Mato-warriors tell us that the only "real" energy humans possess is sexual energy that can be channelled as we choose. Don Juan didn't think sensuality was wrong (either morally or any other way). Yet, he felt Humanity's ignorance about its magical nature is problematic. He also indicates that the glow of parents' innate awareness diminishes as the result of having children as parents bestow their energy. If we aim to be free, unbiased observers and withold judgment, how would you suppose we could gain a more balanced understanding of this glow of awareness? and strengthen it? |
Sorry. Don't agree with that particular take on an individual's energy. Sexual energy is simply one direction personal power can take. It is not the source. I certainly don't have any judgements about sexual energy... like any other power, it's worth is determined by the integrity of the one who uses it.
I also disagree that having children diminishes one's personal power/energy. There is an infinite supply of power that is accessible through the Nagual. Personally, my Path is stronger through my children. As I strive to teach them, I come to greater understanding myself. It's like I tell my clients: "The best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else." I find that if there's a concept I can't explain in words my 10 year old can understand, then I don't understand it well enough myself.
As for increasing understanding, I think that lies in not being attached to the knowing but rather being open to the Path that leads there. As my Benefactor has taught me, "The answer is less important than the question. And the question is less important than that which brings you to ask it."
If we're focused on attaining awareness, we lose the ability to be aware to things we're not focused on - which is, at that point, just about everything.
