What made Elias, Julian, Don Juan, & Carlos the naguals? What is their difference from the other warriors/seers?
Was it merging with their energy body and becoming double beings? Is the reason that nobody else has attained that state, that these 4 known naguals were just born with this potential?
Also, why did Daniel say in an older comment, that is it better that we don't have a nagual now?

They're born with extra compartments; and function in that manner from birth, even if they never discover or pursue sorcery. They simply use the extra awareness and drive for material and social concerns in the human domain...usually by seeking out leadership positions. Scroll down to "Double-Being":

You're focused on the pretendable aspects of the books, such as "the warrior's way" from the delusional "Men of Knowledge" who never learned to see. And also on being a "Nagual". An attention seeking claim.
Stuff that killed our community because that's virtually all people focused on, instead of working hard to learn real magic for real.
Better focus back on getting to work to learn to remove your internal dialogue, where you'll eventually reach Silent Knowledge and some day grow to be more powerful than all the Nagual's in our lineage.
We can do that!
We're the "self-taught seers". Not the old seers, and not the new seers.
There was only one originally. And none since him, until now.
He was the first Man of Knowledge who stopped being merely a profiteer exploiting magic shows for gain, and wanted to understand how the power plants and the Ally and the ritual, could bring him knowledge about any topic.
So he learned to "see". Which Carlos called "Silent Knowledge" towards the end, to make sure we knew you had to be silent, to receive that knowledge.
After the first old seer taught others, then they taught younglings, until the new seers were forced to hide out in lineages.
Where they taught apprentices.
We're different!
We have no teacher, and thus we know every single inch of the long road to Silent Knowledge.
Which is what Carlos told us to focus on.
I'm not sure why you're focused on something as useless as the questions you asked. could be you've been hanging out where bad men are trying to steal money based on the books of Carlos.
As Carlos said, "They're riding on my back like a monkey!"
Let me name some for you, but there are many more.
The fake sorcerers who will steal from you with their harmful make believe books:
Victor Sanchez, Miguel Ruiz, his son, Armando Torres, Merilyn Townshend, Carlos Castillejos, "The Nagual Speedos" (Krelman), ...
I gave up. There's too many bad men teaching harmful make believe for anyone to keep track of.
Techno put a list in the wiki.
Make sure you don't fall for it.
Simple rule: If someone wants your money, they have no real magic to teach you.
I actually happen to have some books by these authors. Fortunately, I haven't read them. Time to throw them out.
Thanks for telling me what to avoid. For me it's equally as important as what to focus on. I have wasted lots of energy on useless things.
