Wisdom From Within

GAMMADIAN'S STORY OF RECAPITULATION

4/22/2015

 
I like to share a story with you about recapitulation and dreaming. After meeting and becoming the Energy Body, I began to take a pivotal role in the Castaneda community, putting on workshops with the apprentices of Carlos Castaneda and other bodies and my own workshops all over the world on various topics to do with Toltec Knowledge. Of these the recapitulation retreats became my favourite because of an incredible experience I had.
A large amount of my time was devoted both to Sorcery Passes, Stalking and Dreaming. Still though in my stalking of my childhood I was only finding acrimonious scenes. Me being beaten for what I'd done or hadn't done. I'd constantly run away all my life but at 16 left for good.

I decided to gather a weekly group and make recapitulation our endeavour. Over and over I pulled 
out incidents firstly that I knew about and then many that had remained hidden to me because of my sheer childhood terror. I breathed through these as Carlos had taught. I found that I was developing a fluidity detachment and often indifference to situations that would have once riled me.
However I was still inundated by heavy experiences in my explorations. My dreaming at this time was phenomenal. 

Picture
I was lucid all night and went through several of the gates until spending my time in the world of the inorganic beings where I was fascinated. I visited many other worlds and had endless adventures in time and space. 

One night I had been in the world of the dead. It was like a biblical vision of purgatory or similar. People seemed crazed and lost, near zombie-like endlessly repeating useless words or actions. To my horror I found my father, I awoke him from his stupor. 
He asked me what was happening, he said "I am ill, something has happened. He'd actually died in a lot of pain from a stroke.. I told him who I was and that he was dead and that he should head toward a thin band of light on the horizon above. I told him I would return.
I also went speedily towards like dawn's light. It was some kind of heaven, but I wasn't taking much notice as I wanted to find my mother. I finally came out into this beautiful serene place. My mother was lying there with her eyes closed, bathed in a luminescence.

She looked so at peace, but I was so pissed at her. I asked her why I'd had to spend so much of my childhood black and blue just because I was energetic and wild? "What made you think you had the right to beat me, often for things my sisters did?" She became awake but had no concern for my feelings.
I became highly irate and changed into a bear. I roared at her. I grabbed her from her repose and tore at her body. I ripped her apart. Yet she reformed into her peaceful repose. Many times I roared and clawed until she was no more but I couldn't destroy her.

She said to me "your concerns are no longer mine, I have made my peace with my actions. I recommend you do the same thing."

"Maybe you have no Earthly concerns but your husband who you swore undying love for is in a terrible state in a realm below. I am not sure how to bring him here." I said.

"It will be done, together we will bring him. Return to where he is and escort him I will lend assistance."
I returned willing myself to find him in that vastly unpleasant realm. My father had actually made some progress he was nearer and his zombie like state seemed to have rescinded, even more. I told him I had found his wife and that we were going there.

After some while I brought him to the realm of my mother. I was fatigued and I left them to their reunion, as the dream dissolved. 

I was a little bemused at both finding my parents and to find them in realms that didn't reflect their beliefs nor mine either. Also I couldn't believe I had endlessly attacked my mother. Most of all though I was amazed that my mother had ended up in a heaven, and I had to rethink my judgements of her.

We continued with regular recapitulations, however the current had changed. There was a new lightness. 

Picture
Now I started to remember all the good times we had together. The times she pulled me out of school, to spend the day on the beach, swimming, sun bathing, drinking wine or beer. The way she looked after us, always baked our bread and cakes, cut our hair, made our clothes and always sang when happy. Most of all though I was able to remember how she read to me every night and the delight she had given me in literature. 
I suddenly saw how my predilections had been driven by an eclectic mix of writings, fairy tales from all over Europe, Celtic ballads and tales, classical and Sufi poets, Hiawatha about the American Indians, the Psalms of David and the words of Solomon, to mention a few.

So many fine memories long kept at bay by my hurts were released. 

