You can practice everywhere; look a bit further to horizon level , when u walk for instance to shop or whatever , and move ur head a bit from left to right , and then notice / get aware , u didnt think of anything / ur thoughts where gone , also then put smile on ur face. There are thoughts that give feelings but not in the heart ( lower) and these are worries , wich take urself out of the present. Then u look up... Etcetera , practice will make this more easy and common. Listening to yor own breath gives same exsperience.
profoundly affected a few choices I have made along the way as well... these enchanting works have also been central to that which I have chosen to value and seek in life all my relations
Osho had recommended this method too. First be aware of the body, then of the thoughts, then of emotions and then of breath Finally we'd be thrown to our very center and would see reality for the very first time.
When Osho was first shown Castaneda's books, he was reported to have said that they contained some wisdom but would not explain in what parts of the books this knowledge was written.
Superb video! "Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world." - Ralph Waldo Emerson Your focus must be greater than your distractions.
@@williambrandondavis6897 I believe his books are his actual experience. But integral to his reports was keeping a fog around himself and Don Juan by obscuring facts of where and when etc. I believe Carlos misrepresented his birthplace for example. So, you can believe the falsifications in his books were to avoid manipulations, or that they reveal the fictional nature of the entire works.
I have all the Carlos Castaneda books, they have been my bible. I never thought to come across anything more about it from a serious, reliable source, so am very pleased to have discovered this video.
Would you be willing to headline what you think Castaneda books tell us about being human that has held your interest? Thank you. I too have all his books.
What the Castaneda books have told me about being human is not, strangely, our undoubted hidden capabilities, but our everyday need to grow up, to mature, and not to indulge ourselves in immature outlooks such as self-pity, shallow living etc.@@beerman204
You're exactly right on "hearing" - it is at the center of it all, at 7:36, 8:05: after Castaneda, the teachers that prevailed in the California/ Nevada deserts and the Sonoran, put their stress on "the Nagual attains through the other". But I learned this to the highest level from a French woman, Camille, in Besancon, in 2022, a beautiful blond and blue eyed woman who was not in any practice whatsoever. But, what she had was a most precious gift: she actually heard what you were saying by staying with what you were saying. She had no intention to say something back, to comment or appraise or give advice. Your words were kept by her, as if a treasure. When expressing my fear, pain, sorrow, loss, or joy, she let it be the last and only communication. She was with me to the soul. Then there was silence and we attained in the Nagual. After 50 years in those deserts and many teachers like Don Juan who walked in the Nagual, some who became my friends, it is this French woman who was the best teacher! It is far greater than "practice" or "compassion". And much simpler! However, it is not the only way, the awakening into "Mutual Time" is another. The solo approach has not worked. And our society has degenerated. Today, there may not even be any teachers left. The last time there were mighty teachers in those regions that I know of, was 2003.
When I was 18 I read carlos book "Yaki way of knowledge"..I tried at that time to understand his book and maybe a third sunk in. But in the years after I came to understand the world around me a little better than most. I've lived off the grid for half my life off and on. And study healing plants and wild vegetables that I live off of mostly..I archery hunt for meat.... life ether steers the car or you do!!!!

@@toniob4174 Journey to Ixtlan. In the preface to Journey to Ixtlan,Carlos said the first two books were based on an incorrect premise,that the use of power plants were key to the unfoldment of consciousness. He said that Don Juan told him later that he had to use them on him to jolt his assemblage point from its habitual location. In the newer editions of The Teachings of Don Juan,a Yaqui Way of Knowledge,the preface goes into an excellent description of the assemblage point,which of course is invaluable to understand as everything in life hinges on the location of the assemblage point!
Thank you for posting this, Castaneda had so much wisdom and those with this kind of wisdom always get demonized by society (the essence of the Tonal, I suppose!) Thanks especially for noting that tapping into the Nagual (pronounced- Nah-WAHL) is not dependent on drugs. I believe hallucinogens can be a sort of starting point to reveal the door to higher consciousness. But to walk through it consciously and transform in a lasting way, we have to learn to get back to that door from a clear waking state.
