Re: Icelander's Castaneda sig on being a Warrior [Re: Swami]
    #5233867 -

Don Juan explains that indians dont like talking as a form of communication. They remain solemn and introvertive. As in him describing that just because you 'understand' something, or something is explained to you, doesnt mean that you get it. There's also 8 other ways of 'getting' a thought.

The quote that's running through my head lately is Don Juan's concept of shutting off internal dialogue. Now, I talk to myself quite a bit. I talk to myself whenever I work on my visual art, when I forget how to use some pluging for some 3D application, or forgot where I found a tutorial, or something similar.

"What is that manufacturer's name for that fluid plugin for 3Dsmax?"
- "Oh yeah, 3D aliens"

If I wouldve remained internally quiet, I couldnt have answered my own question, which proved productive in my work. So why should I shut off my internal dialogue if it aids my process?

But that's not what Don Juan meant. He meant shutting it off when you're just blabbering away, indulging in mindless chatter, which the mind loves to do. I got what he meant as to when you should talk to yourself and when you shouldnt, but could not really 'explain' it to you, as it in something you'd have to get on your own. I got it in a very Indian sort of way :lol: .

To always need some safe route or some safe provable " model" to transform into....is rather silly. Oh I agree that from time to time one needs to follow in the foot steps of others but....true discovery and growth. The major kind anyway comes through stepping into the darkness in search of the light......all alone. One does not need everything proven or provable to walk into.



:thumbup:

all paths, even those traversed with a guide, lead into the jungle of chaos. No single path can be known by two sets of footprints. The congruity of the steps only creates an illusion of a path that is well worn and safe to travel.
