I got a complaint...
So I stopped learning, and started making this before sunrise.
I do a half hour of this sort of thing daily, with it taking an hour to get to Silent Knowledge.
I ought to sit and watch more, but I'm trying to find entry directly into sleeping dreaming, and once you see "Silent Knowledge Tunnels", you have it.
You can go directly into a sleeping dream, without going to sleep.
The problem then is, retaining rationality.
The universal problem. Keeping your sense of purpose, while in the double.
As don Juan said, the double gets obsessed with the most asininely details.
It was obsessed last night, with all the questions about which outfits a character ought to wear.
I was surrounded by 3 people from the subreddit who have advanced magical skills, and we ripped the parts off one of the Genaro versions, to see what would look better.
I was trapped for an hour before I realized, that was NUTS.
And then, I had to get up to make this video. Or I'd forget it all.
There's audio of "the voice of seeing" so be sure to enable it and turn up the volume a bit. The default is disabled, and the volume is fairly low.
I put the still here, to get a thumbnail in the list of posts. Seems to work! Just put it first and save the post, then add the video using edit.

Wow. Wait were other people from subreddit there with you in waking dreaming? Or were you guys online on the computer drawing animations?
I run into subreddit people all the time.
Doesn't prove anything.
However, the same thing happened in private classes.
Early in the morning, before it was time to get up, there were constant reports of meeting with others from private classes, to practice somewhere seemingly consistent to each person, and not completely out of line if you compared different accounts.
Then, recently someone found quotes from Taisha, saying the same happened to them.
Likely, our double gets obsessed with things, and goes looking for them.
So in a group studying sorcery, it's really not all that much stranger than manifesting random objects just by saying their names.
It still doesn't prove shared dreaming.
That takes a lot more "proof" than simply saying you saw them.
Even if they saw you also.
If we aren't careful, we'll degrade into Astral Traveling levels of "acceptable proof".
A definite hazard in the world of magic.
Didn't carlos and la Gorda meet in the dreaming dreaming? They found each other and hold each other by hands in their doubles
More la Gorda found carlos lol but yes. They shared dreams on many occasions if I recall correctly.
Sleeping dreaming is merely a higher percentage of the double, and a lower of your tonal rationality.
So it's "dimwitted" dreaming. But that can have advantages. Less book deal mind, which is in fact a factor, even in a full on sleeping dream.
You ignore opportunities that are "too abstract".
We have women in here who can do shared sleeping dreaming. They just misalign the dream reality, so it's hard to "prove".
Cholita doesn't. She's dead on right there in her dreaming body when she visits.
Clear as anything, and even able to poke me with her finger, to scare me.
Or tell me things I can verify the next few days.
So there's many ways to enter shared dreaming.
I suspect the "twin positions" will turn out to be the best.
It starts from awake, having moved your assemblage point to silent knowledge where dreams materialize in the air by themselves.
You lay down and enter a dream fully awake, and then lay down to sleep in that dream. Matching your position on the bed.
It becomes available after 30 minutes of sustained silent knowledge.
And obvious too...
If you get there, some of the floating dreams will include the old seers.
They seem to reach out through time, after noticing you.
The opportunities are limitless and every step of the way there is a book deal mind. Every magic you see you want to write about and tell people or more like teach them. It's such a wierd mentality to fight with as any good glimpse of tiny bit of magic activates it. I wonder if it stops after red zone or this greed follow us till end of days
It mostly stops when you get to mid orange zone.
Where the breath changes!
Right about here (this picture), despite this looking like the red zone.
It's not. It's the pink part of the orange zone. I didn't put any colors that Carlos didn't explain on the J curve map, but both Juann and I like to call it the "pink" zone because you have access to both sides of the body. To the red zone if you need it, but to the orange zone where translocations form.
That's about where you lose the false idea of a "self". The breath changes dramatically at first. Later you're just used to it and have to look for it to notice it.
Losing "the self" doesn't mean what a beginner would think.
They got infected with Buddhism, so they think about the "self" even more when they think about being free from it.
