“We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.” ― Carlos Castaneda

For you the world is weird because if you're not bored with it you're at odds with it. For me the world is weird because it is stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable; my interest has been to convince you that you must assume responsibility for being here, in this marvelous world, in this marvelous desert, in this marvelous time. I wanted to convince you that you must learn to make every act count, since you are going to be here for only a short while, in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it.

Nagualism

Nagualism Nagualism with the subtitle - A Study in Native American Folklore and History - must have been the raw material from which Carlos Castaneda wrote his books on Yaqui sorcery. It was written by Danial G. Brinton and read before the American Philosophical Society in 1804. His respect and descriptions of the tribes, their visions and beliefs suggests that he might have tasted the little smoke or similar compounds himself.

Nagualism

What is Nagualism?

Nagualism, often associated with Mesoamerican indigenous traditions, is a complex spiritual and philosophical system that revolves around the concept of the "nagual." The term "nagual" can refer to a person who possesses the ability to transform, either spiritually or physically, into an animal or other form. This transformation is not merely a physical change but represents a deeper spiritual journey and connection to the natural and supernatural worlds. Rooted in pre-Columbian cultures, particularly among the Nahuatl-speaking peoples like the Aztecs, Nagualism has been intertwined with local beliefs and practices for centuries. Over time, it has been influenced by and has influenced other spiritual systems, resulting in a rich tapestry of traditions and interpretations. While Nagualism is often sensationalized in popular culture, it remains a deeply spiritual practice for many indigenous communities in Mesoamerica, emphasizing harmony with nature, personal transformation, and the interconnectedness of all beings.

Meditating Upon a Centipede

author’s note: I dedicate this poem to those who wanted the Carlos Castaneda books to be true. I dedicate this poem to myself. MEDITATING UPON A CENTIPEDE Influenced by that author who told us how he’d seen the unseen I decided to go into the forest alone to try to pierce the veil of ordinary reality— maybe if I believed strongly enough and razored my intent I’d see that spirit world for…

