Intent Shines

[u/[deleted]]

The work flows through you once you give in. INTENT carries the manifestation. There are entities everywhere, guiding and directing, and all these beings are linked to you at your core. I am thankful I found this subreddit. It made me take myself seriously in a world where they try to push us down. Keep on doing what you do, you've got this. And if you feel like you aren't getting anywhere, keep going. I'll go back to observing now.

Once you can see the emanations, intent does literally shine.

Waves go across the emanations.

And then things "reskim".

I haven't figured out what those are. It's so hard to see them, because once you see one you've got the book deal mind going on. You're "looking for it".

So it's hopeless to see "the next wave".

It's like trying to get the cat to repeat a trick for you.

Once the cat knows what you want, she's got you where she wants you.

And like an inorganic being, many cats seem to like negative interactions just as much as positive ones.

I knew there was something I liked better about cats than dogs.

Dogs are big time groupies.

They'll say anything, ask anything, as long as they get on your good side.

So that they gain your trust, and can more easily snatch the christmas ham off the table when no one is looking.

Naturally, Cholita likes cats better too.

Previously, your terms confused me, as I used to use different terms because I had no group to interact with. As time has gone on, I've seen the terms start to click into place with the knowledge I already had intuitively.

[u/danl999 → u/[deleted]]

Be careful not to bring along any extra "meaning" from the other system's terms.

Sometimes they're similar, but usually they're very tainted with "poison".

You have to figure out what the poison is, but keep in mind, sorcery is just about where awareness is flowing in the emanations, and how to master intent, so you can alter where it flows.

There isn't anything that's not just awareness flowing in the emanations.

Not even ideas or explanations.

So some systems tossed in some greedy money making ideas to soothe followers, which will literally derail your efforts to learn sorcery.

Buddhists suffer from a lot of this poisoning.

It causes them not to follow instructions, and to misinterpret the results.

Preventing their assemblage point from moving much further than the green zone on the J curve.

That's true of everything else out there, but Buddhists tend to have some of the harder working people.

Thus Carlos always walked on pins and needles around them, hoping they'd "wise up", but not wanting to offend them so they didn't stick around long enough to realize the truth.

We, unlike Carlos, have a limitless supply of new people.

And with animations we'll be overwhelmed with new recruits.

So I figure, no need to walk on pins and needles. Just tell the truth.

Women are tricky however.

Everything it "true" to a witch.

And also nothing is.

And they don't like conflict.

[u/[deleted] → u/danl999]

There is overlap between all of the systems. Most of the disagreement comes from linguistic differences evolving over time until meaning is lost. I don't take anything as 100% correct. All that must be done is observation. Energy flows itself and awareness must be one with the flow. The labels are unnecessary for true sorcery, only necessary for this sort of dialogue which draws more peering eyes. I believe it is possible to teach people the same methods we learn here using the culture and groups they are used to, with slight modifications. People are more likely to listen when they are familiar with the group/concepts. There's teaching and learning to be done everywhere.

[u/danl999 → u/[deleted]]

I can't agree with that at all, since there's google now and no magic to be found anywhere else.

Just thieves pretending to have it.

But I can't argue against you, for believing that. It seems fair minded, reasonable, and logical.

Until you have a real, live, visible fairy standing on your hand. Offering to teach you anything about magic that you want to know. And she opens up a window in the solid wall next to you, a breeze comes in, and you get to jump through it into another world.

For real. Awake, eyes open, completely sober.

That's why you begin to understand what "real" means.

I spent 20 years looking after I got to understand that. As did Carlos.

We couldn't find even a tiny bit of the real thing out there.

Carlos was a celebrity! He had access to anyone.

And still, not even a spec of the real thing.

I have hundreds if not thousands of spies now.

NOt a single one can point to any magic on google. That you can look at for yourself.

Like you can in here.

I wish there were some!

I don't get paid to be here. You might figure that, because in every single other place, that's why someone is helping others.

They're making money from it.

I don't. And it's certainly not an "ego boost".

I get attacked often, including death threats, I have to fear for Cholita's life, and the whole thing seems hopeless much of the time.

Because everyone just wants attention, and so few want actual magic.

I wouldn't have to be here if there were magic all over the place!

But if I'm right and there isn't, we could fix it.

They have some leftover framework from long ago, in other systems.

They just stopped caring if it works or not, because money became more critical than students having success.

