NOw, im certain that i could write a bloody long post about the warrios path, but im going to give links and hope that the reader may draw a conclusion. MAsterfully premature, since one must walk the path in order to grasp it, but,there it is...
Those that read Castaneda probably also know that exists no books with a better description of DIFERENT cognative system and also desriptions of shadows words, inorganic beings, THE EAGLE, the luminous cacoon, old wizards and what not...the good and the bad, plus the ugly... and something else also of great importance my friends...THE POINT OF PERCEPTION.
Castaneda was a man in trasformation, and since than many books have been written about DON JAUN and what not, regardless, i again state this, perhaps it shall be soemthing stupid, perhaps not...but here it goes.
The books of NAGUAL THeun Mares, reside in the fact of giving powerfull information and wisdom, that all can relato to! Making even the great castaneda BLUSH.
Containing POWER WITHIN THEM, unlike some snippets within castenda, those actaulyl being form DON JUAN himself, since CAStaneda was by far tooooo obsessed a fellow, Nagual THeuns with cergical precision shows the actual problem traps and enemys of natural mankind.
Enjoy the ride::) And peace to you mate!

i think these are enough to get an idea...righT?
I really enjoyed reading Castaneda's series years ago. The story and adventures are brilliant.
One of the things that left an impression on me was the focus on the solar plexus. I've tried the running across a field at night many times, while concentrating on the center of body mass and it works, or I've been just lucky not to step into a hole and break my ankle.
It's not like regular jogging, you're sort of hunched over focused on the solar plexus and you sort of envision where you're stepping, even though there is no illumination of the ground. It's weird, but my ability to do this was purely inspired by Castaneda's books.
Also changed my fear of night/dark to welcoming it as a comfort.
Remember the parts about jumping by using the power or cord from the navel? This is years later and I've taken up Kitesurfing and it's the physical mechanical equivalent of Castaneda's description, the power of the kite is attached to a harness point at the waist area and the power enables you to jump in a supernatural way. Reminds me of the wonderful stories.
As far as the philosophy being obtainable by the common person, the methods seemed so extreme. In so many situations, it was life or death, or if something went wrong, it meant total raving insanity.
Of course, this created enormous drama to the stories and made it so much more fun to read.
A bit tough or impossible for the regular house holder to follow this path IMHO.
That sort of stalking is all about PRIMAL. Castaneda is a genius. He helped me sooo much with astral travel i cannot even begin to tell you. "The art of dreaming" recommended for anyone that is serious about ld,obe, or remote viewing. Any time you can reflect on how a book has changed you it was powerful reading. I past the first gate shortly after reading about it and it just went from there.
The warrior soul fit so well with my military past and martial arts ive been in all my life that its just part of me....
Thought I had read all his books, but its been years. I'll have to get "The art of dreaming". Thanks.
Is "The warrior soul" a reference from one of the books? I couldn't find a title with that name by Castaneda.
cheers......
On Amazon.com I see these books by Theun Mares, but there must be others...
Shadows of Wolf Fire - The Toltec Teachings Vol 4
Cry of the Eagle - The Toltec Teachings
The Quest for Maleness
This Darned Elusive Happiness
Unveil the Mysteries of the Female
Anyone familiar with these books would lilke to comment?
