It seemed the key and focus of learning to perform miracles in the waking state was to learn to first do these things in the dream state. Without mastery of the dream world, there could not be mastery of the physical world. Nearly all of Castaneda’s training was focused on gaining mastery of the dream world, or the “second attention” as Don Juan called it. It is assumed that the second attention is a synonym for our intuitive faculties. Our waking state is the first attention. Mastery of the second attention or intuitive faculties was the principal pursuit of the shaman and the source of his knowledge and ability to be used in service to his people. The sorcerer, on the other hand, is one who works to attain the same mastery, but only to serve the self and the pursuit of power and control over others. What is Creator’s perspective?

Castaneda wrote: “The power that governs the destiny of all living beings is called the Eagle … The Eagle is devouring the awareness of all the creatures that, alive on Earth a moment before and now dead, have floated to the Eagle’s beak, like a ceaseless swarm of fireflies, to meet their owner, their reason for having had life … for awareness is the Eagle’s food.” This seems like an incomplete description of the Creator of All That Is. Accurate to a point, but missing the quality of love, and the desire on the part of Creator for partnership with his creations. This is further reflected in this passage: “The Eagle, that power that governs the destinies of all living things, reflects equally at once all those living things. There is no way, therefore, for man to pray to the Eagle, to ask favors, to hope for grace. The human part of the Eagle is too insignificant to move the whole.” As powerful as he was, was Don Juan missing the forest for the trees? What can Creator tell us?

Castaneda wrote: Don Juan “said that there is nothing more dangerous than the evil fixation of the second attention (or evil mastery of the intuitive faculties). When warriors (or seekers/seers or shaman/sorcerers) learn to focus on the weak side of the second attention nothing can stand in their way. They become hunters of men, ghouls. Even if they are no longer alive, they can reach for their prey through time as if they were present here and now.” How big is the problem of dead evil sorcerers? Are these some of the human hybrid spirits that seem to have partnered with the fallen angelics? If they were particularly adept sorcerers when alive, might their powers even exceed that of some of the fallen angelics, similar in the way that Anunnaki spirits manage to control and repurpose the fallen angelics for evil aims?

Castaneda wrote: “… all archaeological ruins in Mexico, especially the pyramids, were harmful to modern man. He (Don Juan) depicted the pyramids as foreign expressions of thought and action. He said that every item, every design in them, was a calculated effort to record aspects of attention that were totally alien to us. For Don Juan, it was not only ruins of past cultures that held a dangerous element in them, anything which was the object of an obsessive concern had a harmful potential.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Castaneda wrote: “Your compulsion to possess and hold on to things is not unique, he (Don Juan) said. ‘Everyone who wants to follow the warrior’s path, the sorcerer’s way, has to rid himself of this fixation.’ My benefactor told me that there was a time when warriors did have material objects on which they placed their obsession. And that gave rise to the question of whose object would be more powerful, or the most powerful of them all. Remnants of those objects still remain in the world, the leftovers of that race for power.” For a tourist to pick up such an object found in ancient ruins and take it home, can be dangerous in the extreme. What is Creator’s perspective?

Castaneda wrote that Don Juan said, “… the ultimate accomplishment of a warrior (seer, seeker, shaman) was joy.” Sounds like everyone’s after the same thing, the bliss of divine communion, divine partnership perhaps, with Creator and Creator’s infinite love? What is Creator’s perspective?

Creator has said repeatedly, that life force energy flows from the divine realm to keep all of us alive at a bare minimum. Castaneda wrote that “Life force flows to us from the south, and leaves us flowing to the north.” What is Creator’s perspective?

It’s clear that the path of the shaman, as described by Castaneda, is a quite foreign, potentially dangerous spiritual pursuit not supported by or even compatible with modern life. Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer Work and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are the safer and easier way to eventually achieve the same goals pursued by the shamanic seers of indigenous peoples? Will a more modern, easier, and safer shamanism path emerge after the interlopers have left, and before ascension of humanity, assuming we get there?
