When I make stuff like this, even if it's not finished, something "out there" notices, and I get corrections when I practice.
It's a strange thing...
But that motivates me to show unfinished things like this.
This is a VERY rough idea on how to animate "swirling puffs".
Without having to animate each blob, as a separate object.
Might be a mistake. I'll see how accurate I can make this.
It's basically a solid ring of 2 materials. And if it doesn't work, I'll have to use a separate object for each puff, both blue and black.
It reminds me of Daoist prayer beads, minus the oppressive delusions.
Which makes me wonder if you couldn't manufacture some magical prayer beads!
Those I could get behind!!!
Yes...?
But whether you could keep them outside the darkroom, is another matter.
Possibly the kind of thing Cholita might learn to do. If she's in a good mood one of these years, I'll suggest it to her.
She likes bracelets.
I'm afraid I'll have to add some black "aura" also, which amounts to smoke and ashes in my tools. And the levels need to change.
But, in fact, what you see here, as flawed as it is, is INEVITABLE.
At least, I can't see what other way it can go.
Somewhere between "the shift below" where your energy body can be manipulated as blobs of energy, for use in shapeshifting, dream bubble formation, magical object production, and too many other things to even list them, the energy body decides that you are tolerable now, and it begins to swirl close to where your tonal energy is stored.
In those energy pouches.
But why does it do that?
Why do YOU do that? Don't you want to bring your "lucidity" into dreams, and remember to find your hands, so you can explore the dream world like it was a real world?
So why wouldn't the confused version of you, running around lost in infinity, not want to share your tidy world with you, to gain a little more clarity?
It gets lost in the most asinine details! Left to its own devices, it's doomed to spread out thin, staring at pointless features of the dark sea, until it loses any sentience it currently has.
That's part of what happens to non-sorcerers at death.
They get so lost, they aren't even "alive" anymore. No sense of purpose or even feeling of being any different from anything else.
They become background noise in the dark sea.
I suppose that's how the Eagle likes it. He's stocking some kind of giant ocean sized fish pond of latent awareness.
For the benefit of future beings who still have their sentience.
So your "energy body" is in just as bad of a situation as your tonal version, and seeks to merge with you, as much as you seek to merge with it.
And this is what that looks like if you're practicing darkroom.
When that ring of puffs and dark energy finally coallesces into the "blue ball of energy" body, you won't see it anymore.
Unless you raise your arms up to disturb it. In which case it'll be visible again as blue fire puffs you can command to move out into the room.
Thank goodness I don't have to animate that yet.
This is only a test.

For my clarity, energy body is also the double; one and the same?
You mentioned the energy body gets lost in asinine details. That’s also symptomatic for regular dreams; we get distracted and lost in asinine dream details, that’s also the double/energy body getting distracted in those asinine details?
When dreaming, any kind of dream, we are in our energy body? The difference being a regular dream doesn’t have our daily awareness activated, which unites our awareness with the energy body; making it ‘dreaming’?
Yes, and it is indeed very confusing.
I think it's like, a man can be "the president", a husband, a father, and a grandfather.
Yes, any dream is in your energy body, but not necessarily in "the double".
Because you could be someone else in the dream, or just an observer. Or a mix of all three at the same time.
And the difference between an ordinary dream and "dreaming" is how much of your tonal energy comes along.
But it's still all very confusing!
Especially when you realize that you can switch over to your double, with no obvious transition, while doing darkroom.
You're doing darkroom, your legs or arms are sore from it, then you notice a whitish light on the wall, and a bamboo forest forms, and you just walk right through the wall, into another world.
How is that possible?
I have no idea, but the next morning you don't find yourself asleep on the floor, you don't have any bruises, and if you live with an angry witch like I do, she doesn't complain about the crashing noise last night.
Later of course you can "slide horizontally" and switch to your double partially, or slide back and look at him, standing right there.
I believe the warnings in the book not to look at your double, were just a trick to frighten Carlos.
And not true.
Otherwise Tensegrity, where you "form" your energy body in an obvious humanoid shape, would be dangerous.
They were just tricking Carlos, the way they did in the early books.
People get angry about that, but until they can see their own double regularly, it's hard to take their opinions seriously.
It's the book deal mind in action?
The problem for me has been me. I have read the books a few times and am capable regurgitating the books, but I lacked understanding and I wasn’t grasping the basic principles - until recently, now that I’m doing tensegrity with regularity - now things are coming to me like sorceric epiphany’s - lol
I’ve also noticed, my overall mood of late, seems happier and I have more energy and I’m thinking it’s courtesy of Tensegrity and I only know 6 or 7 passes.
As always, thank you for taking time out for me 🙏
Once you have a goal in life of magic that grows daily, and eventually get to move your assemblage point to the "place of no pity" each night, it's transformative.
