The Usher

The things is in sorcery there is never any one answer.

Or result.

Memories trap energy. We want this energy back. Recapitulation frees up this energy, so we can use it. It also can do a lot more than this, but that's the basic concept.

It's a very bad thing to focus your attention on.

Keep in mind, none of us take money for all this hard work you see.

I hope you at least looked around before you posted.

And we only get paid if someone serious actually learns real magic.

We're trying to build energetic mass, to make magic easier for all. At this point, we have the largest "lineage" to ever exist.

So no one can predict what energetic configurations we'll have access to, which even the proper lineages of around 15 each didn't know about.

Carlos mentioned that just with his workshops, he had access to things don Juan didn't know about.

We're trying to increase that level of energetic mass.

But we have limited energy available to help people in here.

So dead weight is intolerable. Thus it's a bit "ruthless" in here.

Unlike money oriented fake magical systems and religions, which "respect all opinions" in order to keep as many hanging on and sending in money, as they possibly can.

Interest in "the usher" usually indicates an attention seeking person looking for a "binary experience" they can fabricate, to get a "reputation" in some magical pretending group they want to join. Maybe even just Facebook.

We had an invader from Facebook early on, an obvious attention seeking pretend sorcerer, who's "claim to fame" was that they "folded in half" in dreaming.

Like "The Usher" that topic stood out as something they could pretend, so they found a way to pretend it to themselves, so that they could become angry if anyone accused them of making up things.

That sort of behavior has been going on for 55 years now, and nearly destroyed our entire community.

Until this subreddit came along.

I blame fake Asian magic for giving people the idea that a single experience is of any importance at all.

The desire to claim you achieved some binary milestone reminds me of the current North Korean leader, who turned that entire country into a delusional cult.

Even Koreans make fun of how cult driven Koreans can be!

It's all over Netflix in their translated Korean streaming media.

So the story being taught in elementary schools in North Korea is that the first time the Korean leader played golf, he got a "hole in one".

On his first hole!

The story doesn't go into any more detail about how hard he practiced, what his swing is like, did he use a 9 iron for that hole in one, and whether he uses a caddy to help him play.

Nothing mattered but that "binary achievement" of a "hole in one".

Because the only purpose of that story was to bully people into having to agree that he's divinely justified to rule North Korea.

I'm pretty sure that if he took up Recapitulation, he'd "find the usher" on his first try.

It is a way to catch up your attention and realize you don't really have a past.

The most concise description of the recapitulation is probably this one, from the Magical Passes book by Carlos Castaneda:

And then you can grab The Sorcerer's Crossing by Taisha Abelar. It explains recapitulation well and then some.
