So Carol Tiggs.

... Even the day before, at an event for beginners, Renata recommended not spending the energy received in the process of performing passes and reviewing, but to spend the evening in a relaxed atmosphere, because tomorrow there is interaction with Carol Tiggs, and this requires energy.

The next morning, after we made the passes, I saw Carol Tiggs enter the tennis court where we practiced. I was pierced by the instant feeling that I had seen her so many times already, I know her, I would recognize this walk, and would recognize her from a thousand, and of course, this is Carol, and no one else.

Medium, closer to dense, physique (no fragility of Renata), a simple gray dress with short sleeves, an embroidered red ornament on the upper chest, gray hair combed back. Very simple image. She said that she had not performed in public for many years, and she needed a little time to tune in. She walked around the stage, looked at us, her eyes wandered around us, sitting on the floor on the rugs. There was a feeling that this moment flooded, filled it whole. She held her hands on her chest and inhaled, exhaled.

There was no severity inherent in older people. She reminded me of a fairy from Disney cartoons - somewhat magnificent, but at the same time light and active.

Carol said she’s been with us all this time, "on the phone." She also said that Carlos really wanted to come to Russia, but did not have time. And this is one of the reasons why she is here. Another reason is the Russian practitioners, whose intention brought her to Russia (later, Renata said that Carol comes if there is a call / request / call - call). And such a call came from Russia.

Sasha Dergay added that Russian (I think, Ukrainian here too) practitioners are at the forefront, that they come up with new ideas, they have the best tensegrity sites, that the facilitators are active, initiative, that they are looking for ways to improve software upgrades. And all this could not fail to notice Carol. And in gratitude that we burn this way, she is here.

Another reason is Russia in itself. At her house hangs a portrait of Yuri Gagarin, whom she admires as a fearless explorer of the unknown. And Carol herself has already been to our country, though for a long time. And she really liked her.

Then Carol began to talk about her childhood. She grew up a sickly child, she had a disease like asthma, and she often suffocated. She spent a lot of time at home, where her "neighbors" were caterpillars that (her wonderful parents allowed this) moved around the room, ate leaves, then crawled up and wrapped themselves in cocoons. Their organs dissolved, and yesterday's caterpillars turned into other creatures, into butterflies, which were to find new ways to survive in this exciting world, because an old safe life with a bunch of food is already behind ...

And this metaphor just “nailed” me. The legend of a feathery snake in my mind “connected” with these butterflies ... Transformation into something else, more perfect than you are now, under the influence of an unbending intention. So simple. And this is what we are all united with. And at that moment, another awareness struck me.

Earlier, while reading books, I lamented somewhat that Don Juan had associates, Carlos Castaneda had companions, and now we are all lonely, on our own, or something ... Well, yes, we meet, we practice but my mind believed that all this should look somehow different.

However, under the influence of Carol Tiggs' story, my energy body saw - we are all comrades-in-arms united by the same goal as the teams of Don Juan and Carlos Casaneda and many others from our line. And in fact, we have a tremendous advantage - our quantity. And from this, as if some kind of film broke through, and from that time on, I spent almost all the remaining time feeling this connection with each practitioner, which gave and is giving tremendous support.

Carol went on to say that she was taken to sick children, of which she was the healthiest. That these children she had time to make friends with were dying when she held their hands. And once she didn’t want this anymore, after which she pronounced the firm, resolute “Niiiyet!” and made a chopping motion with her hand. This is "Niiiyet!" she repeated several times, as if trying to convey the full firmness of her intention.

Speaking of diseases. She called it blessing - a blessing, because people with chronic illnesses are forced to discipline their whole lives in relation to themselves - in movement, nutrition, etc., and this tempers their spirit. Therefore, it does not matter how weak your physical form is - the spirit can be very strong, strong.

She still has some breathing difficulties, she said that, for example, now she needs to adapt to this increased humidity, that she needs to shift the assembly point to a slightly different state to deal with this.

(Later, in the dining room, I remembered her words about constant adaptation, adaptation to changing conditions. I do not like green tea, but there was only one. Well, I thought, somewhere in the parallel universe there is El who loves green tea Why don’t I be her now? And green tea was quite drunk, and even tasted quite good).

Next was the story of Carol's father, who was captured (to whom - I do not remember). And how he admired the British soldiers, who were also captured, and whose spirit was never broken. They were free inside. I didn’t remember this story very well, who remembers the details - it would be great to hear them.

I would like to voice the difference between Renata and Carol in the manner of lecturing. Renata explains and sets out everything clearly and consistently, as if following a specific structure. Carol, however, seemed to be snatching her stories out of thin air, creating something right now, although she also periodically looked at the piece of paper. She seemed more lively, more spontaneous. Laughter Easy. With surprisingly agile perception and at the same time colossal control over the shift and fixation of its own assembly point.

Carol also spoke about her acquaintance with Don Juan, which, if I am not mistaken, happened in 1968.

She stood by some painting in the museum, examining it. There were several images on the canvas, including the process of transforming caterpillars into butterflies. She stood and wondered what happens to us after death - isn't this the same transformation ... And then a very respectable man came up to her in a perfectly fitting suit and asked what she saw in this picture. Carol began to express her thoughts, to which a man who introduced himself as don Juan Matus nodded and only mumbled: "Mmmmmmm ...", first just swaying, then turning and making some strange movements with his hands.

Then he invited her to go to a cafe, drink Coca-Cola and there, they say, they can discuss everything in more detail. The man was credible, and Carol agreed. In the cafe, when she drank Coca-Cola, don Juan suggested that she perform an amusing move - blow into a tube with a sound similar to “Mmmmm”, with her thumbs covered with the entrances to the ears, put index fingers on the eyebrows, middle fingers on the eyelids , nameless and little fingers positioned on cheekbones and cheeks.

The point is to weaken your hearing and turn off your vision. In this case, the sound reproduced when exhaling into the tube causes a vibration inside and as if cleans something in us from the bottom to the very top. If you perform this exercise while standing, you can do the rotation of the body of small amplitude. Besides the fact that this pass plunges into a state of inner silence, it, as Carol noted, is very useful for the lungs. Since we all “wear this suit” (meaning our physical body), we need to saturate it with oxygen, she said.
