MOON AND STARS PASS

Barcelona, June 9-11, 2000

One is seated on the mat as one's link with intent is cleared with a
brushing for intent on the arms. The
second and third toes from the thumb are squeezed out from their bases and
the energy thus extracted is
flung aside. A spot is vibrated on both feet; about an inch down from the
base of the little toes. Similar
movements are repeated with the fingers, as in the last pass of Carol Tiggs
passes for the womb in the
book "Magical Passes" by Carlos Castaneda.

Kneeling and sitting on the feet, or with the legs to one side, facing the
new moon; the practitioner's
index fingers and thumbs touch, completing an energy circuit of outward
facing hands which are
overhead. One spys the new moon through the triangle thus created and gazes
thereupon. The arms in
unison swing down behind and complete the first of Taisha Abelar's pass
for the womb. The arms
continue from the finishing position of that pass and lift to the original
posture of gazing through the
hands. The sequence is repeated twice more and then completed by applying
energy to the vital centers
around the torso.

The seating position is conscientiously adjusted to the left at 90 degrees
and the arms rise overhead
wherein the first quarter moon is witnessed through lose open hands. The
womb pass of Florinda
Donner Grau, "Sphinx Paws" is accomplished on both sides but with a slight
difference; that when the
hands move across together (after the downward palm strikes) they don't
return together and instead the
figure eight is drawn with only one hand whilst the other is placed on it's
home-side hip; therefore the
active hand will finish the eight on the opposite's side and a horizontal
swoop returns it back home to
apply energy over the womb or vital center.

Another re-orientation 90 degrees left and, after sitting, the aspirant
stands and performs the last pass of
Carlos' second video, with exceptional differences: The full moon is gazed
upon in the reflecting
surface of the shallow stream of awareness at the feet, where energy is
raised to the chin. The hatch is
opened and the energy led, with a movement of the chin away, toward the
full moon and beyond it to
the stars. That now laden energy is retrieved to the base of the neck.

There is an inhalation and
exhalation and then comes the first of Carol Tigg's womb passes; "Packing
Energy on the Womb".
The reflection of the moon is beheld with awe again. And the move is
finished text book style. One then
sits, still facing the same way. Notable to this sequence is that the hatch
is not replaced.

A final adjustment then to face the 3rd quarter moon where the arms move in
tandem, soaring gently
from behind to go over the shoulders with an inward twist and a strike with
the backs of the wrists
facing and the fingers almost touching at about, or below, the decision
centre level. A gap is forced upon
there, between the wrists, a foot wide. Scenes for recapitulating are gazed
upon then captured in the
palms of the hand and offered high to the waning orb through the use of the
first part of Carol's second
pass; "Stirring and Guiding Energy Directly into the Womb". Retrieval of
the hands to waist level allows
the practitioner as much time as is utilizable to recapitulate whilst
beholding the hands through closed
eyes - although three sweeps is probably best to start with, just as we did
it in the Palau st Jordi upon the
hill in Barcelona. The remaining sequences of Carol's second pass are done
and the energy applied.

Sitting to face again the new moon, it is gazed at through the
triangulation of the fingers.(This is the
Blue Scout's pass, and is begun with the new moon, I believe, because She
is a southerly woman, as
Taisha is). Those fingers in that triangle shape are brought straight down
to rest flat on the forehead.
The spine bends down until the fingers are on the ground, supporting the
forehead. Three breaths, and
on the final exhale the fingers separate; earthing the forehead. The
aspirant slowly stands up, dragging
energy to above the head whilst doing so and using the eleventh pass from
Carlos' first video. By the
time they have got to the top in the finalizing of that pass the fingers
are triangulated again; they are
slowly and slightly separated and the stars beheld. The arms come back
around to perform the Scout's
first womb pass, using three strikes forward instead of one. Following go:

The second pass of Her
series, but with three snips sideward; the fourth and fifth passes as are;
the third pass with three strikes
left and accompanied with slight foot slides, same on the right, and the
left again.

The Navigator finally walks to the left making a full circle, as perfect as
a moon.
