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.

[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!

 

[Mari]

Hey to EU-AM group!

The Chapters 9 and 10 are pretty short, with a lot of him describing events rather than teachings, so I would suggest we also read Chapter 11 and see how far we manage to cover.

See you on Sunday!

 

[Saki]

Hello Am-Eu group. The weather forecast for my area says to expect 12 inches of snow starting early Sunday morning so I may not attend. Best wishes

Epistemology & ontology definitions (the study of the knowledge acquisition and the study of what exists (the nature of reality) respectively.

Video model of how & why seasons occur

How we are limited by our perception of reality and how 2D beings (animals) perceive reality from Chapter 6 in The Wave:

...everyone seems to want to know exactly why it is, and how it is, that we can be living in a world of such vastly different perceptions, and that these can have so profound an impact on us that it is possible that we live and move among beings that we cannot perceive.

It is clear that the world does not exist in perspective; yet we are unable to see it in any other way. We see everything only in perspective, i.e. in perceiving it; we distort the world with our eye. And we know that we distort it. We know that it is not as we see it. And mentally we continually correct what the eye sees, substituting the real content for those symbols of things, which our sight shows us. [...]This capacity of introducing corrections in that which the eye sees necessarily implies the possession of concepts, for corrections are made by means of reasoning, which is impossible without concepts. Without this capacity of correcting what is seen by the eye we would see the world quite differently, i.e. much of what actually exists we would see wrongly, much of what actually exists we would not see at all, and we would see a great deal of what, in reality, does not exist at all.
[...]
How does the world appear to animals?

For animals the world is a series of complex moving surfaces. Animals live in a two-dimensional world; their universe has the appearance and properties of a surface. And on this surface there take place a vast number of movements of the most varied and fantastic character.

Why should the world appear as a surface to animals?

First of all, it is because it appears as a surface to us.
But we know that the world is not a surface, whereas animals cannot know it. They accept everything as it appears. They cannot correct what the eye sees, or cannot do so to the same degree as we can.

We can measure in three directions; the quality of our mind enables us to do so. Animals can measure simultaneously only in two directions; they can never measure in three directions at once. This is due to the fact that, having no concepts, they are incapable of keeping in mind the measurements of the first direction while measuring the second and third.

I don’t know about anybody else, but when I had read the above passage after the Cassiopaeans talked to us about fourth density perception, I became acutely aware of the gulf between our perception of our world and what it must actually be.

McGilchrist on Consciousness and Deep Ontology ~ 8 minutes

Given that we recently had a crazy geomagnetic storm a few days back with lots of protons reaching Earth, from Gaby's post on the Sol (Sun) and its phenomena thread:

Fast protons from the Sun have reached Earth. The radiation load on spacecraft has increased dramatically.

Accelerated protons from the Sun arrived en masse in Earth's orbit, creating a “snowstorm” effect in images from space telescopes — one of the most reliable signs of a fast plasma ejection approaching Earth. Each “snowflake” in the image is the result of a fast proton hitting the telescope's detector during image exposure. Long lines are caused by particles hitting the detector at an acute angle and thus illuminating several pixels.

The density of protons with energies above 10 MeV in the vicinity of Earth has increased more than 1,000 times over the past day. The “red level,” above which high-energy particles have a dangerous effect on spacecraft electronics, has now been exceeded by about 50 times and continues to rise, which is only observed when the largest solar flares directly impact Earth. Last year, this parameter reached comparable and higher values only twice: on June 1, 2025, and November 12, 2025, and both times it preceded very strong impacts on Earth and magnetic storms above level G4, which began within a day after the arrival of the particles.

Here is what the Cs have said about protons:
Session 3 August 1996

Q: (L) Well, you once said that the sun is a window, or transition point to another density. Are you saying that the nucleus of an atom is also a window?

A: What we are saying is the sun is a proton and its twin is an electron!

Session 1 March 1997

Q: (A) Is a proton a window?

A: Yes.

Q: (A) OK, so it is. And it's massive, so let me ask. Is photon a window, too?

A: Yes.

Session 15 March 1997

Q: Okay. In the natural state, where do electrons come from?

A: Aether boundary with material continuum.

Q: Where does the proton come from?

A: 7th density.

Q: So, a proton comes from seventh density, but the electron does not.

A: Not mutually exclusive. [...]
A: Gravity center of planet is also "window" to all other density levels and dimensional planes of existence, which is why electrically charged atoms "ground" in order to pass on to other planes through gravity binder.

