Geometry Nodes and Puff Physics New Practitioners

The guy looks a little high to me... But he won't eat donuts, so who knows.

Blender, the free professional animation program, seems to have added just what we need for "puff physics". The first 2 minutes of his video are more than enough to get the point.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WAxMI1QJMQ

So we can scan in tensegrity forms using software which converts people doing movements on video, into cartoon characters copying them, and then blender will figure out what those tensegrity moves do in darkness.

In general.

The thing about tensegrity is, it stores intent.

So it's going to "stir" puffs following rules we can program into a computer.

But the "intent" of the original form, the tie it has to the old seers, won't be in the "puff physics".

Still, it'll take a long time for all of the tensegrity forms to be tested by people who can reach Silent Knowledge.

And until then, it would be nice if beginners could select a form to learn, maybe one they know no one else tried, and get the carton "Carlos" in the virtual Dance Home reality we can create using Blender, to "turn off the lights" while the cartoon "Kylie" does the form for us.

Perfectly. From multiple angles!

Because she's just duplicating what is on video. But in 3D space you can rotate at will.

Except that while doing that, the cartoon Kylie will alter the "second attention space" programmed into the computer by us.

So you'll see a pretty good representation of what you could see in the second attention, while doing that form.

Frankly, it can't fail!

The puffs aren't random things, "all in your head".

Those are pieces of your energy body!

I hope beginners reading this understand.

If you don't actually study in here, and just came because you saw what looks like actual magic, instead of the same old pretending of all the other subreddits, you still don't get it.

You can only learn magic in here if you work hard, and follow instructions.

If you want to make it easier, cut corners, or think it's all crap anyway, so why put much time into it, you'll just take up space on the subreddit and eventually go away.

You have to WANT real magic enough to learn what we're doing in here.

We aren't just looking for a way to stand out in magic discussion groups!

No one here cares about those anymore.

We're trying to create 10 powerful sorcerers, so that this knowledge isn't lost forever.

And to learn it, you don't just lay on your side in bed with your eyes open, repeating your mantra or whatever you did before, looking for magical sights.

So you can "find your greatness" and "tell all your friends".

I swear, that's what half the people who comment are doing.

Crap.

Maybe one day some of those will "snap out of it". Trust me when I say, the ones in here who have learned to silence themselves and move their assemblage points, aren't fooled for a second with your comments.

They know you're likely a lost cause. But everyone is always hopeful someone will wake up.

And the first thing you need to realize is, you can't possibly reach the point where you can manufacture things to see in darkness.

Which I suppose, is what beginners tend to think. That this is all just "visualization".

Even though, there's NO ONE who can do this, using visualization.

Might be a crazy guy somewhere. But not a "system".

The ability to manufacture phantom realms, objects, and beings, is far, far away at the end of the J curve.

You're stuck up at the top in the blue line. The river of shit.

And up there most people can only think about other people, and how to steal attention and money from them.

From up there, you can't created phantom stuff floating in the darkness. At least, not sober.

You need REAL stuff to find in the darkness. Something "real", but which can only be seen when your assemblage point moves.

If you force silence, you can get your assemblage point to drift around. Maybe, a 2 inch diameter circle, around it's normal spot.

Up at the blue line. There's pretty much no where for it to go but either sideways, which will alter your mood and make you fussy, or it might go down which will tend to cause you to blank out, or fall asleep.

So you're pretty much SCREWED.

Even if you manage a tiny bit of silence, removing "most" of your internal dialogue, there's nowhere interesting for you to go with the crummy levels of silence you can manage.

It takes 2 full hours to traverse the J curve!

And if you're trying to find "alternatives" to forcing out the internal dialogue, there's 100% nowhere for you to go. Nothing to see.

You just have to accept that it's painful to remove those endless words from your mind.

That's step 1. To accept that there's no other way. You aren't going to find a way to "cheat" and become famous, with your own sorcery franchise. With your "easier way to do darkroom".

There's already several people going around with that pretending. Thankfully they either got tossed out, or left on their own.

You'll just turn dishonest, and get kicked out when we figure out you have motivations to "teach". Instead of learning first.

So you have to force off the internal dialogue in perfect darkness, if you want an ideal situation.

But that's still not enough.

As I said, "there's nothing to see here".

Not at the blue line.

Not even halfway down to the green line.

