depth dialogue with Carlos Castaneda - I

Since the publication of "The Teachings of Don Juan", in the early seventies, Carlos Castaneda became a real myth. Much has been written about the existence of Don Juan, and considered every detail both the texts and the personal life of Castaneda, who, in turn, took care of that little is known of his identity was never found in public and kept his whereabouts. In writing his first book was a graduate student at UCLA (USA), attended regularly. In fact, one of his books, "Tales of Power", was his doctoral thesis. The teachings of Don Juan is found in the traditions of the indigenous people of Mexico and the American Southwest. And either way, the truth is that the text of Castaneda are entertaining and teaching that transmit is understandable, but often adorned with allegories and apocryphal stories. All of them have enjoyed widespread popularity with a broad spectrum of readers, and have been on the bestseller lists.

He emphasized that this conversation was published in a magazine in South America. Graciela says: "I interviewed in Los Angeles. It was very interesting, which I shared with three friends who accompanied me. Carlos Castaneda told us, with frankness and simplicity, their latest experiences. In my opinion, in the interview we were shown without masks or poses. This discussion clarifies and puts at some of the episodes referred to in his latest book, "The Eagle's Gift." I think the story of "Joe Cordova and his wife" appearance is not popularized by Carlos Castaneda and his group, which I think would be the summary or last step of the way or knowledge: the "touch down" and "being a nothing ". I ask you a few lines to let you know that the work is published in Mutantia . He had a lot of interest that was unveiled in a publication in English. I'm sure glad that enormously. "
For several months he had written ( two cards to be more precise ) when Carlos Castaneda called. His call took me completely by surprise. Castaneda spoke at length, without I asked him offered to give me information.
Castaneda was keen to meet and talk to me. He tried to make me understand that the task was doing was of great importance. "I am neither a guru nor a charlatan," he insisted doing reference to some critics and journalists. Castaneda is a researcher he was interested in talking about the ongoing work in Mexico and epistemological work. He said the European man can not conceive that there is someone who thinks there is no other description of reality than yours.
Being in Los Angeles, Carlos Castaneda called. Not finding him, left his post and the instructions on the time and meeting place: "Exit the Freeway in this street and turn right on this one. Go then four traffic lights. There is left Church of the Immaculate, turn right and you will find the campus of UCLA. Enter the "parking the" . As it is Sunday there will be anyone and you can enter without problems. Generally there are few people over the weekend. Then at 4 pm: next to the checkpoint. "
That night and next morning I worked feverishly in my notes. He had slept little but I was not tired. At one o'clock in the afternoon, my friends and I went toward the campus of UCLA. We had just over two hours away.
Castaneda Following the instructions, we arrived without difficulty at the gated entrance of the 'parking lot' of UCLA. There were still about 15 minutes to 4 pm .
At four o'clock, I looked up and saw them coming toward the car, my friend next to a dark lord and somewhat shorter than she. Castaneda was wearing a blue jacket open-necked pale cream color. I got off the car and joined them. After conventional greetings, I asked if I would use a tape recorder. In the car we had a case. "No, better not," he replied with a gesture of his shoulders, but we walked to the car to collect the notes, notebooks and books.
Loaded with books and papers, we are guided by Castaneda. He knew the way well. "That way," he said, pointing with his hand there are the prettiest bank. " Castaneda
From the beginning set the tone of the conversation and the issues that we would try. I also realized that it would not need all those questions so laboriously had prepared in advance. As I had anticipated phone, he wanted to talk about the work they were doing and the importance of their research.
The conversation was conducted in English, a language that is fluent and a great sense of humor. Castaneda is a master at the art of conversation. We talked for seven hours. Time passed without his enthusiasm and attention wane. All that afternoon
Castaneda tried to keep the conversation at a level that was not intellectual. Although undoubtedly read a lot and know the different currents of thought, at any time drew comparisons with other traditions of the past or present. "Education Toltec transmitted to us through material images that precisely because of that, they impede the interpretation is speculative. Thus Castaneda was not only completely loyal to their teachers but also the path it has chosen, he would not contaminate their teaching anything outside it. Shortly find
wanted to know the reasons for our interest in knowing. He already knew my potential projected book review and interview. Professionalism beyond all stress the importance of his books, that had so influenced us and many people. We had a deep interest in knowing the source of that teaching.
meantime, we already reached the banks and the shadow of the trees we sit.

