there's a whole group called the theosophical society. "spirituality" (if you will) has always been my passion. I happened upon these books before I was fortunate enough to come across CC. The type of knowledge they put forth is somewhat (if not very) different than Carlos, but one is still able to find connections that allow them to agree. I also remember DonJuan telling Carlos that contradictions in the universe exist, so it wasn't too big of a deal.

I still consider Carlos to be the most profound "prophet" or man of knowledge of this age. My ethnicity is Spanish/Mexican, so I choose to practice Carlos' teachings. A lot of the Mexican culture's superstitious beliefs have derived from the practices of the shamans of ancient mexico. (Ever heard of someone curing one's fever w/ an egg? or sweeping someone's back w/ a straw broom before they go to sleep to help prevent nightmares? )

Yeah, visualtion helps. I looked up a few diagrams of the human body so I could know exactly where the centers of vitality are. One example is when I've been eating bad; some of the magical passes really help out my digestion...more so when I close my eyes and try to get a clear mental image of the movement of energy around whichever centers in question.

Hope practicing magical passes goes well for you. I can send you a couple diagrams if you like...
