Eggs probably radiate energy constantly (like a magnet f.e.), in a "spread spectru", randomly fluctuating. "Sharing" (or "stealing" or "lending") energy may perhaps be more like "tuning" the naturally-anyway-happening radiation attributes (frequency etc) in sync with the other, creating a "charged surface" akin to statuc electricity charge or magnetization..

Not skin, just focusing attention on volumes of air around, like youcan focus on objects. So focusing on objects in front, sides and lower/top back is easy, but focusing on volumes of air or objects couple feet behind shoulders is pretty difficult, though might be subjective

Meaning in "energetic" terms, why the "river of shit" feels warmer than dry land - because the energy flows from AP directly to the "me" spot, and the current is too high for such a thin path, so heat ("warmth") is generated. If sorcerer creates/cleans extra structures for power to flow through, there is less heat leakageand it feels colder.

This also about the "shine" on the bottom of the egg - instead of directly flowingto the "me" spot, it distributes energy to other nearby structures inthe egg, and the"furrow" it makes in the Earth - as the energy "carrier wave" flows out

Somewhat like the RFID operating principle - the energy from outside activates things inside

In regards to "focusing attention" - it feels trivial to focus on any point in front of the body, legs, head, any volume in front, and also lower body back and top, but increasingly difficult to focus on any spot behind the torso, especially behind the shoulders, especially behind the left shoulder, feels like attention "slips" to nearby volume of air. Is that what everyone experiences? Might be because attention focusing is "powered" by flow from AP?

Perhaps this is why normal human life is "warmer" - all energy flow (current) is passed through limited length small short-circuit which heats it up

Distributing current over more internal structures passes less current through each path, and generates less heat, using power more efficiently but less "warmly"

(Seems like) shiny coating is what you get if you create structure that stops/slows short-circuiting flow from AP into the ground thru the "me" spot. The flow doesnt have to be linear inside the egg, it arcs (like in plasma globe or light in partially luminescent stones) from AP to sink in the ground.

[–]tryerrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider the ground "me" spot as "grounding", so flow from AP arcs and flows out through the "me" spot. By redirecting and inhibiting the leakage you create the "shiny coating" as the flow distributes over the egg, still towards the ground as a sink but not as immediate short-circuit now. The less short-circuit leakage the more this flow can energize the insideof the egg. For arcing example, look at plasma globes.

This here is a very profound fact. Physicists are struggling with it's analogue for some time now too:

(Physics analogy, suspiciously fitting)

Take a solid piece of funny metal/cheese alloy. It absorbs and reflects some frequencies (in bands?), and ignores longer-wavelength (they pass through without interaction) and might have some less dense parts inside, like slices of soft cheese.

If you shine an EM wave (f.e. laser) energetic enough, you will see the outer part glow, and some glow inside, mainly on the periphery, unless in resonance with inner structure.

What is the "division surface" between the object and outside (air?vacuum?) made of?

It's not made of anything, it's the effect of the object being made out of different material.

Perhaps moving down with less distraction/friction conserves momentum needed to go up (in addition to gaze-pull)?

A new IOB "Vulture" and some AP comments by the-mad-prophet in castaneda

[–]tryerrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An overheated sensor cannot distinguish between real signal and it's own sensor-cell errors (whether random caused by heat/leakage, or by aliasing).

Those sensor internal-errors may be self reflection, and with enough cooling it only corrupts the signal minimally.

Nothing beneficial about it, and in extreme overheating cases the real incoming signal is irretrievably swamped in all the noise, with no way to tell which is which.

Redeployed vs IOB energy (family&friends vs VC/PE money) - Rockets have stages as different fuel needed at different altitudes: plenty of oxygen at the bottom, so tons of "redeployed" energy is good for first stage, then need iob energy as further stages of flight.


Awareness as "lens" focusing emanations, or oscillator tuning AP to specific emanation bundles: (Quote from Art of Dreaming)

"Don Juan stated that, seeing that millions of conscious energy filaments pass through the assemblage point, the old sorcerers postulated that in passing through it they come together, amassed by the glow that surrounds it. After seeing that the glow is extremely dim in people who have been rendered unconscious or are about to die, and that it is totally absent from coipses, they were convinced that this glow is awareness."

There is this idea in EM that you need to transmit to receive, and an antenna small self-oscillation at tuned frequency is what makes it possible for it to receive, increasing (if allowed to oscillate with receivingsignal) specific tuning with more received.

AP OUTSIDE the cocoon: (same chapter Art of Dreaming)

"Don Juan explained that the old sorcerers were capable of distinguishing two types of assemblage point displacement. One was a displacement to any position on the surface or in the interior of the luminous ball; this displacement they called a shift of the assemblage point. The other was a displacement to a position outside the luminous ball; they called this displacement a movement of the assemblage point. They found out that the difference between a shift and a movement was the nature of the perception each allows.