Really good to see helpful attention being given to Castaneda’s work in UA-cam form. For me Don Juan and Castaneda’s revealing of him brought to our modern world that precious late Shamanic period where the necessity of right action was fully understood to be absolutely necessary. Don Juan called it being impeccable. I feel that realisation is what made the breakthrough to the Axial age (Jasper’s 800-300BC) possible. For example the Buddha’s realisation wrong actions always lead to suffering. Perhaps more important the late shamanic period was still a time where each seeker had to make his or her own way exercising agency at every turn while navigating the infinite. It is well to regain that ancient ability with which we are born.
This is amazing work and ties in perfect with my already long journey into eastern spirituality, and love Indian shaman philosophy, sounds like I have found this by no mere accident ❤
One thing you could learn that would help to convey these ideas better is the value of pause in speech. It is the same as music, that when there is not enough space between sounds it all can get jumbled together. Form and emptiness in balance is the secret of the Taoist way.
What you are hearing is an automated speech generator. It is not a human being. It takes text and converts it to spoken word. That's all. There is no inflection, there is no emphasis on different parts of the sentence, etc. You are hearing a robot voice and that is why there are no pauses in between sentences and there also are incorrectly pronounced words.
Nice. A new channel and the 2nd video is of Carlos Castaneda's Magical Attention! 🙂 According to Castaneda, the most significant facts in a person's life are his possession of awareness and its impending termination at death. The primary goal of a Toltec "Warrior" is the continuation of his awareness after bodily death: to "dart past the Eagle and be free", in the words of the tradition, where the Eagle is the force which consumes the awareness of all living beings.
After years, Mr Castaneda's word comes back to me. Amen. If anyone has not read the books, 11/10, would heavily recommend. There is a depth of wisdom in his books.
I fell for CC's hogwash, read 3 of his books only to find he was one of several "new age" authors who all referenced each other to add credence to their pseudo huichol spitituality.. T. Lobsang Rampa was another.. great stories but salt req'd.
I have taken a rather modest amount of wisdom. I have read all of his books, Rings f power, teachings of don juan, ect. I found it incredible. I was lucky to read the originals, not the "Reformatted" Versions his family put out after he died. @@jeffbrinkerhoff5121
I find the later ones to be helpful and interesting, but the earlier ones seem to be too basic and obvious to me. My favorite would be "The Fire from Within." I also like The Second Ring of Power and The Art of Dreaming.
I have watched now three times, finally took notes my third time. Thank you, timely wisdom, teaching meditation to my daughter and this is a great resource of talking points and inspiration.
I am thinking of starting teaching meditation to my kids. How old is ur daughter and what age is best to start .. also if you have any resources you are using for ur child please kindly share . Thanks in advance
One of the great joys of my life is that i've read Carlos Castenada! How many times? Shit, i forget. They are truly sublime, nothing else can really compare for me, nothing I've read since can get close. So fortunate to have come across his books!
Are you sure you understand it ,Castaneda himself did not . DonJuan said he didnt but he came very close . It was in a state of heightened awareness that DonJuan explained the 6Truths to Carlos ,which of course he immediately forgot about when he was back in normal awareness . I am afraid the struggle to understand never stops .When l met Castaneda he told me didnt understand .Of course the moral philosophy involved he understood perfectly . In other words he understood what made human beings tick to perfection .
Castaneda fictionalized slightly at times to give continuity and harmony to his writings in order to make it presentable in a a proper fashion to the reader but he never in any way whatsoever faslefied the mastery of awareness .He just did his best to draw a proper picture of the philosophy, which he had to work hard to retrieve from his elusive state of heightened awareness . To say that Carloss work is a work of fiction is the thinking of a complete moran , of which there are millions no doubt out there ,and are only too ready to show their stupidity to the world ,but this type of thinking should not deter the seeker of the Truth ,whether that seeker is a Rabbi ,a Priest or a Monk or as donJuan liked to call himself ,a Warrior on the Path of Knowledge 💚
@@jamesbarryobrien3514 It IS fiction, it was proven that Castaneda was lying about his travels, so whether you can emotionally accept that or not is on you.