- "Don Juan to me gave me everything," he began. When I met him he had no other interest in anthropology, but from that encounter changed. And this happened to me me not trade it for anything! "
Don Juan was present there with us. Every time I mentioned Castaneda recalled or perceived his emotion. Don Juan told us it was a totality of intensity can be fine all in every now. "Visitors all at all times is your first, your rule," he said. The Don Juan is so can not be explained and is rarely understood, "simply."

In " The second ring of power," Castaneda recalls a special feature of Don Juan and Don Genaro, from which all others lack: "None of us is willing to lend to other undivided attention, the way that Don Juan and Don Genaro did. " These words indicate that "be all" in every moment, to this presence that is Don Juan. Many times Castaneda has to refer to it as having "a gesture" that act totally free and be free.

" The second ring of power " had left me full of questions. The book interested me, especially after its second reading, but I had heard unfavorable comments. I myself had some doubts. He said that he believed "Journey to Ixtlan " was the one I had liked without knowing why. Castaneda listened and answered my words with a gesture that seemed to say: "And I, what I have to do with the taste of them all?" I was talking, looking for reasons and explanations. "Perhaps this preference is because in" Journey to Ixtlan "is perceived much love," I said. Castaneda frowned. The word love did not like. It is possible that the term has connotations for him romantic love , sentimentality or weakness . Trying to explain, I insisted that the last scene of "Journey to Ixtlan " is fraught with intensity. There Castaneda nodded. Yes, with the latter would agree. "Intensity, yes," he said, that's the word. "

insisting on the same book, I told him that some scenes I had been definitely grotesque. I was not justified. Castaneda agreed with me.
- "Yes, the behavior of these women is monstrous and grotesque, but that view was I needed to take action," he said. Castaneda needed the shock.
- "No enemy we are nothing," he continued. Being adversary is inherent in human way. Life is war, is fighting. Peace is an anomaly. " Referring to pacifism
called it a monstrosity because, he said, men "are beings of achievements and struggles."
Unable to restrain said he could not accept that qualify pacifism monstrosity.
- "And Gandhi, how do you see Gandhi, for example?"

- "Gandhi?" He said Gandhi is not a pacifist. Gandhi is one of the most formidable fighters who ever lived. And what a fighter! "

Castaneda realized then that gives special value to words. The pacifism to which he had referred could only be the pacifism of the weak, those who have no guts to be and do something else, that of one who does nothing because there is no energy goals in life in short, this self-indulgent and hedonistic pacifism.
With a sweeping gesture that would include an entire society and without values, will and energy, said:
- "All drugs ... Yes, hedonists! Castaneda
not say these concepts, and we'll ask. I understood that part of the warrior asceticism was released the human form but the unusual comments Castaneda had filled me with confusion. Gradually, however, I realized that that be "beings of achievements and struggles is a first level of the relationship. This is the raw material from which party. Don Juan in the books, always refers to the tonal good of a person. That learning begins and goes to another level. - "Can not go to the other side without losing the human way," said Castaneda.

Insisting on other aspects of his book that I had been clear, I asked about holes that fit people for the simple fact that he played.
- "Yes," said Castaneda. There are differences between people who have had children and those without. To tiptoe in front of the eagle is to be whole. A person with holes does not pass. "
The metaphor of the eagle explain to us later. For the moment passed almost unnoticed as the focus of our attention was on another topic.
- "How do you explain the attitude of Doña Soledad Pablito well as the Gorda with his daughters?" I asked earnestly. That's taking away the children that edge that we take them at birth was largely inconceivable to me. Castaneda
agreed that it is not yet well systematized that. He insisted, however, the differences between people who have played and those without.
- "Don Genaro is crazy!, Crazy! Don Juan, however, is a seriously crazy. Don Juan is slow but gets away. In the end, the two arrive ... I, like Don Juan I have holes, is say, I have to move on. The Genaros, however, have another model. Genaros, for example, have a special edge we do not. They are more nervous and running quickly ... They are very light, nothing stop them. Those who like the Gorda and I have had children, we have other characteristics that compensate for the loss. It is more sedate and although the road is long and arduous, also arrives. In general, those who have children know how to care for others. It does not mean that people without children do not know, but it's different ... In general one does not know what he does, it is unaware of the shares and then pay. I did not know what I did! He exclaimed, referring to his own personal life. At birth, my father and my mother removed them all, "he said. They were all bruised! To them I had to return that edge that had been removed. Now I have to regain the edge I lost. "
it seems that the holes to be closed has to do with biological atavism. We wanted to know if having holes is something irreparable.

