Toltequity techniques, through "reverie", that is with the energy to literally "revive" events.
It is prudent to point out that part of the confusion Castaneda and those who read his books had, as the books appeared in stores, is that the knowledge that he acquired was developing at the same time, in two realities or fields: the tonal and the nagual.
In the first two Castaneda books, the fantastic approach to his "non-ordinary" consciousness state, did not allow him to realize the huge and wonderful wisdom placed right before his eyes. Immersed in the details of his experiences with the plants of power, some of the Toltequity teachings and principles are mixed and scattered, which provokes much confusion to the reader. It is obvious that Castaneda also suffered from this confusion, and it gradually disappeared as he managed to "sort", through remembered knowledge, the Toltequity techniques and procedures. As Castaneda advances on his work, procedures clarity and simplicity is manifested.
Let us then move forward together, through the work that has caused this work.
The works of nagual Carlos Castaneda currently consists of nine books; these are chronologically: The teachings of don Juan, A separate reality, Trip to Ixtlán, Tales of Power trip, the Second Ring of Power, the Eagle's gift, the Internal Fire, The silent knowledge and the reverie art. These books describe realistically and honestly, the successes and failures, sorrows and joys, doubts and certainties of the apprentice before his teacher and the immeasurable, wonderful and frightening world of the knowledge of another reality.
In each of the books are the basic elements which, concatenated, present us with a first Toltequity approximation.