Really well produced. Helpful visuals. I've read all his books and even practiced some of the tensegrity movement patterns but I've never clearly understood these aspects. I'd love to hear more about the three kinds of attention.
Read all his books in college during early 70’s. Didn’t understand it then, but truly loved the “magic” , I called it, behind his stories he so brilliantly told. So thankful to have found your channel. I still have his books and will revisit again ❤❤
Personal power. Act impecable. Inner silence. Amount of energy available. Knowledge. Responsability. Every single act could be the last one. Energy. Silence. Consciousness. Power. Knowledge.
Hi, Ty, I’ve read all the books but this helps. I spend time alone, meditating and was able to quiet my mind and felt a little pressure in my chest like anxiety and there was almost an unconscious, emotional need without words, maybe an underlying fear of not sharing my life with someone.
Without really knowing this I have been doing it all my life. Thank you for making it clear I appreciate you making it available in an easy to understand way.
Hi there, I love the subject, I've took some notes here, I love the video, the voice, the images, don't know exactly what to do first:taking notes, only listen or only watch. Thank you for your work, and yes, I want more of Carlos Castaneda's ideas. Thank you
Awesome video!! I love these type of contents about Castaneda works! I read Journey to ixtlan, Tales of Power, and now im finishing The second ring of power! This is an incredible work! Please do more videos like this on Castaneda and the Toltec world or Shamanism!
In yogic tradition, it is explained as Sat-chit-Anand. Sat: truth, absolute being or existence-- that which is enduring and unchanging. Chit: consciousness, understanding and comprehension. Ananda: bliss, a state of pure happiness, joy and sensual pleasure. This is the nature of Brahman - God ( Self).
Thanks for sharing, that’s interesting As the video indicates, Mr Castenada is not owning that interpretation association in his concept of attaining enlightenment
Thanks for sharing this great video, I have read many Carlos Castaneda books & loved them all. I learned info from your video that I have not heard before though. Will be sure to check out more of your videos, thank you. 😊
@@AndrewOlivares It is hard to tie it down to one particular book as the theme is threaded throughout all of his books that I have read, just to different levels & different aspects of awareness. I would recommend googling a list of his books in order of publication & reading them in that order as I found that each builds on the previous one, I found it gave me a foundation understanding to build on. I started reading them as Wayne Dyer recommended them in one of his videos. Both authors are great to read though very different in style. 😊
Fascinating how Magical Attention seems to be related to a second of Castaneda's concepts : Non Doing. I accidentally discovered my own non doing while learning blind drawing; although designed as a technique to enhance non-judgemental observation, it can take the practitioner to higher levels of awareness of the self and of ones visual environment.
I practice what I call - Not Doing Doing - Let's say i need to wash dishes, that would be a "doing". so instead i wash the dishes in magic. i never know how the magic will manifest itself, but intent never fails to make me giddy as a child while i'm doing "mundane" chores. so i call it - Not Doing Doing:) I've got a short video on my channel called "Mundane Magic" :) Blind drawing sounds awesome. I will give that a try:) See how intent is working through you now!
The bottom line is to STOP THE INTERNAL DIALOGUE. Then release your Energy Body and fly fly away. The more you do the closer you get to other energy levels. If you find a mentor at this stage you are the "lucky one". Many don't.😢
Excellent explanation. Perception changes only when we open the mind to understanding. Once open awareness sets in and balance can be achieved. Once balance is achieved, we are one with all, and our perspectives change. Once we have accepted the awareness, we perceive truth and can experience peace. Realizing that we are the perfect balance of all opposite forces, held together by expansion and contraction, we must simply maintain the balance to remain in tune. Reading is great, but seeing is change,which brings understanding.
Grew up reading Castaneda, even considered him a personal mentor/guide as a teenager (though I hadn't actually met him, he had jumped into the Abyss a few years prior); read all his books, read them again, and even though I could *feel* something of substance was there - *I could never quite understand it*. Fast forwards 30 years, a lifetime of spiritual growth, crazy happenings and lost wandering and I discovered and disseminate the words and wisdom of Neville Goddard throughout my system, and NOW the secrets of 'inner silence', the 'assemblage point', 'not doing' and other such concepts, are finally making tangible sense.
