I was doing a tensegrity form last week looking at the extreme magic they produce when you reach Silent Knowledge, when I looked off to the side and saw an entryway.
"That's new!" a voice said.
I understood it to be an addition caused by "energetic mass", the very thing Carlos had been trying to achieve with workshops. Both to save his life, and to make it easier for us to perceive real magic while doing tensegrity.
He never got enough for that, but he did get access to new energetic configurations that even don Juan couldn't reach, perhaps allowing him to find a path to immortality.
In our cases we need to become more conscious of what Tensegrity contains, and realize what caused the tensegrity to fail to produce the magic it's designed to produce, for all of these years. Even decades.
No one was serious enough! We had Kylie, but she was taken away.
You REALLY have to be completely serious about doing it correctly. And with the right attitude. Which we have not been.
And unfortunately these days people just make up whatever they like, having either forgotten the originals, or not caring due to greed, and they sell fake tensegrity moves to others for money.
It's a very sad situation.
The next day after I noticed something in one of the forms had changed, I was reminded of Laura's online tensegrity classes.
With nothing but serious people.
Could that be what altered the outcome of that form?
Certainly it's what Carlos was after. For the tensegrity to be transformed by storing the intent of serious practitioners, who could hold some level of silence while doing it.
Hopefully over time we'll be able to accomplish what Carlos could not, due to his life being cut short. And produce enough "group energetic mass" to make it possible even for beginners to perceive the levels of magic tensegrity naturally produces, when you have no internal dialogue focusing your attention back onto your own history and worries.

So the next step would be to pool people's practice time and group them into time blocks? I think most people probably already practice together at times, or at least overlap. I have thought about this overlap before with communicating or perhaps seeing other practitioners but not tensegrity. This sounds fun, we'll, I practice from 10-1 am., shitty time cos I'm usually tired but I've had poor success with waking up at 3am and going till 6
No one knows what to do next. This has never happened before.
But it's not the best idea to cause people to think they're working hard based on giving up things or joining groups with fixed schedules, when the only hard work which produces results is learning to remove the internal dialogue and then deliberately trying to view the second attention as much and as long as you can, daily.
That's where all other magical groups go wrong. Wanting more people who are better organized, so that they can get more money, and not caring if anyone is actually learning the magic they pretend to have.
That didn't even work out for Carlos! Not a single person learned by that workshop and regular group practice sessions method.
In fact, we nearly lost it all to pretending.
Learning for real only comes from serious individual efforts done daily.
Here's a picture which tries to show the situation. If you can't "look directly into the second attention", there's no progress at all.
Tensegrity is NOT Chi Gung. When we say "energy" we mean something entirely different.
No magic, no progress.
The online practice Daniel is referring to is at 9pm Argentinian time, daily. Most people is on Meet, but it is also broadcasted over YouTube live. Anyone is welcome to attend.
Hey, do you have a link to the YouTube live channel please?
This is Jadey's channel, where the live will take place at 9pm Argentinian time.

Aw that's a shame...it's midnight where I am. :(
I think plenty would encourage you to try it out anyways. Doing tensegrity late at night can increase the effect (as long as you pursue inner silence by shutting off your internal dialogue).
Here is Dan's introductory post for you from the wiki:

Absolutely, will give it a go. Found a couple vids on YouTube.
Daniel, what are you doing? Isn't a professional magician in the secret knowledge dangerous? He can give all the top secret secrets of a country like America to China or Russia and help them in the war. Later, magicians will become many and powerful. How are you going to stop the crime and crime caused by witchcraft? The Russians will also die in the war! America's secret information is nothing! What plan do you have to control these things?
Being able to do the real thing requires removing the internal dialogue, which transforms you.
We see a huge difference in here between new people whose minds are super noisy like yours, and those who worked hard to learn to remove it and are no longer motivated by ordinary rewards.
As don Juan said when asked if there's such a thing as a kungful blow that kills you a day later, yes.
A seer could do that.
But by the time they could, none would.
Carlos himself said that no real witch is interested in proving anything, to anyone else.
You're think of greedy motivations.
You can't learn real magic if you still have those.
The ancient seers were stronger than you, Daniel, but they were evil. If they existed today, the world would be hell.
As if the world isn't already hell for the vast majority of human beings? Songs are dedicated to ending poverty, hunger, and bringing about world peace; people are powerless... including yourself. The political situation is a hell-hole due to that.
I don't think there's anything left in the world with witchcraft. One of my goals is to kill you. Understand. Wake up.
It's got to be a sufi infection going on here.
At any rate, Cholita tries to kill me with magic from time to time.
But I look forward to any magic I didn't have to earn through my own efforts.
So typically she just gets a critique of her methods.
The world is 'hell', we are in a predatory universe, after all. Besides it makes sense for the old seers to have been the way they are or as in your perception 'evil'.
I suspect the "Men of Knowledge" were their primary enemies, and perhaps well deserved if you ask me.
Sort of like the orange cat Cholita cursed, which was killed in a freak truck accident.
It really had that coming! I was there, and saw the little war the cat declared on her.
Cats are weird around real witches.
Likewise the Men of Knowledge could easily have made big pests of themselves, as far as how they dealt with the real thing, namely the old seers.
They were profiteers who likely spoke ill of them, to increase their own business prospects.
Perhaps roughly like Howard Lee going around telling people, "Carlos went bad", and then setting up his own workshops selling Daoist pretend magic he claims will let you live to 150.
I won't be surprised if all 4 of the Cleargreens eventually condemn me.
I'm a threat to their profit margins.
This user has been banned from the subreddit for 3 years, based on this comment, and on the following one from them, which was deleted by the mods.
The good ol "killing people to show that killing people is evil" moral highground. Your argument makes no sense, anyway. There are millions of people who have blades, firearms, vehicles, knowledge of chemistry, etc, and they've managed not to become infected by "ThisImportantThingIsWorthKillingOver" ideas and act impulsively. The world already is hell. What the experienced people who practice say is that they can see other worlds. If you saw another world, I wonder if you would still care about this one so much?

Everyone is under the delusion that everyone is under an infinite amount of time.
Don Juan says the same thing.
There is almost nothing that gets better with time—that is just an underhanded manipulation constructed by older individuals, who thereby wasted all their energy on bullshit, using it as a justification to feel superior about themselves.
Unbending Intent is absolute; the concept, and actualization, of Freedom is "absolute."
I don't understand anything else—neither do I want to.
Let's say, since I have balls, I delete my account and leave this place forever; that way, I prove my "genuineness," but you lose me forever. I am incredibly stupid.
Leaving people in limbo is exactly counter-intuitive shit--my "stupidity" has more Spirit in it.
Flip a coin or something—leave it to powers outside of my control; since then I can have the decision made for me and focus my unbending intent elsewhere.
Make a decision—or I'll make one for you.
I have no problems taking myself out.
"I officially quit this place for this exact reason, See you in two years or something. Or just permanently ban me. I want it."
"I'll leave a parting gift for you, so I don't get hit with the "you don't know anything" when I return."
Your intent was not clear right from the outset, you left options open.
And now you changed your mind a second time. The first time you announced to intent, you said "for two years" and now it's forever.
Bans are only necessary when other practitioners can get disturbed, and since no one can see any post you make without mod approval (since Reddit finds you suspect and automatically removes every post you make) there is no need to ban you on your say-so.
The only people who see a comment from you are mods (and Dan is not a mod either) and we were waiting to see if you could quit on your own initiative until three days ago.
If you want to leave the subreddit for two years, why not just do so, instead of all the rigamarole and coercion? I've taken a month or so off from the subreddit to practice before... Two years is a bit too much for me as it stands, but maybe eventually.
Who delete my comment and why? Techno?
