I was watching silent knowledge last night, and saw this (sort of).
So I made it.
By the way, Minx really does steal stuff.
One might think that's not possible, but Carlos came close to verifying it, in a joking way.
"The Disappearing Spot" was a topic in private classes for a week or two, and Carlos warned people not to accuse the inorganic beings of stealing stuff, if they didn't.
We've also been told how they kidnap seers. First they kidnap your double, then later a bunch of them go back for the physical matter. I've calculated they can only move 2 ounces of weight, which still allows them to hold you down on the ground if you fall flat.
But their ability to lift weight is likely exponential, rather than linear. So that 10 of them can carry away the body of an adult male.
Just my guess, but it's based on observations of them and not on rank speculation.
I've noticed they'll try to trap you in their world, by leaving "precious" objects in your path.
YOu find yourself in their world, and there on the ground is something you wanted for a long time.
Right there! Just pick it up.
I presume, if you take the object which you do not own from their world, the punishment is imprisonment.
But since you can't imprison them, the rule doesn't apply if they take something.
Which Minx will...

Why do inorganic organisms want to trap you in their world
Same reason you want to trap one in your world!
It's pretty cool to be around aliens.
And there's benefits of being trapped with them, since our awareness needs a container to live past death, or it spreads out too thin while exploring the multiverse, and is no longer sentient.
So if they "trap" you, you get to live millions of years.
But in some kind of virtual reality as far as we can tell.
"The land of the Brujos" for example.
Or that "shack by the river" in the case of Carlos and Carol.
Just don't steal from them.
And that includes during darkroom. Unknown to beginners, sometimes you're "somewhat" inside their world while practicing, which can become visible if you can see the walls in the darkness.
If you see an object next to a wall like that, or embedded in such a wall, better leave it alone.
But if you don't obviously see their world (looks like a reddish cave if it's Fairy's world), "objects" are fun.
Always pick those up!
If you can...
Can you create your own container?
And can the container you create be non physical ?
Yes, the old seers did that. Somewhere near Mexico city, 4 of them buried themselves under a huge rock, mutated their energetic shape to be more like inorganic beings (spirits), and then took their own spirits with them under the rock, so that it's now 4 "old seers" with 12 "Allies".
the large rock attracts hikers, and if they camp out there, the old seers and their 12 allies attack and suck them dry of energy.
Murder them to get more energy for themselves.
They're likely around 1000 years old at this point.
You can also turn yourself into a tree. We have a tensegrity pass for that.
Which is one reason it's a good idea to try to learn the tensegrity. It's filled with magical techniques, such as how to turn into a tree and live 5000 years.
Hi Dan - I have a question about the Easton Press signed version of Art of Dreaming - could you please PM me?
Sorry off topic!
I don't do that anymore. The result of years of experience with a lot of people.
I actually answered a guy on facebook a couple of days ago, against my better judgement.
Because he seemed sincere.
Now I regret it... he's a first 3 book guy asking me how to become "available to power".
Instead of asking how to get to work as soon as possible.
I understand - I am actually curious how and why that book signing came about. I am a book collector, and the books have meant a lot to me in my lifetime. Not trying to do any end arounds. No worries if you aren’t comfortable discussing with a stranger. I do enjoy reading your perspective and thanks for your reply. Take care.
Y si, por ejemplo, Minx te roba tu caja roja de herramientas ¿podrías ir a buscarla a su mundo, esperarías a que la devuelva o simplemente la darías por perdida?
I've never found anything Minx stole, but once in a while I catch it moving away and grab it.
Not often enough for my taste! I love it when the laws of physics seem not to be functioning.
Cholita is the one who could answer that question, but she despises this subreddit.
Doesn't like competition.
jajaja que traviesa, salta como un canguro cuando se lleva las cosas también? Debe ser hipnótico ver cómo se van las cosas hasta que te percatás que las está robando jajaja
Que pena que Cholita desconfíe del foro, ella quería que le pagues por usar su nombre en el subreddit o algo así ? Tal vez esté delirando con el recuerdo jajaja
Creés que Cholita alguna vez cambie de opinión? Sería interesante escuchar sus historias de cuándo decidió desaparecer y vivir en su auto
Her mother never recovered as far as I know. They had to keep her in her apartment in Mexico City.
It's unlikely Cholita will get better.
But her double is perfectly fine!
