Modalities: The Basic thing

Throughout my training I understood many things. I will try little by little to explain the explicable thing of this training; but it is a little difficult to speak of things that must be lived. Nevertheless, during the first 15 months the training twice consisted of talks one or per week with the Nagual Rafael.

Between first that taught to me and that I realized that was teaching to me, was something very simple and important. The clothes return to you invisible. Using the suitable clothes the doors are opened to you, and using the suitable clothes they are closed to you, which sometimes is more important.

By that stage I had 17 years, and had already created to me enemy by the fact to use certain class of clothes. I must be explained. At the time of which we are speaking, was going Monday through Friday to make weights of daily average hour and, to create force and nonvolume. To make exercise before the 20 is very useful because the body gives of himself, and the result was that regularly hall classes without being broke jackets in the heat of specially muscular.

After one it fights with several old neighbors who saw in a while dice by chance me, all stupid braggart whom it loved to demonstrate his superiority looked for fight to me. After the first six or seven times I understood that although i was calm was something in my attitude that was causing problems. But it belonged to the theater factory, and to some of those of sports and it did not characterize to me relatively by being shut up and of the best ones of the group, if not the best one.

Incidentally, everything what third to sixth semester of preparatory I passed it thinking about a girl and rare time I took notes.

A morning I got to see the Nagual Rafael, and right he was one of those days that the jacket were broken: so it saw me a little while and he said to me: " Surely many they look for fight to you, no "

I answered to him that if and I asked to him as it knew it, which he said me that it was obvious, since went to a state school, had money available and own car without them to have received from my father. So added to my force and relative intelligence, but my friendships with the girls of the three establishments, surely my single existence had to be one mentioned of mother for some.

The reason pretends was not important, but the real one yes: Those that does not have anything to give and single can receive, they create a terrible resentment. Therefore, if I understood that the important thing was the person, would have to make small but important changes.

  • First, to let use the outside necessary car unless, or at least, not to arrive in car.

  • Second, to use comfortable sweater shirts that covered my force

  • Third, to use lenses

    I commented to the Nagual that during my Childhood after the operations of the eyes I used lenses a short period, and that recently had used Salia lenses because sometimes the light of the sun bothered to me. He said to me that he could kill two birds of a shot using lenses of which they are darkened by the sun, and that on the other hand would learn to such see the life in a " different modality " by lenses, and we could begin to work in serious.

    The result was a little idiot, to learn to raise and to lower stairs, to drive and others with lenses were almost impossible. After following its indications I removed to lenses with increases several, and every time cost but work to adapt me to those ways of vision; at the same time I took the surprise when seeing that few people wanted to compete with me from that moment, because no longer they considered a threat me.

    At the same time it stimulated to let to me make weights and take but in serious the studies of Kung Fu.

    The Nagual Rafael had a sense of very strange humor. All Saturdays it in the morning had meeting with him to seven and by that time I began to treat to the other members of its game, with exception of the Nagual Andrés, to which already it had presented/displayed to me before.

    To the one afternoon I was going away to eat the Nagual Andrés and, sometimes with Doņa Geno, sometimes single, sometimes with Rosa Ortiz, but never with Javier M, to whom the Nagual Andrés preferred to avoid. When we went single, he was used to taking to me to do what it called to feel the city, and there began the true training.

    By that time in the theater factory we were going to put the entremeses cervantinos, and to me he was called on to me to be Old the Jealous one of entremés of the same name. Then the Nagual Andrés made an effort in teaching to me to feel and to live and to act as if it had destroyed the leg to me, doing diverse exercises and using a cane, I believe that the brightness in the eyes I perceived a day in which I saw the glances of pity of the families or the girls in a great Mall, when it dragged my unsuitable leg in a young body, when I saw the ridicules of a group of young people who did not realize and never they would occur of the easy thing that it would be to cause that their smile and ridicules swallowed...

    I mentioned that the Nagual Rafael had a sense of strange humor, because when returning every Saturday about two and the average one, when entering my house gave the keys to him of the car, and in return it gave lenses me, and while me he put them, he said " This is a work for Clark Kent!!!!" Which the three we ended dead of laughter.

    This history can seem " boring memories split One " but really it is an excellent example of the controlled folly; on the other hand I understood that the difference between a normal person and a warrior is the direction nonturned aside, the internal law of its being who determines all his actions, and mainly, that a person even stops exist diverse ways to see the world.

    In order to undertake a way a force is necessary, that it is present unless we extinguish it, and the first step to canalize it is through the change of our actions and physical appearances, although single they are means.

    When doing a change in the way to canalize the energy, we happened to another modality, that also causes a change in our ways to receive energy or to perceive it.

    On the other hand, certain modalities are denied to us not to have the energy necessary TO UNTIE the change.

    The example that he used was that if the personal energy were the water, the warrior or brujo was a cistern with pipe and that changing the final way of the pipe we could obtain a washbasin, pond or WC. Throughout the years, the training fell mainly in like using the states of intensified watch (called by Castaneda increased conscience), and in the establishment and knowledge and creation of diverse modalities, of which I will speak ahead but.