Humans need a REAL goal in life. The modern ones all fade away and go bad over time.
All unnatural they are.
Humans weren't made to create extended families and cling to granny above all else.
That's just a side effect of agriculture, money, and cities.
But in the wild as we evolved to live, people found their own goals and didn't cling to an artificial environment.
So naturally, even granny was better off... In fact, she might have done the best of all in our natural living situations.
And many, back when we were hunter/gatherers, ended up discovering spirits and realizing they could learn magic directly from those beings.
But be warned: The forces of normal socialization will pull you back, as soon as you stop practicing.
There's no permanent gains in sorcery.
That's an Asian delusion.
The world will pull your assemblage point back where it was, if you don't keep moving it further into magical realms.
When you zoom out, it would appear the world/society is specifically designed to keep us in horse blinders and our AP forever fixed……so we can keep feeding the fliers.
It does indeed seem that way.
Could be that prior to cities, it was impossible to enslave mankind.
With everyone wandering around in the wild, moving constantly, and with very little connection between them.
We were enslaved by the rise of technology.
We are definitely enslaved by tech (as much as I love tech and really want a Tesla Optimus Bot), evolving social norms, as well as our ingrained and communal need to be governed by laws.
The notion of the Flyers Mind, the foreign installation enabling the flyers to feed on my awareness really agitates and sickens me. It feels like a truth I/we as a species choose to ignore.
I suspect once you make it to the orange zone, is where they leave you alone because you don't taste right anymore.
I don't know if you have to remain there permanently, but I doubt it.
Once you experience having the "self" make no sense, but I mean, REALLY experience that, it's the end of the flier's ability to feed off you.
We still find endless ways to piss off our energy however. Can't blame it all on them.
When I read about Flyers and Foreign Installation I understood it as, the Flyers feed on our negativity and negative emotions. Silencing the internal dialogue and controlling our negativity is how we start to break free of them? Simply put.
It's self-pity that they are said to like most.
Our dominating mood since we reached puberty.
Have you seen them?
Yes, once.
But you can see anything you have in your mind in the second attention.
And "The Fliers" are the ultimate "evil clown". We've got all sorts in Ukraine insisting they've seen them. Then using that to bash other people over the head.
The eastern bloc is famous for trouble makers who like to pretend their sorcery.
Although, I can't actually say they have any more than we do here.
And there's reportedly 10 "La Gorda"s running around Mexico.
In my opinion, Carlos told us the truth when he had Amy write that book where he said that the fliers are just a metaphor.
I don't know why people ignore that...
It's a virtue signaling thing I suspect.
I knew CC’s books were popular in Eastern Europe. Could the Slav Squat be considered a Tensegrity major movement? 😂😂 joking….
I’m interested in the tech that DJM/CC gave us. If the Fliers are just a metaphor, it works for me.
Is Amy’s book considered required reading?
It's considered so painful to read that we had to assign poor Lidotska to read it, and summarize it.
I watched Carlos goad h er into writing it for years, not understanding why.
He played her up in private classes as a writer of "contrary books" and discussed "The Sex Lives of the Popes" while laughing with her over the contents.
He artfully set her up to write it.
The purpose was to follow "the Rule", which requires that the lineage blow up the apprentices when it leaves. So that the apprentices have to find a leader, to put themselves back together.
It makes sense. It gives all apprentices a chance to give up and return to normal life, with no regrets.
If they believe the whole thing was evil, or a scam, or a delusion.
In his case however, Cleargreen got greedy and prevented this from happening, by continuing to pretend everything was fine.
And no one came along to bring people back to seriously trying to make it work.
So Little Smoke and Minx blackmailed me.
As a three pronged Nagual his purpose was to end the lineage and CC was also required to disband his party? He’s done a decent job considering the witches and chacmools are still MIA.
Why didn’t he dissolve Cleargreen?
I think it’s in Eagles Gift where Silvio tells CC he has two tasks(?) and one is very obscure. Is there any consensus on what those tasks were, and does the sub know what the obscure task was?
You and Jadey are as close as any of us are gonna get to understanding what Carlos intended.
I haven't figured that out.
But he did in fact try to create a new lineage, using Tony Karam.
Tony was just too obsessed with attention seeking from the Dali Lama.
Tony comes across as very straight/conservative. In his interviews he seems to take issue with CC behaviour with women. AFAIK, he’s never discredited the sorcery.
I'm pretty sure one of the task would have been to teach sorcery to the masses, that's what he seeming spent most of his time and effort doing.
I was thinking same same. Back in the 70’s it would’ve come across as obscure, as the tech to reach the retail masses wasn’t available.
Dear Intent, Please keep helping with these animations. They're so magnificent and inspire us to keep practicing. Thank you.
A poignant point.
I want to get a girlfriend from inorganics and we fall in love, is that possible?
