 transcendence. The spirit release from matter.

The Don Juan teachings, transmitted by Castaneda, are only a very determined view of one of the many knowledge lineages left by the Toltec and that still exist hiding in the Anahuac. It should be remembered that "the tenant" came to change completely the route and destination of the ancient lineage. The knowledge received came from the first Toltec and later naguales, including Don Juan, will give a new twist to the higher objective and their practices.

We cannot and must not, taken them as "The Toltecáyotl official version". In addition, we must not forget that all this knowledge was "filtered" by Castaneda himself, through his own perceptual framework in which his culture intervened.

Total freedom, has been the highest achievement of all human beings who have developed their being consciousness potential. All peoples have this knowledge in one way or another. Some on their skin and others in the depths of their cultural manifestations. The opportunity is for everyone, but only a few can take advantage.

"Don Juan said that each apprentice had already said farewell, and we all were in a consciousness state that did not admit sentimentalism. For us, he said, there was only action. We were warriors in a total war state...

Remember that the intent begins with a command...

He said again and again that the intent management begins with a command given to oneself; the command is repeated until it becomes the Eagle command, and then, the lace point moves as soon as warriors reach inner silence...

Knowing this is possible enabled ancient seers move their lace points to incredible reverie positions in the immeasurable unknown; for new seers mean refusing to be food, it means escaping from the Eagle, moving its lace points to a very peculiar reverie position called total freedom...

Don Juan said that, in facing the choice of death in the world of everyday affairs or dying in unknown worlds, adventurous spirit men inevitably chose the second, and, realizing that their predecessors simply chose to change their place of death, new seers realized the futility of all what ancient seers did; the futility of struggling to control their peers, the futility of aligning other worlds and, above all, the personal importance futility...

Don Juan commented that, unknowingly, when choosing total freedom, new seers continued their predecessors tradition and became the quintessence of the death challengers...

''—New seers are consumed by alignment strength —continued don Juan— with will power, converted in intent power by an impeccable life. The intent is alignment in all conscience amber emanations, so it is correct to say that total freedom means total consciousness...''

''Freedom is the Eagle gift to men. Unfortunately, very few men understand that, to accept such a great gift the only thing we need is enough energy.''

"And if that is all we need, then, no matter how, we have to be stingy with our energy..."C.C.
