New people wanting to follow intent?

I don't know about health, but in heightened awareness, you feel really good.

You have meditation "bliss" all the time. Also, you're 100% relaxed (within reason), because you're technically sleep walking.

It's also going to help de-emphasize (shrink) the tonal, which is said to produce a stronger and younger body.

I can't verify any of that other than, in heightened awareness you feel really good.

And, Carlos died of liver cancer, so it didn't help him out.

On the other hand, he was ill before, and managed to "jump grooves", which seems to mean, you assemble a slightly different version of this world, where you don't have the illness.

I suspect that all that is possible, but it would take so long to figure out how to do it, that it's not a very useful health aide.

What have you done so far, with Carlos' material? Maybe you have a "hook" to get to heightened awareness faster.

People who have practiced meditation of any kind, and regularly feel "bliss", or have a vision of the room with their eyes closed, or even just see something odd, like hypnogogic images, or a flash of a quick dream, are right at the door already. They usually just don't have anyone telling them to cross over.

People who pray and see light, or regularly feel the presence of a higher entity, have a hook. Hopefully the higher entity is Mary. I hear she was kind of pretty.

(I wanted to say "hot", but just like Carlos, I'm still afraid of God.)

Doing yoga, and resting on the mat afterwards, and feeling really high, is right at the door.

A jogging high might be a hook. I'm too lazy to jog, but the high sounds like the beginnings of heightened awareness. And it makes sense if you think about the energy centers in the calfs, and how jogging would force your internal dialogue to modify a bit.

But, you have to cross over.

Having a hook is like driving past McDonald's.

You get no tasty burger unless you park for a while.

Crossing over means, not holding yourself back from drifting further into whatever hook you've found.

That comes from doing it as often as you can, so you can learn how to go one way or the other.

The fastest way to heightened awareness however, is to practice falling asleep while sitting in a chair. Try to learn to fall asleep, and wake up the instant your head tips.

About 30 of those will teach you how to activate a mild form of the second attention.

Yes, I made up the 30 count. But it matches what I've seen from people who write to me.

You start with intent by wanting something abstract. Like, what you mentioned.

To learn dreaming and to participate in the warriors way is abstract. Wanting a new refrigerator is not.

Unless you need that new fridge in order to accomplish something else, which is abstract.

Once you have the abstract desire, you go outside and shout "Intent!!!" to the sky, to set it in motion.

It’s a good thing you have to do that too! Imagine if intent was reading our minds, and tried to help with any abstract thought we had.

Are beautiful women abstract? If they were, I’d be doomed.

I’ve always been a little shy about shouting “Intent!!!” in public, so I do it on the freeway when I go through the underpass. That doesn’t seem to weaken the effect.

And driving is a good time to practice silence, so you can be a “freeway warrior” if you feel inclined.

Carlos actually had us shout “Intent!!!”, so don’t think it’s just for psychological effect. There really seems to be some conscious force in the universe that wants to play the game with us.

Or if there isn’t, then it’s a magnificent not-doing, and will work all the same. It could turn out in the long run, that our own Nagual is behind everything.

Some in here have seen the amazing coincidences that happen once you engage intent. Plus you can learn to manifest objects with it!

And no, so far they don’t stick around for me. Forget the gold bars for now. But manifesting objects is still amazing.

How many times to shout Intent? Does more than 1 make it stronger?

I would think not, but I’m sure there’s no harm if you want to shout it several times.

There was the time when Carlos made fun of one woman whom he claimed was out in the backyard at Pandora, shouting “Intent!!!!” all night like a cat in heat.

My guess: She shouted it a few times instead of 1, to get more attention. And Carlos was having a little trouble with her, but liked her.

So he exaggerated her into a story for the private class. She got praise and criticism at the same time.

I think she’s also the ant lady.

Now that I mentioned that, go find some tiny ants, and lie naked in their path. Add some chaos to the mix, and you might please intent. It likes humour.

Finding hands: You can borrow energy from someone who is enthusiastic, and tells you about it. That's good for a 1 nighter.

In other words, it's not useful, but it gives anyone interested a taste.

Intent is like that. Sometimes it gives you a taste of something wonderful, and you think to yourself, “I’m all set now!”

But you aren’t. It was just a one time gift. You have to work for more.

To get dreaming, I can think of 2 methods that are workable (but not easy).

