New to Castaneda (already a magic practitioner) (English-Spanish)
New Practitioners
Hello!
I am a person who has been pursuing the supernatural for a long time. Throughout my life I have practiced all the magic I could find with real-world effects: telekinesis, extra-ocular vision, remote viewing, precognition, etc. I truly believe that anyone can develop these powers.
A few days ago someone recommended Castaneda's books to me, and I have quite enjoyed his book "Journey to Itxlan". In my experience, access to the supernatural happens through attention, intention and visualisation. Both in Castaneda's books and on this Reddit I have perceived that the true path to the supernatural involves raising your level of irrationality (Castaneda-Matus call it non-doing) and cultivating mindfulness.
However, I have also encountered many critics of Castaneda, and so I like to assess the experience of practitioners of a system more to evaluate whether it is close to my field of interest (the development of supernatural abilities).
Could I know more about what kind of supernatural skills you have developed?
Are they consistent?
Thank you very much for your attention and your help.

¡Buenas!
Soy una persona que lleva mucho tiempo persiguiendo lo sobrenatural. Durante toda mi vida he practicado toda la magia que he encontrado con efectos en el mundo real: telekinesis, visión extraocular, visión remota, precognición, etc. Creo sinceramente que cualquier persona puede desarrollar estos poderes.
Hace unos días alguien me recomendó los libros de Castaneda, y he disfrutado bastante de su libro "Viaje a Itxlán". En mi experiencia, el acceso a lo sobrenatural ocurre mediante la atención, intención y visualización. Tanto en los libros de Castaneda como en este Reddit he percibido que el verdadero camino a lo sobrenatural implica elevar tu nivel de irracionalidad (Castaneda-Matus lo llaman el no-hacer) y cultivar la atención.
Sin embargo, también he encontrado muchos críticos de Castaneda, y por eso me gusta valorar más la experiencia de los practicantes de un sistema para evaluar si se acerca a mi campo de interés (el desarrollo de habilidades sobrenaturales).
¿Podría saber más sobre qué tipo de habilidades sobrenaturales habéis desarrollado?
¿Son consistentes?
Muchas gracias por vuestra atención y vuestra ayuda.

Male or female?

This only applies if you are male.

I'm not aware of any magic working anywhere else visible on the internet.

So the idea that you've tried a lot and believe you saw some working, contradicts reality.

You can't point to a single place where it's clearly working and not just some profiteers' made up stuff.

Except to here. No one here gets money in any way, there's no church, no group, no meeting, no videos, no interviews, no promotion of anything other than what you can try yourself, which is proven to work.

Hundreds of people active in this sub are on the lookout for real magic elsewhere, and so far all they came up with was very basic "green line effects" which you can see in this map.

And forget critics of Carlos.

They lie.

You can find them thoroughly debunked in the wiki. All of them.

The worst of those were scientologists!

Real magic comes under attack.

Fake magic like Buddhism or Euro "Magick" does not.

Here's the map Carlos left us before he died, telling us to go to the Purple Station at the end.

We've been everywhere along that map, which is where the pictures come from. Actual experiences posted in here.

Yes, we have supernatural skills including levitation, passing through solid walls, being in 2 places at once, shared dreaming, traveling to anywhere in the universe done fully awake, eyes open, drug free, by simply leaping through your ceiling, walking into portals to alternate copies of ourselves, and working with spirits who become our friends and can move solid objects.

And are fully visible. And we share spirits in here.

Carlos himself left 2 for us to use.

But you should look at older posts.

No one can teach sorcery.

You have to take the initiative to learn it yourself.

If you try, you'll quickly discover why.

If anyone offers to "teach" you magic, they're a fraud.

If they want money, they're an evil con artist. Even if they preach "love" or spirituality.

It has to do with the very nature of magic, and how you learn it.

You can't have greedy ulterior motives, or it's impossible to learn much more than that "Green Station" on that map.

The pictures show it all.

I'm male, answering your question.

There is a lot of people teaching supernatural abilities around the globe. I know it is real because I've done it myself (I have video recordings of many telekinesis exercises you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSxu_40njlE6Vi1bTEoH0yg ).

I would like to see with my eyes some of the examples you mentioned (levitation, bilocation and so on), but I'm in Europe and there is no nahual tradition here. It would be nice for some practitioners to share their story so I can delve deeper into the knowledge of developing supernatural abilities.

