The Spot

Carlos Castaneda’s books have conquered the world. Fifty years after the publication of his first book, “The Teachings of Don Juan”, his work is still being translated into other languages, and continues to be found on the shelves of bookstores around the world.. Many of us have dreamed of seeing his story on the big […]

The Tenant

“I have met with the tenant and got distinctly the impression that they were Mexican in origin, at least they were wearing Mexican peasant clothes.”

“Reciprocity“

The function of a nagual is that if you approach them wrongly, with poor intent they will cause you more detriment than you thought possible…it’s the same with witchcraft….in which there is a saying of true witches…either “KILL OR CURE….” Heal or harm… the choice is yours; there is no middle ground, in this instance….. […]

Last Dance

The Warrior’s last stand is an important aspect of Toltec teaching as it not only concerns “living like a warrior” but also the practical application; an alternate means of dying….. Don Juan and his party is said to have “burnt with the fire from within and left the earth”. The Eagle is the force in […]

The Toltec Tollbooth

“My will controls the folly of my life –
And there is nothing I can do to change the folly of my life” ~ Toltec Warrior

The crate

I had not dreamed lucidly for sometime; in fact my dreaming had been scant for a while. I was in an unusual place to sleep – but a place where i had slept before but not many times. I fell quickly asleep, but had a distinct awareness of myself falling into that sleep. The scene […]

A Place Called “Home”

A warrior knows that Obsession is a debilitating condition which ultimately leads to deleterious effects on the luminous being of the warrior man or woman. Obsessional behavior is becoming fixated, on a specific position of assemblage point. If the warrior has been successful in dropping the customary position; and in finding the second attention, obsession […]

Living helter-skelter

“All I can say to you is that a warrior is never available; never is he standing in the road waiting to be clobbered. Thus he cuts to a minimum his chances of the unforeseen. What you call accidents are, most of the time, very easy to avoid, except for fools who are living helter-skelter.” ~ […]

Being inaccessible

“Therein lies the secret of great hunters. To be available and unavailable at the precise turn of the road. You must learn to become deliberately available and unavailable. As your life goes now, you are unwittingly available at all times. To be unavailable does not mean to hide or to be secretive but to be […]

The Eagle’s gift

It is time now to tell you the “rule” as it pertains to the Nagual and his role, exactly as it was told to me. Being involved with the rule may be described as living a myth. In my case, a myth that caught me and made me the Nagual. The power that governs the […]

Losing human form

Our self reflection is literally a mirror through which we observe the soul; while we stare at our own reflection finding wonderment or disappointment with ourselves, the world is there just slightly out of our grasp….. Self reflection is our interpretation of world, it is our description of reality, but seeing the world as through a […]

The Path With Heart

“Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if you feel you should not follow it, you must not stay with it under any conditions. To have such clarity you must lead a disciplined life. Only then will you know that any […]

The way back to serenity

Derangement in my opinion is the worst thing that can be set a warrior. A man of knowledge is only such for a fleeting moment then he must return again to the world of ordinary affairs ~ knowledge is a crashing wave and as it breaks upon the shores of knowing – Only then does […]

Breaking the ties with Perception

In the first place to see beyond the illusion, is to not trust perception. To understand that the world is a description; a form of language created by the thought of self-reflection. And knowing that by ending this internal dialogue, in order to enter into inner silence and create a shift in awareness, that gives […]

Stalking and Dreaming

The most demanding aspect of the teachings of Don Juan Matus, is in regard to the duality of the warrior; how is it possible to reconcile the two halves of our double nature that comprise the whole. Our dual nature is at best both an advantage and something of a burden… it can inhibit our […]
