For don Juan, sorcery was the act of embodying some specialized theoretical and practical premises about the nature and role of perception in molding the universe around us. ~ Carlos Castaneda, The Art of Dreaming
Evolution begins with inner silence. When we take the time to sit in stillness and connect with the earth we begin to connect to the intricate energetic web of the universe of which we are all a part; of which we emerged! To evolve, one must have command over the totality of oneself. This means that you encounter power by removing yourself from the concerns of the “group mind” and replace them with decisions of power and strategies that bring you to awareness. It involves practicing silence to overcome the domestic condition of having membership in a social group and removing yourself as a hostage in another person’s inventory with an obligation to uphold an image before others. You are an autonomous, individual who has come to realize that your next step is to liberate and evolve your consciousness. If you choose not to, you may remain stuck within a loop of repeating patterns over and over again.
Those of you who place a higher value on your own perceptions than on the interpretations of others have access to more informational awareness that is interconnected with the true alignment of intent than the mostly faulty descriptions of reality that have been provided to you.
The only thing that prevents humans from evolving into states of consistent, heightened awareness and transcendence of human limitations is themselves. It is so easy to consistently fall back into the stories and patterns that one has been taught to perceive! The force behind collective coercion is so strong and yet, a warrior comes to recognize when they need to put everything on hold to connect once again with the deep universal awareness that they can collect and assemble from silent knowledge. If you are resonating with this you can now look deeply into the abyss in order to determine how to best become free from the paradigmatic structures that have successfully kept you bound to modalities that no longer serve you and ultimately prevent you from living your life in complete freedom; uncomplicated, joyful and beautiful freedom.
Your commitment to evolve must be to yourself, not to another. Once the decision has been made, you become excited with the possibility of recreating yourself and can fully immerse yourself in a state of constant creation and co-creation. The only “sustainable” creations are the ones within which the creators themselves are that very act of creation. Creation with conscious intent! It is at this juncture that one decides whether to find solace in the security of her routines or to jump into the abyss; the very act of committing to connect with the creative conscious awareness from which you emerged in the first place.
As you release your limiting beliefs, you begin to strengthen your energetic configuration. As you strengthen your energetic configuration, you begin to evolve. You become open with the opportunity to align with the pulse of the earth in balance with universal life force energies for your evolution. It is your destiny to evolve and in those moments of evolution you will come to know the Nagual itself.
We are perceivers. The world that we perceive, though, is an illusion. It was created by a description that was told to us since the moment we were born. ~ Don Juan, Tales of Power

Thanks for the compliment but it’s not “my” wisdom, it’s the knowing that has emerged to reveal itself from silent knowledge!

I am too scared to make the commitment to leave the safety/solace of routine.. and I cant for the life of me figure out why. the commitment I have made to truth has taken me sooo far.. and here I am now, stuck… but then, I am still recapitulating and meditating more often with the intention of connecting with oneness (or rather.. with acknowledging that the truth is all that’s really true).. so maybe I just need to.. be patient with the process?? trust in myself and source of all.. know that im choosing to still be stuck here, but trust that I wont keep choosing that.. recapitulate.. keep practising??

hmmmness… choosing to not move forward (yet 😉 ) certainly puts a different spin on it!
patience… I am less so, rather than more so, as I practise remembering that reality is different than that which I perceive… im finding myself feeling more and more violent, and I so rarely used to be.
before that gets out of hand, i know its time to choose my actions and not be ruled by my reactions.. yet I seem to be fighting that.. my impulses to .. indulge?? in the anger and pain seem to be harder and harder to resist.. do you have any insight what that might be about!!??
I do hear the very applicable practicality of your words already though.. little by little, patience.. and recall that I am able to see where im at from a different perspective.. that I can see could actually change the whole energy of nowness!
thank you.. for being applicable to now.. whether I act on it or not 😉

Hannah, you said: the anger and pain seem to be harder and harder to resist.. do you have any insight what that might be about!!??
This is the predator; anger and pain are its favorite food. People misunderstand the predator and think of it as a “bad moment”, or “an evil spirit”, or “trauma” that occurred and that once recapitulated is gone forever. This is not so. The predator is an undercurrent of energy that flows prevalently or subtly through everyone. Don Juan said often that for a warrior, every moment is a battle. This is true and at times the force of the battle diminishes. But the predator is always there. It’s disgusting and it has a lot of power. Our goal as warriors is to restore our personal power to the point that we are impenetrable and impeccable with our energy, then it can no longer touch us, even though we are constantly observing and witnessing it almost everywhere we look.
Someone recently suggested that I write more about becoming free from the predator. Perhaps that time is now. 🙂

im not sure what its about. no big trauma, just lots of ‘small’ things, discontent.. disappointment at myself for not being impeccable. for being judgemental and forceful in an overpowering to others way. for being reactive to emotions, not choosing my responses from a more.. knowing space. ive been on a recovery journey from totally losing the plot, its been about 10 years. the last couple of years especially I have felt like the illusions of this existence have been becoming clearer, ive been experiencing strong syncronistic .. experiences, in the most bizarre ways.. like whatever it is, that ‘voice for truth’ that speaks with us can use the world like its plasticine to communicate with us. the complete malleability of time and space for the messages to be delivered in the way they have has just blown me away.. and I am just one tiny aspect that is being taught.. how amazing when you step back and look at the fact that im only one small cog.. that communication of truth, being led through illusions, is happening all the time.. the mind-blowing power (and i must say, love) of truth (whatever that may be!!) and the non-reality of this place I guess is the bottom line of what ive been learning.. and yet.. im still so stuck in the.. reacting to all this world, people, in the same old ways.. and like I said, more and more of the violent, destructive, and yes, disgusting is a good word.. unkind power drainer.. almost like.. a vampire on other people, very controlling ways.
I would love to read more about becoming free from this.. like I said in response to your last reply.. practical tools to help feel needed.. cos I am getting harder and harder on myself, cos it feels like the knowledge should be enough.. that remembering that this isn’t our reality, and stopping to ground myself in that, and to recapitulate the energy given to the old ways of seeing, should be enough.. theres the self pity! it should be enough, dammit! 😉

well laugh.. where I was speaking of what feels to me like the big need for practical tools.. it reads as my wanting to feel needed.
and I have to say.. that ties in with messages that have been bombarding me around neediness.. needing things, myself situations, people to be a certain way for me to be ok.. as well as simply wanting to be needed by others. this is making me very uncomfortable, embarrassed.. but I have a feeling its a big key to freedom. im also embarrassed at my self importance.. but there it is!
