Actually, what I agreed to is that I'm not free according to ANY view. But you do not understand that views (partial) are not free (whole) by definition.

Castaneda is not my authority. I don't respect him any more than I do you. Your words are fine.

How many minds are you aware of? For me, as for CC, mind = inventory. There's just one. But if you want to describe several, I beieve I can adopt whatever syntax you'd like to use.


For a mind, freedom will always be in the future. It will always be something you're not. Drop the mind.

We would drop the sorcerers' description because it too is only a description. As long as there are descriptions or views, you miss the entirety, the totality. You are the totality. I suppose sorcerers do adopt it for as long as they're here. Do you want to be a sorcerer?

The mystery is right here. You don't have to fit into any conditions to perceive it. You're a perceiver, but you're busy thinking. Stop thinking and just perceive and the mystery will be apparent.

If you want to travel, that's fine. But you'll still be where you place your feet. The mystery isn't localized to just certain places or states of consciousness. Consciousness is the mystery - all of it. Right where you are is mystery. Isn't it a wonder that you can formulate thought? That you can operate a keyboard and interpret these symbols and give them meaning? Isn't that mysterious, or do you presume it to be ordinary?