Very well said. I particularly liked the last bit; I, like most people, have focused more on Castaneda's accounts of hallucinogens than on the actual spiritual path he is on.
For anyone who is skeptical just sit still (for maybe 20/30 minutes) with your eyes open and empty your mind/no thoughts. You start to see colours after a while. It's class.
I am very familiar with Carlos Castaneda and his books , I fact I love his knowledge and the teachings in the books and in other related writings about him . I have not heard about those teachings mentioned in this video so I was wandering where the information and or documentation of those teachings came to light or where made public and by whom. It would make for a nice addition to the already amazing knowledge he brought to the world. Those awareness teachings are really the same as in the books but organised in a different way . Attention and intent are related but not the same . One must intent attention. And therefore attention comes from the spirit .
Not bad ,well done . All that you need is in the books .But you must plough through them endlessly . Its all very much hard work for true knowledge reveals itself very slowly .
To our great regret, the author wrote in Russian under the pseudonym Yakov Ben Birsavi. Our research team includes people who speak Russian. We had a chance to get acquainted with the work of the author in Russian. Now we are looking for primary sources in English.
Excellent video. I first read all of Castaneda's book decades ago. Would like to see a video by you on the three attentions: tonal, Nagual and 3rd attention.
This is a fascinating insight that would have been so much more powerful if a real person had been reading the text rather than a robot - a bot that's obviously in a hurry to get to the end and doesn't understand the significance of a full stop. Thanks for uploading anyway.
Eastern philosophies actually define compassion the same way as empathy is defined here. Whatever you call it, the path of divine love is true regardless of culture.
Doesn't matter what "Eastern Philosophies" are saying about compassion; most of the Buddhist practicioners can't handle /not the truth 🤭/ but their own feelings! It's like a mess.
@@antalperge1007 . Maybe due to them not observing their own mind clearly except when they are meditating, and then suppressing thoughts-feelings in mistaken meditation. Also, thinking that they have attained wisdom when they have only understood the words, and have not done the practice with the intention to be self-aware.
The secret to Castaneda is that a girlfriend of his gave him a Neville Goddard book. As much as I love Nevilles' work, the Trickery of Spirit lead me to Dõn Carlos first. Plus, he's the better writer of the two, regardless if it was all "true" or not. High school sucked and his books got me through it.
I sense Zen like references to awareness here. A zen like discovery. Never really noticed it when I read his books years ago looking for credence in the mystic. To imagine zen springing up like that on the other side of the Earth, thousands of years ago is astonishing.
I saw a documentary once I'm pretty sure it was about the Cogi Indians of South America. When a woman becomes pregnant she goes into a darkened cave with a helper. They stay there in darkness until the baby is born. And then stay in the cave in darkness and isolation for another for another 10 months. I think during this time the baby has a chance to experience it's inner self, the inner world, with no distractions. A chance that most of us never had, being immediately bombarded with the things of this world the moment we are born.
I met a man in Tepoztlan, Mexico who was Castaneda´s friend and colleague when they were younger and both into politics. He said Castaneda made the whole thing up about Don Juan and all the books.
I think when most scriptures refer to the Earth they are referring to the whole of the physical experience or Universe. The Universe is the being which appears to be evolving and of which we are an inseparable part. I prefer fusion philosophy like East meets West cuisine with a leaning towards overcoming the world as opposed to seeking to liberate ourselves from it. I don't believe it's possible to separate ourselves from it with the short evidence being that we are not separated from it presently. 🔯⚛️⚕️

Castaneda fictionalized slightly at times to give continuity and harmony to his writings in order to make it presentable in a a proper fashion to the reader but he never in any way whatsoever faslefied the mastery of awareness .He just did his best to draw a proper picture of the philosophy, which he had to work hard to retrieve from his elusive state of heightened awareness .
