Where do you feel this is all going?
How has Nagualism / the works of Carlos Castaneda affected you? In what ways have you put it into effect? Are you overly secretive? Have you left your family and friends? Has your life and energy improved from your practices?
Carlos Castaneda wrote some books that allowed anyone in the world to have access to knowledge and techniques that have been formulated in secrecy for many thousands of years. But what will we do with it?
Don Juan told Carlos that one day he may ditch the shamanistic rituals and go in a new direction. Well, he may not have said that exactly, but something along those lines. (I believe he mentions this in "The Wheel of Time")
Maybe it's just me, and what I'm going through at the moment. I go through periods of following the methods presented in Carlos Castaneda's books very intensly, and then at some point, I'll ease up for a while, and just let go. And it feels like the intensity followed by a release is causing a greater and greater feeling of freedom within me
I'm more than slightly rambling here, but what I'm trying to get at is... What do you think it means to be a sorcerer/warrior in this moment in time? Do you feel that any of the techniques and methods need improving or updating to live in society today?
I personally feel like I've seen a definite evolution of mood going on in the updates and practitioner comments on the Cleargreen site.
Basically, I'm trying to start conversation here, and trying to understand some things that are going on in my life. And I'm trying to understand which direction to go in. I've been living in secrecy in some aspects for a long time, and I'm considering easing up. It feels like easing up and not trying to be so secretive will lift a weight off of me. The secrecy in itself lifted a great deal of weight, but now the secrecy itself is beginning to feel heavy.
