Eventually you'll reach Silent Knowledge, and realize how vast it is, and how difficult to find or do what you want there.
It might all come down to "feelings" but not in any way you can describe.
You could be gazing at something just like this picture, which is as close as I can get an AI to draw on layers.
And you see a fundamental truth about Silent Knowledge. That if you can just "relax" your worry about making a mistake, "things" begin to flow.
In this case a color of blue green caught my eye, and my entire body was shocked by it.
But it doesn't do you any good to hear about such things, other than to hopefully get you to give up the pretending.
After gazing at that for a long time last night, trying to figure out how to enter into those sights without losing my sense of purpose on the other side, I was surprised today to see that quote about the lull of the Running Man series.
And wanted to remind people, in sorcery things are very REAL.
They aren't meager meditation effects which barely register in your awareness.
So the "running man lull" is not just a Yoga stretching bliss event.
It's a full view of THE NAGUAL, which is why the old seers were obsessed with controlling it.
I'm not sure why Carlos and the witches drove themselves nuts trying to figure out how to handle it.
You just experience it, that's all! Isn't that enough?
Still... That animation my animators copies from a youtube video has FAR too many of those long pauses.
Not a good idea during darkroom, when you reach advanced stages.
Keeping active is a better idea.
You can "rest in bliss" later... We don't want to turn into delusional monks.

I think it's because it's an act of pure intent. Just lying there isn't supposed to make weird things happen, and yet it does. "Keeping active" at least has some sort of explanation, you are moving the same way that sorcerers moved, but everyone on Earth just lies there and doesn't see crazy shit happen.
I have seen the night sky in my room with purple clouds (not puffs).
You can zip to a star you see if you shift horizontally far.
Even zoom in on it with your fingers, as if it were a cellphone picture.
I suspect that's all because we know the "doing of the night sky", and so it's not that difficult to assemble it on a surface.
Might be why Carlos chose those phases of the moon to show on the cover of Wheel of Time.
i learned not to have expectations. not for anything in life.
You should expect magic. It's the only way to verify you are following the advice of don Juan and Carlos.
Unless you want to go your whole life and never learn any actual magic.
expecting is doing.
You're pretending your magic, in order to give yourself a sense of superiority. Not sure why you are so insecure you need that.
Maybe a career change would help more?
Pretending and posturing is not welcome in here.
And since you don't actually want to learn, why are you in this particular place?
We can point you to at least 5 fake Castaneda discussion groups where "wise saying" like that are welcome.
Just ask and people will point you.
Cleagreen's group is one. That one has activity, because Cleargreen has groupies.
But people who got tossed out of here for pretending made their own on reddits also.
4 of 5 of them.
All had some activity for a week or two, then fell silent.
Because there was no magic going on.
do what you want. im commenting on an internet discussion board. i've given no advice, nor declarations of any sort of expertise on the subject. only sharing lessons i've personally learned in life and ascribe to myself. do you think you get to dictate my path?
My job is to try to get as many who come here to learn the real thing.
It's the only compensation any of us in here get.
When people learn real magic.
But you are too screwed up to learn, so please go away.
We call this an "attack of 3s" (there's actually 3 like you today!), and we've endured it for 5 years.
Carlos Castaneda himself warned us about them back in 1995. He named it himself.
Come back when you actually wish you had something good going on in life!
And meanwhile go look for attention elsewhere.
i think i will stick around and take what i can take from you and this group. I'll move elsewhere when i think its time to. otherwise, hit the button. you don't offend me. and i don't see you as an authority figure either.
I'm no authority. Just a visitor her like yourself.
I was blackmailed to do this by "Little Smoke", one of the allies of Carlos.
And you're welcome to stick around. Once in a while, banging someone on the head wakes them up.
And they actually make it to the red zone!
ON this map. This is what you get to do, if you follow instructions.
These were all done by multiple people, except halfway at the bottom and onward.
Anything past that "green station", kicks the Buddha's non-existent ass.
Buddhism is just trivial "green station" effects in ehre, and if you read and study, you'll see that clearly.
We don't make up stuff, because no one has a monetary interest in this!
Some Yogis make it to that "red stationi", but with their eyes closed. And only once or twice in their delusional con artist lives.
We do it all with our eyes wide open, completely sober, and even start breaking the laws of physics just before that tunnel at the bottom right.
Drugs can push you that far, but they do permanent damage which might not be repairable if you do it too many times.
But ONLY sorcerers make it through that tunnel on the right.
Or witches of course.
Reddit hides replies now, so I don't know if I pointed yo to it, but this shows what "seeing" really is, and what's it's like to be able to do it.
It also shows what our Tensegrity does, if you can get silent.
There's absolutely no exaggerations in there.
It even has "Little Smoke" and the "Devil's Weed entity" from the books of Carlos, in there, doing things they did in real life.

i'll check it out. I still have yet to learn the recipe for humito. i've only been able to narrow down two ingredients.
My guess is powdered mushroom mycelium (grown in that har on leaves), Salvia, and something with a high that starts when the salvia wears off, and carries you to when the shrooms kick in.
However, we do what we do WITHOUT drugs, and I have to warn you, if yo udo those too many times, you can't learn what's in here anymore.
At least, not "darkroom".
The drugs burn a "flat spot" in the lower right of that J curve, and it's harder to escape that, then it is to escape the "blue station" everyone is stuck in.
Butt don't forget, to make the mushroom mixture work, you need teh Ally.
She's in here.
Met by many, taught quite a few also.
She created all of this. This subreddit was 5 or 6 years old and only had 500 before Little Smoke took it over.
Now there 9800 and it's filled with real magic, instead of just inspirational quotes from the books.
But just a lesson for you.
The "men of knowledge" are the BAD GUYS.
NOT what we want to be at all.
They never learned to see, they were in it for profit.
So they had to pretend to be "warriors" and follow some bizarre code of honor, like the Mandalorians.
(In Star Wars, the Mandalorians are obviously the men of knowledge.)
You ought to want to learn to SEE. Become a Jedi.
So that you don't need the drugs, don't need the Ally, and don't have to do any long rituals.
Also, FYI, our magic is Olmec.
The Toltecs are just where it ended up after thousands of years of infighting among south american tribes, and it was the last stop for it before the lineages.
So go out and look at Olmec jade figurines, to see what YOU, get to do.
We do in fact shapeshift, drug free.
Here's my favorite: A seer shapeshifted into a Jaguar, riding on his ally.
15 months free of alcohol, nicotine and caffeine are next on the chopping block.
You don't have to give up things to learn sorcery.
In fact, it's a mistake.
Now LATER, when you are so far along no one would even believe you when they ask, "What did you do last night?", at that point you'll find plenty of things to give up.
But you'll have a very good reason!
Such as, I just gave up something so I could time travel more often. Or better said, the evil witch who lives around my home somewhere, forced me to give it up.
I won't mention what, because beginners love to give up stuff rather than do actual work doing the only thing that makes sorcery work.
Getting rid of that internal dialogue.
