'The OA' Movements are tensegrity ??

Hi folks, did anyone of you watched the excellent Netflix serie “The OA” ? Because I was wondering if the 5 movements that Prairie and her imprisoned friends learned from their dreams, to open a door to another dimension, are from tensegrity ??

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, please do yourself a favor and go watch this amazing and mind-blowing serie … in the mean time, here’s a video where the kids do the movements Prairie taught them for the first time : https://youtu.be/dvZhJNVOW7s

They could be.

That’s what I thought when I first saw them.

There’s no way to know short of snooping around to see if any of them are Castaneda fans.

Unfortunately, most people want a book deal.

And the majority of the rest are looking for attention.

We were trained to be that way by our parents.

Is there any promise in OA?

That kind of thing is all over China, and it hasn’t produced any results.

It’s mostly practiced by old people in the morning, so they can “meet up” and talk about grand kids, and have affairs.

And a new “thing” comes along all the time. Usually someone reads something in a book and pretends to be descendant from that thing.

The only one with that secret knowledge.

But the Chinese know better.

It’s the same as their products. They find something to copy, and they’re in business.

I wish OA would produce results, but you can’t open a portal to another world without moving the assemblage point.

And that takes more effort than the OA people will make. Especially since they know, they just made it up.

As always, thanks for your insight Dan !
The OA is a fictional TV show, so they’re not really “promising” something per se… maybe they’re trying to “sell” us something, though ?

I just think it’s about the power of story-telling since it addresses many interesting topics, like near-death experiences, dreams, energy movements, parallel dimensions, etc. within a very sincere, touching and beautifully written storyline (my opinion)…

To be honest, I don’t recall anything in it regarding the assemblage point… maybe it was insinuated in a subtle way? I really don’t know. Maybe the movements were just “inspired” by tensegrity and not really about tensegrity (if that makes sense?).

To your knowledge (or anyone’s really) do you think we can move the assemblage point with tensegrity or it requires much more than that ?

Thanks again !

Then they have my sincere apology for judging them.

And I mean that.

That’s a lofty goal. Story telling was sort of ripped from our awareness as children. Violently I might add.

As don Juan said, “Sorcerers are story tellers.”

There’s a reason for that!

Can you move the assemblage point with tensegrity?

It always does!

But maybe only an inch or two. If you did a kick-ass job, like Yulia, you might even move it 6 inches.

But it’s not noticeable until around 1 foot.

As demonstrated by Carlos, on the tight fitting outfit (with camel toe) of one of his beautiful younger chacmools.

I’ll never forget that demo!

Wish Cholita would reproduce it for me.

The funny thing is, people later on said, Carlos had gone mad with power, and was openly molesting young women right in front of the class!

Maybe there really are fliers controlling everyone’s mind…

I suspect the tensegrity, in moving it an inch or two, at least loosens it up a bit.

Then Carlos was hoping recap would make it even more flexible, and activate the dreaming attention, so that the practitioners might notice the high it produces. The high is a mark of “heightened awareness”.

But a woman on her period can move it a lot further than those few inches.

And to assemble other worlds, it has to move around 3 feet.

Carlos also showed us that, but I have completely forgotten the key points as it moves. He even elaborated on how to turn into an insect.

At least 50 people saw that. All gone except me and Cholita.

Miles might remember. Maybe he even recreated it on his web page?

I’m forbidden to poke around there.

And I don’t remember the details. Cholita’s too insane to talk about it.

And the private class students who are completely gone, can’t be convinced to at least tell us what they remember.

Ha ha ha ! Your anecdotes are always delightful ! Thanks for sharing them, and thanks for the precisions regarding the moving of the assemblage point… I am very fascinated by the concept…

So what was the point for Carlos to teach people doing tensegrity movements if their efficiency is visible mostly in heightened awareness and why didn’t he focus them on gazing in the darkness technique?

7

I don’t know. But the very first technique Carlos taught me, and many others, was Zuleica’s movement.