To say that Carloss work is a work of fiction is the thinking of a complete moran , of which there are millions no doubt out there ,and are only too ready to show their stupidity to the world ,but this type of thinking should not deter the seeker of the Truth ,whether that seeker is a Rabbi ,a Priest or a Monk or as donJuan liked to call himself ,a Warrior on the Path of Knowledge 💚
It took you a lifetime to understand a fictional character? Are you aware of the fact that Castaneda fabricated the Don Juan stories?
@@jamesbarryobrien3514 It IS fiction, it was proven that Castaneda was lying about his travels, so whether you can emotionally accept that or not is on you.
Yes, please. My heart yearns to learn more about the three attentions. Many thanks❤
Thanks for the very interesting content! I have never seen such a deep presentation of the text.
I vote for the video about three attentions 👍
Really well produced. Helpful visuals. I've read all his books and even practiced some of the tensegrity movement patterns but I've never clearly understood these aspects. I'd love to hear more about the three kinds of attention.
Carlos Castaneda is great author!!! His works are empowering. They broaden my horizon!
Read all his books in college during early 70’s. Didn’t understand it then, but truly loved the “magic” , I called it, behind his stories he so brilliantly told. So thankful to have found your channel. I still have his books and will revisit again ❤❤
Yes please, more about the three attentions!
Personal power. Act impecable. Inner silence. Amount of energy available. Knowledge. Responsability. Every single act could be the last one. Energy. Silence. Consciousness. Power. Knowledge.
Hi, Ty, I’ve read all the books but this helps. I spend time alone, meditating and was able to quiet my mind and felt a little pressure in my chest like anxiety and there was almost an unconscious, emotional need without words, maybe an underlying fear of not sharing my life with someone.
Incredible unity of wisdom and practice - shared in a way that is easy to understand. Thank you so much for sharing this valuable teaching
Without really knowing this I have been doing it all my life. Thank you for making it clear I appreciate you making it available in an easy to understand way.
I love the Carlos Castaneda teachings, please share more. Thank you!😊
I’ve been waiting for my algorithm to bring up videos like this. Miigwetch! ❤
Great video! More please!!!
Thank you so much for this video. It's really interesting!
Hi there, I love the subject, I've took some notes here, I love the video, the voice, the images, don't know exactly what to do first:taking notes, only listen or only watch. Thank you for your work, and yes, I want more of Carlos Castaneda's ideas. Thank you
Awesome video!! I love these type of contents about Castaneda works! I read Journey to ixtlan, Tales of Power, and now im finishing The second ring of power! This is an incredible work!
Please do more videos like this on Castaneda and the Toltec world or Shamanism!
In yogic tradition, it is explained as Sat-chit-Anand. Sat: truth, absolute being or existence-- that which is enduring and unchanging.
Chit: consciousness, understanding and comprehension.
Ananda: bliss, a state of pure happiness, joy and sensual pleasure. This is the nature of Brahman - God ( Self).
Thanks for sharing, that’s interesting
As the video indicates, Mr Castenada is not owning that interpretation association in his concept of attaining enlightenment
Vedanta is a more verified approach than that being described here.
A word of warning. Do not attempt any of this without a qualified guide.
This stuff is REAL and without adequate controls is dangerous.
Thank you.
Yes please to learning more about the 3 attentions.
Blessings and Gratitude
You are bringing clarity and have my gratitude. Carlos was always bringing more truth than I could fathom. More please.
Thanks for sharing this great video, I have read many Carlos Castaneda books & loved them all. I learned info from your video that I have not heard before though. Will be sure to check out more of your videos, thank you. 😊
Which of his books would you say is a proper introduction to this concept of awareness that this video talk about?
@@AndrewOlivares It is hard to tie it down to one particular book as the theme is threaded throughout all of his books that I have read, just to different levels & different aspects of awareness.
I would recommend googling a list of his books in order of publication & reading them in that order as I found that each builds on the previous one, I found it gave me a foundation understanding to build on. I started reading them as Wayne Dyer recommended them in one of his videos. Both authors are great to read though very different in style. 😊
Fascinating how Magical Attention seems to be related to a second of Castaneda's concepts : Non Doing. I accidentally discovered my own non doing while learning blind drawing; although designed as a technique to enhance non-judgemental observation, it can take the practitioner to higher levels of awareness of the self and of ones visual environment.