You can completely disrupt your life so that it’s all jumbled up, and you aren’t doing what you usually do.

That releases a little unused energy. As it turns out, we live off the energy of the position of our assemblage point. When you learn to move it, you’ll discover what that energy feels like.

I have a theory that we die, because we use up all the positions we have access to. We get weaker and weaker as we age, because we’ve almost used it all.

And people who engage in more unusual activities seem to remain youthful longer.

But it’s just my theory. Carlos never said so.

So aside from getting yourself tossed into jail, or some other method to completely disrupt your routines, you can try to mess with them gently.

Go left instead of right. Have vanilla instead of chocolate.

Don’t try to get in the last word.

All of those will help a little. But silence is the best method that I know of.

When your internal dialogue is reduced, you gain energy.

That gives you many more chances to find your hands in dreaming.

Don’t doubt that things will change if you learn to reduce that internal dialogue.

I have a person writing to me who’s pretty much a bad man. It’s sort of hard to read what he thinks about things.

But I don’t judge personalities, or I’d just go sit in a corner and cry. I’m autistic, so who am I to say what’s ok behavior?

Fortunately, he learned to get silent and his bad personality changed.

Pretty soon I’ll have to call him “Saint Bob”.

As a result, he got far more dreaming. He saved all the energy we use up, hating everyone and feeling sorry for ourselves all day.

He learned to get silent by sitting in a chair, trying to curtail his internal dialogue as best he could.

My advice on that is FORCE yourself silent, if you can manage that.

If you can’t, then do it gently, but for a longer time.

Like 1 hour the first time. You have to get over the idea that you’re too precious to spend your time on such a senseless task. When you stop looking at the clock, you’re almost there.

That’s what he did. I had to listen to complaints about 20 minutes being so long at first.

But eventually he stopped watching the time. And he naturally got bored doing that, fell asleep, his head bobbed down, and he woke back up.

I’d alerted him to watch for the transition in the middle. That’s where you want to be.

He repeated it over and over, until he found that place in the middle.

That’s where dreaming is active while you are awake. It’s the “second attention”.

If you want dreaming, you need to learn what that is as fast as possible.

Learn what the second attention is, and you’ll also learn what the assemblage point is.

Myself, I would have wanted to enter dreaming directly from that place.

But he just remained at that level. He seemed to enjoy just swimming in it.

Despite not learning to do dreaming awake from there, by choice, he still got the benefit.

It activated many more chances to find his hands in dreaming.

Once you find your hands, you MUST learn to change dreams. Right away!

Don’t find your hands, then look around and say, “This is really cool! I’m going to have to write a story about it, and tell all of my friends!”

If you do, time is up. You’ll wake up.

Instead, if you find your hands you have to say, “Holy Shit! I’ve only got a few more seconds. I’d better change dreams fast!”

I wrote about how to change dreams in many places. If you don’t know any methods, let me know.

But you could sum up what you need to do in dreaming, by thinking about those coconut traps for monkeys.

They make a hole small enough that the monkey can just barely squeeze his hand in there. And they put rice in the coconut.

The monkey grabs the rice, but can’t get his hand out. And he’s too greedy to let go of the rice.

You have to be like that monkey in dreaming. Too stubborn to let go.

Once you learn to hold on and change dreams so that you have unlimited time, you’ll eventually conquer the gates of dreaming.

But it takes a positive effort. You can’t just wait around to find your hands.

No one seems to have ever done good at that. There’s just no reason to expect our dull consciousness to wake up in a dream, unless we do something while awake to make it more alert and energetic.

Unwarranted Depression and Anxiety are mostly a result of the internal dialogue. I’m sure there’s a bio-chemical component, but our biology seems to regulate better when we get a taste of the Nagual once in a while.

If I go without gazing in darkness for too many days, I start to feel less than wonderful. I get fussy and uncomfortable.

But if I get a taste of the nagual at night, then I’m high all day. I can even work continuously for many hours, like a Zen monk being hazed by a master.

It doesn’t even occur to me to feel sorry for myself, if I had that taste of the nagual, and maintain silence while working.

You’ll get high from that as in, you just won the lottery and your old girlfriend is coming for a visit.

Those highs are mental. They’re caused by an idea in your mind.

The nagual is even more effective at producing that high. It’s more than just an idea in your mind.

