I didn't have much time to make this, so it's not very good.
But I wanted to have Grian speaking in a natural setting, talking to the dreaming emissary.
Just trying to find out if the voice selected for Grian is the same as Techno found, and what people think about it.
64 Comments
I like the male voice I think it sounds a bit more natural than the female voice
The female voice was selected from quite a few, by the subreddit.
Yeah I voted on it
I switched out the female voice and character and will replace this post with it.
Now there's an old librarian Dreaming Emissary.
cool
I believe she's going to be characterized by falling asleep unexpectedly.
Just to get some variety in Dreaming Emissary behavior.
I've seen TONS of variety.
Of course, it really just comes from you, and they reflect it back.
Sort of...
Yes ,, 11" X17" , folded to 11" x 8.5", then folded again, 8.5" x 5.5"
Shes not that old! Anyway, can you have her hand "stifling" her yawn?
Is it too annoying?
So the "Readers of Infinity" is actually 8.5x5.5"?
I'll have to fix mine.
I suppose it makes sense. You don't want to mail something that's 11 inches wide if you can avoid it.
Not annoying so much, but it seems it would "complete" the yawning effect, .. maybe its a polite yawn when one puts there hand over their mouth ,
Yes 8.5" X 5.5" ,
I bought mine all at once, and they came that size , all in one medium size manila envelope.
I'll change my "props" in the animation software.
I'll have virtual copies which unfold, presumably.
"Vertex Animation" they call it.
Like that rolling scroll I have in the dreaming emissary animation that isn't likely to get finished for a long time.
Where Howard Lee and Bruce Lee get into a fight while Carlos films it.
From a story he told twice in private classes.
Does this imply it's a single 11x17 sheet, only folded?
Are the issues with more pages printed on both sides, or all are printed on only one side?
Is it possible you could unfold it, take a picture of the front and the back, and then fold it the first time, and take a picture, and then the final time if it's only folded twice, and show the result as it was mailed to people?
So I could correctly produce it in my animation.
Then it'll be around in digital cartoon form for a long time.
As long as anyone can currently guarantee things will remain on the internet.
Which isn't as long as one might hope.
I was also confused and thought there was a "Readers of infinity" publication the same as the Silent Knowledge one, which was quite a bit like a real book.
And thought the Hermeneutics thing was separate.
But I suppose I got that impression in private classes from Carlos mentioning both, reading quotes from them, and me not having seen any copies.
Didn't read it either, because he said not to.
Two of the pamphlets are single sheets of 11'" x 17" paper, printed front and back , then folded to make a 8.5 X 5.5 finished product. Those two are "The Warriors Way" , Numbers 1 and 2 , Volume 1
The other two pamphlets "Readers of Infinity" ,Numbers 3 and 4 , also Volume 1 , have multiple sheets of paper .
"Readers of Infinity" number 3 , volume 1, consists of a single 11 x 17 , and one, 11 x 8.5" sheets of paper , folded to the 8.5 x 5.5
"Readers of Infinity" number 2 , volume 1, consist of a total of three full sheets of 11 x 17 paper , folded to make a 8.5 x 5.5" finished product
Note, I just attempted to send the pictures here , seems only one is allowed per post , or ?
Yea, unfortunately.
But anything to show the page order would get used over and over so it's not a wasted effort.
You could send them in chat, one after the other.
Or put them here "for the permanent record". Just keep replying to the same comment.
Picture quality doesn't matter.
Ah, the good old days of making mailers from standard paper sizes.
Now I suppose you just use "Print on Demand" from amazon.
Which is why we have so many me-too nagual ugly books to deceive people.
It's low effort publishing.
But I hope to put the publications of Carlos into virtual space.
And I also hope those Apple 3D glasses really catch on.
Supposedly with the latest you can pop up copies of your computer screen, and have several floating in the air in front of you showing different applications running.
Like a SCI-FI.
They also show virtual teleconferencing, but haven't explained to my satisfaction why you can see the other person's face, if they're wearing the mask too.