They look like static electricity tricks to me.

Try moving a little dim sum plate across a table a few inches at a time, without having your hands near it. As my witch comrade Cholita can do.

I think you're making up stuff to create a feeling of magic in your life, and won't be able to learn any real magic because you aren't serious enough to do actual work.

Typically someone like you who stumbles on this subreddit tries to impress others, at first pretending to be a "comrade", and when called out on the obvious fakery their head explodes and they storm out in rage.

We see 3 a week, for the past nearly 4 years.

You clearly don't have the sobriety to tell the difference between pretending, and the real thing.

It's common.

I don't think this place is for you.

There's plenty of places for pretending.

This one requires actual hard work.

Out of 100 who claim to want to learn in here (which you aren't counted among), only 1 puts in any actual work to learn.

Even though it takes no more time than learning to play the trumpet, or shoot hoops well.

The problem is, people just want the reward of attention from other humans.

And can get that with pretending, as you are doing.

So hard work seems unnecessary to them, and they never even try.

Self-centered promotion will not be tolerated. Neither will wasting people's time, intentionally. Such content will, upon review, be removed.

Did you know that basically the thing you call "remote viewing" exist because of Carlos primarily. Remote viewing was a term established by Robert Monroe. Just so you know he stole so much from Carlos and its so obvious.

Soo already half of you sorcery is a twisted version of what we have access too.

Now how about ceremonial magic and all the diabolical witchcraft that out there? Yes some of it might work. Does it mean that its good for teaching away? Absolutely not!!!

Just think about how many make believers exist becouse of the "traditional" witchcraft.

You seem to be the type of guy who likes to roleplay a powerful sorcerer so you can seduce women. Very bad idea, it is to come here and expect that that will make you suitable for learning real sorcery. As far as we know people like you have the lowest chance to achieve consistent results because for you its all about "showing off".

(I red your post before it was deleted btw)

This is not true. I will put here an extract from my book related to the historical records of extrasensorial experience (remote vision and mindsight):

The earliest recorded evidence of this ability is in the Yoga-sutras of Patanjali, written in the 2nd century BC. These are the foundational texts of yoga, and clearly indicate how one can gain psychic and paranormal abilities through meditation.

The concepts behind the yoga-sutras are very particular and a knowledge of Sanskrit is necessary to understand the nuances of each sutra. In Chapter III "Vibhuti Pada" we are introduced to three elements of spiritual practice: dharana (concentration), dhayana (meditation or contemplation) and samadhi (deep absorption). Studying these three elements gives rise to samyama, which is the integration of all three, and from their practice arise numerous abilities and paranormal powers called siddhis (perfections or psychic powers). Extract from Chapter III "Vibhuti Pada" of the Yoga-sutras:

"By applying samyama on the shining light one gains access to the knowledge of subtle, hidden or distant things. [...] From there one proceeds to the transcendental knowledge of hearing, sensation, perception, taste and smell. These supernatural powers are hindrances in the state of samadhi, but in the state of world-consciousness they are psychic powers."

Astral projection term goes way back but the use of the term "remote viewing" was popularized by Robert Monroe . You can't tell me otherwise.

Also i know of most psychic techniques out there. And if you know them you would probably realize the key to any supernatural abilities comes from trance like states. And in essence we teach to move the AP which is way more useful description of how to achieve changed states of consciousness. No psychic community has ever any good techniques for achieving those.

And you talk about "visualizing". Visualizing is the killer of any sorcery, i makes you obsessed with delusion and your own mind, which is the opposite of what we teach. I would suggest you to leave this place. Simply because the chance of you stealing something for your new "book" and pretending to be able to do it so you can make money is too great.

And also lets talk about yoga. Yoga is the WORST make believe topic!!! Why? Because you talk about yoga sutras and think that you sound cool saying it. You have no idea what those say, you just read some summary about "evidence". Yoga is just as anything else crappy make believe techniques that have some part of truth in them and the the rest bs. But most importantly gurus are the most greedy scammers in the universe hoping to get rich from brainwashing people.

Kundalini yoga is the ONLY HALF USEFUL knowledge in the whole yoga feild for any sorcery, and even that part is missuderstood greatly and made to seem like something "great" which it really isn't.

Go to r/Kundalini instead or r/psychic. They would love to hear your delusions, but even they will ban you.