Consuming too much time on YouTube?

Got a good porn channel you’d recommend? I just got internet at home, for Cholita. And I’m amazed at what kids in junior high get to watch these days.

But don’t cut out entertainment in order to be a “warrior”!

Cholita got that idea from private classes. And she also cut out candy, coffee, alcohol, and shopping at reasonably priced grocery stores.

She’s a Whole Foods saint!

And yet, last night after filling 2 shopping carts, she was shouting how much she despises me in the shopping mall parking lot. And cursing at passersby for stealing her stuff.

Being a “saint” didn’t work out for her.

Just watch the TV, eat the bad stuff, but practice.

Just practice.

Those things are only bad because they tend to use up all of our practice time.

If they don’t, then they’re fine.

I really like cold showers. I started first, really, with finding inner silence.

Then you're in luck!

There really is a "nagual". It's a second copy of yourself.

And it's not even hard to experience!

You just have to pick something, and concentrate on making it work.

But if you try to live on inspirational quotes from Carlos' books, and the idea that you're now an impeccable warrior, you'll probably get nowhere.

It's like learning to juggle. You can't read about juggling and learn it.

You actually have to practice.

You can definitely experience the Nagual by following Zuleica's technique. Or probably just about any of the others, except it's kind of nice to have someone telling you that what you're doing will work, and has worked for others.

We don't have a double being to move our assemblage points, so the experience is a little more gradual than what Carlos wrote about.

But it still works.

[deleted]

Teaching opportunity!

Sorry if it doesn’t exactly flow from your quote, but I need to say this once in a while. You're the victim of the day.

Stopping the world doesn’t make you feel fine.

It’s rather disturbing in fact.

But you get a sense of optimism, as you would from any important hobby if you’d done something that requires advanced skills.

The "path with heart" is merely the chance to feel optimistic all the time.

And being in heightened awareness makes you feel blissful, but you get used to it.

I’ve gotten into some drag down knock out arguments with Cholita, while in heightened awareness.

So bliss doesn’t even give you patience. Zen masters are famous for being very poor husbands. Not only do they lose patience with their wives, but they feel entitled to chastise them as much as they want.

They're enlightened! So they're always right.

"The Nagual" everyone wants back (the second attention's energy body) is rather creepy.

It’s not cozy, so if you think you’re going to hug it, forget it. It's inhuman.

All in all, I believe it's fair to say, sorcerers still suffer from the same little problems as other people. The sorcery doesn’t fix their problems.

If they have an advantage, it’s not being too lazy to fix theirs, and other people's, problems.

In silence, you can work like a Zen Monk initiate at the most horrible Monastery in Japan, where they literally work you to death.

Also, if you are silent most of the time, your internal dialogue isn’t stuck in a suffering loop.

But you’ll still suffer. Cholita gives me absolute misery at times. Two days ago she got angry in a distant shopping mall parking lot, and jumped into a car and took off.

I have no idea who picked her up. She just showed up at my home when I got back.

It messed me up energetically in such a painful way, I doubt non-sorcerers can even imagine it. After a full day of suffering over it, it then took all night for my stomach muscles to relax.

So forget about being a saint.

Remember Carol Tigg's prayer to God, to give her endless suffering?

That's closer to sorcery, than sainthood is.

When Carlos was finally dying, perhaps 2 weeks before it actually happened, he had the Chacmools lock us in at Dance Home, alone.

I don’t know what the excuse was, but in fact he wanted to talk to me.

He said he was dying, and no one believed him.

I guess he wanted a witness to be able to tell people, yes, he really died.

He told me so himself.

And if that wasn't enough, somewhere slightly before that, he gave me the famous Kung Fu movie gag, a "half a pear". In Chinese, it implies a master and student being separated.

He made a big deal out of presenting it to me at his Pandora Complex, and then I was told to go home.

He wanted to make sure the point would remain in my memory as a puzzling mystery I'd tell people, until someone Chinese heard about it and explained it to me.

He died. Double witnesses too. That part was kind of Catholic I suppose.

But more than that, as a result of witnessing his unfortunate demise, I’ve learned to be a little irreverent in order to prevent future dying sorcerers from not being believed.

The saddest part was, because he died of illness many of his former supporters piled on him, saying he was a fraud because he couldn’t save himself.

And that he must have done something bad, to get liver cancer.

