abandoned power place

Places of Power u/Financial-Ad6596 2023-01-25 15:07 UTC 12 points

Some time ago I decided to visit an abandoned village from the 50's, this particular village was abandoned for the safety of the inhabitants from old earthquakes that threatened their lives (so it is assumed by most), the reason I decided to visit and explore it was the other side of the coin that was stories about haunted place.After I visited the village and started exploring it passing through many paths that others had made before me I arrived at a point near the center of the village, following a certain path almost hidden by the vegetation and tree branches I reached a small spot, when I arrived I felt a numbness as if something was keeping me frozen in place and an inexplicable fear to put me in a "run away or die" point understanding that my mood could not have changed so suddenly I concluded that this particular point is a place of power.However, the internal dialogue had diminished dramatically and I could tell that my perception had merged with the silence of the place.I am writing the details here for anyone who is interested:
Village name : Ladiko
Country Greece
Western Peloponnese

I don't know if this kind of post is allowed here, so if it is not allowed, it should be deleted I could not upload the photos along with the text, anyone interested can send me a message

I'll have to add that to our table:

https://www.reddit.com/r/castaneda/wiki/places_of_power

COVID-19 has definitely reduced people's traveling, and thus we've not mapped out that many new spots.

I would add Marcahuasi, Peru to that wiki.

OP, you can include one image per comment now natively in Reddit, without needing an external image hoster.

Thanks for posting this. I am Greek and I will go and explore this place one day. Have you been to polylimnio waterfalls that are also on west Peloponnese? After maybe 10 minutes of swimming on the cold waters I felt that I needed immediately to sleep and I did so there. I have never felt in my life this thing where I need to find a spot to sleep immediately before I shut down.

As far as I remember, correct me if I'm wrong, Don Juan told that the place where you feel sleepy it's a beneficial power spot so I recommend this place as a power spot too.

I kind of like the old city down near the Salton Sea.

Abandoned now, but I keep ending up there in lucid dreaming thinking it has some relationship to don Juan's lineage.

Salton Sea.

Any specifics as to a more localized area? There are multiple cites listed in that county:

https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Salton_City,_California

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salton_Sea:

" The Salton Sea had some success as a resort area, with Salton City, Salton Sea Beach, and Desert Shores, on the western shore and Desert Beach, North Shore, and Bombay Beach, built on the eastern shore in the 1950s. ... Some people are visiting the Salton Sea and the surrounding settlements to explore the abandoned structures and see the squatter settlement of Slab City. The town of Niland is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) southeast of the sea..."

I want to add it to the Power Places chart.

There's something there, but I only see it in dreaming.

The Sorcery Lineage of Don Juan Matus & Carlos Castaneda

The purpose of this subreddit is to aid in the pragmatic application of the works of Carlos Castaneda, Florinda Donner, Taisha Abelar, & Carol Tiggs to how we experience existence. Core topics include: sorcery (a.k.a. the mastery of intent), awareness, & non-ordinary reality (magic). Here, you can: learn ABOUT sorcery, what has and has not worked over thousands of years, decide to empirically embark on your own "definitive journey," and altruistically document your challenges and discoveries.

r/castaneda Rules

Accounts newer than 10 days old cannot comment, and must reach 21 days before posting is allowed.

4 commenting upvotes (in any subreddit) are also required in order to post after those 21 days.
Do your best to tag new posts with a relevant Flair category. Otherwise, select General Knowledge.
Please be familiar with the terminology used in here before posting. See the Wiki's Terminology page

Astral Projection is the most problematic term, along with OBE. Please use Dreaming Double, or Dreaming Body instead.
Any post that diverts away from the implied purpose of this sub, will be marked SPOILER or removed.

The stated purpose of this subreddit is to aid in restoring the reputation of Carlos Castaneda and the knowledge he imparted, by pragmatically applying that knowledge IN PRACTICE. This means that we are sticking to what really works, as proven by direct experience by long-practicing members.
No low effort posting, pretending, or wasting people's time.

Especially problematic posts, ex. questions that could be answered by either practicing or by reading more posts or from the books, will be removed and users who make similar repeated posts will be banned for a minimum of 3 months. Pretend sorcery which does not emphasize silence, and is based only on thinking and mood, will not be tolerated.
Self-centered promotion, jockeying for a "top-dog" position, & grandstanding are bannable behaviors.

Persons promoting behavior over effort to get silent and the necessity to move the assemblage point, and who won't give up that activity, are likely to be banned for a minimum of ONE YEAR.
Those being overly disruptive will be temporarily or permanently banned, at the mods discretion.

This is a blanket rule, meant to give mods a more broadly applicable option for a ban or content removal. Banned users still have access to the subreddit, wiki, and all its resources (except the group chat).
Please report content in violation of any of this subreddit's rules to the mods to be evaluated.

This will make it publicly unviewable until it can be assessed.
