The Teachings Of Nagualism: 13. The Warrior's Last Stand. by oaroloye(m): 5:07pm On Jul 28, 2017
SHALOM!

oaroloye:


. HOSEA 4:4-10.

4. "Yet let no man strive,
nor reprove another
for thy people are as they
that strive with the Priest.
5. "Therefore shalt thou fall in the day,
and the Prophet also
shall fall with thee in the night,
and I will destroy thy mother.
6. "My people are destroyed
for lack of Knowledge:
because thou hast rejected Knowledge,
I will also reject thee,
that thou shalt be no Priest to me:
seeing thou hast forgotten
The Law of thy God,
I will also forget thy Children.
7. As they were increased,
so they Sinned against Me:
therefore will I change
their glory into shame.
8. "They eat up the Sin of My people,
and they set their heart
on their Iniquity.
9. "And there shall be,
like people,
like priest:
and I will Punish them for their Ways,
and Reward them their Doings.
10. "For they shall eat,
and not have enough:
they shall commit whoredom,
and shall not increase:
because they have left off
to take heed to The LORD."


. MATTHEW 13:47-53.

47. "Again, The Kingdom of Heaven
is like unto a net,
that was cast into the Sea,
and gathered of every kind:
48. "Which, when it was full,
they drew to shore,
and sat down,
and gathered the Good into Vessels,
but cast the Bad away.
49. "So shall it be
at the End of the World:
The Angels shall come forth,
and sever the Wicked from among the Just,
50. "And shall cast them into
The Furnace of Fire:
there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."

51. Jesus Saith unto them,

"Have ye understood all these things?"

They say unto him,

"Yea, Lord."

52. Then said he unto them,

"Therefore every scribe
which is instructed unto
The Kingdom of Heaven
is like unto a Man that is an Householder,
which bringeth forth out of his Treasure
Things New and Old."

53. And it came to pass,
that when Jesus had finished these Parables,
he departed thence.


.. MARK 9:38-41.

38. And John answered him,
saying,

"Master, we saw one
casting out Devils in thy Name,
and he followeth not us:
and we forbad him,
because he followeth not us."

39. But Jesus said,

"Forbid him not:
for there is no man
which shall do a Miracle
in my Name,
that can lightly speak Evil of me.
40. "For he that is not against us
is on our part.
41. "For whosoever shall give you
a cup of water to drink in my Name,
because ye belong to Christ,
verily I say unto you,


'HE SHALL NOT
LOSE HIS REWARD.' "


The Lord Yahshua SAID that WHOSOEVER is NOT OPPOSING HIS GOSPEL is a SUPPORTER of HIS GOSPEL.

Of course, you cannot know what YAHSHUA'S GOSPEL is, unless you READ IT YOURSELF. Lord Yahshua preached to COMMON, FUNCTIONALLY-ILLITERATE, SIMPLE people, and EXPECTED them to understand him without "HELP" from someone with an IQ of 150, and more degrees than a thermometer!

If THAT were what GOD required, only GENIUSES would be Saved.

Therefore, THE REAL GOSPEL IS SIMPLE: those who tell you that THEY have to "INTERPRET" God's Instructions to you, because YOU are TOO STUPID to understand them by yourself, are LYING TO YOU, SO THAT THEY CAN JUSTIFY CHANGING THE INSTRUCTIONS to suit themselves.

The Evangelist ORAL ROBERTS said that when he prayed to know how he could know JESUS, he was answered:

"READ MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN, AND THE BOOK OF ACTS- THREE TIMES IN THIRTY DAYS!"

He did this on his knees.

At the end of the thirty days, he testified, he knew Jesus better than he knew any man on the Face of the Earth!

WITHOUT THIS LEVEL OF DEDICATION TO THE WORDS OF THE LORD, HOW CAN ONE SERIOUSLY HOPE TO SUCCEED AS A CHRISTIAN?

When you have a CONTINUOUS KNOWLEDGE of Lord Yahshua's Teachings, you become SENSITIZED to things which AGREE with the Lord, and things which DISAGREE with the Lord.

You begin to DISCERN THE DIFFERENCES between GOOD and EVIL.

SOME OF THE SO-CALLED "SATANIC TEACHINGS" OF CARLOS CASTANEDA.

Since some people like to just mouth-off about things they know nothing about, BUT OTHERS COVERTLY SERVE MASTERS WHO DO NOT WANT CERTAIN KNOWLEDGE KNOWN. I just thought I would show some of what people who never read them before in their entire life, nor know anyone who knows anything about this man in their entire life, blithely call “SATANIC TEACHINGS,” so that you can judge their value or lack thereof, for yourself.

That you have Problems in your life that you cannot Solve, including that your current Solutions to Problems you have Solved are INEFFICIENT, even COSTLY and PAINFUL, should tell you that YOU NEED FRESH IDEAS.

These ideas?

. JOHN 7:44-51.

44. And some of them would have taken him;
but no man laid hands on him.
45. Then came the officers
to the Chief Priests and Pharisees;
and they said unto them,

"Why have ye not brought him?"

46. The officers answered,

"Never man spake like this man."

47. Then answered them the Pharisees,

"Are ye also deceived?
48. "Have any of the Rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49. "But this people who knoweth not The Law are Cursed."

50. Nicodemus saith unto them,
[he that came to Jesus by night,
being one of them,]

51. “Doth our law judge any man,
before it hear him,
and know what he doeth?”


WHAT DO YOU, AS A CHRISTIAN, MUSLIM, ANIMIST, UNBELIEVER, OR WHATEVER, HAVE TO SAY ABOUT DON JUAN AND HIS IDEAS?

13. A WARROR'S LAST STAND.

WHEN the Warrior is ready to advance, they go and station themselves in an ACCESSIBLE PLACE, so that EVIL POWERS will come and try to take their accumulated Energy- even their LIFE.

