Carlos Castaneda's Magical Passes
The Active Side of Infinity: The View from the Left Body
A Recapitulation and Tensegrity Workshop
Portland, Oregon - May 8, 1999
~
"Personal history must be constantly renewed by telling parents, relatives,
and friends everything one does. On the other hand, for the warrior who
has no personal history, no explanations are needed; nobody is angry or
disillusioned with his acts. And above all, no one pins him down with their
thoughts and expectations." The Wheel of Time
~
Instructors: Renata Murez, Darien Donner, and Miles Reid

-------------
We were also shown a couple of simple passes not on the handout. One
was to be done in the morning.
Pass for Dreaming a New Day
It is accompanied by the intent to recognise the new day as a dream
unfolding now, and also so that we recognise other beings for the mysterious
creatures that they are, seeing that they are a new dream also in the present
moment. The pass starts by making a circle on the crown of the head with
a hand, (doesn't matter which hand) eyes are closed, then visualise a string
which runs from the top of your head into infinity.
Pass for Dispelling Unwanted Thoughts
Place all the fingers of a hand on the midpoint above the brows. Rub
that spot with all of the fingers circling. Visualise all of the unwanted
thoughts being drawn out by pulling on a string that you extend out from
that mid-point between the brows. Once you have done that simply toss the
thoughts away.