I believe that's just an avatar of steve, but in the demo they show him talking to another person, "face to face".
No more wearing makeup for conference calls???
I hope to have those characters from the cartoons standing in front of you during darkroom, to teach tensegrity movements.
I'd like that myself.
Each tensegrity form (the real ones) contains different and often very specific magic.
It could show that too, if I had time to try them out for a week first.
The last one Jadey made, the recapitulation series was it?, is STUNNING in silent knowledge.
You literally see intense golden sparkling shiny outer coating pieces get pushed to the center to form (lure) the energy body by the movements themselves, with the forming energy body still being purple or bluish as you'd expect it to be.
And simplified dark and lightness faces start to appear on it!
I don't know what to make of those.
They aren't an inorganic being.
Could be your own double in a "conference call" with you, the same as the virtual reality goggles do.
Make no mistake, the further you go the more your double takes in an interest in where you are located, and comes to play.
I was walking around in my room last night and noticed there was a bottle of calcium carbonate tablets in the laundry basket where I keep cleaning supplies.
The tablets are something I use once in a while during darkroom, if I have an acid stomach. Tensegrity has you bending all kinds of ways, which is not pleasant with an acid stomach.
So the double has seen me using those while practicing.
And it's version of my bedroom had that in the wrong place.
When I saw it there is when I realized I was actually in my double, and not really walking around the room.
If you get to "wake up" in your real room, it's unlikely to be perfect.
So don't anyone worry if that happens.
You can "feel" when it's a different kind of dreaming.
I have to keep things in odd places in my room because if I put them in the places in the house where they belong, such as the medicine cabinet, Cholita throws them away.
So the double also picked up on that obsession.
The tiniest little "asinine detail", as don Juan put it, will obsess your double.
Which is why ordinary dreams are useless as a path to sorcery, until you manage to bring a lot of tonal awareness into them.
Your dreaming persona will even obsess over "finding your hands" and pretend that for you, which people mistake for the real thing if they wake up and remember that part.
The real thing was described by Carlos in Art of Dreaming and in the books, and had the kind of details you never hear when beginners believe they found their hands.
Hopefully none read this, and lie so as to include that too.
But they commonly do that.

I sent on chat also, but not sure it went thru, let me know if you want all the publications done,? and if I need to make a change to how I'm doing this,.
Private chat to me won't go through. I ended up with tantrum throwing blackmailers who want attention.
But I got these ones.
If there were others for a second publication, keep them coming!
You might find there's a reward for it, when you practice next.
I get them.
Well the good news is ; It wasn't me , being the reason they didnt go thru on chat!
I gotta take a "device " break and was going to practice some , before we head to town, .. buying a cool used rowing skiff
I will get more coming
A reward would be great!
Getting more and better silence would be awesome, just when I get a bit, I get snapped back like a rubber band, to where I am aware of myself trying to get silent,!
Or, Wow, I can write about this in the chat ,.. ugh
But, what I do get, is like recharging the battery.
I will get more publication out,
I have the pages from the librarians, but for the sake of making the correct emanations vibrate, I'd prefer to position them precisely the same in my animation, as in the publications.
It's one reason I try to use only specific things someone has done, as demonstrations of the magic people can learn to do, in the cartoons.
The closer I can get to something that happened, the more shared emanations will vibrate.
So that theoretically, the cartoons can pull people onto the path of the old seers by summoning some small part of it that actually happened.
Making it glow a little there.
The Warriors' Way Number 2, Volume 1
Great!!!
Look at the emphasis on cyclic being worlds!
If that's what it is.
It even implies you could get lost in them, like a whirlpool.
Carlos put stuff on the cover of his publications, which is there to give us ideas on what we can learn to do.
But as usual, everyone ignored it, as something far out of their hopes and expectations.
When in fact, it's actually inevitable if you just follow instructions.
Ones missing? ? Sent 4, full spread of the front and back
If I said that, it's not true.
I put together that sheet from this batch, and it has 4.
Total shows how to fold it, so I can use "vertex animation" to make it unfold in a cartoon.
