I have to make a phone call to intent. Some people that began the path with me have gone away. I will not ever question their decision. The nagual was with a ten year old girl, and she separated herself from him. He did not question her decision, and he said it was final. She would never get another chance.

At the seminar in which he told this he also said that, perhaps, if everyone gave their best, she might feel compelled to come back. And she did, in the middle of the event. They all applauded.

I don't know if this is by far the same, and I don't care. I am paying a debt to the human spirit. I have to make a phone call because intent wishes me to do so. There is nothing personal here, although I would die for them all.

Perhaps if everyone on IML helps me at wishing them, as to anyone else that has ever been on this path, the best, they will hear the silent voice of the spirit in their dreams. Perhaps if you join me at intending the best for them even if you don't know them, asking for nothing in return, things will happen. I assure you: they are valiant, beautiful beings.

Intent is always calling us, but we seldom pick up the phone. I did, two nights ago. I had a fever and, instead of fighting it, decided to let my perception go to its full reach.

Don Juan put this riddle forth. Every one has to do it in order to be sure of his or her place in this mysterious, unfathomable world. Once you are able to solve it, you will be a sorcerer:

You can't change your present situation at all. And you can change anything whatsoever.

The riddle is not solved with words, but rather with a corporeal feeling that encompasses the totality of your being. It is solved when you find a new tool for relating to the world. This tool is your volition.

The warrior's path is absolutely essential. But the bet of the new nagual, I think, is upon a lateral gateway. Not everyone must or can enter it directly, shamanistically.

The lateral gateway is dual: Tensegrity and Recapitulation. It is not talking, not discussing Dreaming, not thinking. It is doing. Action.

How? As best as you can, with whatever you have got, when and where you have got it. Simplicity.

Freedom could be one pass: the one you feel like doing, when you feel like doing it. As best as you can do it. And then, to walk away as if you had done nothing.

To me, that's an impeccable pass.

                                                *                         *                         *
When you solve the riddle, you'll laugh. Inevitably, you'll think: "So simple! So, so simple..." Fear will be gone. You will fear nothing. You'll be riding the powerful horse of Dreaming facing front, not backwards. You'll face time as it comes towards you, not as it goes away from you. Everything will be new! Everything an exciting challenge! No more boring blessings or painful curses. Everything will be the same. And, paradoxically, nothing will be as thrilling as this.

Sorcery is absorbing eternity. We are transparent kites of light, shooting out at the immense sea that calls for our awakening.

Blow the horn of freedom.

Yours,

Enrique.
