These are produced by eagle emanations and have a double purpose: on the one hand they sustain life, consciousness, the execution and purpose, and on the other hand, relate to destruction and death.

The tumbling or rolling force is the means by which the Eagle distributes life and consciousness, but in the same way, produces death. The force has two complementing aspects.

The human energy cocoon has a very fragile "membrane". When the cocoon fractures by the lace point movement, produced by trauma or a deadly disease, the tumbler, which is permanently hitting us to give us life, enters via de fracture, and fills the cocoon, breaking it completely and causing death.

The ancient Toltec and seers, upon discovering this force and its results, tried to unravel its secrets, but failed to become invulnerable and immortal. The human being cocoon is just an emanations "container", which wears out and, therefore, cannot remain eternally; it is believed to have been a mistake what forced the ancient Toltec to sustain life at any price, and somehow they did, but not as human beings.

New seers retook this failure, and with new experiences and knowledge, through the intent mastery (at the peak of Don Juan teachings), the warrior opens his cocoon at will and the strength of the Eagle emanations flood him, causing the total and instantaneous warrior disintegration, upon consuming the inner fire, receives "The Eagle gift" and total freedom.

"Due to his activities, at a given time, the warrior lace points shift left. It is a permanent shift, resulting in an exceptional indifference sense, control or even abandonment. This shift implies a new emanations alignment, and is the beginning of a series of major changes. Very appropriately, viewers call this initial change losing the human form, because the lace point inexorable movement, moves away from its original position, results in the irreversible loss of our affiliation with the force that makes us people...

—The rolling force is the means through which the Eagle distributes life and conscience —he said—. But it is also the force that, let us say, collects rent. Makes all living beings die..." C.C.

DEATH CHALENGERS

Don Juan speaks of the immortality search which led the first Toltec seers to aberration situations. While they could not keep their cocoon from dying, they did seek to remain "alive" at any price. Don Juan considers that price was very high; they did not die, but they ceased being human. This is why archaeological sites are dangerous, because the ancient Toltec seers maintain there a malignant presence.

The ancient seers discovered a way to get energy from the Earth was getting buried, the more energy needed the more time they remained buried.

Don Juan always insisted that a warrior must live with death consciousness and the corresponding detachment; from there the warrior extracts courage to
