A rough draft of the second attention assemblage point video.
Notice that the location that's the average of what Juan Tuma and Zuleica specified, precisely falls in the center of Man's cheese slice?
I was getting arguments from people.
But since Carlos showed me in person and it agrees with everything mentioned about it in the books that I could find, and even perfectly agrees with a seemingly unrelated topic (the location of that secondary assemblate point), I'd say that Man's band does in fact have that angle I used in the Luminous Sphere animation.
I'm not done with it, so if anyone sees something be sure to speak up.
Some of these videos might be around a very long time.

The one question I have comes from curiosity, not an argument from any of the books, so if I'm wrong, just say...
When we move our AP down through the J-curve, like in the video, does it come to a place aligned next to the 2nd attention AP, or do they overlap? Or can they overlap? I always thought they did, but I don't know why I thought that...
The 1st attention AP "shines" into it.
But I'm afraid I can't find those specific quotes in the books.
As for whether they overlap, I suspect the answer is that they COULD, but don't necessarily do that.
Our 1st attention AP is on the outside of the egg, unless a Nagual pushes it in.
Dents the shell.
And there are quotes about it moving "anywhere along the outside of the egg".
But the egg is "squishy". Can change shape.
So although we weren't given better information as far as I know, and we don't any seers yet of the skill to perceive this, I'd say this is a topic of "shrinking the tonal".
But also related to "bringing rationality awareness into sleeping dreams".
The energy body is smaller than the luminous sphere, so naturally if both are on the outside of their shells, they don't normally merge.
That makes it clearer to me. Thank you.
Is that rendering add-on that allows for complex lighting and shadows not working anymore?
The animations could really benefit from "spooky" atmospheric effects and shadows.
No, actually it was so buggy and difficult to use, the company gave up on it. They don't sell it anymore.
It was from NVidia, which is notorious for dropping things when something better comes along.
But Microsoft does that too.
I don't have good lighting in that. I deleted all of the lights in favor of using "ambient light".
I'll look at using a "studio lighting setup" tomorrow. They'll just drop all the lights into your scene, adjusted in slightly different colors even.
Key, side, back, and so on.
It does look rather flat in those last few seconds at the end, and that's my only complaint π.
I'm missing the spookiness....
Ok, I'll fix that.
I'll also have those puffs floating around kind of "swarm" into the energy body, separate from her, before it decides to merge over her.
That's pretty much how things can go.
You can "stuff the puffs", but in my opinion that's only "training" for the energy body.
It doesn't have to flow onto your torso that way.
I spent at least an hour spying on Cholita last night in my energy body, after she managed to pull it out.
Don't anyone get excited. It was at 95% transparency. I had to "not look" in order to see anything at all.
If I looked, all I saw was how disappointing it was.
But the voice of seeing said something like, "You're over here, not over there! And you're going back and forth at will. What more could you ask for?!"
Cholita made a huge crashing sound, likely when she noticed it moving around near my room.
Solidified it right there for a good hour.
Then she kept making very odd noises with things, so that my tonal would notice at the same time.
Might have been laptop or cell phone special effect sounds.
No way she could make those with anything in our home that I know about.
Great video, thank you π
It's only 50% right now.
Everything visualised helps to understand. π
Not completely.
But somewhat.
Carlos taught a series of passes where you swing your assemblage point around in the air and then "hurl it".
Which of course is nonsense.
He has several others purporting to make it move using your body to pull or push it.
But in the descriptions he admits, it's only because it helps you to start intending it to move.
It doesn't actually move it.
But it might cause you to act in a way that's more serious about succeeding at that.
A good portion of sorcery seems to be "phantom".
Meaning, like God.
You can visit God!
I have.
Many mystics did, and didn't understand at all what happened.
Even the old seers believed God was a "protector".
They never saw through him.
He's even interactive, and offers you to ask for something.
Because everyone does!
But he's just the result of billions of people bringing him into existence, with prayers.
Likewise, much of sorcery was simply "visualized and made real" by the old seers.
Which sounds like it means there's no point, until you realize EVERYTHING in our reality, ALL OF IT, is like that.
The emanations interact in their own ways, due to proximity and type, so physical matter seems "real" no matter what anyone says.
But in its own range of emanations. Not in other ranges, which are infinite.
We only got hooked on this very specific view of things. "Grew up" in it.
And that part doesn't seem to be fully removable.
Until you leave with your awareness freed from being trapped in an organic container.
The Aboriginal Dreamtime:
"The Aboriginals believed that the entire world was made by their Ancestors way back in the very beginning of time, the Dreamtime. The Ancestors made everything.
They believed that the land they occupied was once not in existence like it is today. It was free from form or life, vacuous β empty.
They unquestionably believed that this was the way things once were because the ancestors had said so and they would never doubt their word. It was during what has become known as the Dreamtime, the land, mountains, hills, rivers, plants, lifeforms both animal and human and sky above were formed by their actions..."

It's a 60,000 year old culture.
Which had Denisovan ancestors! Non-human.