In NAGUALISM, Failure can mean Death.

A WARRIOR THEFORE prepares for Battle as if it may be his Last- with complete focus and dedication.

He has little or no time for frivolities and distractions in this LAST BATTLE ON EARTH.

However, what generally happens, is that as they gaze into the empty eyesockets of Death- or however It manifests, “The Other Guy Blinks First,” and they stand Victorious.

One day, though, it is not going to work.

Their best effort will come to nought, and they will actually die.

THE THREE DISCIPLINES OF NAGUALISM ARE STALKING, DREAMING, AND INTENT.

STALKING is the disciplined manipulation of the Assemblage Point by deliberate actions.

DREAMING is the conscious manipulation of the Assemblage Point while the Physical Body is asleep.

[b]INTENT [/b]is the Spiritual Force that makes things happen/keeps things from happening in Existence.

The Warrior has a PLACE OF PREDILECTION, where they come to with their DREAMING BODY during Exercises- a place special to them. Don JUAN MATUS gave Carlos Castaneda a piece of bushland for that purpose. He did not immediately, if ever, grasp the significance.

He was supposed to run Seeing Exercises on everything there, and so learn about the Spiritual Properties of Plants, Insects, and Animals on his own initiative- but he seems not to have caught on.

This showed in later blunders he committed.


When one dies, Don JUAN MATUS said, THEY ALWAYS go to their Place of Predilection, and DANCE there. DEATH will always WAIT for them to finish this their LAST STAND ON EARTH before taking them.

The fact that one has already selected the place of their WARRIOR'S LAST STAND has a singularly sobering and focusing effect. The Warrior becomes aware of a widening gap between themselves, and those who have not made this choice.
Re: The Teachings Of Nagualism: 13. The Warrior's Last Stand. by ScienceWatch: 6:10pm On Jul 29, 2017
In the 80's Carlos Castaneda investigated the possibility of incorporating fictional Nagualism as a religion, in the same way the founder of Scientology L. Ron Hubbard had done with Scientology.

Instead, Carlos chose to develop Tensegrity, as the means through which the new faith would spread. Tensegrity is a movement technique that seems to combine elements of a rigid version of tai chi and modern dance. In all likelihood the inspiration came from two karate devotee inner group members, and from his years of lessons with martial arts instructor Howard Lee. Documents found, show him discussing a project called "Kung Fu Sorcery" with Lee as early as 1988. The more elegant "Tensegrity" was lifted from Buckminster Fuller, for whom it referred to a structural synergy between tension and compression.

In the late '80s, perhaps because book sales had slowed or perhaps because he no longer feared media scrutiny, Castaneda sought to expand by developing a movement technique (Tensegrity) he fraudulently claimed had been passed down by 25 generations of Toltec shamans. Thus during the last decade of his life, a corporation, Cleargreen, was set up to promote Tensegrity; it held workshops attended by thousands. Novelist and director Bruce Wagner, a member of Castaneda's inner circle, helped produce a series of instructional videos.

Cleargreen continues to operate to this day, promoting Tensegrity and Castaneda's fictional teachings as if it was reality based through workshops in Southern California, Europe and Latin America. Simon and Schuster, Castaneda's main publisher, still classifies his books as nonfiction.

According to estimates, several hundred people were told by Castaneda at his compound, to cut off their families, although there where no more then a dozen each year that did, and most did not stay on.
There was also a lot of jealousy/competition in the compound. Sometimes initiates were banished for obscure spiritual offenses, such as drinking cappuccino (which Castaneda himself guzzled in great quantities). Carlos was very cruel to most followers in the compound, they'd no longer be invited to the compound. Their Phone calls wouldn't be returned. Having been allowed for a time into a secret, magical family, they'd be abruptly and cruelly cut off.

In the early '90s, to promote the cult Tensegrity, Castaneda set up Cleargreen, which operated out of the offices of "Rugrats" producer and Castaneda agent (and part-time sorcerer) Tracy Kramer, a friend of Wagner's from Beverly Hills High.

Although Castaneda wasn't a shareholder, according to Geuter, "he determined every detail of the operation." Jennings and Wallace confirm that Castaneda had complete control of Cleargreen. (Cleargreen did not respond to numerous inquiries from Salon.) The company's official president was Amalia Marquez (sorceric name Talia Bey), a young businesswoman who, after reading Castaneda's books, had moved from Puerto Rico to Los Angeles in order to follow him.

At the cults Tensegrity seminars, women dressed in black, the "chacmools," demonstrated moves for the audience. Castaneda and the witches would speak and answer questions. Seminars cost up to 380,000 Niara, and as many as 800 would attend. Participants could buy T-shirts that read "Self Importance Kills -- Do Tensegrity." The movements were meant to promote health as well as help practitioners progress as warriors.

But if con man Castaneda's early books drew knowledge on the occult, Buddhism, and phenomenology, his later work seemed more indebted to science fiction. But throughout, there was a preoccupation with meeting death like a warrior.

In the '90s, Castaneda told his followers that, like don Juan, he wouldn't die -- he'd burn from within, turn into a ball of light, and ascend to the heavens. In the summer of 1997, he was diagnosed with liver cancer.

Because genuine sorcerers weren't supposed to get sick, his illness remained a tightly guarded secret. While the witches desperately pursued traditional and alternative treatments, the workshops continued as if nothing was wrong (although Castaneda often wasn't there). And while the nagual lay bedridden with a morphine drip, watching war videos, the inner circle burned his papers.
And when in April 1998, the inner circle began packing up the house, the following week, at age 72, Castaneda died. He was cremated at the Culver City mortuary.
The media didn't learn of Castaneda's death for two months.