- "No," he replied. You may be cured. Nothing in life is irrevocable. It is always possible to return what is not ours and recover what belongs to you. "

This idea of \u200b\u200brecovery is consistent with everything a "learning path" way in which not enough to know or to practice one or more technical but requires individual and profound transformation of self. It would be a whole system of life consistent with concrete and precise.

After a silence I asked if " The Second Ring of Power " had been published in English. According to a English publisher Castaneda was all right, but I was not sure if the book had come out or not. ( He was not very happy with the distribution of their books by the publisher of the first, "Fondo de Cultura Economica, Mexico " ).
"English translations were made by Juan Tovar, a friend of mine." Juan Tovar used the notes in English that it had provided Castaneda, notes that some critics have questioned.
The Portuguese translation seems to be very beautiful. "Yes," said Castaneda. This translation is based on the translation into French. It is very well done. "
the beginning of our conversation, Castaneda said something about" Toltec Teaching. "Also in" The Second Ring of Power "reiteration" Toltec "and" be a Toltec ".
-" What does being a Toltec ? "we asked.
According to Castaneda, Toltec word unit is a very broad meaning. It is said of someone who is a Toltec the same way you can say it is a Democrat or a philosopher. As he uses this word has nothing to do with its anthropological meaning.
( From the anthropological point of view, the palabraTolteca refers to a culture of central and southern India in Mexico which was already extinct at the time of the conquest and colonization of America. )

- "Toltec is one who knows the mysteries of stalking and sleep."

All are Toltecs. This is a small group that has kept alive a tradition of more than 3-000 years before JC
As I was working in the mystical thought and was particularly interested in establish the source and the origin of the different traditions, insisted:
- "Do you think then that the Toltec tradition offers an education that would own in America?"
Castaneda argued that it is possible that the people of America had brought some of Asia across the Bering Strait, but so many thousands of years of all that for now there are only theories.
In "Tales of Power " Don Juan speaking to Castaneda witches of "those men of knowledge" that the conquest and colonization of the white man could not destroy it nor knew of its existence and noted all incomprehensible in their world.
- "Who Toltec up the nation? Do they work together? Where do they do? "Castaneda
all our questions answered. He is now in charge of a group of young people living in the area of \u200b\u200bChiapas, southern Mexico. They all moved to the area because the lady who now will taught was located there.

"So ... Did you again? "" I felt compelled to ask, remembering the last conversation between Castaneda and the sisters at the end of " The Second Ring of Power .
-" Again you soon, as the Gorda asked him? "
- "No, I did not soon, but I came back I answered, laughing. I returned to carry out a task to which I can not quit. "
The group consists of about 14 members. While the core is 8 or 9 people, all are indispensable for the task being performed. If everyone is perfect enough, you can help a greater number of beings,

"Eight is a magic number," he said at some point. He also insisted that the Toltec not only saved but goes to the core. The others remain and are essential to continue and keep the tradition alive. It is not necessary that the group is large, but each of which is involved in the task is definitely necessary for the whole.