Some Russians were even blaming it on power plants!

I guess there’s a lot of Whole Foods Sorcerers out there.

Hi lazy, I'm Dad!

Im kind of in love with their blank presence.

That's a great description. Blank.

I’m probably going to have to steal that!

I’m not clear on where you encountered one, but let’s talk about inorganic beings being present in dreams.

Carlos didn’t really go into that much. And even his last book, where he tells how to identify one by staring it down, doesn’t make it clear if that’s good for both waking, and dreaming encounters.

Yes, some of those dream characters, especially the persistent ones who want to push up against you, are actually inorganic beings.

Your mom? A childhood school teacher? An evil mix of your mom and a school teacher?

Almost surely inorganic beings, if they stick around a long time.

I guess Carlos never mentioned that in classes, because it leads to all kinds of imaginary troubles in apprentices. We have those lecture notes where he told one woman that her too long description of her dream meant it likely came from the liver.

He was doing a bit of stalking in those lecture notes.

But it wasn’t just her. He almost surely got sick of listening to long explanations of the wonderful dream someone had last night, being surrounded by so many apprentices as he was.

Any of you who try to teach lucid dreaming to friends will be familiar with the long accounts they come back with, of ordinary dreams.

They miss the key point: lucidity. That’s the reason for looking at the hands. Proof of lucidity.

Maybe the long tales of ordinary dreams, is why Carlos put the kibosh on giving us more details about what’s really present in our dreams.

Since he never mentioned it, how do I know they’re inorganic beings?

Because the darned things can follow you out into the waking world!

That pretty much qualifies for me.

In a dream, you might say, we’ll, that’s just like a video. It’s all coming from your mind. So it’s crazy to think some of the characters are real.

But when they follow you out and are standing there, with you awake now and sitting up on the bed in horror, that’s definitely an “inorganic being”.

It’s a being, with no organic body.

Doesn’t have to be the little smoke, or the lizard ally or something so wonderful that us mere mortals will never encounter one.

And the flow of allies between waking and dreaming goes both ways.

Carlos allies have followed me into dreaming a number of times.

It’s always horribly frightening, and one wouldn’t even think to use the word, “blank” to describe such an encounter.

And yet, that’s what they are, if you calm down and watch them without fear.

Someone in here coined the phrase (which I also stole), “low energy inorganic being”.

That’s all I suspect you’ll find, until I find a way to share Carlos’ allies with people who make good progress.

That means, the ones you encounter will likely be a lot less scarier than the ones I’ve seen.

What advantage can you get from low energy inorganic beings in dreaming?

Just hang out with them. They’re presence stabilizes the dream.

They want the energy released by your emotions.

You want their dark energy.

It’s a good arrangement.

The main problem you have then, is to retain your sense of purpose.

Your lucidity will get messed up by interacting with them. But it’ll probably last longer than if you just went off on your own.

So the first time you become lucid and realize you’ve been sitting next to someone and conversing with them for a while, but then you realize they never actually said anything, it was all you, just keep it going.

Don’t get up and leave. See what happens.

But if you wake up in a dream and are in some kind of hostile situation with a dreaming character, that’s when it’s a good idea to force them to change.

The technique Carlos gave was to stare at them, until they either go away (or turn into a pile of clothes perhaps), or they change into a bar of light.

It works! In both waking and dreaming. I’ve done it a few times.

But don’t do that unless you’re new to it, and merely want to see if it works.

Instead, just stare until they start to mutate. Then keep your eye on them just enough so that they can’t slip off, but don’t stare anymore. Point your finger right at them and order them to change into whatever you like.

Once you learn to do that (it’s actually easy), you can select a form that makes a good “companion”, for hunting energy.

I once ordered a troublesome dreaming character to change, giving it no suggestions as to what form it might take.

It changed into a 15 year old girl I encountered in Laguna Beach.

There was an art exhibit on top of the roof of a restaurant. It consisted of teenagers with little booths, selling their art.

Some of it was pretty good. And there was a moody looking, post goth teenage girl around 15 years old, selling amazing pencil drawings of herself naked.

I was impressed. What a good gimmick!

Except, if I’d bought one, I’d have to worry about going to jail.

The inorganic seems to have found that image in my mind. Or whatever they do. Maybe I projected it onto the inorganic.

But there she was in my dream.

