people my main quest, my main aberration, which I came to call it

later, was that I wanted to have some rules and regulations about

what the hell it is I had to do. There were none.

 

There is no blueprint. Because each new group has to find their own

way to deal with this idea of trying to break the barriers of

perception. The only way we can break the barriers of perception,

according to Don Juan, is that we need energy.

 

All our energy is already deployed in the world to present the idea

of self- what we are, who we want to be perceived as, how other

people perceive us. So Don Juan says 90% of our energy is deployed

in doing that, and nothing new can come to us. There's nothing

open to us, because no matter how " egoless " we are, or we pretend to

be, or we want to believe we are, we are not.

 

Even let's say " enlightened " people, or gurus that I have met- at

one time Carlos Castaneda was going around trying to meet gurus- and

the ego of those people was so gigantic, in how they wanted to

be perceived in the world . And that's, according to Don Juan,

exactly what kills us.

Nothing is open to us anymore.