- "La Gorda and I are responsible for the close. Well, really I am responsible but she helps me closely in this task," said Castaneda.
We spoke after the group members knew from their 1ibros. He told us that Don Juan was Indian Yaqui, Sonora. Pablito, however, was Indian Mixteco, and Nestor was Mazatec ( of Mazatlan, Sinaloa province ). Benigno was Zotsil ( Sotzil ). He stressed several times that Josephine was not India but was Mexican and that one of his grandparents was of French origin. La Gorda, as Nestor and Don Genaro was Mazateca. "When I met the woman Gorda was a huge, heavy and all beaten by life None of those who met today can imagine that now is the same as before." ;
We wanted to know what language it was communicating with everybody in the group, and what was the language generally used between them. I reminded him that his books contain references to some Indian languages.
- "We communicate in English because the language we all speak. Moreover, neither Joseph nor Mrs. Tolteca are Indian. I just speak a language little india. Phrases, such as greetings and some other expression. I know I can hold a conversation. "Taking a break yours
asked if the task they are doing is open to all men or if it is something for the few.
As our questions sought to discover the relevance of the "Teaching Tolteca" and the value of the group's experience for the rest of humanity, Castaneda explained that each group member has specific tasks to perform, whether in the area of \u200b\u200bYucatan, in other areas Mexico or elsewhere.
- "Performing tasks, one discovers a lot of things that are directly applicable to concrete situations of daily life. Learn a lot by doing chores. The Genaros, for example, have a band with that cover all parts of the border. You can imagine that they see and are in contact with many people. Always have the potential to transmit knowledge. Always help. It will help with a word, with a little hint ... Each one, faithfully fulfilling its task, it does.

All people can learn. Everyone has the opportunity to live as warriors. Any person can undertake the task of the warrior. The only requirement is a desire to do so with an unshakeable desire, that is, one must be steadfast in the desire to be free.

The road is not easy. We constantly look for excuses and try to escape. It is possible for the mind I do that, but the body feels all ... The body learns quickly and easily. The Toltec can not spend energy on nonsense, "he continued. I was one of those people who can not be without friends ... Neither the film could go alone! "

Don Juan at one point told him to drop everything and, in particular, separated from all those friends with whom I had nothing in common. long resisted the idea until it was finally wrapping.
- "Once, returning to Los Angeles, got off the car a block before coming home and telephoned. Of course that day, like everyone, my house was full of people, I attended one of my friends whom I asked to prepare a bag with some things and brought me to where I was. I also told him that the other things, books, records, etc.: They could be divided between them. Of course my friends did not believe me and took all things on loan, "said Castaneda.
This act of getting rid of the library is like cutting discs with all the past, a world of ideas and emotions.
- "My friends thought I was crazy and waited to return to my madness. I did not see as in twelve years ... Yes, for about twelve years, "he said.
After those twelve years, Castaneda was able to meet with them again. He looked first at one of his friends who brought him into contact with others. plan after an outing in which they were together for dinner . That day I had a great time. ate a lot and his friends got drunk.
- "to meet them after all these years was my way of thanking the friendship that I had provided earlier. Now everyone is older. Have families, wives, children ...

was necessary, however, I thank them. Only then could I finish with them once and close a stage in my life. "

may Castaneda's friends do not understand and can share anything of what he is doing, but the fact that he wanted and could thank it was very nice. Castaneda was not angry with they did not intend anything from them. He thanked them sincerely for your friendship and in so doing, broke inside of all that happened.

speak then of love, "the much-vaunted love." He told us several anecdotes of his Italian grandfather, "always so amorous, and his father" as Bohemia. "Oh! L'amore! L'amore! "." Repeated several times. All comments tended to destroy the ideas commonly have about love.
- "It took me a lot to learn, he continued. I was also very amorous ... A Don Juan, struggled to make myself understood to be cut with certain relationships. The way it was finally cut to the next. I invited her to dinner and we are in a restaurant. During dinner I ever went wrong. There was a big fight and she screamed and cursed. Finally I asked him if he had money. I said yes. I took to say he had to go to the car find my wallet or something. I got up and never returned. Before leaving I wanted to make sure I had enough money to take a taxi and go home. Since then I have not seen since. I'm not going to believe you, but the Toltec very ascetic, "he said.
No doubt his word I said that this idea did not follow from" The second ring.
- "On the contrary, "I emphasized. I think in his book many scenes and attitudes are confusing.
- "How do you think I would say that clearly? "I answered. He could not say that relations between them were pure because not just anybody would have believed me but nobody would understand me. "

After listening to Castaneda, we are convinced that The Toltec sex is a huge expenditure of energy you need for any job. We then understand your insistence on totally ascetic relations between the members of the group.