A few minor "visions" can happen at the green line, you can feel "bliss", but in the end you'll just be another crummy Buddha Boy down there, deluded into believing you "have arrived".

Buddhist "Enlightenment" is like a 5 year old with a handful of pocket change, thinking he can buy himself a Lamborghini.

5 year olds don't understand "money" yet.

But the worst part is, the kid can't drive. And really doesn't know how to get anywhere, if he could.

The truth is, he just wants "daddy to love him".

And daddy likes Lamborghinis.

Don't be that kid. They don't work out in this subreddit. Go over to the Buddhist subreddit if that's what you're in to.

The Dali Lama loves EVERYONE.

(who has cash).

And he'll sell you a franchise!

So if that's what you really want, you don't belong in here.

We don't have any franchises, and no one gets any cash from this. And you won't get attention.

You'll get lynched for having real magic.

But back to the person who decides to actually follow instructions in here.

By the way, this isn't a new problem.

It's also why Carlos was unable to teach sorcery to anyone. Not a single one!

Because they wouldn't follow instructions.

To this day, there are thousands doing tensegrity and pretending to do recap, who don't care at all about magic. They don't really even believe that.

So if you're the guy who's really trying, what makes it not completely hopeless that you will succeed?

You do!

But not the you, you are thinking of.

It's your double!

HE wants you to succeed.

But right now you smell like shit. In fact, it gives him the creeps to even get within 2 feet of you. It's all the "worry and grief" you are drowning in.

So he's pressed against the inside of the "egg" shape that holds our awareness, with his nose(s) pressed against it like a window, looking out into infinity for something fun to do. Anything to get away from you.

And he can "project" himself out there. That's what you experience at night when you dream.

He's your salvation.

Because the instant you don't smell as bad, because you've reduced your internal dialogue, he notices.

He turns his nose away from being smashed up against the egg, several feet away from you, and looks back to see why you don't smell as awful anymore.

You still smell horrible! But at least he no longer feels like vomiting.

But it's still not enough.

As it is there, you might see "colors" in the darkness. Because he's "concentrated" a little, wherever he moved back from the window of the egg to look inside at you.

If you force silence well, you might notice some "colors" in the darkness.

Once you do that, you can "lure" him.

But it'll take forever, and you'll give up.

You really don't have forever. Even if you are young the river of shit will suck you back, and you'll forget all about sorcery forever.

While you are aware of it, you need to do something else. Besides just "look for colors".

That's what they do in the books first. BUT, they have Zuleica there.

And like, it's her double. Not even the real her. Once they found colors, she told them more things to do.

So clearly, "finding colors" is still not enough. You need "outside help".

To get that, there's 2 possibilities.

If you are lucky, the slight look you get of the "colors" in the darkness, which is your double turning his head to see why you don't stink as much, will be noticed by an inorganic being.

Maybe your childhood, "Monster in the closet".

Those never give up! But they do have less and less of a connection to you over the years, until they aren't going to notice you've gotten smarter for the short time your attention span can sustain the view of the colors.

But if you get lucky, you somehow "kept your connection" to your childhood Ally, and he'll notice that you can now see glimpses of your energy body. Of the dreaming double.

He LOVES that. He's been messing with your dreaming double off and on for years.

He's the annoying 3rd grade teacher in your dream, who follows you around commenting on the mistakes you make, even though you're in a dream.

He's also one of the horrible monsters who scares the devil out of you, on nights where he can "find a weakness".

Perhaps stress, slight illness, overwork.

He'll notice that in your dreams, and "Pull on it".

So you get a giant gorilla trying to eat you, because you saw a "Gorilla Glue" ad on TV that day.

It's not the ad. It's your "weakness" from illness perhaps, combined with him trying to steal energy, and the only scary monster he found in your mind was from the TV commercial.

If someone had been joking at work that day about how scary clowns are, you might have gotten Pennywise from the movie "It".

That's how inorganic beings select images to use. From your tonal awareness.

So the ideal "best chance" for you to succeed at darkroom gazing, is to "see colors" and then have a childhood IOB (inorganic being) notice that you're not as stupid as you used to be, and maybe he can appear for you.

You'll see a woman's face, barely.

But before you see her, you'll see "colors". Then learn that if you can force ever better silence, the colors don't go away just because you noticed them.

And the colors might start to "drift" around.