I haven't done that yet.
But it's a busy day today! So if I said you were missing one, I'm sorry.
I keep getting pulled off what I'm doing because of comments on both facebook and here.
Must be some weather related thing that has nothing to do with your helpful pictures.
I've even got someone claiming there's dreaming together going on in Cleargreen's followers.
And that Carol Tiggs is visiting Yogananda "fellowship" gatherings.
But we all know the kinds of things people make up about shared dreaming in particular, which doesn't make any sense when you realize how hard that is to do.
Jadey and I tried for a couple of months, and never got it as clear as in the books.
In the books, Silvio just pulled Josefina into dreaming and then Josefina grabbed la Gorda, and off they went into a shared dream.
That's how it's supposed to be.
I'm afraid, the account of shred dreaming amidst cleargreen followers is likely 99% make believe.
That's been going on since private classes first started.
And very hard to argue about, unless you have the specific people making the claim to question exactly what they've learned to do.
Which they never like doing since it exposes the truth of the matter.
Always hiding behind pretending, our community is.
Endless flier's mind.
The Warriors' Way Number 2, Volume 1
It's the single sided one?
This picture is the one which I thought was missing from the batch I sent earlier today, its just one 17" X 11" that they folded up, just like the one I sent yesterday.
I wonder if Carlos made his "warrior's way" and it didn't fit in one publication if they could only have 1 sheet, double sided.
So that this one is the "leftovers".
if you guys thinking I'm grumpy, you should imagine what Nyei, "The scribe of Carlos" went though...
It's normal in the lineages to make apprentices as uncomfortable as possible.
Carlos did that to Cholita for 6 months, from the little she told me.
There was even a man chasing her around tables, trying to grope her.
Whom Carlos had sent her to work for.
Ay, Cholita...
I wish she'd write up her stories so we could look at them and understand that situation.
But she won't even say hello to me anymore.
Last time I tried, she broke into a spanish song about "Death".
Which had likely been modified to be obscene.
She has quite a lovely singing voice!
Readers of Infinity , Number 3 , Volume 1
This is the "cover" , like it would come in the mail or stuffed in a medium sized manila envelope
Pages 2 and 3 , .. page 1 must be the cover, but its not written there.
note, Page 3 and 4 are one sheet of 8.5" x 11", sandwitched inside the full 11" X 17".
Turned page,... Pages 4 and 5
Page 6,, the end
Readers of Infinity , Number 4, Volume 1
This is the cover
Cover and back
I will send the remaining of number 4 Volume 1 tomorrow . Chat isnt allowing any more to be posted right now
Wow, it's like the Amazon delivery truck in here each morning!!!
I used to say "It's like Christmas", but then I got my social security checks and didn't really need it, so I discovered Amazon 1 day delivery.
I got 4 items yesterday.
But here you are with 7!
HO HO HO
continuing from where I stopped yesterday.
Readers of Infinity , Number 4 Volume 1
Pages 2 & 3
Pages 4 & 5
Pages 6 & 7
Pages 8 & 9
Operator error, I will be sending the last two images by end of the day
Looks like unfolding the papers in real time is an "exotic" form of animation called "Alembic".
But Blender can create and export those.
I'd like to have the fliers magically unfold themselves in the air, while the "Sleepy Dreaming Emissary" explains and demonstrates what they show.
Like those cyclic being beads and what they represent, assuming I can find mention of that topic in the newsletters once I read them.
If there's no mention, then I'll assume the lectures Carlos gave then about cyclic being strings of beads, is correct.
We have so much to explore!
Pages 10 & 11
Page 12, the end. That's all of the publications. Let me know if anything needs to be done , or redone. I wasn't successful in getting the crease flattened out, and the words seem blurry..
I see no mention of "cyclic being" per se, in that issue, the three chacmools ,Kylie, Reni, and Nyei are discussed ,and the roles they played , and then it mentions how they said "thank you and goodbye" December 9 &10, 1995, at a seminar and workshop.
But I know next to nothing about cyclic beings, but Carlos could be "talking all around " that subject and I wouldn't know it.