- "From the point of view of the world, leads the group life and their relations is totally unacceptable and outrageous. What would I tell them not credible. It took me a long time but I could understand finally prove. "
Castaneda had told us earlier that when a person loses a reproduced edge special. It seems that this edge is a force that the children taken from parents simply by birth. This gap that the person is left is to be filled or recovered. We need to regain the strength that has been lost. We also gave to understand that long-term sexual relationship of a couple ends for wear. In an emerging relationship differences that make these are being gradually rejecting certain characteristics of one or the other. Consequently, for the reproduction of the other party chooses what one likes, but there is no guarantee that what you choose is necessarily better. "From the standpoint of reproduction," he said, it is best at randum . " Castaneda strove to better explain these concepts, but again had to admit they are issues he it is not yet clear.

Castaneda came

describing a group whose demands for the common people, were extreme. We were very interested in knowing where it led that effort.
- "What is the sole objective of Toltec ?" We wanted to know the meaning of all that Castaneda was saying.
- "What is the objective that you sought?" -Insist bringing the question to a personal level.
- "The goal is to get out of the living world, get away with all one's but with nothing more than what one is. The point is not to take anything or leave anything. Don Juan was left enterito - alive! the world. Don Juan does not die because the Toltec not die ".
( In" The Second Ring of Power ", the Gorda Castaneda instructs him about the dichotomy of" nagual-tonal. " The domain of the second attention "is only achieved after the Warriors swept clean the surface of the table ... this second focus attention makes the two form a unit and this unit is the totality of oneself." The same book, Castaneda tells Gorda: "When witches learn to" dream ", her two attention and tie, then there is no need to push out the center ... Sorcerers not die ... Not that we do not die. We are nothing, we Badulaques (fools) are neither here nor there. They, in turn, have their attention so closely that may never die. )
According to Castaneda, the idea that we are free is an illusion and an absurdity. He strove to make us understand that common sense deceives us because ordinary perception tells us only part of the truth.
- "Ordinary perception does not tell the whole truth. There must be something more than just time on earth, that only eat and reproduce," he said vehemently. And with a gesture interpreted as referring to no sense of everything and the immense tedium of everyday life in his boredom, he asked: - "What is all this around us?"
Common sense would be that we have reached agreement after a long educational process that requires us ordinary perception as the only truth.

- "Indeed, the art of the witch," he said is to bring the learner to discover and destroy the perceptual bias. "

According to Castaneda, Edmund Husserl is the first in the West to conceive the possibility of "suspending the trial." The phenomenological method does not deny but simply "put in brackets" those elements that underpin our perception ordinary.
Castaneda believes that phenomenology offers the theoretical and methodological framework more useful to understand the teaching of Don Juan. For phenomenology the act of knowledge depends on the intention and not the perception. Always perception varies according to a story that is, depending on the subject with knowledge acquired and immersed in a particular tradition. The most important rule of the phenomenological method is that of "to the things themselves."
- "The task that Don Juan made me, he insisted, was gradually breaking perceptual bias up to the total breakdown." Phenomenology
suspended the trial and limited the description of the pure intentional.
- "So, for example, the object house I built. The phenomenological relation is minimal. The intent is what transforms the reference into something concrete and singular."

How Does My Infant Have Flea Bites

The unwinding of the skeleton

"In the end I come to believe in something I call the physics of the search , a force of nature, governed by gravity, it says something like: If you have the courage to leave behind everything you comfort or protection, and embark on a journey in search of truth either exterior or interior, and if you are willing to let everything go on that trip will enlighten you as what you find in that way teach you something and if you are prepared to confront and forgive some realities yourself harder, then truth will not be denied. "

In the movie" Eat, Pray Love "

