"Seers maintain, naturally, that awareness always 
comes from outside ourselves, that the real mystery 
is not inside us. Since by nature the emanations at 
large are made to fixate what is inside the cocoon, 
the trick of awareness is to let the fixating 
emanations merge with what is inside us. Seers 
believe that if we let that happen we become 
what we really are--fluid, forever in motion, eternal."
      "The degree of awareness of every individual 
sentient being depends on the degree to which 
it is capable of letting the pressure of the 
emanations at large carry it."


 Carlos Castaneda "The fire from within" 1984









"I am going to disclose to you a warrior's
secret. Perhaps you can call it a warrior's 
predilection. The life of a warrior cannot 
possibly be cold and lonely and without 
feelings because it is based on his affection, 
his devotion, his dedication to his beloved. 
And who, you ask, is his beloved? I will 
show you now.
      His love is the world. He embraces this 
enormous earth. The earth knows that he 
loves it and it bestows on him its care. 
That's why his life is filled to the brim 
and his state, wherever he'll be, will be 
plentiful. He roams on the paths of his 
love and, wherever he is, he is complete.
      This is the predilection of a warrior. 
This earth, this world. For a warrior there 
can be no greater love. Only if one loves 
this earth with unbending passion can one 
release one's sadness. A warrior is always 
joyful because his love is unalterable and 
his beloved, the earth, embraces him and 
bestows upon him inconceivable gifts.

Seers can see , for instance, the emanations inside any living creature and can tell which of the outside emanations would match them.
The emanations are something indescribable. My personal comment would be to say that they are like filaments of light. What's incomprehensible to normal awareness is that the filaments are aware. I can't tell you what that means, because I don't know what I am saying. All I can tell you with my personal comments is that the filaments are aware of themselves, alive and vibrating, that there are so many of them that numbers have no meaning and that each of them is an eternity in itself.