Perhaps like Zuleica.
¿Qué podrías teorizar de su enfermedad? ¿Suele tomar medicación o prefiere evitarla?
Es curioso que su doble esté bien pero suena bien. ¿Su doble actúa como actuaría Cholita sin síntomas de su enfermedad o sólo es como una parte de Cholita?
People with severe schizophrenia usually refuse to take meditation, until they crash so low they have no choice.
Cholita only medicates with cigars, once in a while.
And her double is like her when she was younger. Perhaps 20 or so.
I don't know if you could say it's "sane" because the last time I visited with it, it was leaping across the tall power poles behind our home.
Insisting I had to follow.
Consume infusiones Cholita? Tal vez alguna hierba la ayude con su condición. No sabría cómo afectaría el uso de hierbas en brujas y/o en personas con esquizofrenia como Cholita pero, testeando con infusiones, noto que la manzanilla (Chamaemelum nobile) junto con el burrito (Aloysia polystachya) más algo de cafeína mueven el punto de anclaje hacia la zona verde. Similar al estado que está uno cuando se despierta por la mañana.
Las venden para preparar tés. Tal vez Cholita se interese más por infusiones, como con el tabaco, que por pastillas.
She doesn't talk to me at all, so you're very confused about the situation.
No way to tell her about that, and if I wrote it down, she'd throw it in the trash to avoid being contaminated by it.
Everyone always assumes I can just walk up to her and say something.
Nope.
Last night when I got home, her black cat was guarding her, wagging it's long tail angrily at me.
I wasn't sure why it was doing that, until I realized that Cholita had hidden her car, thus it wasn't in the driveway, and was hiding herself in the bathroom. And wouldn't answer when I asked if that were her in there.
In the morning her car was back, but when I drove off for work, one of her pet skunks jumpe out in front of my car, so I couldnt' avoid runnign it over.
I got out to see how it was doing, and there was nothing there.
That would be the third time I ran into a suicidal skunk which can often be seen wandering in Cholita's garden.
And twice I ran into suicidal squirrels.
Unless anything thinks that 5 suicidal animals, all seen in our yard, and then running under my car wheels on the road, is just a coincidence.
It's her Ally Minx.
I'm just not sure what that black cat really is.
Maybe just a cat she bewitched.
It tore a bird in half for her. A blue jay that was pestering her over the rights to the part of the garden under the huge fig tree.
Ripped in half down the middle.
Jajajaja no puedo evitar reírme de que Cholita sea tan "mala".
Pensaba que Cholita te hablaba, o por lo menos para pedirte quehaceres, pero ahora entiendo el trato que lleva con vos.
¿Decís que Cholita, con los escarabajos, hace que Minx cambie de forma a un zorrillo? ¿O crees que los zorrillos que se acercan (por los escarabajos) provocan un cambio de forma en Minx?
Es gracioso también cómo Cholita pone en tu contra a cada ser que pueda jajaja... desde el gato enigmático hasta Minx, falta que te ataquen los pájaros también 😁
I have no idea...
But at one point she had hundreds of beetles all over the yard, and even in the house (in my room only), and skunks started coming around.
Then after that I started encountering suicidal skunks.
One even attacked me at work, 2 miles away from our home. I had to ride an electric bike to work because my car was being repaired, and the skunk lurched out and tried to knock me off it.
Animals are weird around real witches.
The orange cat next door had a feud going with her for a year before she got tired of it, after which the cat was killed in a freak truck accident that was so unlikely, it make the neighbors laugh when they told me what happened.
As for the bird torn in half, that was likely the black cat who hangs out with her.
That same bird was up on a street light shouting at me a couple of days before, looking towards the yard where Cholita was likely hanging out. It was very clear it was warning me about something. I spoke to it, and rather than fly away like a bird would normally do on getting too much human attention, it just kept shouting.
Cholita had locked that blue jay in the fireplace a couple of years earlier, and I had to let it out.
A few days later, there was the right half of the bird on the lawn near the front door, where I would be sure to see it.
I left it there, not knowing why Cholita might have put it there. Or the cat did.
The next day it was gone.
Then the next day both halves were back, arranged close together, to show that it was indeed torn in half nearly right down the middle.
Stuff like that happens when you live with crazy witches.
But it's nothing new. The witches in the early books were like that.
They even had "corn kernel magic".
I suspect Cholita has some of those...
