The apprentice can, when stopping internal dialogue, slightly move the lace point, but if the lace point moves beyond certain limits, men can align other emanations or other worlds, just as real as the usual, but totally different to what we know; this is why the warrior path can be extremely dangerous and even more for those people that move their lace point by extreme means, such as drugs, a big fright or illness.

Toltequity offers a way, an alternative and a challenge. It allows us to leave our boring, comfortable and functional modern life. The emptiness and futility of a consumption life, competitiveness and stress. The mysteries of being and transcending is rediscovered. The world and everyday life become an extraordinary field of battle, where the warrior path serves to polish the spirit and seek freedom, without fear and without ambition.

"He said that to be a unique warrior one has to love freedom, and one must have a disregard, a supreme indifference. He explained that the warrior path is extremely dangerous because it represents the opposite of a modern man situation, as he has left the realm of the unknown and the mystery, and reinstalled in the functional kingdom. He has turned his back to the premonitions world and joy and has welcomed the boredom world.

—Receiving an opportunity to return once again to the world mystery —don Juan continued—, sometimes is too much for warriors, and they succumb; they are assaulted on their path by which I have called the great adventure of the unknown. They forget the search for freedom, they forget to be witnesses without prejudice. And with a blind joy, they sink into the unknown..." C.C.

GREAT EMANTION BANDS

The Eagle emanations are arranged in clusters that the Toltecs called "big emanations bands", and there is an infinite number of bands. However, the Toltec discovered that on Earth there are only 48 bands.

Organic life is just one of those bands, structures, or clusters. Of all the bands, there are 40 that do not produce consciousness, only organization; from the remaining seven produce a “limited” conscience and only the eighth produces a large amount of consciousness; in the human being.

The Toltec, symbolically, said that the Eagle fed on human beings conscience; his originated that the "The Fifth Sun" fed from hearts, as can be seen in the Aztec calendar monolith, where the Sun is symbolized in the central part and on the sides two claws have two hearts trapped.

The world that our lace point aligns for our "normal" perception is composed of two bands, one organic and the other only containing structure.

As stated, the world is composed of 48 bands and we only perceive two; the remaining 46 are not in our everyday world.

Don Juan asserts that ancient seers discovered that large trees have their lace points low, for which reason, they are more likely to perceive the inorganic consciousness. Some indigenous peoples share in their origin