The Skeleton Woman story contains a" test of the suitor. "tests in the lovers of the suitors have to test their legitimate intentions and abilities and tend to demonstrate that they have balls or ovaries to deal with a kind of powerful and fearsome numinosity, whom we call nature Life / Death / Life, while others might call it an aspect of self, or spirit of Love and others would call God or the grace, spirit energy or any other qualifier.
The fisherman shows his legitimate intentions, their skills and growing commitment to the Skeleton Woman, untangling the line. The covers curled and bent at impossible angles and sees in it a glimpse of something, he knows not what. He fled from her, gasping and sobbing. Now intends to play it. Its very existence he touches the heart. When we understand the loneliness of the nature of life / Death / Life inside the psyche, she who without any fault on their part is constantly rejected ... that we too can move us his torment.
If we love, however great may be our fear and suspicion, we are prepared to unravel the bones of the nature of death and see what happens. We will want to touch what is beautiful and what is not beautiful yet another person and ourselves. Behind this challenge lies a clever test of the self. And is this even more clearly in the tales of the beautiful as ugly is presented to test someone's character.
In " Diamonds, rubies and pearls , a stepdaughter good but denigrated draws water from the well for a wealthy stranger, and is rewarded with the gift of the mouth throwing diamonds, rubies and pearls every time he speaks. The stepmother orders her lazy daughter to go to the same well to await the Over rich stranger. But this time it has a ragged stranger. When it asks for a dipper of water, the girls refuse to give it proudly. The stranger the reward with punishment to throw at the mouth snakes, frogs and lizards for ever.
justice in fairy tales, as in the deep psyche, kindness with what appears below is rewarded with a good and the refusal to show good to someone who lacks beauty and punishes insults. The same holds great emotional states like love. When we stretch and bowed to touch what is not beautiful, we receive a reward. If we neglect what is not beautiful, we isolate ourselves from real life and we are out, dead cold.
Some find it easier to think of things sublime and beautiful and touching everything that transcends us positively, instead of play, providing help and assistance which is not so positive. It is easier, as illustrated by the story, do not depart from the beautiful and above, falsely feel honored. This is the love problem posed by dealing with the Skeleton Woman.

What is not beautiful? What is not beautiful is our secret desire to be loved. What is not beautiful is the disuse and misuse of love. Our abandonment of loyalty and appreciation is unpleasant, our sense of isolation of the soul is ugly, our psychological warts, our shortcomings, our misunderstandings and our childhood fantasies are not so beautiful ( fear of failure, fear of abandonment, cowardice to take risks, ... ). And besides, our cultures view nature not beautiful Life / Death / Life, enlightening, destroy and re-lighting. Untangling
Skeleton Woman is to understand the conceptual error and remedied. Untangling Skeleton Woman is to understand that love does not mean perennially lit candles and rose steadily. Skeleton Woman unravel means to feel comforted rather than frightened in the darkness of regeneration. Means a salve for old wounds. It means changing our way of seeing and being to reflect health and not just the shortcomings of the soul.
have to love to touch the bony woman basic and not too pleasant, unraveling the meaning of this nature in our own interest, placing the bones back into place and allowing them to live again. Not enough to pull the unconscious to rise to the surface and not even enough to drag Skeleton Woman accidentally to our house. The progress of love stops when the subject of fear or contempt for a long time.
The fact unravel the mystery of the Skeleton Woman begins to break the spell ... ie, fear consumed and perish forever. From the standpoint of archetypal, to unravel something you can descend and follow a maze until you can get to the underworld or the place where the issues are revealed in a completely different way. You have to follow something that at first seems a complex process, but in reality, is a deep pattern of renewal. In fairy tales, solve the riddle, to undo a knot, untie and unravel means begin to understand something which until then was unknown to us, understand their applications and use, become a magician, a wise soul. When the fisherman untangles
Skeleton Woman, begins to acquire a direct knowledge of the joints of Life and Death. The skeleton is an excellent representative picture of the nature of life / Death / Life. As a mental image, the skeleton is made up of hundreds of small and large sticks and knots of odd shapes in continuous and harmonious relationship between them. When a bone rotates, rotating every other even imperceptibly. Cycles of Life / Death / Life are exactly alike. When life moves, the bones move with Death. When Death moves, the bones of life are also beginning to turn.
addition, when a bone is dislocated or splinter, leaving him spurs or have a subluxation, the integrity of the whole suffers from it. When you delete the nature of life / Death / Life in his own person or in a relationship is the same. The very life goes limp recovers, limps and protects the movement. When damage occurs in these structures and cycles, provided there is a disruption of the libido. And then it is not love. We stayed under the water surface and become a mere bones taken by the current forward and backward. Untangling
this nature means learning their buffers, their habits and movements. Means familiar with the cycles of life and death, to memory, check that all act together and form a single body the same way that the skeleton is a single organism.