Instead of my recapitulation being an arduous task, I was recapitulating these incredible beings from my life that had been disguised by the roles I had hastily assigned them out of protection.

​I saw the play of intents and the thread of energy that I had followed  throughout my life
 and gave thanks for all the beings that had assisted me. My world had irrevocably changed. 
From this time I set my intent to encourage as many people as possible to enter into this journey of recapitulation, to discover the wonder of their life. 


Since in dreaming I have made my peace with and expressed my gratitude to my parents.



RECAPITULATION

4/12/2015

 
What is recapitulation? What are the benefits of practising it? Does it have any relevancy in the 21st century? These are amongst the questions we get asked when we introduce people to this practice.

Picture
The recapitulation is a technique discovered by the sorcerers of ancient Mexico, to view and relive all the experiences of their lives, to achieve two transformational and pragmatic goals.

Firstly, to become detached and light about their lives, so that they would not lose their individual awareness at death and secondly, to gain perceptual fluidity.

These men saw that at death a force that had lent awareness retrieved it and that men lost their individual awareness in the process. They also saw that this force didn't require the life force of the individual, but his life experience. In man these two had become so entwined that by default man lost both. 

By the practice of the recapitulation these sorcerers were able to separate the two (life force Vs life experience) and as it were, offer to this force a facsimile of their life experience whilst retaining their life force and awareness. 

The technique used was simplicity itself. A list was made of all the people in their lives and the interactions with them. 
Taking the most recent of incidents, a breath is employed that fans the head from side to side. It is a smooth and gentle breath, inhaling from one shoulder to the other as the head turns, with an intent to scan the experience and recall our energy caught in the scene. Then fanning the other way with an exhalation and letting go of all the energy that was mixed in the interaction. 
Breath was considered a magical element in this process that fulfilled their intent to return this force what it required.
Carlos Castaneda who introduced this technique said 27 generations had followed this technique and had been transformed at death into a spirit being. The reaction of his students was that though the rewards seemed great, this task was too laborious and unwieldy and near impossible to execute.

His reply was that if they felt they were unable to do a perfect recapitulation then they should do a shitty one. Those that attempted this practice found immediate and accumulative benefit.

An immediate realisation was the repetitive habitual way they lived their lives that robbed them of the immediacy it had once had, giving them a new-found zest for life. The recapitulation opened a pragmatic way of thinking and a more strategic approach to living life. Old habits disappeared and seemed irrelevant.
Picture

Energy levels increased and chronic patterns of thought that resulted in mental and physical ailments and pain, gave way to increased health. New perspectives and possibilities opened up. Many practitioners started new courses of study, work and hobbies.
Ena and Gammadian have used this practice to great effect in their lives. ​
The course will go deeper into all the mechanics of the practice. 
Ena and Gammadian guide you in simple movement sequences to gather energy for the recapitulation and then take you step by step through the process of reclaiming your energy from your life experiences with your past lovers and parents.
Modern students of this practice have worked out efficient and effective ways of tackling this process. These techniques will be available to you. ​

You will engage with those aspects of your life that are relevant to you and your concerns, family, relationships, work and prosperity etc. 

Picture
An online course done in your own time can restore your vitality and well-being and give you simple practices to use in your daily life. Towards the end of the course you will look at ways of applying your new-found energy and perspective, allowing you to find specific steps to re-dream and redirect your life.

Each day you will enter into meditative silence. We have found that throughout the weeks even novices at meditation are able to easily relax into a deep harmony with themselves. 

Wouldn't you love to be empowered with energy and pragmatic tools to navigate your life and live it how you'd like to? 
Even a partial review of your life will show you a bigger picture, help you let go and both immerse yourself in the now and look forward with a clearer vision.
For me in these online courses I find freshness, verve, a new commitment and focus to those aspects of my life I would love to expand and enhance. 
Long standing perceived obstacles seem to melt away and give me the freedom to act. 
I become less careless and more carefree about my life.