They just mentally put the "self" up on a little throne, and believe that's now egoless.
You have to entirely forget it exists at all!
Kind of like a lion isn't thinking about whether his butt fur has shit stuck on it.
Or whether his last kill was too small, so the other lions don't respect him anymore.
But there's an unfortunate side effect.
You get AMAZING magic, right in your face.
And no longer care about it.
You just take it for granted, as "obvious".
It's as don Juan told Carlos once. That if he could move his assemblage point, answers would just flow from him as questions do now, when don Juan was saying that.
And boy do they flow!
Using a "presentation method" and a "topic".
It's endless answers to anything that's been bugging you.
But randomly.
And you don't give a damn...
I saw 4 old seers last night. Instead of the usual one wrinkly man I've seen in the past.
Instead of thinking, "Holy shit!!! What's in back of them? Are they near the cenotes? Or south where the Aztecs built Mexico City? And how old are they? Are they all men?"
But I thought, "That's worth noting. But obviously you can see those guys anytime. I'll look again later. I have more important things to see right now."
But now, I can't recall at all what I thought was more important than viewing the old seers, across thousands of years of time.
Not even a hint of it is left.
Though I did watch cartoons a bit, wondering if I could completely get out of "storyboarding".
ChatGPT was insisting storyboarding was difficult, but had to be done to make good cartoons.
I'd rather just copy them.
I only got 1/4th of a cartoon at the max. And it wouldn't stay fixed on the same topic.
Hopefully one day, a group of 4 people can sit in a home theater and watch cartoons on the wall. In absolute darkness.
All seeing the same one.
So they can recall more details.
What's that candy-floss looking stuff in the background, Dan?
I've definitely seen that stuff before. Seems like it had more of the sunset colors but apart from that, very similar.
Emanation fragments.
Those are trouble, because that's all there really is. Those, and awareness flowing into them.
So what should the "look like"?
Nothing! They're outside time, space, physical matter, and even outside an actual reality.
Each one only gives off a feeling, if you look at it.
Except that if you gaze at a bunch of them, in general, they project silent knowledge back.
Which is often knowledge about how to manipulate them.
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to portray them well.
That's a kind of "movie special effect" that would take days to get right.
But once done, you could use it over and over.
I suspect to do that right, would require python programming.
Animation software allows you to tie into the screen at some level, and also view the 3D space created by the software.
So that you can cover a character in ants!
I have an "object" that does that. If you put it on a character, presumably with the idea that he's dead, it'll make ants and insects crawl on him randomly.
To do a good job portraying the animations, you'd need to get into the software at that level.
But it's actually a skilled programming profession. Difficult enough that there's only a single library of those special effects called, "Popcorn FX", used by nearly all animation programs.
I need, "Sorcery FX".
But won't live long enough to write that, and also make cartoons.
Hopefully AI can do that sort of programming soon.
If they feed the specifications for the interface into one.
Today I found out, they left promotional stuff out of the ChatGPT database.
So our business neighbor had a party. Government contractor, so they do stuff like that.
A yearly "theme" party in the parking lot.
They hauled in an "In-N-Out" burger trailer. A complete in-n-out restaurant, pulled by a semi truck.
It's paradise!
Even visiting asians instantly like In-N-Out!
So I asked ChatGPT who owns those, and how to rent it.
He said as a lowly Ai language model, he can't possibly know such things.
But I googled it, and up came dozens of pictures and offers to send a truck.
$2000 minimum. And you get your own In-N-Out for a while.
But ChatGPT didn't know about it.
Just as he's filled with bad information on Castaneda, but not the content of the books.
That stuff is the emanations? I thought you had to be really advanced to see those.
Unless...you can see them by accident? Or, I mean, unless it just happens, if your AP moves for some reason.
The first time I recall seeing those candy-floss lights happened when I was only a kid. Maybe 5 or 6 years old. I had a pretty severe fright, a sort of an internal shock, what you might call an "existential terror" type-thing, I guess.