Fear is not a valid excuse for not carrying out the task. All we are afraid. When living, they are afraid. Among the Inuit, the Raven is a scammer. In his role underdeveloped, is a creature full of appetites. He likes only the pleasure and try to avoid all the uncertainties and fears attached to them. It is very jealous and also very greedy. Panic if something does not seem satisfactory at first sight. And he rushes about it when it seems desirable. He likes bright abalone shells of the silver beads, the endless food, hot gossip and sleep on the smoke hole of the igloo. The would-be lover and the Raven who just wants to "play it safe." As the Crow, the ego is afraid that the passion is over and try by all means avoid the end of the meal, the fire, day and pleasure. The Crow, like ego, is clever but always at their own peril, for when you forget your soul, it loses all power.
The ego is afraid that if we recognize the presence of the nature of life / Death / Life in our lives, we can not go back to being happy again. Have we always been quite happy? No. But the undeveloped ego is as simple as a child is socialized and over, not too casual, it's more like a boy who walks constantly vigilant to take the largest slice, the softest bed, the most handsome lover.
Three things distinguish the living from the soul of a living exclusively the ego and are

the ability to perceive and learn new ways of doing things,

tenacity

travel a bumpy road

and patience needed to learn to love deeply and for a long time.

But the ego has a tendency and inclination to keep learning. Patience is not his thing. Long-term relationships are not the strong point of Cuervo. Therefore, we do not love another person from the perennially changing ego but from the wild soul.
You need a "wild patience", as he says in his poem "Integrity " Adrienne Rich , To untangle the bones, learn the meaning of the Lady of Death and have sufficient tenacity to stay with her. It would be a mistake to think that we need a muscular hero to achieve such a thing. Not so. You need a heart to be born and die and die and be born again and again. The fact unravel
Skeleton Woman reveals that it is old and older than the set time. It's her, the Lady of Death, which measures the energy compared to the distance, which weighs over time compared with the libido, which weighs the spirit in comparison with survival. Meditate about it, study it, consider it and then proceeds to infuse a or two sparks or a sudden blaze of wildfire or reduce some of its force, to cover it with ashes or turn it off completely. She knows what to do. Know when it's time.
In this sense, therefore, a lover who used to be a little inexperienced in love takes a lot more skill by observing Skeleton Woman and the ranking of their bones. As a person begins to understand the patterns of Life / Death / Life cycles can provide the relationship, knowing that it corresponds to a decrease and an increased abundance wear.
A person who has untangled Skeleton Woman knows what patience and can wait. Do not be surprised or frightened by the shortage, do not feel overwhelmed by the fulfillment of his desires. Their need to achieve, to get things "right away", they become more refined art of looking all facets of the relationship and see how they work cycles of the relationship. Not afraid to get in touch with the beauty of the violence, with the beauty of the unknown and the beauty of the not beautiful. And thanks to learning and knowledge of all these things, it becomes the quintessential lover wild. How
a man learns these things? How would anyone learn? Enter into direct dialogue with the nature of life / Death / Life paying attention to this inner voice is not the ego.

"All religions are right in one way or another. They are correct when understood metaphorically. But when you get stuck on their own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you're in trouble. "

Joseph Campbell

Among the traditional North American Indian mythology there are two conflicting, depending on hunting tribes or planters. Those who are primarily hunters, put the emphasis of his religious life in the fast individual to obtain views. Among the tribes
planters-the Hopi, Zuni and other Pueblo Indians, life is organized around the rich and elaborate ceremonies of the masked gods. These rituals are complicated and the entire community participates in them, are organized as a religious calendar and direct skilled priests.
The contrast between two visions of the world becomes more evident when compared to the priest and the shaman. The priest is a member of a recognized religious organization which plays a role and a position he held others before him, while the shaman is one who, as a result of a personal psychological crisis, has obtained certain powers own. Spiritual visitors were presented to the vision never before seen by any other, were his personal and family protection. Moreover, the masked gods of the people, the maize gods and the gods of the clouds, served by companies of priests strictly organized and very disciplined, employers are well known throughout the village and have been represented in ceremonial dances since time immemorial.
The stories draw on shamanism Joseph Campbell in his work on mythology The Masks of God "show once again, and with plenty of examples, the match between beliefs and religions around the world.