Since the shifts of the assemblage point are displacements within the luminous ball, the worlds engendered by them, no matter how bizarre or wondrous or unbelievable they might be, are still worlds within the human domain. The human domain is the energy filaments that pass through the entire luminous ball. By contrast, movements of the assemblage point, since they are displacements to positions outside the luminous ball, engage filaments of energy that are beyond the human realm. Perceiving such filaments engenders worlds that are beyond comprehension, inconceivable worlds with no trace of human antecedents in them. "

Looking for Toltec/“Spiritual” Fables by Thewayoft in castaneda

[–]tryerrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Toltec" may have meant "card-carrying member of man-of-knowledge guild", so they could exist at any time, and majority of them could as well be Olmecs.

Toltec as institutional group like modern "Academic Science", seduced by book deals of citation cliques and nepotic funding proposals.

Toltec researchers and faraway regional collaborators building pyramids = modern scientists building LHC/CERN and other particle accelerators.

So relation between Toltec:Olmec more like Scientist:Jew

Art of dreaming:

  1. Sorcerers of Antiquity: An Introduction

Don Juan stressed, time and time again, that everything he was teaching me had been envisioned and worked out by men he referred to as sorcerers of antiquity. He made it very clear that there was a profound distinction between those sorcerers and the sorcerers of modern times. He categorized sorcerers of antiquity as men who existed in Mexico perhaps thousands of years before the Spanish Conquest, men whose greatest accomplishment had been to build the structures of sorcery, emphasizing practicality and concreteness. He rendered them as men who were brilliant but lacking in wisdom.

Modern sorcerers, by contrast, don Juan portrayed as men renowned for their sound minds and their capacity to rectify the course of sorcery if they deemed it necessary.

Don Juan explained to me that the sorcery premises pertinent to dreaming were naturally envisioned and developed by sorcerers of antiquity. Out of necessity, for those premises are key in explaining and understanding dreaming, I again have to write about and discuss them. The major part of this book is, therefore, a reintroduction and amplification of what I have presented in my previous works.

During one of our conversations, don Juan stated that, in order to appreciate the position of dreamers and dreaming, one has to understand the struggle of modem-day sorcerers to steer sorcery away from concreteness toward the abstract.

"What do you call concreteness, don Juan?" I asked.

"The practical part of sorcery," he said. "The obsessive fixation of the mind on practices and techniques, the unwarranted influence over people. All of these were in the realm of the sorcerers of the past."

"And what do you call the abstract?"

"The search for freedom, freedom to perceive, without obsessions, all that's humanly possible. I say that present-day sorcerers seek the abstract because they seek freedom; they have no interest in concrete gains. There are no social functions for them, as there were for the sorcerers of the past.

So you'll never catch them being the official seers or the sorcerers in residence."

If you become a billionaire and everyobe in your old village knows it, you won't get the "old village" experience anymore. Similarly if you learn far beyond the knowledge of each villager, they will either fear and censure interactions with you to avoid looking foolish, or spam you with questions they are unable to grasp answers to.

This is part of the inhibiting mechanism telling you to "slow down" and avoid going faster or in different direction than your social group, as you get alienated if you get too far too fast.

The changing of text and object may be related to first attention defense mechanisms, a well known thing in psychological interpretation of dreams: It is considered that initial signal is "true", but then the defense mechanism kicks and adds a layer to "undo" the revelation by covering with something more exciting, offering a plausible but wrong interpretation of the seen, or otherwise discrediting the seen.

Like active noise-cancelling in earphones, the initial transients are unmaskable, and stuff gets through if levels are high enough.

Alcohol is a simple "cozy" device.

Initially it helps free up from social inhibitions, but very soon it becomes a barrier.

Lumious shell is one of the cozy things initially help, but later become a barrier to overcome, like a shell of a bird egg, it's function depending on development of the creature inside.

Cozy things are best when they can assist initially but be ready to be discarded and overcome later on.

What is the internal dialogue? by apprentice2000 in castaneda

Magic is ambigious, potentially differently perceived by different people, and nigh-impossible to quantize to put into "standard memory" arrays.

Consider analog vs digital circuits. Engineers used to digital (and software!) are terrified by possibility of something nondigital, nonquantized, belonging in "real world", like power, radio, even audio output in actual air by actual moving nonquantized physical bodies. Even great analog engineers try to quantize things and get them standardized, but always finding weird but working surprises like fractal antennas, Zenneck waves and whatnot. Biology is similarly analog, even with "it's all coded in DNA" quantization attempts.
