A Few Questions

Over the past month or so since I discovered it, I've been reading around in the sub at every opportunity. But I haven't yet come across (or forgot, or glossed maybe, not sure) the answers to a few questions.

The answers may be in the books, all of which I read years ago, but I haven't been able to obtain and read them all over again yet.

So, could I ask the following please, (if anyone knows):

1) Is there a way to figure out if you're the product of a Bored Fuck? Any general defining attributes or hints or what-have-you?

2) Similarly, is there a way to tell what kind of witch you might be? (i.e. Northerly, Westerly, etc)

3) From here

AFFECTION FOR THE ENERGY BODY

Perform; "Awakening the centre of feeling" (from the first video), then: The right hand is still on top of the left hand at pancreatic level after the final strike of the above move (from the first video);

Would anyone have a link to this Awakening the Centre of Feeling pass mentioned here? To any written description or to the video mentioned? My searches in the sub and online have returned nothing.

Affection for the Energy Body is so lovely! There's just something about that one, it's easily my favourite so far. It may not be strictly necessary but I'd like to incorporate the above-mentioned Awakening the Centre of Feeling pass if possible.

Thank you kindly for any help.

I’d like to answer your other questions but I’m on my phone so I can’t really type much.

So regarding #3, that pass is actually in the second video, not the first (tensegrity video volume 2). And it’s the first part of the affection for the energy body pass. So if you follow the affection pass video you’ll already be doing that other pass.

That's right!

It's good to watch it in volume 2 because you can see the details, in addition to the transcribed commentary that Techno posted.

Transcript - Carlos Castaneda's Tensegrity - Volume Two: Redistributing Dispersed Energy

Sorcery Pass #5 -- Awakening The Center Of Feeling.

The seers idea that sustains our particular series of magical passes, is that through the effects of daily life, our internal energy which is amassed around the area of the kidneys and adrenals is dispersed to the periphery of our luminous spheres. This dispersion does not mean in any way a loss of energy, but rather a loss of our facility to gain access to it. The Fifth magical pass, "Awakening the center of feeling" has to do with the deliberate calling of the dispersed energy on the periphery of the luminous sphere in order to bring it to a specific center of feeling. A center located on the left side, right above the edge of the rib cage at the height of the upper tip of the pancreas and spleen. A spot which seers believe is the epicenter of feelings. With this movement we are preparing the bond of indisputable affection that must exist between the body that we know and the energy body that we don't know but which every one of us intuits.

In our fifth magical pass, we keep the knees slightly bent in order to allow the body stability. The hands join in a forceful yet very controlled movement. They come together and pierce the dispersed energy accumulated right in front of us. They rip it upwards and they turn it clockwise to stir it. The hands come down to the midsection to the stomach level then they are turned over with the right hand on the top. They cut upwards in a ripping movement and then they are brought to the area of the pancreas and spleen. From there, the hands push out to the sides and they rip what seers consider to be the heaviest concentration of dispersed energy, the energy that accumulates next to the left and right sides of the body. Seers refer to that concentration as columns of wasted energy that give the impression of the dried up drippings of gigantic candles. The hands are brought again to the center of the body. They rip upwards, they stir the energy once again in a clockwise direction and are brought once more to the pancreas and spleen areas and then they are projected out to the front of the body.

(the issue was the spelling "centre" and not "center," and that they got the Volume # wrong)

Hi! I asked the same question about direction in chat a while ago, here's what I was told.

The Text of this:

How do I determine my direction as a woman? I've just gotten through the part of Eagles Gift where Don Juan depicts the characteristics of each one but I have characteristics of all of them. I ask bc I was encouraged to choose which tensegrity forms to focus on based on my direction....

It's very problematic to try to determine one's direction because it's challenging, to say the least, to look at ourselves with complete enough detachment.

It's why horoscopes persistent in society; because anybody can read into them enough to see themselves in the fortune telling.

And also to see themselves in each and every one of the descriptions of the directions/types.

The senior members of the lineage would just *see* the apprentice, energetically.

That's probably only possible in advanced silent knowledge. To see what "type" someone is. And even La Gorda wasn't advanced enough to see her own luminous egg.

Besides, we don't need to be "type obsessed". We don't have the crappy lineages where only certain people of the right "type" could be admitted. And one of most type.

We already have an unusually high count of "green" people.

Sure thing! Have you seen Jadeys video of the affection for the energy body pass? I think there's a link in the wiki.

Anytime. We all gotta do what we can to assist each other in keeping this thing alive!

Get your mom drunk?

> Affection for the Energy Body is so lovely!

Wait until you see it in Silent Knowledge!

Then the non-symmetrical aspects of it begin to make sense.

Not to mention, you get to spin your double round in a circle in the air in front of you.

Mine hasn't complained so far.

Could be from his point of view, I'm the one spinning?

Regarding #1, workshop notes probably have more information. But one thing I remember is that bored fucks would go from one thing to the next, never feeling fulfilled by anything, always looking for something. That would particularly be the case in matters of "spirituality/religion". So a bored fuck would keep studying or trying different systems, religions, etc, always looking, but never finding.

#2. Try to see if you can find attributes in yourself that match one of the winds. Keep in mind that we may "want" to be certain wind because we like its attributes, but if we are honest with ourselves, we realize that we actually aren't like that. Also see what time of day you usually feel better, more energized, or more silent. Like others said though, it isn't very helpful to know, and we don't want it to become something like a horoscope sign where you say "I am a Capricorn, so I am this way, I like these things, I am good or bad with people, and so on".

  1. Then that would mean that the majority of our bad players are in fact bored fucks. Especially the recent ones that are into magick, shamanism, "spirituality", wicca, 10 other things at the same time and insist everything is valid. Makes sense that a bored fuck would indeed produce a personified bored fuck offspring. All these bored fucks trying to troll the sub with their bullshit!

Interesting! And good to know, on both counts.

Thank you again, Jadey! :)

Hey! So it turns out I did have Jadey's Affection for the Energy Body video. Either it came up on a youtube search for Magical Passes, or I got it from somewhere in here. I've been watching and following already!

So beautifully done, and so nice to see you Jadey. Another big thanks to you for your help! :)

Incidentally, another two videos of this pass I've been following are linked below. They're probably linked somewhere in the sub as well, but just in case someone stumbles in here and finds them helpful:

Each video helpfully shows a slightly different angle:
