TENSEGRITY-LETTER FROM MILES AND AERIN

Dearest Practitioners:

In this turning point of the year, the day of the highest point of light, we are writing to you to thank you for your letters expressing your views, feelings and questions regarding the recently posted bulletin(s) on the Cleargreen web page. We are deeply touched and grateful for all the individual emails and phone calls we have been receiving with expressions of affection, support and concern.

Your collective letters, signed by so many of you and representing many others, have not fallen on deaf ears. The events that have unfolded over the last couple of months have had a profound effect on all of us. We have taken this time to look inside, to examine and embrace all of our feelings and questions, and from a better place today we write to you.

We feel it is important to address your questions regarding which were the differences that seemed not to allow us to work together, so what follows is our understanding of the situation and our perceptions of the apparent differences.

There is indeed for us a lingering sadness that our colleagues have chosen to separate from us. Carlos Castaneda trained and passed on the knowledge of this lineage to a large number of individuals. We feel we are ALL guardians and protectors of this work. It has become our life’s purpose to live and share it with impeccability and humbleness, so it is important for us to clarify that we are not departing from Cleargeen, from teaching Tensegrity, nor from the community. There is no way to depart from what we are.

For a while some of us at Cleargreen had felt the need for a change towards more integration, openness and sharing, and we couldn’t find common ground. Then, last February, we received a letter signed by a group of seasoned practitioners, who had been working closely with us for many years. The practitioners felt something was not right and asked us to be honest and to share with them what was happening. They also expressed that they wanted to participate in a more responsible and inclusive way. We, Aerin and Miles, agreed with their view but, unfortunately, our colleagues did not. Our colleagues informed us that they viewed our differences as an “internal affair.” They declared that, as a corporation, these differences were not to be made public (even though they already were public). We feel that the very nature of our community cannot be defined by corporate rules of conduct, since this is an evolving shared dream.

We were in the midst of communicating and working out our different views, when the decision to cut ties with us was suddenly announced to everyone. Despite one of our premises, as taught in workshops, that individuals work together to solve discrepancies and find common ground, this action effectively stopped any efforts to integrate those differences.

For us, community relationships have been an important priority and commitment. At the core of what we believe and trust is the willingness to engage in a shared decision making process, with ALL elements of the Tensegrity structure involved. We recognize the role of practitioners in carrying this work forward and in encouraging and inviting them with shared responsibilities, to continue to share with others the knowledge and passion we all feel for this work.

Carlos Castaneda expressed his wish to create self-organized practice groups and his respect for practitioners. He wrote:

As time passed, the nature of leadership and authority among them became evident [Don Juan] was surprised and somehow delighted to realize that no one was better or higher than another. Some of them performed functions of which the others were incapable, but that did not make them superior. It simply made them different. - The Power of Silence

Buckminster Fuller, who inspired Carlos Castaneda to utilize the concept of Tensegrity to describe magical passes and the legacy of the practitioners he was dreaming of, wrote a short and beautiful poem that we read at a workshop; it describes how we are choosing to live as we go forward:

Love is omni-inclusive,
Progressively exquisite,
Understanding and tender
And compassionately attuned
To other than self.

In this spirit we continue practicing, intending our assemblage points to a place of unconditional affection and love. We see this moment as a great opportunity to really find out who we are: a community that is dreaming and stalking a dream of freedom of perception, a path with heart, collaborating to create something new, something inclusive and self organizing, and sharing in a way that exudes a contagious enthusiasm. As one of you stated in your letters, we “seek to be a part of a Tensegrity community that explores, researches, and disseminates knowledge for the benefit of all.”

After all that has happened, what remains for us is our deep affection and respect for ALL our colleagues. We are dreaming forward, and our vision is a dream where there is room for all; families and friends, teachers and students, all dancing to mother Earth under the Sun. Can we create a structure where all these different possibilities find their place?

We are part of the Tensegrity community and we will continue to share with you what the nagual taught us in whatever way is suitable. We are open to hear from you what you need from us, or whatever you want to share. If you want to reach us, find our email addresses below.

Living forward, joyfully and with purpose, guided by the Spirit and the lineage of don Juan and the seers of ancient Mexico, and all the teachers that come our way.

With all our affection,

Miles Reid and Aerin Alexander

GRUPURI DE PRACTICA SPIRITUALA

Imi amintesc cum am pasit prima oara in spatiul in care se desfasura primul seminar Tensegrity la care am participat, in 1999 la Hannover. Era un spatiu sacru, sacralizat nu prin vreun ritual complicat sau mantre cintate, ci prin unitatea indestructibila a practicantilor de acolo cu ei insisi si cu Spiritul. Cu Intentia. Am simtit pentru prima oara ca am ajuns acasa si ca aici s-a terminat cautarea mea.

Mai tirziu, peste 2 ani cind plina de entuziasm am cautat-o pe Lidia, cea care tradusese 'Trecerea vrajitorilor' in Romania si care fusese prima romanca partcipanta la un seminar Tensegrity, Lidia care o cunoscuse personal pe Taisha Abelar si vorbise cu ea, am fost dezamagita.
Probabil deprimata de raspunsul Taishei la intrebarea sa legata de creearea unui grup in Romania, raspuns ce sunase cam asa:"Romania inca nu este energetic pregatita sa suporte un grup Tensegrity", Lidia a decis ca eu sint ciudata si ca vreau ceva de la ea, din moment ce o vizitam incercind sa ii arat ultimele pase pe care le invatasem la seminarii.
Mie mi s-a parut ciudata atitudinea ei negativista, ascunsa, dezinteresata, atit de diferita de cea a colegilor mei de practica de la Berlin, sau a celorlalti practicanti cu care ma intilnisem la seminarii, din Grecia, Rusia, Bulgaria, Spania sau Italia.

Grupul de la Berlin ramine pentru mine cel mai bun exemplu de dedicatie, disciplina, amicitie discreta, sprijin la nevoie si manifestare in forme diferite dar tolerate a energiei. Grupul meu de practica era ceea ce inseamna cu adevarat un grup de practica:fara fite, fara talente, fara trancaneli inutile, ci doar munca, daruire, disciplina, simplitate, modestie.

Cind m-am intors din Germania in Romania, am organizat primul grup de Tensegrity de la noi. Am mers pe energia mea, si da, nu ma sfiesc sa o spun, a mea, timp de 2 ani. Am inceput cu prieteni apropiati, apoi am incercat sa extind grupul prin anunturi pe siteul Cleargreen. Practica nu costa decit atit cit trebuia sa platim la sala strict, dar pentru ca lumea nu era serioasa si odata venea, o data nu, am decis sa inchid sala. Am continuat in Parcul Tineretului, in fiecare duminica, si apoi acasa la mine, cind vremea nu ne pemitea sa practicam afara.

Am ramas cu un gust amar in ceea ce priveste practicantii romani;
-90% din cei ce au venit la mine au venit pentru ca doreau SA DISCUTE despre Tensegrity si cartile lui CARLOS CASTANEDA.
-29% au venit pentru ca li s-a parut o noua metoda de terapie transpersonala si deci o cale de a deveni guru si celebri.
-1% din cei ce au venit au venit pentru practica, dar jumatate s-au lasat invinsi de duritatea energetica a sistemului ce nu tolereaza importanta de sine, lipsa de disciplina si socializarea.Nu ma intelegeti gresit-toti avem caderi, dar ne vinam slabiciunile, ne ridicam si o luam de la capat.

Din grupul initial au ramas doar 3 oameni in afara de mine, la care s-au mai adaugat 4 persoane pe parcurs, si aici ma refer la practicanti seriosi.
Am incercat sa caut scuze pentur aceasta stare de fapt:
1-ca Romania este lucrata energetic, ca orice focar de putere-dar hey si Israelul este si mai nashpa inca, iata razboaiele de acolo si totusi practicantii din Israel sint senzationali.
2-ca oamenii de aici nu sint obisnuiti cu disciplina-ma intreb de ce
3-ca lumea nu are timp-da' nemtii veneau direct de la lucru cu haine de schimb in rucsac.
4-ca lumea nu are incredere in energia/practica de grup-rright se cheama egoism, boala de care am suferit si io la inceput, trebuie sa marturisesc, cind nu aveam chef sa lucrez cu grupul. Dar se trateaza.

As mai putea gasi multe alte scuze, dar in final trebuie sa-i dau dreptate Taishei. Romanii sint mult prea lenesi, egoisti si preocupati de cistig personal pentru a face grupuri de practica sipirituala autentice.
Cea mai noua si trista experienta a mea este grupul de 'practicanti' de pe linga lama Tanpai, un om exceptional si un autentic guru.
Din pacate pot spune cu mina pe inima ca adevaratii frati spirituali ai mei din grupul lui nu sint romanii, ci practicantii unguri, care, spre desobire de cei din Rromania care au fost pusi de lama sa ne anunte pe toti cind se vor desfasura evenimentele legate de Mahamudra organizate de el, nu o fac. Ci au creat un cerc restrins care se anunta intre ei, gasind diverse scuze ca pe noi, plebea nu ne-au anuntat.
Din fericire cei din Ungaria-culmea- ne anunta si pe noi, cei ce ne-am abonat la newsletterul lor

SI atunci va mai repet odata:
NU, Romania nu este cea mai spirituala tara din lume unde doar pentru ca ne-am nascut aici o sa fim transbordati direct in rai.Fara munca, practica spirituala, disciplina si boddhichitta toti va duceti in iad. Desigur si io.
Nu, Romania doar pentru ca este crestina de 2000 de ani, nu este gradina Maicii Domnului. A da, aia exista in alta vibratie. VOi nu sinteti in ea.
Nu, Romania nu va fi noul Ierusalim.Poate noua Sodoma.

Cu tristete va las in compania unei adevarate practici de grup

The Theater of Infinity™ comes to London! An Interview with Renata Murez and Nyei Murez, students of Carlos Castaneda
with Greg Johnson and Tomislav Maric

 This evolutionary element from the lineage of seers of Carlos Castaneda’s teacher, don Juan Matus, comes to the UK on November 24 and 25 in a workshop on Tensegrity®, the modern form of the energy-enhancing movements known as Magical Passes®, and other practices for expanding awareness that don Juan taught Carlos Castaneda, Florinda Donner-Grau, Taisha Abelar and Carol Tiggs. 

Don Juan was a Yaqui Indian seer and a nagual, meaning a leader of a group of men and women seers whose lineage begins in ancient Mexico and whose practices support a way of knowledge devoted to enhanced awareness and the recognition of the interconnectedness of all beings.

 Renata and Nyei are the creative directors of Cleargreen, the Los Angeles organization founded by the students of don Juan to sponsor workshops and publications on Tensegrity, and informed by the guidance of their teachers, have been co-leading workshops on this evolutionary art for twenty years. 

They and a team of associates will come to London to train new instructors in the art, and to introduce a new layer of one of the units of don Juan’s lineage: Theater of Infinity. 

 Here they answer questions from Greg Johnson, Director of Concord Institute in London, and from Tomislav Maric, Educator.

 Regarding the workshop on November 24 and 25:

(1)           What is the Theater of Infinity? What was the Theater of Infinity for the seers of ancient Mexico? For the modern-day seers?

Nyei: The Theater of Infinity has its roots in the physical and energetic movements that originated in don Juan’s lineage thousands of years ago, movement sequences where one is calling on the awareness of other life forms, such as the coyote, the crustacean, the butterfly, the bird, the plumed serpent, and so on. 

In these sequences, one is momentarily stepping outside the human perspective to get a glimpse of the awareness of these other creatures, and so, to get a broader view also of the human form, and of oneself–to see from a different angle, so to speak. 

This renders the human, or the personal perspective, less solid, less “final”; it is no longer the only way to look at things. Freed from the finality of such a limited view, we are put in touch with infinity.

Reni: This ease of ‘shape-shifting,’ or ‘perception-shifting’ as modern day seers like to call it, belonged once to our very early human ancestors. Human identity was not so separate from other forms of life. 

Ancient man experienced his world as an interconnected web of which he felt himself an inseparable part. 

But eventually ‘separateness’ and an identification of ‘self’ distinct from other sentient beings entered in, and shaman-seers, wishing to once again touch the power of an interconnected world (a world still residing in our genes today), practiced forms of movement that gave them a possibility of return to that interconnected state.

Modernized versions of these forms are practiced today, carrying with them a similar effect – that of pulling up our stakes, so to speak, of our one identity, our one way of being or responding to the world, rendering us much more fluid and capable of perceiving and operating with greater functional possibilities.

And this is the intent of the Theater of Infinity as we know it today. It allows us to try on other social masks, or to adopt our usual roles or social masks that we don every day, and replay them, inserting a new intention different from our old one. 

As we do this, our awareness grows and we learn that we ourselves, as individuals, are a multiplicity, much like infinity itself, and find it then less important to fight for our usual singular role.

 Nyei: This modern form of the theater has its beginnings several generations ago, with the naguals Elias and Amalia, who freed the movement sequences from the ritual context they had acquired over centuries, so they could be approached purely as movements that help us to gather our own natural energy. 

Their students, the naguals Julian and Talia (don Juan’s teachers), brought the practice of these movements into the context of modern theater and dance. Today the theater is accessible as a practice for anyone who wants to gather energy to review their own lives in the joyful and engaging way that the theater can provide.

 It is theater that can be performed with or without an audience. In playing a role, we become aware of the role, and so the assemblage point—the point of orientation—and therefore the perception of players and audience, shifts.

Reni: This is what we will do in the workshop in London. We will work in small groups to play scenes from our own lives, maybe a dinner table scene, and interspersing the scene with the movements, of for example, the whale, or the butterfly, and the expanded breath and shift of awareness that they bring, the player can become more aware, as he or she plays and replays the scene, of the social mask he is wearing—the postures he adopts—literally—and the assumptions and judgments he might be making about his family, coworkers, friends, or himself. 

Seeing those postures, judgments and assumptions, one can then start to get past them, to gain empathy, and expand one’s view. And when one does this—the field of one’s interaction is altered—and those new options are now available for adoption in one’s daily life.

Nyei: This frees an enormous amount of energy. Carlos Castaneda pointed out that it takes a ton of energy to “do” “you” every day—to present, uphold, defend, reestablish the “doing” of Susan or Jim or whoever it is and accompanying dialogue such as: 

“I didn’t send out the order because I was waiting for you.” “I do all the work around here.” Etc. etc.

We might find a shift, through playing the scene in the context of Theater of Infinity: “I had a feeling I should call you to check on the order.” “I really appreciate the way my sister/brother/co-worker/boss does work that I can’t do.” Etc. etc.

Reni: And the beauty of this continuing change of perception as the scene is played again and again, is that it’s the individual and their inner seer finding his or her own options—nobody is telling them what to do, or giving advice. 

It’s the theater play, and the Tensegrity movements themselves, as well as the support of the other players, that help the person awaken what don Juan called the inner seer—our internal link to infinity. And following that inner compass, one’s Theater play and life start to make a lot more sense, and  create a lot more joy.

(2)           Can you say more about how can it be used and applied to everyday life? Could you give some practical examples?

Reni: You can see this at play for example when in the Theatre of Infinity you play yourself in a recent scene at the meeting table at work. You might notice that you came in expecting the meeting to be trying and tedious. 

You might even have been playing scenarios in your mind beforehand, scenarios of the dumb, controlling or pointless things you expect the others (and you) are going to do or say. When you enter the room, your breath is short, your shoulders and jaw tight—you are closed off. 

And not surprisingly you once again find the meeting tedious and restricting and you just tolerated it and left with the same judgments of your peers (and yourself) that you entered with. And not much got accomplished.

Shift that state, shift your breath, practice a movement with an intention to change, gain and initiate a new action, inspired from your inner seer and play the scene again, and this time you might notice that the person next to you, whom you had judged as stubborn in his ideas, simply wants to know that his ideas have been heard—

And that when breathe while you are listening and you ask relevant questions while he talks, he becomes less rigid in his thinking and is willing to adjust his plans; or you see something in his plans that you like.

Then shift again with a movement, gain a new intent, play your scene another time and you might notice this time that if you pay attention to others, they pay attention to you. 

Then move, find a new impulse again, and realize that your meeting can be productive if you take an active, intentional and conscious part.

 Another point is to know that our personal histories and social masks are not the whole of who we are. We are beings who come from the stars – not only the carbon elements of our flesh and DNA but our energetic aspect too. 

Knowing this on a physical, emotional, mental and energetic level that we are but travelers here on this great rotating earth, who while visiting accumulated personal histories and social masks, allows us to drop them that much faster and get to our essence that much quicker from which to perceive, experience and live.

This is a primary value of the Theater of Infinity, for it begs an answer to the question: “If I am able to play so many different roles, which one is my true self?” With the possible answer being: “None!” or “All!” And isn’t life the greatest stage or theater of all! 

In the words of the immortal Shakespeare –
All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts…

(3) Are there any memorable stories from the books of don Juan’s students that exemplify this art or practice?

Nyei: Yes –the nagual Julian, who was don Juan’s benefactor, taught his apprentices through theater that he enacted in his daily interactions with them. he was continuously setting up scenarios or playing roles to bring across what he wanted them to learn. 

For example: When the nagual Julian wanted to take don Juan to “meet the Spirit,” he announced a party. He invited all of his apprentices and the people of the town to the high bank of a river, and they had a full fiesta, with a banquet, and skits, dancing, the works. 

And at a given moment the nagual Julian announced it was time for don Juan to “meet the Spirit,” and without warning don Juan, the nagual Julian picked don Juan up and threw him into the river, which was so high at the time it was nearly flooding its banks. 

“Don’t get mad at the river,” the nagual Julian exclaimed to him. And this became the way that don Juan became aware of his energy body—his twin body, made out of energy, his connection to infinity. 

He couldn’t fight the river, as he had tried to fight every other event or obstacle in his life—so he acquiesced and found himself both in the river and his energetic component running along its banks. 

He had gotten what the nagual Julian was aiming to show him, which included: that if he stopped fighting the current in his life, so to speak, a transcendent reality opened up for him.
Our daily life is theater, Carlos Castaneda said. 

The question is—can we be artists in that theater, conscious of our part—impeccable, meaning staying in our integrity, no matter what comes our way. The origin of the word theatre or theater in English is Greek théātron, meaning the place for viewing. 

The nagual Julian was continuously finding or creating scenarios in which his students could see or learn something. And don Juan, in his way, did the same. As did our teachers. 

We were continuously put in situations where we would have to get past our idea of ourselves, and play another part, in order to succeed.

In my case, I had to overcome always attempting to play the part of “genius.” Carlos Castaneda was relentless in calling this out. “Hello Nyei!” He would say in front of everyone. “How’s the genius today?”

 It took me a while to laugh, and begin to understand, to recognize what I was doing and stop acting as if I was the smartest person in the room. To be effective in my task of helping to lead workshops, I had to rein it in and learn to listen. To play other parts.

Reni: In my case, I had to overcome the tendency to play the role of victimized heroine. And it was suggested to me not only to practice a lot of magical passes to effect change but also to attend acting school. 

So with nothing but my fabricated self to lose, I did, and after several years of playing the roles of victimized heroines – Blanche Dubois from A Streetcar Named Desire, Joan from Saint Joan, and Laura from The Glass Menagerie – roles with which I identified greatly, I favored a shift of character to those of successful and triumphant females who were not carted away to the psyche ward, burned at the stake, or left loveless. 

By playing roles so close to mine and then stepping out afterwards to laugh at myself being cast in the same role again and again by my acting teachers, my point of perception loosened in my art as well as in life: I began hungering for and adopting new roles.

(4) The day after the workshop, there is an excursion to Stonehenge. How is the workshop and the theme Theater of Infinity connected with this ancient monument?

Nyei: For us it’s a living reminder of where we come from— built by a culture whose internal quiet allowed them to experience and live in collaboration with the forces of nature; one can feel the tremendous vibratory nature of what has been set up there—the hum of these monoliths, bridging earth and stars, honoring their seasons and cycles. 

 We ourselves shift with those cycles, and so do our roles in life—we move from child, sibling, parent, wise elder—and through it all, our awareness grows.

Regarding Cleargreen, Tensegrity etc:

(1)           How do you see the evolution of Cleargreen and its future? What do you consider the overarching intent of this path?

Reni: Our mission at Cleargreen is to support the development and evolution of Tensegrity—the modern version of what don Juan taught his students. 

Tensegrity is a word that Carlos Castaneda borrowed from architect R. Buckminster Fuller; the word is a combination of tension and integrity, the forces that hold together tensegrity structures in nature, such as a tree, or in architecture, such as a geodesic dome. 

All the parts of these structures work and adapt together, so the structure holds its integrity with any outside pressure. Communities work this way as well—there is an adaptability that allows us to cooperate with integrity.

So at this point, our emphasis is on supporting the community of Tensegrity by supporting the Tenesgrity Facilitators-in-Training around the world. 

They are a key part of creating a global community of local communities supporting enhanced awareness, collaborating with the aim of being more conscious, more present, more alive in daily interactions. The facilitator trainees are leading local Tensegrity classes with this purpose.

Nyei: And this is a key element of the overarching intent of this path: to be able to live and work and dream together. This comes from each of us practicing the art of living as consciously and joyously and purposefully as possible.

Reni: So this is a path to help anyone following it to return home to themselves, to return home to their energetic side and nature which in our modern, fast-paced, “wired” culture often gets overlooked and dismissed. 

It is our coming back to this essence of ourselves that allows us freedom of perception.

For our energy body becomes known to us when we are in states of silence; and from that state we begin to perceive far more than just cars, buildings, and jobs. With our energy body, we transcend our usual or ordinary perception, defined by our personal histories.

Nyei: We might perceive, quite possibly, that the tree outside our window is asking for water, or sending affection; or that the boss we labeled tyrant is actually very similar to us. 

Or that when we feel the ground with our feet, we are more present; that when we breathe in the sunlight, our mood brightens.

Reni: This is the magic of Tensegrity – the ability of its practitioners to use shamanic principles for the enhancement of their daily lives. Don Juan told Carlos Castaneda, “Be of your time.”

 So freedom is something you practice here and now, in the modern world, in your town, with your family, your job, whatever your circumstances are. 

It’s recognizing that since you are born from source, or infinity, you can always connect with infinity, whether you are in a prison, or a palace. If you move informed by that connection, wherever you might be, you are free. Who could stop you?

(2)           Currently, are you planning to write a book of your experiences with Carlos Castaneda? If so, when might it be published?

Nyei: Yes—In the next year, we are coming out with a book that will convey our experiences with our teachers.

DOMNU'AUREL MOCANU SUGE!

Am fost fata cuminte si foarte buna pina acum. Nu m-am luat decit de Guru Mucii care abereaza la greu, dar e simpatic uneori totusi(la timpul passe compose). Da' acum frunzarind io paginile blogaristice romanesti dau de domnu'Aurel Mocanu care organizeaza tot felul de workshopuri shamanice, de care, pina acum nu m-am luat dintr-un minim bun simt. Inca o data zic.NEOSHAMANISM IS SPIRITUAL MASTURBATION.Draga lume si Aurele nu poti deveni shaman. Shaman te nasti sau nu. Ai un suflet in plus sau nu. Ai constituie dubla sau nu. Putem merge la seminarii ca sa invatam tehnici shamnice dar NU devenim shamani never ever ever. Acu', nu m-as fi luat de domnu' care suge gratios pe bloguri(ce?energia si banii vostri nu va ginditi la prostii) daca nu se baga la practica mea. TENSEGRITY. Omu incepe sa vorbeasca despre recapitulare, practica pe care nu are initierea necesara sa o predea si mai si face sedinte-gen seance?spiritism like?cu bani, of course. Acum fiecare trebuie sa traiasca da' de ce nu face el ce stie mai bine?Domnu Aurel la cite seminarii Tensegrity ai fost matale?la nici unul. Daca ai fi fost ai fi stiut ca nu ai voie sa predai tehnici Tensegrity decit dupa 7 ani de practica, timp in care esti in evidenta Cleargreen. Si acum un florilegiu de perle ale domnului Mocanu.Toate sint citate de pe unul dintre miile lui de bloguri-kestie ok -omu'stie marketing
"Conceptul de recapitulare a fortei vitale a cuiva este prezent in literatura publicata in Romania in mai multe variante ( Carlos Castaneda , Taisha Abelar , Marcel Proust...)"asta e ok baiatu recunoaste de unde copiaza.
"Scopul , Intentia Recapitularii este de a readuce energia proprie ( imobilizata in trecut in anumite evenimente care se tot intampla perpetuu in Realitatea Non-Ordinara , in memoria afectiva-involuntara a lui Marcel Proust ) , acasa - pentru a creste potentialul de actiune , de insanatosire , de traire a persoanei in cauza"-doar asta e scopul?si io care credeam ca e taierea egoului-oops si Castaneda la fel le zicea in seminariile la care tu baiatule nu ai fost niciodata.
ACUM INCEPE THE PRECIOUS-E PREA TARE AM RIS CU HOHOTE
"1. se pregateste persoana si spatiul in care urmeaza sa se desfasoare sesiunea de Recapitulare a Fortei Vitale : purificarea cu rugaciune , tamaie sau diverse arome , invocarea prezentei si a ajutorului spiritual -energetic al entitatilor binevoitoare persoanei in cauza : Divinitatea , Ingerul Pazitor , Ghidul Spiritual , etc . Pregatirea spatiului si a persoanei in cauza include si indepartarea surselor de zgomot si lumina ( unele surse recomanda intunericul total ,precum si incaperi special dedicate ) si asigurarea faptului ca persoana nu va fi deranjata pe durata exercitiului ."
PENIBIL BAIETASH!recap se face oriunde si pe strada daca te tin coaiele-da' tu clar nu ai. Baietii cu coaie sint aia tru, nu plagiatorii care predau din carti.
"2. se alege situatia ce va fi obiectul recapitularii : unele surse recomanda recapitularea sistematica , pornind de la momentul prezent catre trecut , a tuturor momentelor traite - aceasta recapitulare , desi foarte cuprinzatoare si eficienta , ia foarte mult timp si se poate dovedi nerecompensatorie in fazele initiale pentru cel in cauza . Alteori se recomanda recapitularea relatiei cu o anumita persoana , sau a unui anumit tip de relatii - de exemplu a relatiilor sexuale . Alteori , subiectul este pur si simplu "purtat" intuitiv catre o anumita situatie de catre ghidul sau spiritual . Esentialul este ca persoana sa se transpuna cat mai total in acea situatie , sa o " traiasca " , nu doar sa o simuleze mental ."
NU PAPUSHA!-recap se face in etape-etape pe care tu nu le cunosti ca nu ai de unde. Prima este recap pe partenerii sexuali, mai multe nu iti spun.
"3. inspirarea propriei forte vitale lasate in acea situatie ,persoana , loc . Pe fiecare inspiratie , se " trage " inapoi energia lasata in acea situatie . Se pot vizualiza sau nu string-urile ce leaga persoana de situatie . Se continua pana se simte ca e de ajuns ."
GRESIT-da'nu-ti spun cum e ca nu meriti!
"3bis. expirarea energiilor straine :pe fiecare expiratie , se returneaza energiile straine de sine , inapoi persoanei, locului , situatiei . Se continua pana se simte ca e de ajuns . Deci fiecare inspiratie aduce inapoi energia proprie, fiecare expiratie inapoiaza energiile celorlalti "
ABEREZI COMPLET-NU se returneaza NIMIC si mai ales pe FIECARE EXPIRATIE-da tu micutule nu ai de unde sa stii ca doar nu ai facut fo ora de practica Tensegrity in viata ta.
"4.incheierea sesiunii de recapitulare se face multumind tuturor entitatilor care au ajutat si cu o rugaciune / miniceremonie de incheiere."
Ha? adica ce urau CC si DJ mai mult?formalismul ritual?entitati?ummmm...NOT
"Acum trebuie sa subliniem unele aspecte relativ limitative ale recapitularii : -recapitularea se face pentru restaurarea puterii personale . Ea creste , incetul cu incetul , puterea personala a celui ce recapituleaza . Dar e un fapt ca uneori pentru recuperarea unor portiuni de suflet pierdut nu e suficienta recapitularea de unul singur ."
Draga Aurele recap NU iti aduce portiunile de suflet pierdut inapoi. Ea are cu totul alte functii(sic).
"Solutia viabila este ca o persoana care are maini (este completa ) si stiinta de a face asta , sa ia acele maini , sa le puna la locul lor , sa sutureze ruptura , sa "coase cu Lumina " , sa ajute pacientul sa se recupereze ."
ADICA TU PE BANI, NU?
"Retrairea in totalitate a unei traume este din nou traumatizanta,iar literatura consacrata regresiilor hipnotice contine multe exemple de suferinte imense retraite de pacient in scaunul hipnoterapeutului .
De aceea , se pare ca uneori , unele mecanisme de aparare ale sufletului nu permit accesarea de unul singur , prin recapitulare , a momentelor de ruptura de suflet , a momentelor intens traumatice . De aceea , auto- recapitularea trebuie completata cu o recuperare a sufletului , facuta de o persoana capabila de a face aceasta ."
AICI DEJA TE PROSTITUEZI-NU, NU CA CURVELE -ALEA SINT PE FATzA.MAI RAU
"Putem spune ca Recuperarea Sufletului este o Recapitulare a Fortei Vitale facuta de shaman pentru cel aflat in stare de fragmentare , in stare de ne-totalitate , in stare de suferinta"
Recuperarea sufletului si asta ti-o spun ca shaman, este o tehnica ce permite aducerea inapoi a unuia dintre cele 3 suflete, care a fost expulzat(nu discutam aici de ce). NU ARE LEGATURA CU RECAP. Dar again, nefiind shaman nu stii tu de astea.
CoNCLUZII: recapitularea se face singur sau cu grupul de practica TENSEGRITY, NU pe bani ca nu e nevoie, si mai ales oameni buni folositi-va de discernamint si nu va mai dati pe mina sarlatanilor.

ACU' MA DUC SA VOMIT!

MANEVRE SHAMANICE

Shamans keep nothing to themselves. To empty themselves in this fashion is a shaman's maneuver. It leads them to abandon the fortress of the self.
Active side of infinity
Shamanii nu tin nimic pentru ei. A se goli in acest mod este o manevra shamanica. Ii duce la abandonarea fortaretei sinelui.

Tensegrity is an art: the art of adapting to one's own energy, and to each other's energy in a way that contributes to the integrity of the community that we are.
Carlos Castaneda
Tensegrity este o arta: arta de a ne adapta la energia personala, si la energia celorlalti intr-un mod in care sa contribuim la integritatea comunitatii care sintem.

In Womb Series, we will practice magical passes and tracking exercises to build our core of energy, and access the state of well-womb-being in key areas of our relationships with self and others--feeling, thinking, as well as sleep and movement. We will look at where our energy and awareness gets lost under the debris of circumstance and habit, and identify where we learned our habits, so that we might release those that don't work, and embrace and learn new ones that do!

Emphasis will be placed on supporting ourselves and each other in establishing a simple daily practice of going within to tap the natural perception of the womb: direct attunement with Spirit.
Cleargreen

All the magical passes help increase self-discipline. It might be helpful both for practitioners who have trouble starting their practice, and for those who find it difficult to know when to stop, to review what shamans mean by "discipline." Don Juan describes this to Carlos Castaneda in the Active Side of Infinity:
" . . . by discipline, I don't mean harsh routines. I don't mean waking up every morning at five-thirty and throwing cold water on yourself until you're blue. Sorcerers understand discipline as the capacity to face with serenity odds that are not included in our expectations. For them, discipline is an art: the art of facing infinity without flinching, not because they are strong and tough, but because they are filled with awe." (p. 224)

Q: Let's consider the meaning of the word "spirituality" to be a state of consciousness in which human beings are fully capable of controlling the potentials of the species, something achieved by transcending the simple animal condition through a hard psychic, moral and intellectual training. Do you agree with this assertion? How is don Juan's world integrated into this context?

A: For don Juan Matus, a pragmatic and extremely sober shaman, "spirituality" was an empty ideality, an assertion without basis that we believe to be very beautiful because it is encrusted with literary concepts and poetic expressions, but which never goes beyond that.
Shamans like don Juan are essentially practical. For them there only exists a predatory universe in which intelligence or awareness is the product of life and death challenges. He considered himself a navigator of infinity and said that in order to navigate into the unknown like a shaman does, one needs unlimited pragmatism, boundless sobriety and guts of steel.
In view of all this, don Juan believed that "spirituality" is simply a description of something impossible to achieve within the patterns of the world of everyday life, and it is not a real way of acting.

UN EXERCITIU DE STALKING

La nastere venim pe lume cu o una din doua configuratii energetice. Sintem sau stalkeri, si in zona abdominala prezentam protuberante energetice, fiind capabili sa fixam punctele de asamblare a realitatilor, sau luptatori neinfricati, dreameri-visatori, cei ce au in zona abdominala filamente. In timpul seminariilor Tensegrity la care am fost, instructorii nostri, elevi ai lui Carlos Castaneda ne-au invatta un exercitiu de stalking-timp de 2 luni, de 3 ori pe zi la ore fixe trebuia sa ne scriem intr-un jurnal(Navigator's log) dialogul interior. Avind in vedere ca era doar al nostru si nimeni nu l-ar fi putut citi, trebuia sa fim absolut sinceri cu noi, si oricit de cretin sau pornografic sau redundant era dialogul trebuia sa-l redam exact. In doua luni urma sa se contureze un tipar, care era tiparul mintii noastre ce daduse nastere vietii noastre asa cum o traiam. Dupa aceea, prin exercitii de not-doing urma sa distrugem acel tipar si sa-l inlocuim cu sintagme shamanice, constructive si eliberatoare. Mai jos public o experienta personala a unui practicant Tensegrity legat de stalking the self (vinarea egoului). Are cuvintul Meztli "Un luptator se poate ingrijora si poate gindi inainte de a lua o decizie, dar odata ce a luat-o, el merge pe calea sa, lipsit de griji sau ganduri; vor fi un milion de alte decizii care il vor asteapta. Aceasta este calea luptatorului." Tatal meu a fost intotdeauna ingrijorat ca sunt prea neglijent, prea iresponsabil, prea visator si ca nu voi putea face fata vietii adevarate. Imi spunea intr-una, pe un ton deosebit de grav, ca viata este precum o jungla si ca oamenii se mananca unul pe celalalt fara scrupule, in permanenta, ca niste animale salbatice. Asa ca, incepand cu varsta de aproximativ 13 ani, tatal meu a decis sa ma pregateasca pentru viata. Orice responsabilitate de la scoala sau orice sarcina primita in casa, avea o importanta deosebit de mare. Sarcina in sine era acompaniata de amenintari si deseori de 'inspectii', din partea tatalui, pentru a ma verifica daca intr-adevar fac ceea ce trebuie sa fac. Atunci cand nu reuseam sa-mi indeplinesc sarcina, aveam parte de o cearta monstruoasa. Acestea au devenit atat de frecvente si coplesitoare,incat am ales sa inventez scuze sau sa ascund faptul ca nu am terminat ce aveam de terminat. Stresul era coplesitor. Nu mai reuseam sa ma concentrez pe nimic, nici pe actiunile pe care trebuia sa le finalizez, si am devenit, incetul cu incetul, tot mai focusat pe scuzele pe care le fabricam, atunci cand trebuia sa-mi raportez situatia. Singurele momente de liniste, le aveam atunci cand tatal meu simtea nevoia sa se odihneasca sau era intr-o stare deosebit de buna. Primind aceasta educatie de la tatal meu, am invatat sa ma ingrijorez in permanenta. Am inceput sa ma ingrijorez inainte sa plec undeva, inainte sa spun ceva unei persoane, inainte sa finalizez un lucru, de frica unui posibil conflict sau din frica de a nu face pe plac. In loc sa finalizez normal ziua de lucru sau de scoala, o conversatie, o relatie sau aproape orice sarcina pe care o aveam de indeplinit, nu exista prea des o incheiere sau o concluzie, iar eu ma aflam intr-o neliniste continua in ceea ce priveste viitorul meu apropiat. La un moment dat, am decis sa plec de acasa dar acest obicei m-a urmat peste tot pe unde am umblat, fara sa fiu constient de modul in care actionez. Patru ani in urma plecarii de acasa, dupa realizarea unui exercitiu de stalking in care am trasat arborele meu genealogic, documentand pe scurt viata (focusandu-ma pe aspectele sociale) fiecarui membru pana la – inclusiv– strabunicii mei, am devenit constient de o vedere de ansamblu asupra intregii mele familii si am observat faptul ca anumite trasaturi comportamentale din familia mea erau mostenite de la parinte la copil, pana la parintii mei. De asemenea, am observat cum parintii mei au invatat sa se comporte in felul in care s-au comportat in viata, de la proprii lor parinti si tutori. In consecinta, m-au invatat ceea ce ei insisi au luat ca atare. Astfel, am inteles faptul ca tatal meu a incercat sa ma pregateasca sa intampin viata in singurul mod in care stia sa o faca: fara sa ia deciziile necesare in momentul in care acestea trebuiau luate si ingrijorandu-se in permanenta pentru ceea ce urma sa se intample. Realizarea faptului ca parintii mi-au indus un comportament luat ca atare, a schimbat totul. In primul rand, aceasta realizare, a dizolvat in mare parte tensiunea pe care o aveam fata de ei. Dupa ce am eliberat energia care era irosita in a-mi apara punctele de vedere fata de ei (spre exemplu, il consideram pe tatal meu un tiran violent si obsedat de control si eram focusat in permanenta sa fiu calm; consideram acest aspect singura diferenta cruciala dintre mine si tatal meu), am inceput sa-mi observ tiparele mostenite: acele moduri aparte de a face fata situatiilor din viata de zi cu zi, erau foarte similare cu felul in care parintii mei se comportau. Am inceput sa ma uit in jur, la alti oameni care se comportau diferit si am inceput sa imi conturez puncte de referinta pentru a-mi corecta propriile obiceiuri. Am inceput prin definirea unei tehnici foarte simple: am decis sa iau decizii, sa planific si sa execut. In timpul dintre luarea deciziei si executarea propriu-zisa a planului, nu imi faceam nici un fel de griji si abandonam orice gand referitor la planurile sau deciziile luate anterior. In momentul in care trebuia sa execut, ma focusam exclusiv pe acea sarcina. Suna ca si un concept simplu dar pentru mine, a fost un calvar. Nu eram obisnuit sa ma concentrez pe luarea unei decizii, era mult mai convenabil sa nu fac nimic si sa raman la vechiul mod de a fi, asteptand momentul in care trebuia sa fac fata unui lucru. In timpul acestui exercitiu, am observat ca un obstacol deosebit de puternic in a-mi executa planurile, era faptul ca intotdeauna eram obisnuit sa imi atribui mai multe sarcini decat eram capabil sa execut (fapt provenit din obisnuinta de a fabrica scuze si minciuni pentru tatal meu, in urma presiunilor sale; minciuni pe care trebuia sa le cred intr-o masura, altfel nefiind destul de convingatoare). Cand tatal meu ma intreba daca am terminat ceva de facut, il minteam si ii spuneam ca da, si ca de fapt am trecut la sarcina urmatoare. Dupa ce eram lasat in pace, plonjam intr-un efort supra-uman de a realiza ambele sarcini intr-un timp record. Devenind constient de acest obicei, am inceput sa ma focusez pe actiunea de a-mi crea un context cat mai placut in care imi puteam desfasura sarcinile, planificandu-mi actiunile din timp si raportandu-mi progresul la valoarea sa reala. Desigur, m-am lovit de alt obstacol in cazurile in care imi planificam o actiune pe o perioada mai lunga, fiind obisnuit sa execut totul la final, crezand in continuare ca sunt capabil sa fac asta cu orice ocazie. Astfel, am inceput sa-mi segmentez fiecare actiune de lunga durata in pasi mai mici, si sa execut, dupa tehnica initiala. La inceput, rezultatele efortului de a ma debarasa de aceste lucruri invatate de la parintii mei, au fost greu de observat. Dar, perseverand, am reusit sa renunt la ele si sa-mi planific/execut actiunile cu o exactitate tot mai mare. Dupa ce am devenit destul de sigur pe mine si detasat in a lua decizii, am inceput sa imi adaptez planurile dupa ce am luat o decizie, in functie de schimbari care puteau sa apara. As denumi aceasta tehnica o ajustare a primei tehnici: prima m-a ajutat sa iau decizii cu incredere iar a doua, m-a ajutat sa-mi finisez executia unui plan. Don Juan i-a spus o data lui Carlos: „nimic in viata aceasta nu ne este oferit ca si cadou; tot ceea ce exista pentru a fi invatat, trebuie invatat din greu”. Un luptator nu alege sa actioneze numai atunci cand rezultatele sunt usor de obtinut, ci urmeaza ceea ce Spiritul ii indica. Deseori aceste actiuni sunt cel mai greu de realizat pentru ca tin de ceea ce fugim sau catalogam ca si imposibil, dar un luptator accepta aceste semne cu bucurie pentru ca el traieste pentru a se elibera iar eliberarea inseamna sa faci fata cu seninatate si voiosie celor mai incredibile provocari."

freedom-tensegrity letter from unsomni 4

Do not except "chipping" from the government. Recently it has been
anouced by the Australian government that they are introducting a

country wide smart RF chip identiy card. It is optional if you except

this card, however if you do not, you are not aloud to operate a
vehicle, claim unemployment or medicare, etc. Its launch
 date is about

2 years away. If this is successful, the next stage will be micro
chipping (all ready being done to pets, japanese school children,

company  V.Ps stationed in countries where kidnapping is common) with
RF chips. this tiny chips are so small they look like a dot, and are

powered when they come
 into contact with a projected power field from
a reader, up to about 5 meters (15 feet). These are present in all new
passports. The ones designed for people are powered
 from the persons
own electrical field.


IT is reported that the generations of chips after this will have the
ability to relate information to other chips near them.

Take for example, you go to an ATM and withdraw some money. Each bill

has a tiny RF chip in it, in the banks records, the ATMs reader (no

bank card necessary) links the money transaction of each bill to your
chips number. these can operate like a credit card or bank card.
 As

you spend this money, it is tracked, each time the money passes
through a shops till, or is spent on something potentially 'illegal'.

There will be a huge digital trail on all people, mostly in first

world countries to start with. If you wanted by the state, it can even
make the money in your
 possesion 'illegal' to be recieved by others,
and then report to the authorities where u are. This all being done

NOW under the guise of the fight for
 terrorism.

There are of course different things you can do... Move countries to

another country where the technology isnt in place. Go low tech... Go
high tech..... or just do what you are doing now, and wait to see what

POWER has planned. The biggest threat to setting up a global
government is either a population that will not except control, or

massive population reduction (of around 75%) so that the control
structure and society supports crash.


It was once
 said that most humans are about 5 meals away from chaos.
It basically means that most people that miss 5 meals, are likely to

steal and kill to feed themselves and their families; consider this

carefully.

The main tools of control of most first world humans are one of 3
things... Greed
 (desire to own may toys), Fear (they terrorists are
out to get you, but hey trust us, we can help you!) and Debt (the

result of the greed).
 Working hard to survive, to pay your debts
(notice how many people get given credit cards and credit card offers,

car and home loans. Do u think you own your house? try not paying the
property tax or rates for a few years and see what happens). Because

Debt is used to keep the present money system from colapsing under
debt (yep i said debt) it is basically a system designed to eventually

crash. Each time more new money is created using debt (for example in

the USA, the federal Reserve
 ((privately owned, is not a government
dept)) makes money for the US, the government now owes the reserve
"X"

amount of money (ie, 500,000,000 of 100$ bills) that is put into

circulation by being handed on to the banks. The reserve holds on to
10% of the money given to a bank, leaving that
 bank 90% to lend out.
Lets say for example the reserve gives city bank.... 1000$... but
holds on to a hundred, so city bank
 gets 900$.... what can city bank
do with that 900$ you ask? well now city bank can lend out 9 times

900$ (8,100$) in loans, as long as it sits on 10% of each loan. so
city bank holds on to the 900$ and gives Joe BLogs a loan for a car of

8100$... Thats how money is created. Its created on a deal between Joe
and the bank, that joe will pay back the 8100$, with interest. As joe

pays that money back, the bank may then again lend out another 90% of

what he has paid! Also dont forget about people who have
 savings in
the bank, because those savings give them the power to lend this way
as well.


This has been happening for years, and it is the reason for

devaluation of all currancy, called "inflation" which is usually
aroun
3-5% a year. 20 years ago, you may have been able to purchase a
 large
house for around 30,000$ but now the same house is worth around

400,000 today. Notice how most peoples
 incomes dont have the same
value as they once did?

This cycle is finate, it cannot go on indefiantly. eventually it will

colapse. But when it does, who will "legally" own most of the land,

and the resources under or on that land? When money is worth nothing,
how can you feed yourself? (especially if you have no land!). Recently

i had the chance to talk with a gentalman whos net worth is over 4

billion dollars US. He suggested to me that there is a major fianacial
crash that is dew to happen in about 4-5 years
 time, many times worse

that the "great depression". this crash is designed so those that are

in the know, with a lot of money will increase their vast fortunes,
and those who are living in a fixed perception that has been sold to

them all their lives in first attention, will end up
 loosing
everything they own. Note that this will be approximately the time

suggested by the mayan
 calander of a time of great change.

Is there time to alter these things for the good of our race? rather

than the good of a few? it depends on what we teach others. If we
simply play along, we get what we deserve. Are you willing to share

food from your garden with your neighbors, and teach them to have
gardens as well? If you are highly skilled in the sciences or other

areas, are you willing not to work for big companies, or buy their
products, witholding your money and time, so that they themselves

suffer, and teach others to do the
 same.

A simple example of this would be to not buy food products of a

company such as nestle', who makes cocolates, but also enforces water
control of several south American countries, taxing people to DRINK

COLLECTED RAIN WATER because of the debt their country
 owes.

Choose where to invest your time, intent and will choose to inform
 others

Choose to learn old and new skills

Choose freedom.

Never ever give up.

P.S... think i was kidding about how money works.. here is a great

video that explains the basics.

Hello to all people of tensegrity!

I am giving you
 all an update about my 'sorcerers and oppression'


comment from a few months ago.

During the week of the California fires (some say conveniently) the US
government passed a bill in Washington called H.R. 1955: Violent
Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007



The proposed act defines its
 purpose very open endedly in
 the very
first line: To prevent homegrown terrorism, and for 'other purposes'.

What it means basically is the US government can now accuse you of
'thought crimes'. If the government does not like what you think, what


you believe, what you say, or any social activity you practice
(whether it is religious or secular) it can charge you, imprison you
and even torture you for it. This kind of legislation is EXACTLY how
Hitler took control of Germany and turned it into a dictatorship. You


may think that is a bit far out but did you know that hundreds of
concentration camps
 have already been built in the US recently? (see
the links below)

My first email was about the comment from Carlos C about 'the end is


coming' and what that might mean. I do not want to scaremonger but at
the same time I believe for citizens in the US, and all the rest of
the world, the brutal
 and bloody installation of a long planned
 'New
World Order' / global police state / one world government would surely
'fit the bill' as Don Juan would say. I also think the books emphasize
awareness so much, not just the enjoyable 'cosmic awareness' of


dreaming and perceiving energy directly but an unflinching, honest and
acute awareness of the tonal - our daily world and the people that
live in it alongside us - however uncomfortable that awareness might
makes us feel personally.



We may not be able to do anything to stop 'the end from coming' but I
guess we can live our days now and practice our tensegrity now
 without
taking our freedom to do it so much for granted, and do everything


with more intensity by knowing the freedoms we enjoy now may not last
for very long and we might one day soon be practicing the ocean breath
or recaptitulation or inner silence while chained to the
 concrete
floor of a overcrowded detention center....
