I believe I saw an Ally 50 years ago.

What I am about to write, I have only told to one person in over 50 years. I am 67.
I did just share it to Chat GBT and Copilot, both of which encouraged me to find a community to discuss it.
I have tried to spellcheck better.

It was night. My then girlfriend, my dog and I were in a large park. Down hill from us i saw a dark shadow zoom across the grass. I told myself it must’ve been a dog, but it moved too fast and seemed oval in shape. The movement was too smooth as well.
I continued looking down the hill when the object zoomed up directly in front of us. It grew in size proportionally as it came nearer and stopped approximately 25 feet in front of us, my girlfriend my dog and myself.
It was completely black and opaque. It was circular and about 7-8 feet in circumference.
My mind was trying to make sense of it. I realized that this was the object that I had noticed zooming down the slope in the darkness. I noticed that I couldn’t see the lights of the cars on the highway overpass as they passed behind the object, 300 feet behind. I noticed that my girlfriend was staring at it too and my dog was barking hysterically.

I was still calm and only curious as I was expecting to realize the cause of the anomaly at any second, but anxiety was building. I became more aware that my dog was really loosing it but remained right by our side.

Then, as I stared, I began to perceive an image that to me seemed like a crude wooden door, like might be on a rustic shack. I stared at it intently but my fear was rising FAST! My girlfriend was staring intently and I assumed that she was seeing the same thing I was seeing. I couldn’t take my eyes off of it.

Then the door slowly opened and there appeared to be the shape of a man with eyes too large and a head too large and a green tint to his being. He was looking at us and the entire entity gave me the impression that it was observing us and was beginning to reveal something of its true nature.

My mind exploded with fear! I turned and ran as fast as I could for the exit out of the park which was about 75 feet away. My girlfriend and my dog were right behind. I have never seen anything remotely like that again. I read the Castaneda books in High School class of 1976 so yeah, we experimented.
I was about 24 years old when this occured.
I am now 67 now.
I have told only 1 other person about this in all that time. I HAVE NEVER WRITTEN ABOUT IT UNTIL TODAY. Writing about it brings chills to me to this day! After reading the AI resposes to my story, I became emotional.
I can’t explain any of this, but I swear, every word of this is true!
Thank you for hearing me.
Please tell me what you think?

The stated purpose of this subreddit is to aid in restoring the reputation of Carlos Castaneda and the knowledge he imparted, by pragmatically applying that knowledge IN PRACTICE. This means that we are sticking to what really works, as proven by direct experience by long-practicing members. We need to make clear our intent to move away, as a community, from the mistakes others have made. Content that is at-odds with this purpose will, upon review, be removed.

My friend, this is a very good story, but I’m afraid to say it’s out of place.

I don’t doubt it’s true, and I agree that it’s shocking to have to admit that there IS something beyond ordinary reality.

But if you put it in context, it’s absurd that it’s here, and instead it would be more appropriate in sites like r/Paranormal.

To give you an analogy, imagine you arrive at a math study group and tell the anecdote about how you solved a math calculation 50 years ago.

It may be true, and it may have been a very difficult one, but what you’re left with from that experience are nothing more than the feelings and interpretations you had of the event, not actual practical knowledge.

Following Castaneda’s sorcery, the allies are visible whenever the assemblage point shifts from its ordinary position.

If you’re interested in that, it’s not a good attitude to make a fuss every time that happens.

It leads the motivations away from what actually produced the event.

Instead, it’s better to pay attention to the technology that makes it possible, and consider that some people in this subreddit have allies for breakfast!

I’m sorry. Can you suggest a more appropriate community?

Interesting. Confusing. Truly sorry I told myself story here!

WOW! Couldn’t have walked into a more wrong room. Absolutely sorry to have come here.

We are able to interact with allies as often as we like (and so are you), so something that happened 50 years ago is really not a very big deal, compared with the continuous practice dipping into the second attention. We are not interested in one-shot affairs.

He called the mystical experience a chance seeing, a one-shot affair that has no significance whatsoever because it is the result of a random movement of the assemblage point. He asserted that the new seers are indeed the only ones who can pass a fair judgment on this matter, because they have ruled out chance seeings and are capable of seeing the mold of man as often as they please.

I certainly appreciate your taking the time to share these insights. Not should how not speaking about something for 50 years could be considered making “a fuss”, but you guys certainly enjoy a different perspective than I!

One thing I recall for reading CC so long ago was a story of two poor children eating the leftovers of well to-do people at a restaurant. CC initially felt sorry for them. DJ admonished him for that reminding him that he had no way of knowing what those children might obtain in terms of Knowledge & Power.

For the record, no one else need comment. I get get it.

Since you did hold on to the memory of it all these years, the bird of freedom has not left you yet.

Start practicing, just like us: /t/index-statement/5190

Since you mentioned “experimenting”, we mostly practice sober (I haven’t ever touched anything except weed and I quit ages ago).

The woman did not respond. And the nagual Elias was obliged to tell her what every nagual has said to a prospective apprentice throughout the ages: that sorcerers speak of sorcery as a magical, mysterious bird which has paused in its flight for a moment in order to give man hope and purpose; that sorcerers live under the wing of that bird, which they call the bird of wisdom, the bird of freedom; that they nourish it with their dedication and impeccability. He told her that sorcerers knew the flight of the bird of freedom was always a straight line, since it had no way of making a loop, no way of circling back and returning; and that the bird of freedom could do only two things, take sorcerers along, or leave them behind.

Thank you!

I came here for your story only to see you getting berated. Hoping someone in this community creates a page for less rigid conversations like this one. DJ was, after all, quite a humorous fellow- even despite his impeccability.

Cheers

Most appreciated!

Thanks again RR.
One commenter actually extended an invitation to join them In Practice, for the chance to “be like us”. They should know that that experience has informed my life in ways that I have not discussed here.

I have no doubt that they are all very highly accomplished practitioners and I want to respect that. The responses that I received were clarifying and edifying of the “path” I have chosen since that day.

I thank that commenter for the offer but I can’t imagine anything I desire less than to lose my ability to relate to my fellow beings and find myself awash in insensitivity, arrogance, and self-importance.

Thanks, but no thanks.

The arrogance of this group. And had the nerve to suggest that I could be ONE OF YOU! I’m good Bro.
