I Didn't Get It!
Duh, huh what? I just keep reading but failed to understand what this book was about. Maybe because I'm a CPA it went over my head. Would someone please explain this book to me. Thanks! Also, I've never seen an alien or been taken aboard a spaceship. I never have any fun.
warrior
It is fantastic to see successful warriors who have the power of intent in what they do. at least it shows that there is still a chance for the human beings to become what they have always wanted to be in their dreams.
Best pick from Castaneda's crew
First I must say that I consider these books (from Castaneda, Donner-Grau, Abelar etc) fiction. However by that I am not saying that the practices don't work -- they definitely do. For more information on refer to the site sustainedaction.org.
This book gives an different approach from that of Carlos Castaneda. Taisha does no lucid dreaming, but other exercises -- stalking, recapitulation, Tensegrity, kung Fu. The book contains good descriptions of some exercises, including the best description on recapitualation. The reader should be warned that there is one exercise (Small Heavenly Circulation, the one where Taisha is to move energy along the midline of her body from her vagina, over her back, her head and further down to her vagina again), that is potentially dangerous if practiced as casually as presented.
What I liked especially was that Taisha does not disdain practices like kungfu or meditation as strongly as Castaneda. This is a point where Castaneda was definitely lying, considering he practiced kungfu for over 10 years.
The book lacks the aphorisms and anecdotes of Carlos's books. The special type of humor familiar to reader of CC is also present in an inferor way. At the moment, however this is my favorite of all the "Ancient Mexican Shamanism, since 1950" books.
