In the sixties the American anthropologist Carlos Castaneda landed in Mexico for his doctoral thesis. There he met the last witch in a lineage of shamans, Don Juan, who transferred all his knowledge and that Castaneda reflected in his books, guides for a generation. In turn, Castaneda formed a group of disciples, including Miles, a California physician who now travels the world revealing the ancient wisdom of the shamans. For them the world is only one version of reality, a set of agreements and assumed cultural descriptions. There are other realities, but to see them have to be light and fluid, "Taking care of yourself too much produces a terrible fatigue. In this position he is blind and deaf to everything else."
Who was Carlos Castaneda?
-A anthropologist who in 1960 moved to Mexico for fieldwork. There he met the witch
Juan Matus, "Don Juan" and he began an apprenticeship that lasted 13 years during which you were
transmitted all the secrets of the ancient shamans of Mexico.
- Who was Don Juan?
-The 27 generation lineage of sorcerers who dedicated their lives to developing a knowledge system
powerful than that which governs our societies.
- How?
-Inside us is the energy that allows us to transcend the parameters of the normal
perception, that which our culture has instilled in us and our social environment.
- What do I want to transcend the parameters of my perception?
"Because that's the end of man is like if you ask me what it wants to be a seed tree.
- What do we understand?
That the world we see every day is just one interpretation of the many out there.
If we suspend our opinion, we agree to such other interpretations that open
countless possibilities of perception and unprecedented action.
-Castaneda started by hallucinogenic drugs ...
"His disciples did not use drugs. The ancient shamans knew that our
energy is focused on self-reflection and to be out of there. To achieve this with Castaneda for
break his rationality and rigidity, Don Juan used drugs, but in your particular case and in that time
.
-shamanic practices were secret. Why disclose now?
-Don Juan saw that his line was running behind him and something new will be open. So
instructed Castaneda and his other three disciples the task of deciding how close the race: "Do it with a flourish
" he said.
- What did Castaneda?
She decided to be consistent with your time, the communication, and spread the teachings of Don Juan to
through his books. The last secret, magical passes, the group unveiled its initiates.
- What are the magical passes? "They
breathing and body movements found in ancient shamans dream state
and have the ability to restructure our energy, giving us
being and physical and mental vitality. Castaneda said that with them conquer the inner silence, to quiet the inner turmoil
.
- Movements energy?
"People are defined energy units, but the effects of
everyday life make our energy to drift outside of our centers of vitality.
relocate the magical passes that energy and with it we can access other possibilities of perception and action.
- So what's the result?
"I'll give you an example: if you have conflicts or problems with another person, all their energy is consumed in this concern
and dead ends. Our energy stuck at that point in the
self-reflection, of self-importance.
- What do you propose in these circumstances?
"We must be able at all times have the vision of another, to our inner space
another way of understanding. If we understand that each person who interacts with us has something
to show us, we will transit flow and energy for us.
- Are we going to energy and energy?
"Yes, our life is a journey to increase our awareness and then returns to the origin. But
shamans were extremely pragmatic.
- What do you mean?
"When the energy flows are in the right direction, but when there is tight
to force it in one direction, change of address. The magical passes relocate your energy, you should
used to change out of this stagnation, reflecting a constant concern
itself, which is nothing more than disguised self-pity.
- And you can start at any point in your life?
"Yes, because in the magical passes is a discipline called
wrap and consists in the systematic review of our life to see how we used our energy and so
to change.
- Where?
"We all have an inner voice that can tell us what the address at all times, but
our focus is on strengthening our ego, and while we feel that the most important
the world ourselves, we can not see the world. Feeling important makes one
heavy, clumsy and banal.
- And that energy can be misused?
"We're trained to interpret things as opposites: good and bad. But shamans
all that existed was the energy. Things work let it flow naturally when energy stagnates
only if we hurt. His teachings were aimed at the left flow, the
understanding of the basic steps to achieve the feat to see.
- see that anything is possible?
"Yes, we realize that we have endless possibilities that are not linked to the
idea we have of ourselves, but the freedom we get dizzy.
