"The Abstract"`

I wanted to go through "Compendium Techno" to find all instances of "the abstract", but it's a term like, "The Nagual".

It ends up with multiple meanings.

During darkroom, it goes like this:

Puffs, shift below, whitish light, energy body, the Abstract, Silent Knowledge.

Carlos actually told us that was the sequence, although you'd have to see it with your own eyes to notice he was quite "linear" in that explanation.

He didn't like doing that at all. But towards the end he became more willing to describe things to us, hoping it would motivate us to put in some real work.

He gave us specific goals.

For instance, he described "The Whorl".

A slowly rotating smear of purple color with jet black swirling around with it, eating up the edges of the purple.

Like a Yin/Yang symbol at times, although don't expect that to stick around. It just seems to be in the back of our mind as something where the blackness eats up the light.

On the edge where the dark consumes the light, a pomegranate dot will materialize and text will spit out.

But else he described a purple smear in the sky.

And many times he described reading entire pages of text, floating in the air.

Such as "Reading off the Wall".

Point being, he DID NOT like to describe specifics, perhaps for the reason that he explained our seeing at first, is dominated by "prefaces".

But that the goal of a sorcerer is to see "Energy as it flows in the universe".

So his last books, his "how to" books, were filled with specifics he wouldn't have wanted to give out in the past.

He was hoping that dangling the carrots in front of our noses, would cause us to pull on the cart, and do some work.

We're really fortunate he did that, not because getting specifics is better.

It's not!

But with no teacher around, specifics are NEEDED.

Otherwise, everyone will just make up their own idea of what progress is, and we'll end up with the Hari Krishna Segment of the Castaneda fan base.

What could have happened to us!