But I was never in any danger, I'd merely become temporarily stranded on a floating dock on a lake. The terror was just a kid's overreaction.
But at the time, it felt like an ice-cold knife to the gut, an actual painful sensation in my stomach.
Followed by what I used to call Grandfather Wind pushing me on the shoulder and saying "Look," but, not in words.
I sat down and looked into the light of the sun reflecting off the water. It's hard to describe, but it seemed like my head turned into mist and expanded or floated outwards. Next thing, I was looking at those lights. They were mostly sunset-colored, seemingly floating on a velvety-looking sort of brownish-purplish background. There were streaks and clumps of lights all over the place, like a cotton candy factory exploded or something.
There was no fear or pain anymore, quite the opposite. Just peace and stillness, and a sense of satisfaction. Like, everything was 100% fine, not a hair out of place. Always had been fine, always would be fine, that sort of thing.
So I just looked at the lights and got sort-of sucked into them, but no one talked to me or explained anything, that I recall. If I learned anything, I don't remember what.
What I remember was being completely alone, it was just me there. Seemed like I'd always had been there, where ever that was. I'd always been there, alone, and it was all perfectly okay.
Anyways so I just looked and "became" whatever it is was I was looking at. I could become one thing at a time, or everything all at once, no problem. I just did that for an unknown interval and it was all fine, it was no big deal.
Anyhow so, after a while, the adults realized I'd been left behind on that dock, came to get me and that was that.
So...yeah. Huh. The whole candy-floss thing was really just kind of natural and unremarkable. A childhood experience on the same level as, say, being scared by a big bug but then calming yourself when it walks on you and doesn't bite, or, something like that. It didn't even occur to me that anything weird or strange had happened until years later.
That bot has given me wrong answers about the content of the books, then corrected itself, then suddenly refused to answer any more questions due to copyright restrictions. Maybe it's something to do with the way you format the questions.
I like that it seems to know Nahuatl though, and so many other languages. You can get it to translate Nahuatl into Gaelic or anything else! I don't like bots generally, but, you gotta love that.
It's useful...too useful! As long as it gets things right, at least. If it helps you get the cartoons out, then it will have sung for its supper well enough IMO.
What stuff? That tunnel?
No, that's silent knowledge. It's in the "interplay" of the emanations in Man's band.
So there's 8 great bands of emanations in us.
But only Man's band, along which the assemblage point travels, is active in the kind of Silent Knowledge Carlos taught to us.
But the emanations themselves are "unformed".
You can gaze att them to see if any stand out, and then that begins to form something larger, like dropping a sugar crystal into saturated sugar solution.
It grows a larger crystal.
That tunnel is very much formed from a mini-bundle of the emanations, in response to a "concern".
With an infinite number of alternate bundles possible.
Only silence allows that to work.
Without it, it's impossible. You'll be constantly lighting up the emanations of the blue line reality, so that nothing new can form (glow as a cohesive group).
No, not the tunnel. The lights, the candy-floss looking stuff.
I don't think I've ever seen a tunnel, now that you mention it.
Those are silent knowledge objects.
Won't see them until you reach deep purple.
The emanations can become visible anywhere along the way.
The "whitish light on surfaces" is likely just a blurry view of them.
That comes fairly early, once your assemblage point goes under the bottom.
I find my dreaming self to be fascinating. Anything can happen. You can be walking around with some old seer who suddenly decides to rip out someone's jaw.. and then just go walking on.. so to speak.. but there is an interruption.. because something will remember the event.. and the dream finds itself in waking hours.. suspended judgement is in this case a great tool.. suspended in what.. silence? Seems a fitting enough word, I suppose like the silence a fish would experience in it's natural habitat, assuming it were alive and all.. without words things are so much more clear.. giving rise to the paradox of like why would I keep reading.. I guess that's like cos we're social beings, like DJ said... So it's not so much what but who like you say. If I were an old sorcerer I'm sure fish would have a lot more to say than people, but then again, who knows what goes on in those people's minds.
