Looking Off "Me"

/media/1eyiv7t/ambg15dds7kd1.jpg

Be careful not to try this too much until you are UP TO YOUR EARS in visible magic.

Otherwise you'll fake it, even if you don't realize you're doing that.

The world of humans is flooded over with pretend magic, and the natural reaction to hearing something like this, is to make up stuff to get attention.

To take stuff everyone sees anyway, and pretend that's progress. Then pretend to be "enjoying" it, so that you can make your friends jealous.

Man... We humans are pretty awful these days.

However, if real magic presents itself to you, perhaps because you've been doing tensegrity and recap seriously for a while, so that your double becomes interested and you wake up with it the second attention active, go ahead and take advantage.

It's common for people to report waking up and seeing visible magic in the air. So try your best to gaze at it like a gourmet looking at the wax meals in a Japanese restaurant window.

Ignore the dust, just look at the artistry of the wax food.

Savor magic, without interfering with it through "me, me, me". Your greedy internal dialogue which is always looking for attention from others.

Magic of course surrounds you as you get better at Tensegrity done in silence, but there's degrees and flavors to it, and by savoring it you eventually learn that it's not just one "component".

The second attention has aspects to it.

There's the "concrete", which the old seers sought above all else, and thus "the twin positions" technique.

But there's also the "non-human".

And the "irrational".

And "the abstract".

And there's "foreign energy", which isn't exactly the same thing as being non-human.

Carlos spoke about all of these, often.

They're all there, but to begin to understand it you need to gaze at magic longer, and not quickly get distracted by looking for the next thing.

In fact, if you have a 20 minute tensegrity routine but have been advised that it's best to do darkroom for at least 2 hours, how can you stretch 20 minutes to 2 hours?

It's by "savoring" what the tensegrity moves do.

Which is only possible when you actually get it working, and find yourself with no lack of stunning visual effects.

This Reddit thread by Dan and team is the holy grail of information and has a whole section with links on tensegrity/magical passes. Read the books by Carlos (also listed in this subreddit). You must be serious and willing to put in extensive (Dailey and many hours) effort (most aren’t). It’s all here and for free! I have learned in my short journey here it is all about doing vs reading, talking and leaning (taking inventory).

There is a big collection of tensegrity passes for you to learn.

You memorise the moves and you practice them applying inner silence. Also you practice them when doing darkroom.
