Without mastery of the dream world, there could not be mastery of the physical world. Nearly all of Castaneda’s training was focused on gaining mastery of the dream world, or the “second attention” as Don Juan called it. It is assumed that the second attention is a synonym for our intuitive faculties. Our waking state is the first attention. Mastery of the second attention or intuitive faculties was the principal pursuit of the shaman and the source of his knowledge and ability to be used in service to his people. The sorcerer, on the other hand, is one who works to attain the same mastery, but only to serve the self and the pursuit of power and control over others. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness395 views0 answers0 votesCastaneda wrote: “The power that governs the destiny of all living beings is called the Eagle … The Eagle is devouring the awareness of all the creatures that, alive on Earth a moment before and now dead, have floated to the Eagle’s beak, like a ceaseless swarm of fireflies, to meet their owner, their reason for having had life … for awareness is the Eagle’s food.” This seems like an incomplete description of the Creator of All That Is. Accurate to a point, but missing the quality of love, and the desire on the part of Creator for partnership with his creations. This is further reflected in this passage: “The Eagle, that power that governs the destinies of all living things, reflects equally at once all those living things. There is no way, therefore, for man to pray to the Eagle, to ask favors, to hope for grace. The human part of the Eagle is too insignificant to move the whole.” As powerful as he was, was Don Juan missing the forest for the trees? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness416 views0 answers0 votesCastaneda wrote: Don Juan “said that there is nothing more dangerous than the evil fixation of the second attention (or evil mastery of the intuitive faculties). When warriors (or seekers/seers or shaman/sorcerers) learn to focus on the weak side of the second attention nothing can stand in their way. They become hunters of men, ghouls. Even if they are no longer alive, they can reach for their prey through time as if they were present here and now.” How big is the problem of dead evil sorcerers? Are these some of the human hybrid spirits that seem to have partnered with the fallen angelics? If they were particularly adept sorcerers when alive, might their powers even exceed that of some of the fallen angelics, similar in the way that Anunnaki spirits manage to control and repurpose the fallen angelics for evil aims?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness436 views0 answers0 votesCastaneda wrote: “… all archaeological ruins in Mexico, especially the pyramids, were harmful to modern man. He (Don Juan) depicted the pyramids as foreign expressions of thought and action. He said that every item, every design in them, was a calculated effort to record aspects of attention that were totally alien to us. For Don Juan, it was not only ruins of past cultures that held a dangerous element in them, anything which was the object of an obsessive concern had a harmful potential.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness481 views0 answers0 votesCastaneda wrote: “Your compulsion to possess and hold on to things is not unique, he (Don Juan) said. ‘Everyone who wants to follow the warrior’s path, the sorcerer’s way, has to rid himself of this fixation.’ My benefactor told me that there was a time when warriors did have material objects on which they placed their obsession. And that gave rise to the question of whose object would be more powerful, or the most powerful of them all. Remnants of those objects still remain in the world, the leftovers of that race for power.” For a tourist to pick up such an object found in ancient ruins and take it home, can be dangerous in the extreme.

What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness459 views0 answers0 votesCreator has said repeatedly, that life force energy flows from the divine realm to keep all of us alive at a bare minimum. Castaneda wrote that “Life force flows to us from the south, and leaves us flowing to the north.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness445 views0 answers0 votesIt’s clear that the path of the shaman, as described by Castaneda, is a quite foreign, potentially dangerous spiritual pursuit not supported by or even compatible with modern life. Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer Work and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are the safer and easier way to eventually achieve the same goals pursued by the shamanic seers of indigenous peoples? Will a more modern, easier, and safer shamanism path emerge after the interlopers have left, and before ascension of humanity, assuming we get there?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness527 views0 answers0 votesToday’s questions for Creator were taken from Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl’s transcendent account of his time in a Nazi concentration camp, his book, Man’s Search for Meaning. Frankl was already a successful psychiatrist when he entered the camps as a captured Jew. He was to later learn that his entire family died in the camps and he emerged the sole survivor. He endured great suffering. But while it’s safe to assume that he was resolving personal karma through this incredible trial and travail, he also approached the experience as an opportunity, a “divine mission” to put it plainly. To study evil up close and personal, to learn all he could, and to try and find a means by which it might be conquered. What is Creator’s perspective and what was the mix of karma and mission life that Frankl navigated?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Metaphysics562 views0 answers0 votesFrankl, in recounting his experience of being reduced to a possession-less slave in the concentration camp wrote: “A thought transfixed me: For the first time in my life I saw the truth … The truth that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love. I understood how a man who has nothing left in this world still may know bliss, be it only for a brief moment, in the contemplation of his beloved … For the first time in my life I was able to understand the meaning of the words, ‘The angels are lost in the perpetual contemplation of an infinite glory.'” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Metaphysics445 views0 answers0 votesFrankl wrote: “My mind still clung to the image of my wife. A thought crossed my mind: I didn’t even know if she was still alive. I knew only one thing – which I have learned well by now: Love goes very far beyond the physical person of the beloved. It finds its deepest meaning in his spiritual being, his inner self. Whether or not he is actually present, whether or not he is still alive at all, ceases somehow to be of importance … ‘Set me like a seal upon thy heart, love is as strong as death.'” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Metaphysics474 views0 answers0 votesFrankl wrote: “We who lived in the concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: The last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Metaphysics449 views0 answers0 votesFrankl wrote: “In the final analysis it becomes clear that the sort of person the prisoner became was the result of an inner decision and not the result of camp influences alone.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Metaphysics422 views0 answers0 votesFrankl wrote: “… people forget that often it is just such an exceptionally difficult external situation which gives man the opportunity to grow spiritually, beyond himself. Instead of taking the camp’s difficulties as a test of their inner strength, they did not take their life seriously and despised it as something of no consequence.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Metaphysics451 views0 answers0 votesFrankl wrote: “… suffering is not always a pathological phenomenon; rather than being a symptom of neurosis, suffering may well be a human achievement, especially if the suffering grows out of existential frustration.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Metaphysics469 views0 answers0 votes
