Female Warrior - The Toltec Path
The moment ideologies – including nagualism – become widespread, they become cultural mafias, schools to make people sleepy. No matter how subtle their postulates are, and no matter how much they try to validate them with personal corroboration, they end up conditioning our actions according to some form of reward or punishment, and by doing that, they pervert the very essence of the search. If the pillar of my faith is a salary, what merit does it have? ~ Carlos Castaneda
“Toltec Mastery” has become one such school to make people sleepy and this is evident in the work of those who pretend to bring this important knowledge of the Toltec forward. I am diligent in my efforts to disengage from the Toltec label since it is becoming a cult-like, dogmatic structure that has more to do with outmoded and repetitious patterns that are found in predominant worldwide religions and…

How easy it is to be cruel when afraid, and how difficult it is to accept that we are all capable of terrible things, and how cleansing it is to realize that true kindness breathes just beneath this acceptance. – Mark Nepo

Hermes dictum (or whatever) – as above so below – Fractals and Iterations –
this is the “type” o’stuff i be feelin’ compelled to say to my loved ones (and sometimes do)
The emergency has already begun, globally and personally, and yall actin’ like everything is “normal”. Like yall don’ even wanna seriously think ’bout what’s goin’ on ’round ya, much less talk about, heaven forbid actually do something.
The primary issue, in every sphere, is survival (understanding, of course, we are free to thrive).
But the overall arc, as measured against the ingrained dominant mindset of the collective, is one of decline, a sacrifice of the old habits, expectations, and “things” that underlie our dominant set of behaviours.
In other words, we are confronted with radical change whether we want it or not, whether we like it or not. Why not take active control of the process?
Many people have been seein’ this and talkin’ ’bout this for a long time. And many people have been preparing and transforming for a long time. But these are the very few.
At some point – This Point Here and Now – the outward circumstances force all to confront the truth. And the truth is as simple as preserving our health and well being. Or maybe establishing our health and well being.
The days of “progress” and “evolution”, as defined by our culture, are over.
Just as night is followed by day and the seasons cycle, now is the time of contraction. The expansion has already stopped. The pendulum is swingin’ back. There is enough science and literature that document this – we need to grasp the specifics and share them, so that everybody knows the same thing at the same time, share the tools of transformation and creation, locally/globally, throughout the whole of space and time.
But more importantly, immediately, here and now, personally, today, we must act.
We must confront directly the implications for our families and neighborhoods. We must decide our course so that we all understand the same thing and either act together or splinter and create new ways of survival appropriate to the crisis.
Our most significant and essential tool as human beings is our state of mind or “that which is of highest value”.
To address this issue may be the single most difficult task, and conversely our single most all encompassing blessing. The bottom line here is simple and direct – love and understanding.
The situation, this crisis, this emergency already implies a total and complete upheaval, a reversal of not only the way of our daily life, but of our way of thinking and viewing the world. And i think it may be characterized in the moment by one word. Sacrifice.
Sacrifice the old dreams and expectations. Sacrifice habitual thinking and living. Sacrifice the “self”. Self sacrifice, inwardly and outwardly. Expand personally and intimately, family and neighborhood, community and bioregion. Planet.
We must observe, plan and act – with the flexibility of willingness and readiness, of learning and discipline – to adjust and adapt as the new progression, the new r-evolution.
The long decline is the loss of our comfort and easy survival – but inwardly and spiritually, in our soul, is demanded a long ascent, an expansion of our mind.
What produced the emergency was the expansion of our “self” which pushed the spirit of god aside.
So all that shit i just been talkin’ a variation, an iteration of the shit i always be thinkin’. ‘Course, sometimes it like chemical psy enhancement, where observation pulsates, like when ya lookin’ at a persion rug, say for instance, and one color appears dominant then another appears dominant and so too the different patterns emerge and recede, and you see the same phenomena where ever you look and you listen and hear the street sounds and people and children and nature, bird calls and insects, the smell of flowers and mown grass and it all comes together as an unstoppable symphony and the magesty of life is understood to be, the deep significance, the very meaning of existence being human relationship in the womb of cosmic light nested in the shade of Mother Earth like an exploding invisible sun in the center of yo’ brain that instantly incinerates all yo’ sin and the shit vomit that floods your sinus cavities and fills your skull and you disappear entirely momentarily or sometimes it might be like when you share that with a friend and he wants to bring in the pride of his life and his posessions and an immense steel iron psychic wedge descends on him and splits him in two irreparably and forever threatening you except for the invisible sun done burnt you up anyway so there aint nothin’ left to harm and maybe then you should have learnt that not everybody gonna get it all at the same time so that they become a priority to love and care for, those who are still waiting …
… and the same patterns fractally iterate throughout the whole of space and time …
But anyway its all about the children’s safety and security, plain and simple. Why? Selfish Genes, the physical world, spirit manifest (the supposed drivers of this culture’s evolution – memes – notwithstanding), is the deepest gut feeling – the furthest expansion of the spirit, through generations.
Need to start factoring in fractals and iterations into your worldview, moment to moment, on a daily basis, with each pulse of the universe.
So here ends an example of what i had to get off my chest. May further explore some of the issues raised (may forget).
