Castaneda - The Fire from Within

“Impeccability is nothing else but the proper use of #energy.”

“Warriors take strategic inventories.  They list everything they do.  Then they decide which of those things can be changed in order to allow themselves a respite, in terms of expending their energy.”
“Self-importance is our greatest enemy.  Think about it – what weakens us is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of our fellow men.  Our self-importance requires that we spend most of our lives offended by someone.”
“Without self-importance we are invulnerable.”
“In the strategic inventories of warriors, self-importance figures as the activity that consumes the greatest amount of energy, hence, their effort to eradicate it.”
“The seer who travels into the unknown to see the unknowable must be in an impeccable state of being.  He winked at me and said that to be in an impeccable state of being is to be free of rational assumptions and rational fears.”
“What is seeing then?”  
Seeing is alignment.  When seers see, something explains everything as the new alignment takes place.  It’s a voice that tells them in their ear what’s what.  If that voice is not present, what the seer is engaged in is not seeing.”
“Attention is man’s greatest single accomplishment.  Seers perfect it even further until it uncovers the whole scope of human possibilities.  There is no end to the mystery of man and to the mystery of the world.” 

Perception is #alignment, it’s all about the alignment of our energy.  But since we can’t see our energy, most of us completely disregard it - as if it doesn’t even exist!  A great method for building the attention muscle, is through the Art of stalking.  Stalking requires paying attention to what is being seen, heard or felt.
When engaged in this ancient art, you’re in a receptive and attentive mode.  In this alpha brainwave state, the inner dialog is no longer running the show.  It takes practice but the results will blow you away!  We never realize how unaware we are until we start becoming #aware.
