We will start Laura's Substack articles, starting from the most recent and working our way back for our next workshop on Saturday at 7pm Sydney ADEST time (GMT+11). I will let you know if I will be attending the Lord of the Rings extended cut showing at the movies for the 25th anniversary.

See you all then!

Session 3 May 1997, on pity

Q: One of the things I have learned is that these individuals seem to attach via some sort of psychic hook that enters through our reactions of pity. Can you comment on the nature of pity?

A: Pity those who pity.

Q: But, the ones who are being pitied, who generate sensations of pity, do not really pity anybody but themselves.

A: Yes...?

Q: Then, is it true as my son said, when you give pity, when you send love and light to those in darkness, or those who complain and want to be "saved" without effort on their own part, when you are kind in the face of abuse and manipulation, that you essentially are giving power to their further disintegration, or contraction into self-ishness? That you are powering their descent into STS?

A: You know the answer!

Q: Yes. I have seen it over and over again. Were the individuals in our lives selected for the extremely subtle nature of their abilities to evoke pity, or were we programmed to respond to pity so that we were blind to something that was obvious to other people?

A: Neither. You were selected to interact with those who would trigger a hypnotic response that would ultimately lead to a drain of energy.

Cs mentions of 'forgiveness'

How language changes the way we think- here is an example of Gen Alpha lingo:

[Laurs]

Thank you all for an interesting discussion during yesterday's EU-AM workshop! We covered Chapters 7 and 8 of Carlos Castaneda's The Fire From Within, dealing with the Assemblage Point. Here is the video.

We also watched this youtube video about the assemblage point, and we talked about what the C's had to say about the 'Eagle's emanations' in the session of 12th December 1995:

Q: (L) Carlos Castaneda talks about the "Eagle's emanations," the Eagle being, I suppose, Prime Creator that emanates down through all the densities, and that the Nagual who can "see," sees the Eagle as a large black and white object. Are they seeing the source, or are they seeing something on just another density?
A: Source? There is no such thing.
Q: (L) You mean there is no Prime Creator, no origin or source of our existence?
A: You are Prime Creator.
Q: (L) But that is so esoteric... I am talking about...
A: The point is: stop filling your consciousness with monotheistic philosophies planted long ago
to imprison your being. Can't you see it by now, after all you have learned, that there is no
source, there is no leader, there is no basis, there is no overseer, etc... You literally possess,
within your consciousness profile, all the power that exists within all of creation!?! You absolutely
have all that exists, ever has, or ever will, contained within your mind. All you have to do is learn
how to use it, and at that moment, you will literally, literally, be all that is, was, and ever will
be!!!!!!!!
Q: (L) That is all fine and dandy and sounds wonderful, except for one little item. You also say
that the monotheistic concepts were IMPOSED on us to prevent us from knowing this. So, if we
are all that is, how can something exist that can impose something so unpleasant on us?
A: Choices follow desire based imbalances.

In the context of Chapter 8 (when Castaneda experienced melancholy) we discussed negative emotions, and that we can just acknowledge those when we experience them, but not feed them, to master them so to say. The C’s said that if you choose, you may only have positive emotions in the session of 26 november 1994. They also said in the session of 31st May 1995 that emotions involve wishful thinking, and in the session of 28th April 1996, they said that emotions are chemicals only. In the session of 7 October 1997, they said that the emotions can not be gotten rid of. Emotions must be controlled. Emotion is necessary for 3rd density existence. It can be an assistance, or it can be a hindrance. Allow it to be an assistant, and you can accomplish a great deal. Allow it to be a hindrance, and you will not see what is there to be seen.

Don Juan repeatedly emphasizes that stopping the internal dialogue is the foundation of all seers' work. In this respect we discussed whether this would be valid only for souled beings, as per the session of 6th July 2024, in which the C’s said that people who do not experience inner speech are OP’s.

For next Sunday's workshop, we will cover Chapters 9 and 10. Have a good week everyone!