I practice what I call - Not Doing Doing - Let's say i need to wash dishes, that would be a "doing". so instead i wash the dishes in magic. i never know how the magic will manifest itself, but intent never fails to make me giddy as a child while i'm doing "mundane" chores. so i call it - Not Doing Doing:) I've got a short video on my channel called "Mundane Magic" :) Blind drawing sounds awesome. I will give that a try:) See how intent is working through you now!
A very rewarding way to achieve the totality of oneself
Thank you for your contribution in human awekening! ❤
I would love to hear more about Castaneda's teschings.
Buddhism.
Awaken even
This is a really good piece of work this video. 👏. Am sharing it much Already🙏
Strong and succinct information ! Thank you
we want to know more about the three kinds of attention
The bottom line is to STOP THE INTERNAL DIALOGUE. Then release your Energy Body and fly fly away. The more you do the closer you get to other energy levels. If you find a mentor at this stage you are the "lucky one". Many don't.😢
Yes. Please continue
Please do the work on 3 attentions! LOVE this material - great video! ThankQ
Excellent explanation. Perception changes only when we open the mind to understanding. Once open awareness sets in and balance can be achieved. Once balance is achieved, we are one with all, and our perspectives change. Once we have accepted the awareness, we perceive truth and can experience peace. Realizing that we are the perfect balance of all opposite forces, held together by expansion and contraction, we must simply maintain the balance to remain in tune. Reading is great, but seeing is change,which brings understanding.
What a great surprise video..
This is a very excellent, excellent presentation! Go a long ways to see one as well done. Nice Job!
Grew up reading Castaneda, even considered him a personal mentor/guide as a teenager (though I hadn't actually met him, he had jumped into the Abyss a few years prior); read all his books, read them again, and even though I could *feel* something of substance was there - *I could never quite understand it*.
Fast forwards 30 years, a lifetime of spiritual growth, crazy happenings and lost wandering and I discovered and disseminate the words and wisdom of Neville Goddard throughout my system, and NOW the secrets of 'inner silence', the 'assemblage point', 'not doing' and other such concepts, are finally making tangible sense.
Please YES to more of ~ and deep dives into ~ anything Carlos Castaneda THANK YOU ✨🧚🏾♀️
Very well said. I particularly liked the last bit; I, like most people, have focused more on Castaneda's accounts of hallucinogens than on the actual spiritual path he is on.
Looking forward to know more about the three attentions.
For anyone who is skeptical just sit still (for maybe 20/30 minutes) with your eyes open and empty your mind/no thoughts. You start to see colours after a while. It's class.
Please tell us more of the three attentions. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful way.
Have you read the books? Read them, find out from source.
Please elaborate more on the 3 Three Attentions, Tonal, Nagual and Third Attention. Thank You❤
i would love for you to elaborate more on the three kinds of attention. Thank you!
Outstanding Teaching !!
Thank you for doing a great job!
The pictures you selected to symbolically illuminate your points are phenomenal! Are posters available? So potent.
I am very familiar with Carlos Castaneda and his books , I fact I love his knowledge and the teachings in the books and in other related writings about him . I have not heard about those teachings mentioned in this video so I was wandering where the information and or documentation of those teachings came to light or where made public and by whom. It would make for a nice addition to the already amazing knowledge he brought to the world. Those awareness teachings are really the same as in the books but organised in a different way . Attention and intent are related but not the same . One must intent attention. And therefore attention comes from the spirit .
My videos contain the secret teaching clean of inorganic influence!
Not bad ,well done .
All that you need is in the books .But you must plough through them endlessly . Its all very much hard work for true knowledge reveals itself very slowly .
@@AquaticphilosophiaThere is no cleaning ,the Entities are perenially present .l suppose you mean one must clean onself .
To our great regret, the author wrote in Russian under the pseudonym Yakov Ben Birsavi. Our research team includes people who speak Russian. We had a chance to get acquainted with the work of the author in Russian. Now we are looking for primary sources in English.
