Many of us are not mature enough to stop playing pretend. I've seen it over and over on Nagualism based message boards and groups. Everyone wants to pretend they're a nagual, pretending that they have something to teach the rest of us, or they want to start a "group". Why not be humble and be concerned only with becoming a mature and focused warrior? Wanting to start a group is nothing but putting yourself in a place of importance.
Don Juan didn't "want" to start a group. Don Juan didn't pick people to be in his party. Intent chose and he acquiesced. As he said, he wasn't concerned with teaching anyone, his only concern was continuing his lineage. And as we know, that lineage stopped with Carlos, Florinda, Taisha, and Carol.
In my opinion we are all now part of the new configuration. Carlos spread this knowledge far and wide with his books. I am not saying that new configurations, or groups wouldn't be possible. Anything is possible. But I feel very confident that new configurations would not be put together by someone who goes around telling people about it on a message board. It would be by someone who SEES. And not someone who goes around telling people that they see on message boards... warriors don't go around boasting things. And also it wouldn't be someone who defends themselves on message boards either.
A true warrior-seer may not be easy to spot if they are purposely remaining hidden, but a sham-warrior can be spotted in a second, by the childish way they approach things.
That being said, I'm not trying to put you down Jin. I come off a bit harshly sometimes, but don't take it personally. We're all dumb-asses most of the time.
