I was sort of "blackmailed" into making this post, but you'll have to get to where that can happen, to understand it.
I suppose an analogy is, you have a wealthy uncle who likes to bring you candy. But if you don't sing for him once in a while, you get less candy.

This picture really doesn't capture much of what I've come to realize lately about Tensegrity.
Most is on a magical level, in the abstract. And can't be spoken about.
Nor can it be thought about, much.
But you can "notice" it when you get there.
The double in his own realms wanders around expecting things. What it expects, becomes real.
Likewise, what it fears can become real.
If you can manage to discover what "expect" really means to your awareness, and can refine it to be more like "will", then you'll begin to see how to get the interest of the double while practicing tensegrity.
You will it, but not in any way you could figure out before you really learn to be silent.
It's much easier to perceive your double's presence in darkness where the energy body glows vividly when you've got it right.
But it could be done in full light too.
I should have added "WRONG: LAZINESS".
But I'm short on time.
Don't be lazy.
The double knows about it, and will decide you aren't worth bothering with.

WOW, perfect timing, thank you
Hopefully you'll be able to SEE this soon.
It's quite a shock.
At some point you might even realize, you just need to tell a different story about yourself and the double will go along with it.
Thus, all the weirdness we see with "Grau" or "Abelar".
Or Pablito at war with his 'mother' Soledad.
I sure hope Cholita has just been punking me all along.
Ahhh..forgot about how much i enjoyed Pablito stories
He's still possibly around.
That reminds me how easy is to see puffs after jogging for some time. I usually jog around 30min to 60min, and the colors seem to come by themselves, even just sitting. They really like when you're not lazy.
That's good to know about!
I introduced a man in Taiwan to Fairy and Minx, and he ended up having them chase after him when he was jogging at night.
Might make a path for joggers.
Jog first, darkroom after.
Hopefully a lot of people will read this and remember to suggest it later, if we get any joggers.
thanks! i will give it a try the next time i go jogging.
Anyone know anything about this?

It looks like Cleargreen made this, perhaps back in the 90s?
I don't recall "Readers of Infinity" having that illustration on the cover, and since it was almost surely copy store bound, like Silent Knowledge, printing on the cover would have cost more than needed to just give up 50 or so copies.
So theoretically, that's the poster the Blue Scout drew of "Reading off the Wall" (Silent Knowledge), combined with another publication Carlos wrote, that journal, and including Readers of Infinity?
Very odd.
But at least we can see a tiny bit what the poster they gave out at a single workshop, in very limited quantities, looked like.
It was an attempt by Carlos to motivate people to work hard, using graphics.
Same as is being done in here.
I just ended up continuing his last idea.
I can pretty much guarantee he'd have had cartoons made if that was easily available to him back then.
He'd gotten desperate and didn't care about the traditional methods or about "not explaining too much".
Seems you was asking for actual photos of "Readers of Infinity" , on FB

I sure don't remember that!
You mean the cover pictures ?
Yea.
I thought it was just like the other book, having a pomegranate cover.
Is that Loban's ship???

I don't know, and nothing is written about the cover , within the publication itself.
Well , there's this; "journal design is by Elaby Gaethen"
That's the blue scout according to an article on sustained action.
I wish I knew why she ran to death valley.
The blue scout and Elaby are mentioned here
Might be an evil trick to hide her identity as the artist.
She might have been a bit shy.
But on the sustained action site they spent time analyzing the blue scout's chronology because she was the only confirmed death, and they wanted to prove Carlos was running a suicide cult.
Those people were in private classes!
So were the ones who started the nonsensical "It's just Howard Lee's Kung Fu" story.
Howard's Kungfu style is so sparse, as far as I know it only has one short form and none of the movements look anything like Tensegrity.
Which has 216 forms.
It's ludicrous!
But then Tony Karim heard that private class people make believe story, and repeated it himself as if he were informed on the topic.
To get attention in that movie.
Tony is a dishonest guy!
But that makes sense.
He's Buddhist.

