Language

What do y’all think makes a language universal? My initial thoughts are that it has to be action based language rather than verbal (still thinking about it). It also has to be something that every human can understand.

(And do NOT say ‘music’ is the universal language. That statement would be incredibly inaccurate.)

Awkward……Silence

So what makes awkward silence so awkward?

Time in The Teachings of Don Juan

Has anyone noticed this? And i know i’m thinking about this linearly…:

Look on the bottom of page 104. The entry where Castaneda tries the Little Smoke is dated December 31, 1963. Now look at page 109. The entry AFTER this experience is dated December 28, 1963. How is this possible?!?!?!

Urban vs. Rural Living

It seems to me that what this site terms “Nagualism” has gone through a dramatic shift within the last 40 or so years. City dwellers are able to follow the teachings of the Spirit. This, as opposed to the rural setting that Castaneda was in when he went to see Don Juan. This of course is due to Castaneda’s books and their global availability. These days, we see the Tensegrity seminars in major cities around the world.

So how has this shift affected how the teachings are presented to us, those that live in urban areas?

Holes in Non-human organisms

So i’m watching a program on the life of ostriches and it got me wondering. When animals lay eggs/give birth, do they end up with holes in their cocoon?

Passes with the tools

Are there any Passes involving the balls and paperweight that are not in the book?