PLENTY of time to develop real magic.
Because money is only 6000 years old.
And I'm not sure they even learned to read and write until 200 years ago.
So it's not very "book deal" oriented.
Unfortunately, no one can gain actual access to people there with real knowledge.
And the place has been largely destroyed by foreigners bent on cashing in.
The garden has been thoroughly trampled by now.
It's analogous to us trying to learn to follow the Olmec seers, based on the modern "Shaman" in Mexico.
Totally hopeless.
In the case of Australia, you'd have to run into the real thing who figured out what was going on, and decided to tinker with society by taking it on.
Without you having told him that.
A pretty woman might pull it off.
Every time the videos get better and better!
Yesterday, I was practicing The Center for Decisions movements and suddenly the shape of the internal organs of the intestine and stomach appeared in front of me. I was a little surprised because I did not expect such a thing. Until I saw this clip, it became clear to me that my double is already watching and it shows me the information of its observations with a time delay. And today I realized all the events that happened to me in the past, the coincidences. A part of the Magical Phases book, in the central movements for decisions, Don Juan mentions that the ancient seers were busy drawing these vortices for hundreds of years and prepared a map of it
"When the sorcerers of ancient times," don Juan continued, "were scanning the body with their seeing
eye, they noticed the presence of those vortexes. They became very curious about them, and made a map of
them."
Recently, I reviewed the memories of people in my dream, which was related to an old sorcerer who taught me how to follow the intention of reviewing other people's memories... I haven't learned it well yet, but I'm practicing. One of my exercises was that my friend asked about the Holy Mary, was she really a virgin!? And I intended and "see" and began to follow his energy trace. It had happened before and the inorganic being taught me what happens when I follow the energy of the effect of an intention. I did not find any Virgin Mary, there was no energetic effect that was in the past or present or in any place, and the spirit also told me jokingly that it is useless to look for a legendary dead person. So I told my friend that Virgin Mary does not exist with the help of seeing me, but she is an imaginary person... There is more concentration of mental energy from her... and again I saw that my friend was disappointed because she was also a virgin and wanted to be a virgin like a Greek goddess. And I said that I have no claims, but it has been proven thousands of times to this day that "seeing" is absolutely certain, but my interpretation of "seeing" is uncertain. In this case, I said what I saw, not what I just felt. When I asked about infinity, the whole environment around me became extremely silent, a strange silence! And the more I applied my intention, the more silence there was, until the spirit jokingly told me that it is futile to search for the truth of legendsπ€£ππ₯²π...
I'm going to have to revise this to use a "circle" instead of a ball, for the assemblage point.
Nothing so far indicates it's a ball shape. It seems to be more of a "uni-directional" sight.
Meaning, only seers see it, since it actually has no physical matter or light generating abilities, and is more of a second attention construct.
A phantom representation of something incomprehensible otherwise.
And the picture Carlos drew is what he said it looked like.
I extrapolated that into a ball, but I now believe that was an error.
So unless someone has something else from the books, it's going to return to being a "circle".
Att that point if it's wrong, no one can complain too much. I'll copy the exact picture Carlos drew onto it.
The tennis ball sized thing in the middle is the actual assemblage point.
It say "tennis ball" in many places in the books and publications.
I also plan to update that energy body. I got a GOOD look at it last night, for around an hour.
Cholita pulled my energy body out, and kind of took it prisoner for a while.
Makes me wonder if she didn't see the cartoon.
I got pulled into a weird copy of the phantom subreddit, fully awake.
So I was in 2 places at the same time, switching back and forth.
Now I see why women have an advantage.
I'll try to add that to this cartoon also. Or at the least, hint at it.

A better way to depict it might be like a magnet pulling in iron filings; in actuality pulling in emanations to assemble them as a "complete" perception.
Making stuff glow is easy.
Just put a copy of the picture in the "glow" channel.
There's a "metalic" channel too!
They REALLY have this stuff down to what you need.
Except the ray tracing that is.
Even that's a total fraud.
It's roughly like having a super famous Buddhist Master teach you meditation for 10 years, versus some woman who learned it from an old boyfriend, showing you just once.
Difference?
Not much.
A better way to depict it might be like a magnet pulling in iron filings; in actuality pulling in emanations to assemble them as a "complete" perception.
Here's the description I missed, making it clear what that extra glow Carlos drew is.
And also making it seem very likely it's a flat spot, not a ball as I'd pictured it.
It's "flush" with the surface!
This also might explain why some got upset I put it over the left shoulder blade.
Which Carlos showed me in person, so I have no problems with that.
But this description is from the front of the person, looking at them, so it says, "right shoulder blade".
It seems that Carlos took the time to show us in person, what I'd need to do this correctly.
He also showed us "the whorl", so I can confidently portray that as a yin/yang sort of thing.
Not that I like the implications chinese mystics saw that.
But if they did, they were stoned on Opium at the time.
Which is closely associated with Daoism.

Do you have the link to the "finished" version of this, either YouTube or Reddit? That should be filed for reference, or this one, in the assemblage point section of the Wiki
But of course, it's on archive dot org also.
Might be much of what comes up when you search for Carlos Castaneda.
At least, I sure hope so...