I bet there's a boat nerd subreddit where someone could identify it.
The sailing subreddit had a person who said of this ship:
***
Looks like a square-topsail ketch. The main course, topsail, and deck set topgallant are aback. The mizzen is gaff rigged with a gaff topsail set. The jib or staysail is partially struck or set. I would guess it's a bomb ketch, mortar ketch, or shallow drafted river boat. Looks more Dutch/European than Asian.
***
It's a lot like I saw myself, when Fairy was blackmailing me in Asia.
She was trying to point out how old this lineage is, and how sad if it's lost.
The ship has always been on a sea of cloud for me, and has that mysterious figure and shroud above the top of the center mast.
Maybe it's the blue scout riding on the lineage, emphasizing Loban, the outsider from a foreign land?
She's the angel on top? Seeing as how her poem about being an angel is in that publication.
We had a possible sighting of the blue scout recently. I won't say where, but it's not completely out of the question. I myself was expecting to turn into her eventually.
She was always a bit afraid of me. But Carlos kept pushing her up to me in private class, to demonstrate what he was teaching.
The voyage of Loban's ship was likely in 1755 by my calculations. It also agrees with the 1750 date the sailing subreddit people came up with, for that type of sailing vehicle.
Another pointed out it looks more like an armada of at least 2 ships.
Which makes sense.
No one travels from the Philippines (the intermediate port if you are coming from China) to Mexico in a single sailing vessel.
Especially not for trade.
You'd take an extra one in case of pirates or catastrophic failure of one of the ships. And for more cargo.
They possibly had mortars to hurl bombs at other ships. It resembles some kind of bombing ship seen in victorian era paintings.
I'm particularly pleased about that ship, since that's pretty much what the Allies showed me when they insisted the lineage couldn't die the way it was doing.
I was surprised at the time to see it didn't look Chinese, but now it seems pretty obvious to me that it was a dutch trading ship that Loban rode to Mexico on.
ChatGPT can verify the route and the year of 1750. Here's what it had to say about whether the Chinese would sail all the way to Mexico, or the Dutch were more likely:
***
Yes, it would be fair to say that in the 1700s, the Dutch were more actively engaged in global sea voyages for trade compared to the Chinese. The Dutch Golden Age, which spanned the 17th century and into the early 18th century, saw the Dutch Republic become a world leader in trade, science, military, and art. This period was marked by the extensive operations of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and the Dutch West India Company (WIC), which facilitated Dutch imperialism and colonialism on a global scale.
***
ChatGPT can't identify specific ships yet though.
Might be able to eventually, when people start to scan in records.
There's been efforts to scan in all books, but up until AI it wasn't really something you could profit from.
Now it is!
Imagine if you could propose Loban to ChatGPT and ask it to track him down.
From all available records of both ships which sailed in the 1700s, but also from any records in Mexico from that period.
A Chinese kungfu pirate might have left a mark somewhere.
I wouldn't be surprised if Loban opened a martial arts studio in Mexico for a while.
Chinese martial arts are mostly just a franchise, seeing as how they aren't actually very good for fighting.
Wrestlers always kick their butts quickly.
I had that "something's not right" feeling; here it is.
The Blue Scouts poem, " Angels Flight" is not in the publication with the ship, but is in, Number 3, Volume 1 March 1996, which is the one with the rectangular spaces/grid on the cover, and the one which I photographed those "credits".
>>>
And, in following the , "there is two, or an armada there , and my own feeling I have when I view that cover, " there is this written in that publication;
" If you want to be very exact,"don Juan went on, "you can say that when the energy body is very close to the physical body, a sorcerer sees two luminous spheres, almost superimposed on each other.
And, ... " But why would I want ti enter into those worlds?" I asked don Juan on one occasion.
"Because you are a traveler, like the rest of us human beings," he said, somewhat annoyed by my question. " Human beings are on a journey of awareness, which has been momentarily interrupted by strenuous forces . Believe me, we are travelers. If we don't have traveling, we are nothing."
There was more than one mailer in that readers of infinity series?
If you have more than 1, you should chat with Techno about making it available.
Carlos told me not to read that kind of thing anymore, so I ignored it.
Good thing too.
It's best to see it yourself first, before reading about it.
But then, you have to motivate people to get to work so there's a purpose to every book. For beginners.
And then for advanced people who run into a specific question.
As for the energy bodies, that's a common sight during darkroom.
I'm not sure you can see your own luminous sphere all that easily, but the energy body is easy.
Even La Gorda had never managed to see her own luminous sphere in books for the time period around Eagle's Gift.
That's DEEP silent knowledge, the far purple zone, to see those luminous spheres.
The energy body is merely deep red zone.
The problem in the red zone is, it's still "swarming" and most likely hasn't formed well yet.
It's odd that the old seers invented "the twin positions".
The purpose of which was concreteness in dreaming.
But you can get that by shrinking your tonal, and going off in the energy body.
I've done it more times than I can recall right now, so it can't be all that difficult.
As Carlos did at the ticket office, when he traveled a week into the past or future, to the coin market.
And couldn't tell it wasn't real.
He even walked back from it to that park he and don Juan liked.
Alameda was it?
So if you can shrink your tonal while fully awake, why lay down and go into sleeping dreaming and then lay down to go to sleep inside the dream, just to get the same concreteness you can get while fully awake?
Too bad we don't have anyone who can answer that question.
Could be, the old seers didn't know how to "shrink the tonal" like that.
That might be a new seer thing.
Someone in the sailing subreddit said it looks like this boat type from lord of the rings.
More /r/sailing help:
The broad bow, and hull shape make her look scow-like, so once again shallow drafted for river/bay transit, or she is a Bomb ketch (wide bow to compensate for the mortar recoil) The Spanish did build ships in the Americas, but that hull and rigging combination looks to be mid to late 1700s and that photo/painting is almost text book bomb ketch.

