Teachings of Don Juan > Meditation.

Just to share my thoughts about a lot of thing that I've being reading for years, like Krishnamurti, Osho, Gurdji eff, Grindberg, etc. and it was 'til I read the Teachings of Don Juan that something changed in me. It wasn't until the last year that for some reason I began to read the other books by Carlos after reading that everything that he wrote was fake, and it resonated with me, more than everything else that I would never have found.

So, I'm just trying to be silent, do some tensegrity, and recently to recap, and boy, there's something there, sometimes I feel like some glimpses of power and energy, with meditation or just "letting go" and trying to be not affected by the world or whatever it made me feel stuck. But everything related to "being a warrior" and things like life is a constant fight was mindblowing tbh, it is just like you can't ignore the lessons anymore.

Meditation is an asian scam.

Praying produces the same results, and hitting the snooze button in the morning beats either for strange experiences.

There's no Buddhist master who ever lived, no Yogi, no Kabbalist, no Daoist, no Suffist, or any other thing I've been able to find, or which Carlos was able to find with 20+ years of searching everywhere, who even has a tiny clue what's going on.

It's just a sad fact of life that once money was invented, anything pretending to explain consciousness exists only for stealing.

Which becomes obvious if you do a good job actually researching the history of a topic.

Bottom line: You can't make money telling people to do what really works: Fully STOP the internal dialogue.

So meditation systems imply interrupt it, with something else.

That's enough to produce a few weird sensations, some visions, and a feeling of "oneness" or heavenly like "consciousness".

But all of that isn't even beginners level in here.

Carlos made this map for us.

Anything you can think of, other than Castaneda, falls in that "Green Station" at the top.

I suppose some Yogis make it to t he red station on that map, but those Yogis are drug users.

Just doing what south american shamanism does, using "power plants" to move their assemblage point to that "red station" on the map.

Here's the map:

Here's a cartoon showing what's going on and where meditation stops:

Here's the kind of fun thing you can learn to do if you move your assemblage point to the other side of your body, and into alignment with that of your energy body:

Here's 3 ways to time travel. Some of us do at least one of these methods daily.