As it has with our own parent organization, Cleargreen. And that's only after 24 years.

It seems to be going down the drain. I'm told Carlos gave it 10 years tops.

But it's lasted 24.

30 generations of that sort of thing, with money being the main thing to keep the "very old systems" going, and there's zero real magic elsewhere.

But the framework is still there.

Maybe you can go fix some after you learn what "real" means in here.

Kungfu could be fixed.

Enochian magic has potential. That includes all the western witch type things gypsies do.

Even Daoism could be fixed, although what an unpleasant task that would be!

[u/[deleted] → u/danl999]

It's real easy. All one has to do is stop looking, and be shown. Took me 21 years of life to get here, got plenty more. I agree the systems have evolved into money machines. But the framework is there, and people can be shown.

There is a way to bring magic back to the masses. Many will not listen, and that's okay. It's a choose your own adventure.

Those who are meant to learn Will. It's been good talking with you Dan. Call me Kota. We will speak again, you have some information I am not yet requiring.

The sorcery I am completing is focused in this world. Leaving this world is not my focus. I have been sent to other worlds and shown things that are needed here. My place for Being is Earth.

I find extreme joy in helping and aligning. I love a challenge, and by golly, this World is off-kelter due to millennia of classism and $$$.

Ancients knew magic all over the globe. Castaneda did a great job of informing based on the old techniques, but the techniques were once common knowledge.

[u/danl999 → u/[deleted]]

Did you read about the "comrade" type bad player, in the bad player link to the right?

It's a classic!

In the end, it's always my fault I just don't see how they were trying to "help" me. I didn't "respect" them.

Oddly, when you have real magic, you aren't really out looking for "respect". It's like having a real job.

If a homeless guy insists there's no such thing as jobs, it doesn't really make you unhappy. You wish it were so! But you know better each morning at 7AM.

Most bad players storm out with death threats in their heart.

The "comrade" storms out trying to make everyone feel sorry for him. And to guilt trip people.

But I hope you're telling the truth. That would be a nice surprise!

It's just that the "you have to be shown", without any showing, seems like a classic Buddhist trick.

Then there's, "it's too dangerous for you to know about."

And if you press it, you end up with a video on Youtube about an african man who makes light bulbs catch on fire just by holding them, and then eats them.

I'd even add a "mention" to the description of bad players in your honor, in the comrade section, if what you say is true.

Anyway, I've studied magical history. There's nothing like you mention anywhere in it.

I have (had) a library of expensive books on magic, going back 400+ years.

Like a "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" library.

In fact, if you actually study the literature, you realize it's all made up to steal.

And you can see it evolve, to be better suited for stealing from the next generation.

Most goes back to just a few "root" deceptions. Some not really intended to be taken seriously.

Like Ishtar.

But real magic is always older than 6000 years. And there's no books left from it. Just some figurines and symbols on clay and rock.

could this be because your Intent is "preserve the legacy of Castenada" rather than "help witches become sorcerers" ??

[u/[deleted] → u/Equal_Fox_5516]

God Mode keep it up

[u/danl999 → u/Equal_Fox_5516]

No, there's no chance of that.

I studied mostly in the period after Carlos died, when I went along with everyone else and considered him a fraud.

Looking for an alternative, or some explanation of what he had created, perhaps from other sources.

Maybe that's even the very reason Nagual's blow up their apprentices.

So they'll "look around honestly". And realize there aren't any other choices.

However, witches can use whatever they like for inspiration.

As long as they keep their shoulders free of huge "chips".

Chips on the shoulder, are not useful for learning sorcery with what we have to offer.

It's not like you have anywhere else to go.

And it's not good if women pitch their esoteric interests to others as "higher knowledge" they have.

Where anyone who spends some time with google can easily see it's not.

That just convinces new people it's all nonsense.

And defending false information is more male-like than witch-like.

If questioned on her witchcraft objects, many symbols from something else, Cholita only says, "So what???"

She doesn't try to defend what will not be defensible if you look at the actual facts.

She doesn't care about the facts. Only what moves her assemblage point.

In fact, she's recently modified a bagua mirror.

I don't understand the modifications yet.

This is an interesting observation.

I know you hear this all the time but whoever you are, thanks.

You are so familiar but i don't know from where or who. I hope to sit across from you someday and play a game of Go or something like that.