Someone on FB got their own copy in the mail. Here's his picture:
Image backup - http://archive.today/Gue6E
Maybe this is pertinent to this discussion, and if its unreadable I can type it out. Its in number 4 , Volume 1 , the one with the ship[s], and is the last one of these phamphlets, I bought from Cleargreen maybe 13 or so years ago

I'm not sure I get it.
He published 4 copies of that mailer in book form? Or wanted to?
Cholita counts things.
I never thought much of it, but I suppose anything can affect how the emanations behave when you start to "skim" them, so that making 4 of something could mean it's more "bright" in the emanations.
God is just a result of large numbers of people praying.
Sorcery isn't super superstitious, even when it seems to be to one who has no experiential knowledge of how it works.
In full on Silent Knowledge, there's next to nothing in your thoughts to guide how your awareness focuses on the emanations.
Because you want to find that which "stands out" at the moment.
But that's still largely from your concerns or needs, minus the confusion chaos of our internal dialogue focusing on the self, which has endless needs.
You remove that, and the emanations can present things which are unreachable in your normal state.
Maybe having 4 of something, is what Sorcerers determined to be the minimum number to make it stand out in the emanations?
Which implies these publications can't be lost now.
They're out there.
This confusion , if thats what it is, is probably because of how I write about things and thoughts, often it sucks, but sometimes it flows well.
Or, are you wondering about the content in that picture,.. the Author's Note
anyway I sent a message to Techno, offering whatever I can,
I was confused as to whether Carlos did in fact make a book from it.
He mentions "the publication of this journal in book form".
Where?
This is a "mailer", not a book.
I have a full copy of it image wise, and there's even mailing addresses and a post office stamp on it.
My lineage has (at least) two HK Chinese Kung Fu masters.
They taught the nagaual who taught me.