The Cs quotes on 'mathematics'

Masaru Emoto's water experiments
Water can be programmed from Cs Session 6 February 2016:

Q: (Joe) Can we talk to the water in our bodies since they're 70% water?

A: It has already been propagandized!

Q: (L) So in other words, we have to start fresh with a fresh glass of water and send in the workers to controvert the evil propaganda.

A: Yes

Q: (Galatea) So can we talk to our water and say, "Hello water! Can you detox me even more today?"

A: Yes

Q: (Joe) Does adding salt to water make it extra-specially attentive?

A: Yes

Q: (Galatea) It's like coffee for water!

(L) Wake up your water with a little salt!

A: Yes

Q: (Pierre) It explains homeopathy as well. It works on an information level. You just need a little bit. You don't need it in high concentrations. And they know.

And as humans contain 70% of water, we ourselves can be 'homoepathic medicaments', from Session 26 July 2014:

(dugdeep) Can they give elucidation about the mechanism behind homeopathy?

A: Frequency vibration resonance. Think of yourselves as "homeopathic medicaments" for the planet.

[NOTE: "medicaments" is French for "medicines"]

Q: (Perceval) That's a good description. Homeopathy on a macro scale, with some human beings as the tiny dose of the cure that might resonate with other beings.

(Pierre) So, individuals being on the truth vibration frequency could have a positive influence on the macro-organism that is Planet Earth.

(dugdeep) And why do they get more potent as you dilute them more?

A: Then the resonance spreads more widely in the solution bringing all into proper frequency within the integrity of the substance.

AI summary of George Berkley and Max Tegmark:

Berkeley’s idealism refers to the philosophy of George Berkeley (18th century), who argued that reality is fundamentally mental. His famous idea is often summarized as “to be is to be perceived.” In other words:

• Physical objects don’t exist independently of minds.
• A tree exists because it’s perceived (by us, or ultimately by God).
• Matter isn’t some mind-independent stuff “out there”; it’s a collection of experiences.

Here’s where simulation theory and physics come in.
Some modern physicists and philosophers (like Max Tegmark) speculate that:

• The universe might be a simulation (like a cosmic video game), or
• Reality might be fundamentally mathematical or informational, not made of “solid” matter in the old-fashioned sense.

If that’s true, then:

• What we think of as physical reality could actually be the output of an underlying mental, computational, or abstract structure.
• The vast universe might not be a brute, material thing—it could be something more like a constructed experience.

This lines up surprisingly well with Berkeley’s idea that reality isn’t fundamentally material.
But here’s the kink (the twist):

• For Berkeley, reality exists in minds (especially God’s mind).
• In modern versions, reality might exist in code, math, or a simulation, not necessarily anyone’s conscious mind.

So instead of: “The universe exists because God perceives it”
We get something more like:“The universe exists because it’s being computed, simulated, or instantiated by an underlying abstract system”

Bottom line:
The sentence is saying that modern physics and simulation ideas give new life to Berkeley’s old claim that reality isn’t fundamentally material—but they also radically transform it. Idealism comes back, but wearing a sci-fi, math-heavy, 21st-century outfit.

From Pierre & Laura's Earth Changes and the Human-Cosmic Connection book:

… information makes a causal difference to our world – something that is immediately obvious when we think of human agency. But even at the quantum level, information matters. A wave function is an encapsulation of all that is known about a quantum system. When an observation is made, and that encapsulated knowledge changes, so does the wave function, and hence the subsequent quantum evolution of the system. Moreover, informational structures also play an undeniable causal role in material constellations, as we see in, for example, the physical phenomenon of resonance, or in biological systems such as DNA sequences. What is a gene, after all, but a set of coded instructions for a molecular system to carry out a task? [870]

To explicate the relevance of information theory, Stonier addressed the famous question: ‘If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?’ [871]

For Stonier, to answer this question one must first define the term ‘sound’. If ‘sound’ means ‘vibrations in the air transduced by the human ear’, then a tree falling on a desert island doesn’t produce sound, but if ‘sound’ is defined solely as ‘vibrations in the air’, then a sound is produced by a falling tree whether or not an animal or a human hears it. [872]

Thus, whether an observer is present or not, any change or any event occurring in the universe modifies the state of the universe. More specifically, it alters its fundamental nature, i.e. its information content. This event modifies the universe from a universe with this specific tree standing in it to a universe where this specific tree has fallen.