We invite you to share in this online course and deepen your experience of who you are and how you  want to live. 



“To seek freedom is the only driving force I know. Freedom to fly off into that infinity out there. Freedom to dissolve; to lift off; to be like the flame of a candle, which, in spite of being up against the light of a billion stars, remains intact, because it never pretended to be more than what it is: a mere candle.”                             Carlos Castaneda

WE ARE DREAMERS IN THE NOW

4/2/2015

 
Being a vivid lucid dreamer by nature, Gammadian often receives powerful messages in his dreams. This is one such dream, which we would like to share with the world so it may inspire all of us on our quest for freedom.

Picture
‘’I was walking along the road in Kensington, it was evening yet I had no sense of continuity. I had so much energy and clarity; I knew I was dreaming, not sure whether I was awake or asleep.
I bounded up from the payment in a leap. I was flying looking down at London. I intended to meet up with other dreamers, I could feel then see Fabrice, he was at a console doing something, looking at a screen.

At this point someone jumped me, a martial artist dreamer and gymnast. I have dreamed with him before. 
I always enjoy our interaction. The sheer exuberance of him delights. he is an inorganic being, but was once human himself. He is great for guiding me to places and events. Time travel is really easy with this being.
At one point he threw me, jumped over me, grabbed my feet and pulled me. I was traveling really fast and nearly lost consciousness. I was in an underground cave yet it was warm and comfortable. There was gentle effulgence there, so it wasn’t totally dark.
A voice started talking to me. A very poetic and profound voice. I would like to explore what it said by writing. I didn’t waste energy, wondering what it was or where it came from. I just listened, I was spellbound.

The voice said “You are a virus, the ultimate virus, an artist of change. You are becoming, accept and allow this power. You are the dreamer of your reality. Nothing that you see has not been created by you.
You are dreaming by default now, you are a fledgling. Intend your reality. Choose what you perceive. Accept, act and flow, in your power.
You humans though are a strange mixture of the finite and infinite, the personal and impersonal, the concrete and the abstract, you would say inorganic and organic.
Picture

This mixture of the abstract and the concrete is an exploitable condition for you. Inner silence has brought you to into the now, a meeting point, here arises awe at the majesty of being. You are suffused in and pervaded by your own nature. The all, has found unique expression in you. Acquiesce to that abstract imperative and use the concrete to express it, whilst you have this form. With intent, dream, to utilize any form or formlessness, you perceive yourself as, in a spirit of acquiescence to being.
We are dreamers of our own reality. There is nothing that we experience that is not created by us. We are expansive, we are unimaginable. When we take responsibility for our creation then, we become able to command it.
Command the energies you perceive around you. Command fear; tell it, ‘’I was not created for you, but you for me. You are my servant. Be alert and available, warn me when it is appropriate, otherwise just be ready.’’

Any powers that you recognise command them similarly. What human-kind call gods and demons are there for your command. You have the power to dream new worlds, exercise and exploit this power and truly enjoy it.
This is your time, celebrate it moment by moment, this is how the moments roll on as your dream, they gather momentum and volition. Intend your dream.
You are dreamers in the now, your experience of silence and exultation is a seed. Let go of all personal concern. Do not care for results, act because you are inspired and your doing is as nothing.
Go beyond all descriptions. Cast out all conceptions and dream. Reside in your heart, a place of rest and passion. Silence and acceptance embrace you. Allow the opening.
See the play of colours on the screen of your imagination, this is your play. Everything is fluid and malleable. If you find resistance, withdraw and find another way. There is a way to all things and you will be shown everything you need, to facilitate you.
Do not worry, obsess or judge yourselves. Relax - the joy you feel is the joy of every cell as it awakens to discovery. Go deep inside find your intents and flourish.’’

As the voice finished. I set my intent to remember it. I have lost some of the command, poetry and majesty of the voice in my writing, but you get the drift. I saw the dream withdrawing from me.’’
