NEVERMIND

We don't see that among us are bell-shaped, and also candle-like undulating, dark chocolate shapes -- the Inorganic Beings we coexist with, that move energetically at a much lower speed than we do. Only through dreaming can we balance our energy sufficiently to see them.

-FDG, Omega Institute; May 26, 1995.

NEVERMIND

The art of Dreaming, which includes dreaming together, Carlos Castaneda said, is founded on the solitary journey of each practitioner. We are never alone in our journey-we are One, in that we all come from the same source, and we are intimately connected to the earth; our home star, the sun; the moon, planets, and the rest of the galaxy as well as to Spirit; yet each of us is alone in our practice, in that each of us must make the daily decision to direct our attention in enhancing ways, in dreams of both day and night.

DEUS X MACHINA

El toque del guerrero es sutil pero exquisito; comienza con una mano de hierro, pero termina en una de duende, de telaraña; sin dejar huellas; ése es su desafío. (ELAdI189) ­Arte del Guerrero

HAVE MERCY....

“Si tu espíritu está deformado, simplemente es que hay que arreglarlo, depurándolo y perfeccionándolo, porque no hay tarea en la vida más digna de emprenderse. No arreglar ­el espíritu es buscar a la muerte, y eso es igual a no buscar nada, porque ella va a alcanzarnos de todos modos. Arreglar nuestro espíritu es lo único digno que podemos ­hacer, de cara a la transitoriedad de nuestra ­condición humana (...)” -CC (RdT109)

"There is a turning point in life -when we look at it, and see our lives all laid out- that we realize it for the endless crap it is. This is what makes it possible for us to walk away from it. We can then escape the social order; it is only when we have seen ourselves this way that we realize that, unless we give it up, we will be that same way 'till the day we die..."

GARGOLEROS

La idea de que seamos manipulados por una fuerza siniestra que nos tiene jodidos, es producto de una vida entera dedicada a hacerse la víctima, diciendo: "todos abusan de mí; y yo ya no aguanto..."

LAST WORDS

by Emily Bronte


I knew not 'twas so dire a crime
To say the word, "Adieu;"
But this shall be the only time
My lips or heart shall sue.

That wild hill-side, the winter morn,
The gnarled and ancient tree,
If in your breast they waken scorn,
Shall wake the same in me.

I can forget black eyes and brows,
And lips of falsest charm,
If you forget the sacred vows
Those faithless lips could form.

If hard commands can tame your love,
Or strongest walls can hold,
I would not wish to grieve above
A thing so false and cold.

And there are bosoms bound to mine
With links both tried and strong:
And there are eyes whose lightning shine
Has warmed and blest me long:

Those eyes shall make my only day,
Shall set my spirit free,
And chase the foolish thoughts away
That mourn your memory.

"El ser humano no fluctúa entre el bien y el mal, sino entre lo positivo y lo negativo... ¡lo dicho es un error; el hombre es sólo mente! ¡No es cierto; es sólo salsa de chile! ... decir esto no nos vuelve más locos de lo que ya estábamos."

FOREVER PETS

"When Howard Lee closed down his studio, his students were really upset.We told him he could raise his prices, but he didn't see the point of it. Andbecause he was a Chinese man, he was really fucked up. He was really rigid--oncehe decided something, he never changed his mind. The mother of a student had anabscess on her leg. She was very wealthy. She came to him and he did his thingwith needles. He told her to go home and come back in two weeks. She had bigmoney and was willing to pay him $20,000 to have him work on her every day, orevery hour. The woman's son asked, 'Would you please charge her $2,000?' Howardasked, 'Why? It'll heal it.' And it did, within a couple weeks, and it only costher a couple hundred dollars. Howard was just a dog. He could have made a lot ofmoney for it, but he didn't get it, or he didn't see the point.

"(El otro día) cuando creíste haber comprendido algo muy significativo (...) en realidad no entendiste nada. Tuviste un arranque emocional, eso es todo (...) al día siguiente andabas de nuevo abrazado de tus ideas, como si nunca te hubieras dado cuenta de nada..."

DEUS X MACHINA

"... I finally interrupted him and told him that I believed that God exists.

He retorted that my belief was based on faith and, as such, was a secondhand conviction that did not amount to anything; my belief in the existence of God was, like everyone else's, based on a hearsay and not in the act of seeing, he said."

-The Fire from Within, p. 126

NEVERMIND

"Yo no digo que Dios no exista... Dios simplemente es todo en lo que puedes pensar, por eso, propiamente hablando, es simplemente otro objeto en la isla del tonal. No puede ser visto cuando uno quiere; sólo podemos hablar de Él. El nagual, en cambio, está al servicio del guerrero; puede ser visto, mas no se puede hablar de él..."

-RdP 170

RADIACTIVIDAD

Recapitulation is a technique of the old sorcerers, designed todisentangle one energetically from the ties of the past. It loosens ourtight grip on old interpretations that keep us from perceiving newstimuli. It is also aimed at putting stuck filaments to rest to allowus to perceive new filaments. Through controlled folly, we know thatnew interpretations are only for the moment, and we don't allowourselves to get fixed again. The act of moving awareness back to oldfilaments, seeing every detail, and then coming back to the present,accompanied by the breathing process, loosens by itself the assemblagepoint. Recapitulation also reveals your whole inventory of actions andreactions -your basic patterns- so that after the recapitulation youcan choose new actions (which become not doings).

HAVE MERCY

Las condiciones de un pájaro solitario son 5:

• Se va a lo más alto
• No sufre por compañía, aunque sea de su propia naturaleza.
• Pone el pico al aire.
• No tiene un color determinado.

NEVERMIND

And death shall have no dominion.Dead men naked they shall be one With the man in the wind and the west moon; When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone, They shall have stars at elbow and foot; Though they go mad they shall be sane, Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again; Though lovers be lost love shall not; And death shall have no dominion.  -Dylan Thomas
