    OF

    Carlos Castaneda’s
    TENSEGRITY
    at Karma Ling

    According to the teachings of Don Juan, «the recapitulation was a technique discovered by the sorcerers of ancient Mexico and used by every shaman-practitioner from then on to view and relive all the experiences of their lives in order to achieve two transcental goals : one, the abstract goal of fulfilling a universal code that demands that awareness be relinquished at the moment of death ; and two, the extremely pragmatic goal of of acquiring perceptual fluidity.» Carlos Castaneda, Magical Passes.

    In a natural setting bathed in silence, we invite you to practice Magical Passes and other techniques taught to us by the apprentices of Carlos Castaneda, Florinda Donner-Grau, Taisha Abelar and Carol Tiggs with the intent to recapitulate our experiences with the opposite sex, going back to our fathers for women and our mothers for men, so as to allow us as beings who can feel, to polish our links to our energy bodies, to what surrounds us, to others.

    CARLOS CASTANEDA´S TENSEGRITY

    Accumulating Inner Silence

    INTENSIVE TENSEGRITY PRACTICE

    Borovets, Rila Mountain, BULGARIA

    30-31 August 2008

    What is at work during inner silence is another faculty that man has, the faculty that makes him a magical being. Following the rationales of the sorcerers of ancient Mexico, don Juan stated categorically that inner silence was accrued, accumulated. In my case, he struggled to guide me to construct a core of inner silence in myself, and then add to it, second by second, on every occasion I practiced it. He explained that the sorcerers of ancient Mexico discovered that each individual had a different threshold of inner silence in terms of time, meaning that inner silence must be kept by each one of us for the length of time of our specific threshold before it can work.
    ~ Don Juan Matus, The Active Side of Infinity