She obeyed and followed me around for a good half hour, but then I noticed, she was mutating over time.

She had a big scar on her cheek, which was sewn up with metal wires. And she’d done a costume change.

I had to ask her to refresh her image. Her appearance had become a little disturbing.

And that’s when I woke up. I couldn’t hold that dream, once I interrupted the flow. It was only the inorganic that had stabilized it for that long.

It's appropriate. I ask myself these questions every time a new person writes to me, and I realize they have absolutely no real interest in Carlos' techniques.

It's always something else they're after, something far less.

And they're always "impeccable warriors".

Talk here. It's important to let everyone hear the conversations, so that people don't think their situation is different.

You'll make it, if you work hard.

Is it intent that pulls you along?

It is now. It wasn't always so. I pursued happiness like everyone else.

Juan Matus referred to 'paying our debts'

I hope I'll surprise everyone by being ok with that warrior's concept.

The debts mean you have awareness imbedded in them, and they have some in you.

It's like those weights you can wear on your wrists, when exercising.

A couple of them is fine, but we have thousands of those on us, preventing us from changing worlds.

From the point of view of the recapitulation, we're caught in thousands of individual strands from a spider web. You can literally learn to feel those! And to remove them with recap.

Each one isn't enough to stop us from moving, but all together they are. They tug on us from every direction with concerns we've had in the past.

Each concern is a mental image of this reality. With so many of them bouncing around in our minds, our assemblage point has no chance to move very far. Every image in you mind of a particular aspect of reality requires your assemblage point to vibrate there. And we have a limited range.

Moving away from where you live won't change that. You need to recapitulate those connections.

And I wouldn't advise just dumping everything and finding a new situation, so you can learn sorcery.

That's like the guy who starts his own business, and puts all the initial effort into finding office furniture. Then he sits in his wonderful office, sharpens his pencils, and wonders how to get customers.

Get the customers first. Then decide how much office furniture you can afford.

My father had success writing a book, which coincidentally created my connection to Carlos.

He wanted to write another, but kept telling himself he needed to move away and get his own place, so he could concentrate on book writing.

Once he had his own place, he ate chocolate pudding and drank whiskey all day. Plus he had a big bowl of M&Ms by the door, for guests.

He didn't have anyone else around to tell him maybe so much pudding and whiskey isn't a good idea. Or to nag him and make him unhappy, so that he'd go hide and type on his typewriter, like he did to finish the first book.

He never got around to writing that new book.

He did however write some poetry.

From memory, "Unchain those pale breasts!"

So besides pudding and whiskey, I suspect he had another hobby that used up all of his time.

Just eat whatever pudding you have and drink whatever is available, wherever you are now. But learn to get silent.

I just walked a lap around my business in very good silence. This is just 1 or 2 days after I saw my entire second attention energy body. So I've got the Nagual hanging out around me these days.

I saw little white puffs of twinkling energy floating around on the ground, sometimes moving so as to avoid my feet. Once in a while a little rainbow would spill across the asphalt. I have no idea why.

Bliss was oozing from everything in the environment. Each blast of wind (it's a windy day) nearly pushed me into dreaming. I could feel it because my assemblage point moved freely, creating that tingling up the spine.

So forget about being impulsive or frightened, and cheat the system.

Just learn to be silent. The other stuff will slowly evaporate, as the Island of the Tonal shrinks from it's bloated size.

(Man that's cheesy. Sorry...)

If you really feel a tremendous pull, that could be intent. In that case, go for it.

But intent doesn't fault you for not taking an offer. I've turned a few down.

There will be more.

Edited

The only small bit of comprehension I may have had was a feeling that intent is a force that would 'carry' me down the path I am on

It also fills in missing details for us. For instance, if you perceive a creature from the second attention, perhaps a little blob of lights hanging out on the floor, it'll give it an appearance you can "handle".

You can't pick up a blob of lights (unless you're a fan of Zuleica). But if it takes on a real looking form, you can interact with it according to that form, despite the form being "imaginary".

Or if you do as I do lately, go searching for the intent of dreamers at night, you'll start out seeing their dream as if it was behind bathroom glass. The kind that makes everything fuzzy.

If you watch that in silence, intent makes it real looking. The details start to come into focus, and colors get added. Sounds even.

And even better, if intent puts a bench in your dream, you can actually sit on it.