Yes, so much to explore, ..
I don't remember the good bye, but maybe that's why they became the "energy trackers"?
I can type in the whole or part of that subject,.. the chacmools, from the phamphlet if you like.
I downloaded the nice full page scans of all 4. It's a pdf on archive.org which Techno pointed me to.
At least, I think that's what's in it. All 4 publications.
I still didn't read it.
For me, there's a price to pay for reading anything written by Carlos or the witches.
It's kind of like a little kid who's about to eat his highly nutritious dinner, but then his bad boy uncle shows him a bowl of his favorite candy.
I just can't keep my dirty hands out of the bowl, and it messes with my dinner.
I'll wait until I'm forced.
So I probably have the Chacmool explanation already.
I always just believed they weren't learning any real magic due to laziness, Carlos got pissed off at them, so he tried to motivate them with some new "story" they could become.
"Energy Trackers".
Imagine if the chacmools had learned to get silent, and were swimming in magic during their daily lessons from Carlos!
Wow.
How differently things would have gone.
But as it was, Kylie was the only one who even came close to moving her assemblage point far enough to perceive the second attention clearly.
I just didn't know how to fold the pages to match the originals. I had the content, but not the construction details.
But I do now because of your photos.
If you wanted to do something that might get used in the animation, see if there's any magic mentioned which I could demonstrate in the air, using the dreaming emissary.
In order to make it clear to viewers, this isn't just philosophy Carlos wrote about.
It's real magic you can do yourself.
And the dreaming emissary does that! While it explains things, you get visions of what it's explaining.
They're like the talking lizards. While they were telling Carlos his answer, it came in visions of actual activities. Such as someone defacing library books.
Dreaming emissary = talking lizards minus the drugs, and while asleep?
I learn from them awake however, because if I did it asleep everyone would say "So what. My Yoga teacher does that."
Or some angry bad guy who wants to be the next "Nagual", perhaps that awful Carlos Castillejos who got mixed up with Miles, would claim he's learned from the dreaming emissary over and over.
In his dreams.
Misrepresenting any crummy dream he can remember, to be the dreaming emissary.
So we need real, visible magic to show while making the publications available.
To avoid any misunderstanding about what you're supposed to gain from them.
But maybe there's none in there?
Wouldn't take much.
Even a "topic" is enough to show what the topic is about.
I will look and see what Ican find.
Cool!
Even tiny stuff can be worked with.
I'm putting Nyei's "picasso moth" in the current animation.
Can't really justify it, but it's entirely consistent with translocation in the orange zone.
"Stuff" comes out from those worlds.
Don Juan even used to warn Carlos about that.
Although myself, I'll take something horrible that's magic over nothing at all.
Theres this,
Carlos writes about one of don Juan's seeing observations , which he calls reading infinity. Saying, when one is empty of thoughts and has acquired inner silence, the horizon appears to the eye of a seer as a sheet of lavender, where a point of pomegranate color can be seen.
That pomegranate dot expands and bursts into an infinity which can be read , ... that would be a cool animation!
Then there is the book of navigation , described by don Juan to Carlos
There doesn't seem to be much , but, I'm still looking.
I'll try to put that into the animation. Might have to redo the text for the purple zone. I already have it mentioning the "whorl".
I suppose that's more suitable for the "sleepy Librarian" animation then for the current one.
As you probably meant it to be.
I'll use "the whorl" in this current one when I finish the purple region.
I was gazing at "The Whorl" for a long time 2 days ago, trying to figure out how to portray it without making it look like a lame Yin/Yang symbol.
Otherwise those who were fooled by "I Ching" will start drooling when they watch the final version.
The version I saw 2 days ago was basically two clouds, one black and one purple, interacting with each other by some force of attraction. More horizontally stretched than circular.
I suppose closer to the "snear in the sky" Carlos described, but still very self-contained and no bigger than your own torso.
Wish I knew what the black was!
The purple is your energy body.
There seems to be a strong 3rd element in darkroom.