And you can go check out that “unbending intent” form, to see that you are indeed supposed to see colors floating around you, scoop them, and put them on your body.

But don’t forget. Carlos didn’t expect to die.

It’s possible he was teaching us in the second attention, and only wanted us to hang out around him, being distracted while he could work on us.

Anyway, focusing on colors in darkness is just something I know produces results.

I’ve done many other paths, and all of them work if you put the effort in.

Recap can lead to all of it.

Dreaming can lead to all of it.

Stalking? Yea, I hate to admit it.

I spent 2 weeks in heightened awareness, as a result of continuous stalking while on a business trip.

So don’t assume I’m saying colors in darkness is the only thing.

It’s just do damned cool!!!

I was doing V spot last night, because I had so much power I could scoop up very bright pieces of the purple, and push them into the V spot.

And I could see them there! They remained!

As they build up, a shield forms in front of you. A rectangular shield.

That’s consistent!

It always happens for me.

What only happens half the time, is some strange being comes up to the window and looks to see what’s going on.

It’s all about how hard you work.

You could work your butt off doing “not doings”.

Seems kind of difficult to me, but according to don Juan, that would work too.

Now, some say, “I do ALL of it!”

Liar.

If you did, you’d be teaching me how to do stuff, and not the other way around.

I look forward to that day!

Not having Cholita around for a while has helped me enormously.

I am so looking forward to holding dreams in my hand tonight!

Not having to post here would be twice as much boost.

I might even get to see “The Wall” in my hand, and learn to do it in daylight.

Once you can do that, you have access to the Akashic record.

I can see why the witches skipped town.

Did Carlos ever mention the Akashic Record? Apologies if you’ve talked about this before. First time I heard Steiner and Carlos together.

9

Not in front of me, that I can recall.

And I was a bit of a grumpy bastard.

I didn’t even like him calling things, “chi”. If he’d said, “Akashic”, I might have hurled after class.

Of course, we’re all using the same body. It’s pathetic to be jealous of other systems (though I often am of Dzoghen).

The way to think about religion is, see what’s the same between them all.

That’s probably true.

What’s not the same is probably a marketing ploy.

Now, although Carlos didn’t mention it, he used it all the time.

I’m staring to learn his wall on the hand technique, and it has infinite possibilities.

And the most wonderful thing is, it’s in one of the Tensegrity long passes they taught at Culver City!

10

Is it “Two Circles of Energy”?

Culver City 2

Or maybe it’s here ? Culver City 1

11

Not the first one.

I got tired of reading the second. I like his cynicism however.

That’s the kind of thing that makes serious people in the long run.

If they don’t give up.

Many a time in private classes, Carlos would show something, and I’d be thinking, “What a load of horseshit!!”

But I figured there was a reason for it anyway.

Little did I know, sorcerers tend to be literal about things.

The “energy boulders” sound fascinating.

Everyone please know, whatever Carlos said it did, it will.

It might do something else too.

But that’s how sorcery goes.

If I’d told Carlos that when I try to see “The Wall” on my hand, a crystal ball materializes,

He’d just have laughed. Might even have said,

Sounds better than “the wall”. Go for it.

Anyone have links to Culver City passes on the net?

Some of them won’t play in this country, such as the one recently posted, promising not to be for money making.

I tried it, and got a copyright violation notice instead.

Oops…

Guess it was for money making after all.

This is the closest I can get:

based on your description here:

I realized, that’s a tensegrity move!

It was taught in Culver City.

You scoop energy from near the floor, and raise the palm up like a mirror, in front of your eyes. At the end, you “pour” whatever was in your hand, over your head.

You move the head and the hands together, smoothly. Carlos knew we needed to do that, at first.

That tricky Carlos!

What else is hidden in the tensegrity moves?

Can I get some help here? We need to find out.

But it would need a bit of visualization to tweak it to your description.

Yea, not that one.

My memory of workshops is rather blurry, since I went to so many.

And since by the time they had the workshop, I was already familiar with the pass.

It could have been at the convention center.
