Visitor:  I need Power to fulfill my aspirations.  I am inspired by the teachings of the Nagual Seers of Mexico because they seem to disclose procedures for acquiring the needed Power.  Am I on the right track?

Inheritor:  All sorts of people want Power for a variety of reasons.  Many people are greedy and desperate about it in a rather unpleasant, even hideous manner.  Power avoids most people for what are actually rather obvious reasons.

Visitor:  I understand that, but I also have a strong intuition that you have Power, so I am humbly asking you to help me acquire the Power I need to fulfill my legitimate desires and aspirations.

Inheritor:  It is mediocre to want to get or have Power without wanting to see Power, so it is that all sorts of wretched people are blindly seeking Power.  This blindness and grasping go hand-in-hand with bad motives. 

V:  How does one see Power?

I:  Power is seen with the Eyes of Eternity.

V:  That sounds poetically fantastic, but pragmatically difficult.  How do the “Eyes of Eternity” become activated in an individual such as myself?

I:  Power has to want you so that She will open your Eyes of Eternity.  If you are not attractive to Power, She will keep your Eyes of Eternity closed and keep Herself hidden and inaccessible.

V:  You refer to Power as feminine, as “She”.  Is that true or just something like Hindu devotees who always worship Power as Shakti, The Goddess?

I:  Power is feminine for men and masculine for women.

V:  Why is that?

I:  Because sex is the First Gateway of Power, which was long ago understood by both Hindu and Buddhist Tantra and even before those traditions.  In fact, anything that intensifies your energy double is a potential Gateway to Power.

V:  What turns an intensification into a Gateway of Power?

I:  Intent.

V:  Does it take will-power to do that?

I:  Will-power is a false power because it is a weakness that is exerting itself to become a strength, whereas Intent is a focus of beginning Power.  So, let us say that Intent is that focus of our Spirit that turns Energy into a zone or faculty of Power.

V:  Does learning to work with Intent make us attractive to Power?

I:  Yes, but only if Intent is genuine and pure motivation of the Spirit Self, the Nagual, and not some struggling ambition or frustration of the Social Self, the Tonal, for that would be false Intent.  A merely greedy, aggressive, forceful or desperate occultist, no matter how occultly excited (or titillated), cannot develop Intent because the consciousness is stuck in the normal position.  Occultly excited or self-enhanced normalcy of the Tonal is not attractive to Power.  The everyday garden variety occultist or would-be Nagual Seer or Sorcerer, can only pretend to have Power.  Such people never want to see Power because it is only through blindness and playing on the blindness of others that they can keep up their stupid social game.  They all want to become a famous Don so-and-so!  Imitation is not the bridge to the Real.  Power always avoids imitators and pretenders.  Whatever they get socially is all they are ever going to have.

V:  Maybe I need you or some other Man-of-Power to slap me on the back like Juan Matus would do to Carlos Castaneda.  Or do I need to visit a Siddha in India who will give me Shaktipat, an Empowerment-from-overhead by touch or look?

I:  That is wholly up to Power Herself, but there is also an issue as to the purity-of-motive of the Seer, Shaman or Siddha.  Half-baked people of incomplete power can have only a temporary or distorting affect that gives only dubious results, though even these interactions are preliminary Play of Power.  Power brought you here with your various aspirations, struggles, doubts, questions and assumptions.  But Power does not incline me to backslap you or give Shaktipat.

V:  Why not?

I:  You are not prepared.  It would only amplify your personal faults and problems.  You are not yet living as a clean and wholesome Warrior.  You have read Castaneda books for a long time and made all sorts of self-exciting experiments.  I can see that you do the Magical Passes, but you have been also avoiding a very fundamental shift in your approach, your consciousness, your assemblage point, that no one, including myself, is going to do for you.

V:  Where is my main area of failing to be a Warrior?

I:  You are not really asking advice of your death.  Your Death is the First-Representative-of-Power.  Death is Her primary scout from Her World.  Because you ignore Her primary scout, She avoids you.  You have read Castaneda books too selectively rather than systematically with authentic Intent.

V:  I’ve got it!  You are helping me open my Eyes of Eternity so that my whole approach to Power can shift into a higher dimension of motivation as Intent, which will then attract Power through whatever People-of-Power or situations that may be needed.

I:  That’s it!