Nelle lunghe ore d'ozio trascorse a Goa, nella spiaggia di Calangute, sperimentavo coi sogni lucidi leggendo Gli Insegnamenti di Don Juan di Carlos Castaneda. TRASCRIZIONE [ENG translation below] Oggi parliamo di Carlos Castaneda e dei sogni lucidi, e voglio raccontarvi come io ho incontrato molti anni fa Carlos Castaneda mentre mi trovavo a Goa, in India. Era una situazione molto particolare, nel senso che avevo un sacco di tempo libero perché appunto stavo trascorrendo un lungo, lungo, lungo periodo, diversi mesi, a Goa, siamo all'inizio degli anni 90, forse proprio 1990, fine del 1990, e sto trascorrendo appunto una lunghissima vacanza in Asia e all'interno di questa vacanza ho trascorso circa sei mesi a Goa. All'epoca Goa era un posto frequentato da fricchettoni, c'erano moltissimi tedeschi. Io all'epoca abitavo a Berlino, quindi ero sulla scia dei party techno dei dj di Berlino che sono arrivato a Goa e lì, appunto, avevo un sacco di tempo a disposizione, visto che Goa, all'epoca nella spiaggetta di Calangute dove ho abitato diversi mesi, non c'era nessuna struttura turistica ma c'erano solo le case dei pescatori, e infatti abitavo in una delle case dei pescatori che avevo affittato, tra l'altro bellissima, con fuori la doccia fatta con foglie di banana intrecciate, poi ogni sera la signora mi portava il secchio d'acqua calda da mischiare con l'acqua fresca per farmi la doccia. E come dicevo, lì era pieno di gente che non faceva niente e pieno di fancazzisti, me inclusa, oltre che giocare a racchettoni sulla lunghissima spiaggia di Calangute non c'era molto altro da fare, poi ogni tanto si prendeva la bici, si andava all'ufficio postale a vedere se erano arrivate lettere alla posta restante. Ecco, qui c'era anche un posto dove si potevano prendere in prestito dei libri, lasciati dai viaggiatori, e così incontrai Carlos Castaneda e Gli Insegnamenti di Don Juan, e visto che non avevo appunto molto altro da fare, mi misi a sperimentare coi sogni lucidi. Cos'è il sogno lucido? È un sogno nel quale tu, mentre sogni, sei cosciente del fatto che stai sognando. Quindi c'è tutta una preparazione che devi fare, poi sei all'interno del sogno e fai cose tipo: alza la mano destra, e nel sogno alzi la mano destra, nel senso che te lo dici, fai le prove e poi piano piano c'è l'escalation, puoi metterti a camminare, andare in giro ecc. Io ho fatto, sì, diversi esperimenti e devo dire che mi ricordo di essere riuscita a sollevare una mano, non mi ricordo se a destra e sinistra nel sogno, poi, come succede, come succedeva spesso in quel periodo, molto nebuloso, ho perso la pazienza e mi sono messa a fare altro, a adesso non mi ricordo manco cosa mi fossi messa a fare, comunque gli Insegnamenti di Don Juan di Carlos Castaneda mi sono accorta un libro che all'epoca leggevano tutti e che adesso sta tornando di moda perché mi pare che sia stata fatta un'altra edizione. Comunque, se avete voglia di sperimentare coi sogni lucidi, gli Insegnamenti di Don Juan di Carlos Castaneda. TRANSLATION Today we are talking about Carlos Castaneda and lucid dreams, and I want to tell you how I met Carlos Castaneda many years ago while I was in Goa, India. It was a very special situation, in the sense that I had a lot of free time because I was actually spending a long, long, long period, several months, in Goa, we are in the early 1990s, maybe just 1990, late 1990, and I am spending a very long vacation in Asia and within this vacation I spent about six months in Goa. At that time Goa was a place frequented by beatniks, there were a lot of Germans. I was living in Berlin at the time, so it was in the wake of the techno parties of the Berlin DJs that I came to Goa and there, well, I had a lot of time on my hands, since Goa, at that time, in the little beach of Calangute where I lived for several months, there was no tourist facility but there were only fishermen's houses, and in fact I lived in one of the fishermen's houses that I rented, which was beautiful by the way, with a shower outside that was made out of woven banana leaves, then every night the lady of the house would bring me the bucket of hot water to mix with the fresh water to take a shower. And as I said, there it was full of slackers and SFA, including me, people doing nothing other than playing matkot on the very long beach of Calangute there wasn't much else to do, then every once in a while taking your bike to go to the post office to see if any letters had arrived at poste restante. So, there was also a place here where you could borrow books, left by travellers, and so I met Carlos Castaneda and The Teachings of Don Juan, and since I didn't have much else to do, I started experimenting with lucid dreams. What is lucid dreaming? It is a dream in which you, while dreaming, are aware that you are dreaming. So there's a whole preparation that you have to do, then you're inside the dream and you do things like: raise your right hand, and in the dream you raise your right hand, in the sense that you tell yourself, you rehearse and then slowly there's escalation, you can start moving, walking around etc. I did, yes, several experiments and I have to say that I remember being able to lift a hand, I don't remember if the left or the right, in the dream, then, as it happens, as it often happened in that period, all very hazy, I lost my patience and I started doing something else, now I don't even remember what I had put myself to do, anyway the Teachings of Don Juan by Carlos Castaneda, I realised is a book that at that time everybody was reading and now it is coming back in fashion because I think they issued a new edition. Anyway, if you feel like experimenting with lucid dreams, Carlos Castaneda's Teachings of Don Juan.

the truth within the lie

He fooled us.  Looking back, I feel a little embarrassed. The “he” is Carlos Castaneda.  Shaman-in-hiding for my generation. Beginning with The Teachings of Don Juan in 1968, his books told of his adventures in a wonderfully strange (but often dangerous) “separate reality”.  Our fascination kept him atop the bestseller list.  But sometime in the 1980s, we sobered up.  Now I ask… Why did we…
