Where did Don Juan's group end up after leaving our world. My vision + my sketch.

My experience described below dates back to the early 1980s. A series of strange, as it were, random circumstances first brought me into contact with people who practiced the practices described in the books of Castaneda, and then things began to happen to me that in a short period changed me from an ardent atheist into a person who does not doubt everything beyond. One of the many events or to say my experiences and experiences I will describe here.

Let me remind you once again that this event happened in the early 80s. The month was February. Midnight time. With a girl who also shared my aspirations, we decided to conduct an experiment. A black cloth was spread on the table. Turned off the lights and lit candles. A saucer of spring water was placed on the table. A gold massive ring was placed in the saucer. Then they sat down at the table on stools, opposite each other, tucking their legs under them. Then we decided to decide where we want to go in our vision. I don't know why, but we had a feeling, a certainty, that we would be able to see only three events, past, present or future. The first event that we wanted to see is the Sign of whether we should continue practicing Castaneda. The second event that we decided to see is where don Juan's group is now, burned from the inside. And the third event is the future of our relations, that is, a personal one. Having decided on the intention to see it all, we bent over the ring and tried to completely turn off the internal dialogue. The first minutes of such an uncomfortable sitting with knees tucked under us made themselves felt, our legs began to ache, but we did not pay attention to this and continued to peer into the ring without thinking about anything. Further, I will describe the events from the position of "we" and not "I", because after the experiment, during the discussion of the experience, it turned out that we both saw the same pictures, as if from the same projection, although we were sitting on different sides. And they saw everything to the smallest detail in the same way.

So, when our legs were already numb and began to ache, suddenly we both stopped feeling them, as it were, and all inconvenience and discomfort passed. At that moment, the space inside the ring began to expand to the size of .. well, maybe a very large TV screen and this space began to acquire a milky color, then it began to turn into white fog, then into just fog, and when the clouds of fog dissipated, we saw a desert. A man was walking through the desert with his back to us. He was wearing a sombrero and looked to be about 30. He stopped and at that moment our vision of him kind of approached him and we could see his facial features from the side and in a semi-profile, because he kind of turned his head in our direction and nodded head signaled that we should follow him, and after that he continued to walk on. Then, years later, when the photo of Castaneda got into the network, we noted an external similarity with the one we saw in that desert. This was the first vision in which we wanted to see the Sign, whether we should continue to practice Castaneda. And this Sign was positive.

A few seconds later, the space was again covered with clouds of smoke, and when it dissipated, we saw a group of people standing, as it were, on a piece of some kind of solid area with fumes. And there was nothing around. We could not define this "nothing" in verbal forms, but as if we understood and knew that this "nothing" surrounds them. At the moment when we saw them, they were standing with their backs to us, some sideways, but after a second they seemed to notice us and all turned in our direction. One of them pointed in our direction. What struck us was their yellow glowing eyes. It was our second intention to see where don Juan's group was after leaving our world.

I made a rough sketch of what it looked like.

It was visible and it was somehow felt, many of them were surprised that someone's attention broke into the place where they were and was watching them. At first, some of them showed surprise, some seemed to be busy thinking, but then we felt that they may have taken us for something threatening them, and got into a defensive position. Now we have already felt the danger and we were, as it were, thrown out of this vision. And again, the space was covered with clouds of fog, and when it dissipated, we got into the third event that we intended to see, the event of the future of our relationship. But this is personal and I will omit the details. Let me just say that what I saw there completely coincided with what happened over the next 20 years.

Thus, we saw all three intentions that we planned to see in the same way with all the details, without knowing in advance what exactly we would see, without communicating during this experiment.

Here I would like to point out the important moments of any vision, this experience or others that I have subsequently carried out.

1. At the moment of transition from the ordinary state to the state of vision, any physical discomfort suddenly disappears, if it was before. Feelings of the body seem to disappear.

2. At the moment the vision begins, the space, whether it be a crystal ball, or a bucket of water, or any surface, is covered with "white milk" or clouds of fog.

3. Until the beginning of the vision and further after, the complete absence of thoughts. Only a pure perception of what he saw and in sensations, without a thought process, judgments and evaluation.

Once again, I apologize if I made mistakes when writing, because I do not speak English and I write through Google translator.