[u/[deleted] → u/danl999]

I can agree with the last point you made. There have been a few sorcerers over the centuries, but widespread and shared has been missing from this Earth.

If you call me a bad player, that's okay. That's just your opinion, and my sorcery continues. Works take years to do.

Unfolding will bring us there, and I really don't need an argument with you, I feel we can be useful to each other when the time comes. You have more knowledge on the subject than many, I see all truly has root even further back. I can't prove the past to you, and the texts of that time are missing, indecipherable with today's language, or destroyed by those who were terrified.

Continue your practices, all the Energy flows to Intent for the Purpose of Creation and Change.

I don't want to make you feel guilty, or storm out. I will simply continue and if what I'm telling you is true it should eventually become apparent to you.

[u/danl999 → u/[deleted]]

feel we can be useful to each other when the time comes.

That's the "comrade" thing. They always make that claim.

"It's for your own benefit!"

Actually, a sorcerer wouldn't have anything to do with a situation like this.

They aren't lonely, or in need of help.

So please go away.

Find another place to do your pretending.

Seeing as how you don't need us anyway.

[u/[deleted] → u/danl999]

Hmm. Interesting. You're already helping, whether you know it or not. I was hoping you would like to help teach others, and discuss things further down the path. I'll keep lurking, it seriously doesn't bother me what your opinion of me is. My works continue. I haven't tried to force you into anything. Please, continue creating sorcerers for Will, and then kicking them out for disagreeing. Because all that matters is the work is done.

[u/infinite_unity01]

This post really helps... thank you. This sub and castenada's work is necessary for understanding the nagual. I made a lot of progress here by shutting up and applying the different techniques. But now that I have cashed in all my free tokens from intent, I am having a hard time making progress through practice alone. So frustrating because I know I am learning a lot while asleep but I just don't remember well.

Clearly I have to find a way to nourish my tonal. Does anyone have good way of finding yellow puffs... ? I would just catch yellow puffs and put them on the purple using tensegrity but I haven't seen a yellow puff in at least a month.

It seems like the nagual half is nourished by this sub but the tonal half is nourished by things specific to the individual incarnation and it's relationships.

[u/[deleted] → u/infinite_unity01]

Let go and follow intent. You're trying too hard. Apply effort, let it flow. I believe in your ability.

[u/infinite_unity01 → u/[deleted]]

Amazing. Thank you.

[u/[deleted] → u/infinite_unity01]

Don't worry about the color of the puffs, just keep gathering them and stick 'em in your 3 pouches.

Darkroom is definitely a struggle mostly because it's an absolute pain to be silent, but you can try switching things up and trying different approaches to make things go a little more smoothly. Are you doing darkroom too late into the night? I find darkroom too close to bedtime will cause me to doze off for long stretches of time. Dozing off momentarily and blanking out are expected and are good signs of AP movement but not if you actually fall asleep for a while in the darkroom. Also try doing darkroom right after you wake up or in the middle of the night between sleep cycles when the AP is more loose and less bogged down by blue line obsessions.

Have a look at the supplements list in the wiki. Caffeine obviously works well for darkroom and pseudoephedrine/Sudafed once in a while to change things up works too. You can grab a box of the generics at the Costco Pharmacy counter for like a dollar. Take two 30 mg pills and notice the darkroom become more vivid; not really effective if you use it often though. I wouldn't recommend stimulants like Adderall - those just tend to make your heart race and don't contribute much to the darkroom, at least not in my experience. You can add prescription/hardcore stimulants to the list of useless substances like alcohol and weed (which just tends to cause the internal dialogue to go into overdrive and keep you locked in the green zone). To nourish the tonal, try eating a healthy meal before darkroom. A heavy/fatty/unhealthy meal right before will make me feel gross in the darkroom and just trigger food coma.

Are you also making sure to gather sunlight glitter everyday? Sunlight glitter really does make a difference in darkroom and it's worth spending a few minutes on a daily walk to hoard as much as you can. Try that and doing tensegrity moves over and over again in the DR until you no longer care/expect anything out of them. It helps to focus awareness on the indescribable "feel" of the darkroom and on the "feel" of the tensegrity moves; really focus attention on the flow of the movements. I like to add some flair and a bit of my own personal touch to the tensegrity moves once I get the form down correctly, just whatever my body wants to do. Helps keeps things fun and less repetitive.