I mean, you're wide awake in darkness, with your eyes open. It's your bedroom. There's no bench there.

But at some point (and not always), you just realize you can sit on that bench, and participate in that dream rather than merely watch it.

God only knows what's going on in the "real world". I believe don Juan said something like, those details just take care of themselves, on their own.

So there's a REAL mystery here. How can the force that makes things seem "real", also be the external force that listens to requests, and grants them?

Or how can it be an aspect of "the nagual", as you mentioned, when the larger half of ourselves is considered part of the Nagual?

EDIT...
OH! And another thing.
I've begun to notice sometimes feeling a push (not on my physical body) from some trees as I walk by. Feels like the front of a sound wave passing through me.

But it could just be imagining it. How do we know what we are feeling vs. what we are imagining what we've read about. I recall some of CCs associates were frightened by a tree, I came down to trees can move your focal point and some are so controlling that they react negatively by their point being move by something/someone else.

That's gonna work in the long run. I didn't go that path, but it's because I'd rather sit on a bed, than have to walk around.

And that gives me a prejudice, which I'll express here.

That method works because it distracts the mind, and the second attention can come out. It doesn't come out enough to be satisfying, but it does come out, and if you keep watching the blur, your assemblage point will drift a bit. The walking also releases some energy (any movement of the body can).

But the main benefit of that (here's my prejudice), is to get you familiar with the internal dialogue. Once you're familiar with it, it'll be much more profitable sitting on pillows on your bed, in darkness.

Carlos got called a fake at the end, by his very followers.

The worst were the ones who got "corrected" by Carlos.

I used to have a Kung Fu teacher who would hit me with a bamboo sword.

At the time I thought, "What a bastard!"

But actually, it seems to do less damage to the student than explaining what the problem was.

Creepy is more like it.

Definitely not something you’d like to be your only experience, if you were doing this solo.

Which you pretty much have to. So give up on the replacement family, which might be one of your hidden motivations.

If you really have an interest in sorcery, it has to be for the sorcery. Not the other things.

And Sorcery is not cozy.

But once in a while, wowser mouser!

Carlos liked to say that.

Lately I've been "finding" objects that have actual energy of their own.

I'll be summoning things using intent.

Translation: I have no idea why they show up!

Once in a while, looking at something that just materialized in front of me pulls my assemblage point rapidly. It really stands out when that happens.

Imagine standing on a platform charged by a huge Van Dee Graph generator. The kind they use for science demos, where a kid’s hair stands up straight from the electricity.

And when your hair stands up like that, typically you get goosebumps.

Combine those feelings with an intense rush of bliss, so strong that it's pretty close to what sex feels like.

Without being sexual at all.

The object starts to glow like a rainbow, giving off lines of yellow light, and I know if I just keep gazing at it I'll be happy.

Maybe even permanently.

Most objects you gaze at in darkness, which just manifested there by themselves, are "empty".

You can see that there's nothing in there. They might give off a feeling of being alive. And maybe they are.

But they're "empty".

These objects are not. I've only seen 3 as far as I can remember.

Yesterday it was some kind of scroll, or long hand lamp. You held it in your hand, and it "Illuminated" things.

I knew precisely what it was at the time, but now it escapes me.

I didn’t bother to voice what it was, which would have helped me now.

So "thumbs up" might also extend to, make a mental note of objects you see.

If you run into something that would normally be indescribable, describe it.

At the time, I just accepted what it was. Now it's lost.

It was sitting on a shelf somewhere.

I'd been looking for rooms to travel to, still hoping to get back to my living room so I could move there in my dreaming double.

It turns out, you can summon rooms if you like, just as easily as summoning people or dreams.

Instead of finding my living room, it seems I’d found someone's shelving system.

It was painted white, but otherwise reminded me of the huge wall shelf/entertainment units they like to install in Russian apartments.

They’ll cover nearly an entire wall with a shelf system, complete with glass door cabinets, and places to put the old VCR.

Yea, it’s been that long since I was in Russia. VCRs were still in use back then.

Besides giving lots of useful places to put things, the wall units also insulate against the cold coming from the outside. Just about every Russian apartment I’ve seen, has a wall facing the outside. Everyone has to suffer, it's communism.

Russians also like to hang carpets on the walls. And complain about when the heat will be turned on.

On that shelf system, in some unknown person's living room, there was a magical object.
