The Secret of the Plumed Serpent: Further Conversations with Carlos Castaneda

This work deals with what happened because I got involved with a group of practitioners of curanderismo and witchcraft. It is not my intention to describe everyday events, what I share here is a selection of extraordinary facts and moments, where I learned or experienced something special.

So, properly speaking, I can say that I am the product of both teachings: that of the group of healers, on the one hand, and that of Carlos Castañeda, on the other; in such a way it is inevitable for me, sometimes to mix both terminologies. I confess, however, that in this work, I made a special effort for the benefit of the readers, in order to make it more coherent with the vocabulary of nagualism used in Carlos' books.

Because of my command, I have been able to corroborate to a great extent many of the challenges left by Carlos. And even though I am still in the collection phase of my past experiences, I have lost my human form and have managed to complete my energetic body. This has opened the doors to an extraordinary world for me.

We have many hidden capacities, which are only waiting to be explored, but for that, we first need to become aware that these possibilities really exist, a means to achieve that goal, is through exposure to power stories, because they help create a precedent within our vision of the world, once we know the feasibility of something, that before we even dare to think about it, then that possibility, becomes real, also for us ...

In the way of knowledge I have experienced things so out of the ordinary that to try to expose them in the form of a plea from a tribune would be to expose myself to ridicule, or perhaps to be cut as a madman and a liar, by those who know nothing about these matters, just as happened repeatedly to Carlos Castañeda.

...This is where the old proverb that says, "you feed an ant but let an elephant pass" applies to people who get caught up in the details of the stories, in the description of the events, and lose the most important thing that is the message.