Tonal, Nagual, and something else.
The jet blackness.
>>>>>>
A full page in readers of infinity is "The force that holds us together as fields of energy".
And talks about a vibratory , agglutinating force ,that holds together the conglomerate of energy fields that we are.
And is "apparently similar" , with what modern day astronomers , back in the 1990s , call a "black hole".
Wow, we've never looked into that before!
Which is possibly why Carlos told us to stop reading his writings.
Just before he released 5 new publications...
I'll add this thing you found to the list of things to put into the animation for this publication.
It's important to never give the impression you just read the books of Carlos so you can fantasize and pretend.
Treating them like "sacred scrolls" no one ever hopes to understand.
We need to show in every single cartoon that all of it is practical and really works.
And if it's not working for you then you are NOT on the path.
To show that being "egoless Reni" is not credentials to tell people their ordinary dreams which coincided with another person's ordinary dreams, are dreaming.
We got that recently. Someone disliked the totally obvious observation that nothing at all is happening in the Cleargreen crowd, making it seem like there was shared dreaming going on out there because two people went to Reni and told her a dream they had, and she "verified" it was real dreaming.
Exaggerated it at first to seem like it was happening regularly, but the truth came out that it was just two people who were "hoping".
As if even a one time success was meaningful, when DAILY for years is still not enough to reach don Juan's level.
The world of fake magic is a really ugly dishonest place.
I even realized today that the purpose of telling people to leave their friends and family is two fold.
Not the one "issue" I thought it was.
I assumed it was because normal people are dangerous to sorcerers, and vice-versa, because normal people will try to talk you out of what makes them feel like they've misunderstood everything.
You can even cause a suicide if you break someone's connection to religion.
When they're barely hanging on to life and need their delusions.
And that's true. It's not really fair to expect you to hang out with people who are part of various bizarre and oppressive cults which hate real magic.
Because you aren't even allowed to defend yourself. You might cause a suicide.
That's the danger to others.
And the danger to you is, they'll do everything they can to stir up your self-importance, making it difficult to practice after hanging out with them too long.
They're like minus 2 months of hard work each time you get bombarded with their point of view.
BUT, there's another thing. Not so obvious despite the fact that it should be.
90% of our time is used up in the "presentation of the self".
As don Juan explained, that's why we can't perceive anything else.
We don't have any energy left to do that.
But that's not necessarily a "magical problem" at all!
The 90% is used up on friends, family, helping them move when they get kicked out of their apartment, going to the movies with them, date night, Christmas festivities, kidney failures.
It's a considerable burden on your time, especially if you also work a job.
And in fact, likely the #1 reason we get so few in here, who practice seriously.
90% of their time is used up on friends and family.
But we shouldn't emphasize that, because many lazy pretenders will just ditch their paranoid schizophrenic mom, and tell themselves they're working hard to learn sorcery.
When they aren't working at all.
Yes, just very recent , I had to tell one of my sisters that I like to take "vacations" from emails.
Which went a long way with reducing that lingering invasive feeling I would get to respond to her frequent "whats goin on?".
Sounds lonely. With nothing real in her life.
Nothing she can look forward to growing until it becomes truly amazing.
As don Juan said the old seers clung to life, in his opinion, not out of greed or fear.
But because they'd seen WONDERS.
That's the sad condition of our modern society.
No magic. No growth over time.
Only tedious and pointless decay.
Focused entirely on mating rituals, mostly designed to maximize donations for churches.
But then we can't exactly go back to hunting and gathering, where the idea of marriage would have been unappealing to both sides.
And to the children, who could pick any woman who likes their company to learn from.
Perfect!
Someone commented, the "Sleepy Emissary" needs to cover her mouth.
Ok... Next time.
I suspect she's always going to be sleepy, but that'll lead to sleepwalking for those who summon her.
Sleeping walking is a real "thing", and very close to "shrinking the tonal".
Little children do it naturally in many cases.
Here's warrior's way #1 for my use understanding how the pages are formed from a single sheet of paper.
Made as a post for instagram.
