Why so picky over terminology?

I was just asking if the focal point and assemblage point where the same thing.

Is "inventory comes with baggage" not an explanation as to why? Sounds like a pretty good one to me...

Can you specify what you guys mean by "inventory"?

But they told you were to go to find out? The Wiki's terminology page?

Inventory is everything one knows, and as result got classified by the mind.

So basically they just want me to focus on Carlos Castaneda's rhetoric only? That just sounds like something a cult would say.

I wonder what you would say about going to school to learn a subject?

We here on this subreddit have years of experience behind the reasons we give for removal of certain posts.

One thing that has been shown to retarded the progress of people interested in Castaneda's work is trying to use other ideas or terms to explain it or define it (like thinking you can learn to swim by listening to an audiobook).

To GET it. Rather than DO it.

It locks people into mental loops. And muddles intent; needlessly.

Besides, everything is explained in the texts...if you read them all, and thoroughly.

Ask a nuclear physicist why the terminology of subatomic particles is not associated with fruit. Why so picky?

Removed for an unspecified reason. Further details may, or may not, be forthcoming from the mods.

We're in a war to preserve this knowledge from extinction, at the hands of "inventory warriors" who only repeat what they read, trying to pretend they actually learned something real.

Three a week on average, attack the subreddit in such a way that if allowed to remain and continue, the place would have been destroyed 4 years ago by the buildup.

Sorcery is VERY precise. If you deviate, it won't work at all.

But the "precise" has multiple "complete paths", and all you have to do to succeed, is understand them.

Here's the types of attackers we get. It's so steady, it's possible to describe the ways people do harm to our community.

All of it by pretending for the most part.

So learn first one thing:

There's no real magic anywhere else, or we wouldn't put in all the effort.

We'd b e happy if Buddhist high in Tibet actually had magic, but they don't.

Likewise, all Yogis are merely con men, with some petty meditative effects which can be gotten many other ways.

There's no "enlightenment". The belief in such a thing is an abomination, and a clear sign of a dishonest person.

There's no "Astral Travel". It was made up to steal money.

Name your magical poison, and it's all easy to see to be a fake, if you learn some sorcery.

It's a pity there's no magic else. I searched for 10 years or more, with access to free world travel.

Carlos searched for 15 or so years, and he was so famous he could go see anyone.

It was all ugly pretending.

THAT'S why were so careful.

But the only way you'll see this yourself, is by following instructions to learn it.

And please notice, no one in here has anything at all for sale, ever.