@@ThreeSuns-Magic Did he mention the existence of The Assemblage Point .
Excellent video. I first read all of Castaneda's book decades ago. Would like to see a video by you on the three attentions: tonal, Nagual and 3rd attention.
This is a fascinating insight that would have been so much more powerful if a real person had been reading the text rather than a robot - a bot that's obviously in a hurry to get to the end and doesn't understand the significance of a full stop. Thanks for uploading anyway.
Please do more on Castaneda.🙏
Eastern philosophies actually define compassion the same way as empathy is defined here. Whatever you call it, the path of divine love is true regardless of culture.
Doesn't matter what "Eastern Philosophies" are saying about compassion;
most of the Buddhist practicioners can't handle /not the truth 🤭/ but their own feelings! It's like a mess.
@@antalperge1007 . Maybe due to them not observing their own mind clearly except when they are meditating, and then suppressing thoughts-feelings in mistaken meditation. Also, thinking that they have attained wisdom when they have only understood the words, and have not done the practice with the intention to be self-aware.
More deepness in this ocean please
Yes please elaborate on the three attention
Love the voice in the video
Thank you for this work. It is wonderful to find souls engaged with the wisdom of don Juan these many years since they were written.
Please more this is great content. Thank you so much for sharing
yes, I'd like to learn more about the practice of awareness and the three attentions
Wow! Thank you for sharing this ❤️❤️❤️
powerful take on Castenada's teachings
That's my Logo !
"Being present in the Now"
All you need is listening to Eckhart Tolle - simple practice of being present in this moment..
The secret to Castaneda is that a girlfriend of his gave him a Neville Goddard book. As much as I love Nevilles' work, the Trickery of Spirit lead me to Dõn Carlos first. Plus, he's the better writer of the two, regardless if it was all "true" or not. High school sucked and his books got me through it.
Yes, please tell us about the three attentions. Thanks
Yes, please share further information on the three awarenesses: Tonal, Nagual, and Third Attention.
I sense Zen like references to awareness here. A zen like discovery. Never really noticed it when I read his books years ago looking for credence in the mystic. To imagine zen springing up like that on the other side of the Earth, thousands of years ago is astonishing.
THANK YOU
for this beautiful lesson and video
I saw a documentary once I'm pretty sure it was about the Cogi Indians of South America. When a woman becomes pregnant she goes into a darkened cave with a helper. They stay there in darkness until the baby is born. And then stay in the cave in darkness and isolation for another for another 10 months. I think during this time the baby has a chance to experience it's inner self, the inner world, with no distractions. A chance that most of us never had, being immediately bombarded with the things of this world the moment we are born.
Attention, intention, retention, extension, detention, contention,obtain, tension...
Three kind attentions please
Thank you!
Grateful to discover Three Suns. Wonderful video. Please elaborate on the 3 attentions :)
"remember yourself" - Gurjieff
Alert! - the habit of expressing negative emotions - G.
Speaking truth to others makes it harder to lie to yourself.
I met a man in Tepoztlan, Mexico who was Castaneda´s friend and colleague when they were younger and both into politics. He said Castaneda made the whole thing up about Don Juan and all the books.
Very nice !! well done work adding to Carlo's message !! We will keep following your posts.
Excellent video. Can you do a video that goes in depth on awareness In listening? Thank you!
Please do elaborate on the 3 attentions, would love to hear about it
Is a description of the four dhyanas of samadhi with others words. Nice eplanation.
Listening is like kanzeon.
The books have completely changed my life
I think when most scriptures refer to the Earth they are referring to the whole of the physical experience or Universe. The Universe is the being which appears to be evolving and of which we are an inseparable part. I prefer fusion philosophy like East meets West cuisine with a leaning towards overcoming the world as opposed to seeking to liberate ourselves from it. I don't believe it's possible to separate ourselves from it with the short evidence being that we are not separated from it presently. 🔯⚛️⚕️
please make a video about the three attentions :D
this was amazing!
We've already planned this video
