This is what Tensegrity looks like after your energy body forms, but before your normal reality merges with the dream world so that things get REALLY strange.
You only get to this stage of seeing your energy body, if you learn to remove your internal dialogue enough to start seeing the "purple puffs" that Tensegrity manipulates.
Your energy body forms a few months later, after you've gotten your assemblage point to switch sides on the body.
But if you never learn to get rid of that internal dialogue, you'll never see how the Tensegrity actually works.
THIS IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION!
In fact, if this is all I saw on a given night of practicing, I'd be disappointed and figure I must have wasted energy during the day.
Or perhaps I didn't get enough "sunlight glitter".
On such days, just remember that "sustained action" will resolve any blocks you run into along the way.
This is "disjointed" because I've run out of continuous tensegrity forms to give to my animators.
This one is taken from a training session with Jadey. But it wasn't continuous so my animators had to cut pieces from it.
I'm afraid, nearly all of the tensegrity out there is contaminated with pretend movements.
And anyone who learned after Carlos was gone, has likely never learned any real tensegrity unless it was something they could verify in the Magical Passes book, or by watching DVD1, DVD2, and DVD3.
DVD4 has made up stuff...

Is there copies of the original DVDs listed somewhere? I used to have an ISO copy of tensegrity videos that I believe featured the shorthaired woman in black workout clothes from the book, but I lost it several years ago on old hard drive that was physically damaged and I have been hoping to find another copy of it again.

Thank you! It will be nice to get back into them again :)
Think they are still up on archive.org as well.
All but DVD4 are the real thing.
Emphasize Kylie's attitude.
You don't have to, but it's not a bad choice at first.
Later, when you see amazing magic, you can get "bendy".
That's my attitude.
Bendy.
Meaning, once you can see the energy and begin to realize why Tensegrity works, you'll notice what part of the movement is actually doing the most to produce magic, and you'll emphasize that, mostly out of greed.
It's a bit like going to the same Las Vegas all you can eat Buffet, until eventually as a "pro", you walk past all the salad bar and desert distractions they set up to save money, and head straight for the meat.
Of course, another option is to head straight for the deserts...
The main thing, when it comes to Tensegrity, is that it MUST BECOME REAL, if you want to begin to explore real magic. You have to get past theorizing.
As a beginner with an understanding of the concepts of the magic your are presenting here, having read and contemplated the books for many years but only implementing and using things that worked for me, with little or no practice doing the actual tensegrity or darkroom or any of the things you talk about here, Should I be trying any tensegrity pass to start off? or do you have suggestions for a few that are most basic and “easy” to remember and consistently do? It feels overwhelming looking at all the different passes and the small moves they contain I think it would help to have a beginners series so to speak, to get one’s body and mind more likely to continue. Life saver pass seems like a good start. Im setting up a small darkroom In the bathroom of my old trailer, tired of pretending on hoping for the magic to show up.
Here's a few that's dead easy (well, I found them easy as a beginner), 1) the recapitulation head sweep, 2) the Dreaming passes, 3) Zuleica's pass.
You NEED lifesaver pass. I believe it closes your "gap", although Jadey never heard Carlos say that. Someone said Kylie said that, but so far no one found any workshop lecture notes confirming it.
But it makes sense. Carlos said if you only do 1 pass, do that one.
And it's FULLY VISIBLE once you can remove your internal dialogue.
It's also a very good idea to learn Stellar Hatch, since it contains 2 "death defier" techniques. How to turn into a tree and live a few thousand years, and how to stretch into an infinite line, and go live somewhere we can't even conceive of.
Plus, it eventually leads you to the non-human unknown of dead stars.
(or live ones).
VISIBLY!!! Nothing is pretending once you get rid of that internal dialogue, long enough for your assemblage point to be freed from being stuck.
Beyond that, I don't like to recommend Tensegrity forms.
It's best if we have a wide variety of forms being practiced by people who can actually see the results.
There's a LOT of real magic hidden in those, perhaps even a lot of old seer magic passed to our lineage via that 8000 year old sorcerers they took in around 400 years ago.
Was it 400?
I can't recall.
Our lineage is 800+ years old.
Thanks very much. I ended up staying up all night reading as many posts and whatnot as possible I realize my question was silly and already answered many times. It’s obvious to me at this point the only way forward is to put in the work and forget the theorizing.
It's funny, I was reading this part in the book yesterday. Castabena was talking about the social Strife that surrounds women. And how they started to allow women to practice these specific passes. But that they'd already been practising it "on the sly"