"In" The Masks of God ", Joseph Campbell meets the culmination of nearly seven decades of research and passionate meditation on the religious phenomenon, approached from different cultural perspectives and disciplines. Is a work that ranges from the early the human species until the second third of the twentieth century, written with elegant simplicity in language accessible to any reader, the author whose writing was twelve, divided into four volumes: Primitive Mythology (Vol. I), Oriental Mythology (Vol. II ), Occidental Mythology (Vol. III) and Creative Mythology (Vol. IV).

The title refers to his central idea that religions and mythologies "are metaphors" of God. It should be noted that the term "mythology" not been here at all a pejorative connotation. The comparative study of all the mythologies of the world alike, leading to see the cultural history of mankind as a unit. "Because (says) we find that issues such as theft of fire, flood, the land of the dead, the virgin birth and the hero resurrected have a worldwide distribution, appear everywhere in new combinations, though, as the crystals of uncaleidoscopio, only a few, and always the same. " This is the cornerstone of the thought of Campbell.

addition, all mythologies are also common to have four basic functions:

1. The first is the mystical function, which noted with reverential awe and admiration the wonders that are the universe and the subject itself beholder. Open, well, the size and understanding of the transcendent mystery that underlies all the forms that occur in the real world of the individual.

2. The second is a cosmological dimension, seeking to account for the nature, origin and shape of the universe.

3. The third is sociological, as valid and certain social order based. In this regard, the myths vary enormously from place to place and time. For example, some posit monogamy, some polygamy, and the bulk of whom are born and grow in a uotro framework, that is the proper order, right and desirable in society.

4. The fourth function of the whole mythology is educational, as well how to live a human life in all circumstances.

The first two-pleasure and power-are implicit At each person from birth, as psycho-biological emergency primary. The need for commitment to the social order is not innate, but it is instilled to the child and youth through education: ideally, leads to the death of the infantile ego and the emergence of an adult ego, socially desirable. These three patterns of human behavior often clashing in the lives of individuals, and related mythology should provide a common framework in which conflicts can be resolved acceptably.

But it must also be able to overcome all these conflicts, and this is his fourth role: responding to the sacred awe before the mystery of the universe, support the mind in its detachment from the other three already mentioned and hold it for the experience that is traditionally described as mystical or religious, but Campbell also considers eminently aesthetic.

The world of the shaman appears especially in America, but his views coincide with those described by the Hindu philosophers thousands of years before Christ. According to the primitive belief , the realm of myth must be the whole show in the world. And it is because of the reality of trance and deep impression that this experience left in the mind of the shaman for what he believes in his ability and powers, but for a popular show have to do an external representation misleading, often imitating one of the wonders that their spirits have shown at the Magic Kingdom behind the veil.

"From Wakan-Tanka, the Great Mystery, comes all the power," said an old

Sioux chief. So:

"We are of the substance

of which dreams are made, and our short life

ends with a dream,"

wrote Shakespeare could have fact any Indian, or any American shaman. Shamanic
affinity with nature is hidden deeper and it may seem at first glance. There are documented stories about the incredible sensitivity of the tribes in the deep forest, but nevertheless fall short of the power, strength, the shaman on the nature, touching those hidden behind the veil centers that break the normal circuits, natural energy and create transformations.
Castaneda was not the only author to describe certain inner experiences through which the shaman gets his power ( and deriving the reasons for their rites ). They can also continue to examine the autobiographies collected in recent years the shamans of the Buriat, Yakut, Ostyak, Vogul and Tungus Siberia's vast quadrangle, bounded on the west by the Yenisei River, east of the Lena River, south on Lake Baikal and north of the Taimyr Peninsula - has been since the Paleolithic shamanism classical academy, and today is the most powerful center survivor.

In a fundamental sense, the shaman is in front of the group, because for him the whole sphere of interests and anxieties of the group is secondary. And yet, as it has touched the hearts of the world ( which the group and their areas of concern are but manifestations ) can help their neighbors in a surprising way with its mysterious power.
A way of life that is ending (or mutation) in this period of transition irreversible. The promise of the future and not part of the piety of the planter, but the magic of the laboratory or the "spacecraft", where the gods once sat ...
