If you haven’t watched the Unbending Intent DVD or the Tensegrity Vol. 1, 2 or 3 ones, there’ll be a couple of extra Passes in there.

Tell us what you think about the interview. I have a favourite moment, but I’ll let you watch it for yourself first…

  1. BratscheWarrior dice:

    2 things caught my attention.

    1) What was up with fashion in the early 90’s?!?!?!?!

    2) The 2 hosts are total “New Age” douchebags. i could tell they had no real interest in what the Chacmools were saying. Compare body positions betweens the douchebags and the Chacmools.

    Haven’t seen 2 1/2 of the passes they demonstrated. The 1/2 is because the 2nd one they showed, Building a House of Energy i think is very similar to the first one on the 2nd tape. The other 2 were completely new to me. So thanks for the link!

    What is that favorite moment? When Reni doesn’t know which camera to look at? :blink:

  2. ensonar dice:

    Weird. I can’t say that I’m fond of it. Kind of strange that they agreed to be on something so imbecilic. The whole thing seemed kind of awkward and scripted. Like they had memorized every word they were supposed to say. I didn’t watch every moment of it, but from what I saw, it seemed like there wasn’t much that was spoken off the cuff.

    Favorite(?) moment? When they were asked what don Juan meant when he said “our time is running out”, in regards to humanity in general. Kylie begins by acting as if she has something to say, but ends up saying nothing really.

  3. forfuckssake dice:

    Yeah, exactly! How long was the opening? 3/4 minutes of the odd couple looking enlightened.

    But I don’t think the Chacmools memorized it all. It looked like they were reading it from pieces of paper on the coffee table. Or maybe they were reading energy on the wall. Maybe not.

    The favourite moment was when Kylie was saying to the hippie chick that the world is fine…then she said something like, “If only humans could…” As she said ‘humans’ she let out a smile of incredulous disdain almost. Anyway, I liked that. Although the Reni moment was also pretty good, a close second.

  4. ensonar dice:

    Please pardon me for speaking from my ass. My feelings about the beginning of the interview haven’t really changed, but upon watching the rest of the clip I have a little better feelings about the interview in general.

    It seems like when they explain the story of Carlos, which has been told in almost every interview ever given by any of them, it seemed stiff and rehearsed. However, once they started talking about Tensegrity, their field of expertise, they opened up and seemed much more at ease.

    The hosts are still nincompoops 🙂

    Thanks for posting

    These two are not douchebags. They are impeccable warriors.

    If you are talking about the 2 interviewers, are you serious?????!?!?!??!?!

    i’m talking not about facts.
    i’m talking about point of wiev.

    then all being are impeccable warriors, you stop to judge them and begin to work with yourself.
    if there will be only one douchebag in the planet, you will spend all your time laughing at him 🙂

  8. ensonar dice:

    Well maybe not all of my time, but just some of it, if he or she happens to practice his or her douchebaggery in front of me. I would expect the same of those witnessing my douchebaggery as well of course!

    Here’s another point of view: I think you have it back to front. All beings are douchebags. In the case of that interview, I think the difference is that the Chacmools know they are douchebags, accept it and direct their energy toward practicing Tensegrity. I don’t think the interviewers know it, they’re too worried about saving humanity or whatever.

    As I said, just my point of view. Cite Kylie’s laugh at ‘human beings’ that I previously quoted.

  10. forfuckssake dice:

    Hi Ensonar! Same post time, nearly. B)

  11. BratscheWarrior dice:

    i’m just saying objectively that the interviewers are douchebags. They think that they are so spiritual. They don’t even know what ‘spiritual’ is.

    i think i’m going to rewatch the video. i could use a good laugh at those petty tyr…i mean [/B]UNimpeccable[B] douchebags.

    And at the time of this interview, i would think that the Chacmools are all seers. And it sounds like they knew what they wanted to say and when they wanted to say it. Impeccable use of language.

  12. BratscheWarrior dice:

    Checked out the feedback for the video and came across this one, describing the Path (page 2)

    “It is scrambling around in the dark, trying to find matches to light a lamp no one knows the location of.”

  13. cada dia dice:

    Well maybe not all of my time, but just some of it, if he or she happens to practice his or her douchebaggery in front of me. I would expect the same of those witnessing my douchebaggery as well of course!

    and how will you act if you met douchebag, but your point of wiev is: “he is impeccable”?

    the douchebag are doing his stuff, but you looking at him like at impeccable warrior.

    what will be different?

  14. BratscheWarrior dice:

    There would be no difference in the way i would act because i would not PRETEND that these people are impeccable warriors.

    What if the Don Juan Matus when telling his story of how the Nagual Julian made him into a Warrior acted as if his tyranical boss (at the sugar mill) was an impeccable warrior (erroreously of course)? The boss was just a petty tyrant and Don Juan treated him as such and he got what was coming to him.

    These people conducting the interview are nothing more than petty tyrants. And if they were to try to convince the Chacmools of their view of the world, the Chacmools would have laughed at them for sure. As we all just laugh at the puniness and stupidity of the average man.

  15. ensonar dice:

    and how will you act if you met douchebag, but your point of wiev is: “he is impeccable”?

    the douchebag are doing his stuff, but you looking at him like at impeccable warrior.

    what will be different?

    I’m not sure this will answer your question, but it makes me want to answer you on several different layers.

    On the one hand, it seems obvious that the two interviewers were air-headed new-age types who feel that they are some of the most spiritual beings around, or at least want others to feel that they are. Why the chacmools decided to present themselves on such a weak program is beyond me. But I would assume that the chacmools were at least aware enough to see the sillyness of the two interviewers just as we all are seeing it now. However, they kept their composure and didn’t laugh at them directly, call them douchebags, or anything of that nature. They had a purpose to attend to, and they took care of that and didn’t bother with anything else.

    Don Juan made fun of and embarrased Carlos all the time in Castaneda’s books. However, I’m sure that in don Juan’s dealings with the daily world, he didn’t go around making fun of and embarrasing every silly idiot he came across. It wouldn’t serve his purpose to have done so.

    Another level to this however, is related to the fact that I said it seems obvious that the interviewers were douchebags. I certainly don’t doubt that at times you could say that the nagual Julian, Genaro, Ziola, and many many others intentionally acted like douchebags, assholes, or whatever. I’m not saying that there’s much of a chance that the interviewers were impeccable warriors acting like new-age goofballs. But your question made me want to point out the fact that an impeccable warrior just might use douchebaggery at times if it serves his or her purpose.

  16. cada dia dice:

    “On the one hand, it seems obvious that the two interviewers were air-headed new-age..”

    lets use logic correctly:) the only thing that is obvious is that two magical beeings had enough energy to met other tree magical beings:)))
    everything else is just crap that holds your assambled point stand still.

    my english is crapish :), i asked to change point position. to play the situation.
    not to do some intelectual thinking 🙂

  17. ensonar dice:

    And I thank you for that! 🙂
