What you were writing about today (4/28/2023) about the layers seen in Heightened Awareness led me to a revelation about the question of where the body goes when shrinking the tonal.
You wrote that “The #1Rule of Sorcerers is there are only emanations and the awareness flowing into them. There is no space, no time, no matter.”
I was thinking about how the egg perceives the layers from seeing them in my own Darkroom experiences and realized that what you were describing about seeing the layers in heightened awareness means that we are just an egg sitting in a mesh of emanations at all times. In the Darkroom at Heightened Awareness, you begin to “see” layers of what I would call the common reality of the tonal broken down into parts, like feelings, heat, touch, a bit of a locale, the mood of the people, etc.
So it becomes a fallacy to just go looking for magic inside the Darkroom I realized, because the deeper one goes, the more of common reality (the tonal) one experiences in the Darkroom. That information comes from the emanations flowing through the AP.
That opens up incredible possibilities as far as incredible feats like traveling distances with ones body like described in the passage from the book you quote here. I walked upstairs thinking about the idea that real reality is only the emanations and my egg is perceiving the ones my AP assemblies as I walk around and it hit me.
My egg is not moving.
Without SPACE, there is no PROXIMITY. So the act of walking up the stairs to go talk with my husband is experienced by my egg as my body moving through space in common reality, the tonal, but I am actually moving along emanations until my AP is aligned to perceive the emanations of the room upstairs and my husband. But again, the egg does not move.
That explains why no-one “sees” the egg walking in the books because there is no place to walk along the emanations. That is not how it works.
If the egg never moves, and if a sorcerer is able to “see” the emanations that create the tonal, then traveling great distances would be completely possible.
But what happens to the Tonal body? has always been the question. Do we leave it behind? Yes, you have done that yourself. And you come back to your body where you left it.
But if there are only emanations and the Egg never moves, then it should be possible to shrink the tonal to a point that it is light enough to be carried by the Dream Body of the Purple Puffs, the Nagual. If someone were to be standing next to you, their mind would experience it as a rip in continuity and probably ignore it. A trained sorcerer could perceive a tonal body folded in half in a ditch without going insane.
But we have proven people are good at smoothing over these cracks in reality when they happen. That is how they keep themselves from going "mad’ even when magic occurs right in from of them. Like the Bagboy in the market who was picked up by Cholita probably blanked out the experience because it is just too much for his mind.
Or the famous experiment of people watching a basketball game not noticing a guy in a gorilla suit walking out on the court.
But the people blessed with mental illness are all too aware of these rips in continuity. I have experienced them and have come to accept them without questioning “what happened,” as long as I am intact when I end up on the other side.
If I were able to shrink my tonal, I could carry it along with me while I moved along emanations to a new locale because it would be light enough even by your estimations. Even the tonal is all emanations.
