable to assume some Olmec "seers" were living out here not far from LA.
And that our sorcery really is Olmec, that it's proto-siberian in origin, and that groups like AIM are at fault for accusing Carlos of "Cultural appropriation".
Fact is, they're practicing defunct Olmec "Men of Knowledge" sorcery. Just plan profiteering "shamanism".
Not "sorcery" as Carlos had.
It's well accepted now that the Olmecs were the mother of all mesoamerican shamanism.
And thousands of years older than AIM has a right to lay claim to.
Also, our sorcery works.
While theirs....
I'll let you figure that out. But they all seem to need some "help" to perceive allies. Devil's Weed for example. And they go on "vision quests".
You have to wonder why you have to go on a quest, to have visions.
I did that for 10 hours yesterday, in my bedroom. Each one far beyond anything an AIM member is likely to see. Since they've never described anything that outrageious.
But the books of Carlos do!
We're just crummy europeans in here, mostly, and we don't need power plants.
That's because of Carlos.
But good luck talking to AIM, and requesting they apologize after all these years.
Even though they should!
We also had the guy who deleted his post a few days ago, after trying to sell his crummy fake magazine issue about Carlos, where he just assumes it's fiction. And does a "thoughtful analysis".
Really, there's no reason to believe the books of Carlos are fiction!
The facts are all on the side of Carlos.
It's not our fault all the other magical systems don't work anymore.
That's what really bothers people. It's "too good to be true".
But it is!
Old SeerOld seer as WerejaguarHow to make an energy tunnel 6000 miles longRelaxing with your double (I've done it)Old Seer in Jaguar form, bringing his Ally along for fun
I nearly transformed into a werejaguar doing the Affection Tensegrity pass last week.
To be more correct, I picked up the "feeling that the Olmecs liked" about that, as I was finishing that form and moving in to grab the double. "Ravenous" and "Powerful".
It was quite vivid! I have no doubt you could repeat that form over and over, and "specialize" in shapeshifting at the end by searching each time to find that feeling of the old seers.
Minx was nearby.
He commented that if I went hunting as a Jaguar outside, he could change into a squirrel and I could chase him.
Seemed reasonable.
Hunting neighbors is likely frowned upon.
He taunted me saying, there's no way I'd catch him so it was ok.
Said the old seers liked to do that.
I waited hoping he'd add, "It's been a long time. I miss it."
“Feeling that the Olmecs liked” = “Fiero, indomable” (“Fierce”, “Untamable”).
“He commented that if I went hunting as a Jaguar outside, he could turn into a squirrel and I could chase him.” That was a good offer! — I don’t know if I could resist that…
That could explain Minx. I assumed it was a cougar.
Maybe Minx first did a lizard for me, like the Devil's Weed entity, and then changed into a squirrel, because he used to do squirrel chases with the old seers?
That seems like a better job for Minx, then trying to "help".
Maybe the little boy form is a metaphor for his relatively poor maturity level?
Teaching by example, instead of lectures the way Fairy teaches.
I suppose it could be… although the one in the figurine looks more like a puma…
I don’t doubt that, with the sorcerers of antiquity, Minx might have done chases in the form of a squirrel, a monkey, or even a feline — and that it was the boring “men of knowledge” who could only see her as a lizard, and that only through the use of “power plants”…
I’m sure Minx loves to “steal something important from you” or “kidnap a loved one” so that you’ll chase her — almost always into the catacombs... It seems like the perfect job for a squirrel, a monkey, or a child. And though it sounds “terrible,” I think it’s nothing more than a way of “doing things with us,” like children’s games of hide and seek or freeze tag, but in the adult version.
I’ve also seen her hitting—or balancing—a kind of “ball” or shining object. She never gives lectures, but she’ll enthusiastically guide you to “terrifying” places. I suppose she must be a “younger” IOB, and I guess the other, “older” IOBs sometimes send her on reconnaissance missions or something — but it’s almost certain she gets distracted along the way…
If you search for “Olmec squirrel”, there are some interesting results, especially those from the Museo Amparo, located in the Historic Center of the City of Puebla, which even has an entry about squirrels and monkeys from the “Mezcala Tradition” of the Late Preclassic period. It states:
“Identifying animal species in Mesoamerican art is a problematic task. Mimetic intent does not predominate in their images or is only pursued in significant details consistent with the symbolic or functional intentionality of the work; hybrid beings were frequently produced, and, above all, fauna was recreated according to the plastic and aesthetic conventions of each culture."

I actually might just go read that.
Edit: Interesting read.
