I was using nagual to mean a person of the correct energy configuration. Don Juan certainly spoke of meeting many of these men in his search for someone to carry on his lineage ... but that until C.C. they were all well-ensconced in their (business?) milieus and not available to leave and lead. It gave me the impression that for the most part they were successful and happy -- perhaps above the normal success/happiness rate of the majority of the population? Do you think it means nothing to these men that they have this energy configuration -- whether they are conscious of it or not, per se? Consider how the nagual Julian was using his energy before he knew anything about his energy ...
