Part 2 of 2
While we sat in silence, we could hear someone whistling, rather creatively, outside. First it seemed disturbing, but Castaneda advised us, “Let the whistling take you … follow it.”
Castaneda told us to do the sitting in silence position every night, and suggested doing it compulsively and persistently. He imitated someone telling him, “You know, I’ve done it for a week now. Are you sure this is going to give me results? Well, five days really, but it’s been like a week. It’s been like an eternity.” He also joked that “you may sweat” while doing this, “so you’ve got to have a towel for the dowel.” Otherwise, he claimed, “you’ll end up getting a puddle on the floor.” He told us that some people could be “sweaty for an hour,” while others “are much looser, and can go off after a few minutes.” He joked that we should be “artistic” about it – meaning, from his reference earlier in the hour, “autistic,” or really compulsive.
The nagual told us that one of the most powerful not-doings one can practice is to alter your voice (he even had us doing things like putting small rocks in our mouths to make strange changes).
The Nagual always used to talk about the energy body being far away, or near by. He said that in sorcerers it was nearby, and that the more tensegrity we practiced the closer it got. He joked that OUR bodies were now in Hawaii, but before he came along they were in China.