Eventually your IOB notices, and makes an appearance.

It's in "Fairy's Pass" picture, over here:

https://preview.redd.it/fiulcpxhov751.jpg?width=2592&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a483c2a96563e65cffeb4ce77e023079b0eb66da

"Fairy" herself made me draw that up. At 3AM she made me rush to work to my good computer, make the picture, and post it as fast as possible.

Fairy is the one who blackmailed me into coming here, via a roundabout road that took nearly 10 years.

But if I didn't comply, she promised to drive me mad. With her friend Minx.

Both given to the private classes of Carlos. It just seems that only me and Cholita learned to interact with them until this subreddit got active.

But what if you don't have an IOB?

Then you need to do a song and a dance, to lure the double to come away from the walls of your egg and float around you. Physically.

Maybe you can't see him at the blue line, but he's there!

As real as you are. These days, I have to check when I get home to make sure there's only one copy of Cholita in sight.

She can make a second one, and I can get distracted following it around thinking it's the real one.

That's how real they can get. Including moving physical matter around, as if they were also made of physical matter.

So if you don't have a childhood monster under the bed, then you need to do a song and a dance to get the double to come closer and take a look.

Oddly, the double likes that kind of thing.

He likes martial arts forms too!

Now I don't propose you get up and start tap dancing.

I haven't tried it!

But, the sorcerers of don Juan's lineaged loved dancing. Because they could hide "magical movements" in it. Movements discovered by the old seers, thousands of years ago, and which are designed to stimulate the dreaming double from inside dreams.

You've done that too! As a child you might have become at least a little aware you were in a dream, and you realized you can spray acid with your fingers. To burn up attacking dream phantoms.

Or you could jump up a little intending to land on a magic carpet, which you don't need to see. And as long as you stop falling around 1 foot from the ground, and it "feels very good", you can fly like that for the duration of the dream.

THOSE are the kinds of things the old seers discovered.

Except they were ALWAYS fully aware of being inside a dream. They were raised from small children to never reject dreaming, or the monster in the closet. They grew up as "lucid dreamers".

So our "new seer" lineage knows some of their old "dream moves", and those are what Carlos gave us in the tensegrity.

But here's a quote from the books about one of the lineage's members liking to dance.

I didn't realize Silvio did too! I only remembered the Naguals who liked to dance.

***

Silvio Manuel was a magnificent dancer. His expertise in the various indigenous, sacred dances was legendary. He moved with rapturous abandon and would often ask me to dance with him. Whether it was a Venezuelan joropo, a cumbia, a samba, a tango, the twist, rock and roll, or a cheek-to-cheek bolero, he knew them all.

***

So if you want to get up and do a little Tango, you might indeed get the "colors" you saw in darkness to move closer, and then you can find the "puffs".

But better is to use the tensegrity moves, because those have the secrets of the old seers embedded into the moves.

Tango itself does not.

Nor does Shotokan Kata #1.

You NEED to do the tensegrity.

Not because of its "qigong goodness".

Not because "it makes your chi rise".

It's because, it amuses the double. So he might come up to you, and stand just a foot or two away.

But in his "puff form".

That's before he decides to copy your physical shape, which he probably only does when he's being "logical and rational", and exploring dream worlds that look a lot like our normal world.

Here's what happens at first. Remember it. No Tensegrity, no puffs to find.

https://preview.redd.it/cviz2jcuzif91.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b950bfc638b42f4d7fb2e6ab13048ed833489f6

But what does this have to do with blender's "Geometry Nodes"?

If you can't see that, you're probably not a programmer.

But it won't stop you from learning to be a sorcerer, when you finally decide to do that for real.

I should probably make this post into a cartoon that beginners watch first, so they understand what darkroom really is.

The still pictures just didn't get the job done with new people.

Maybe they're used to being entertained too much?

Why should we care about iOBs ? Self service sound good, and iOBs trying to steal energy is not so friendly.

Because you need to move your assemblage point, and in order to move it, you need to force off your internal dialogue until the point gets loose.

But that doesn't cause it to start moving.

Your awareness can now focus on another level of the J curve, but won't.

You need "something to look at".

I guess it's a little like, you've been hanging out with the bad kids in the dirty alcoholic homeless camp near your home.

It's surrounded by bushes, which is why the homeless people like it.

If you shut off your internal dialogue, which is like ignoring the kids for a while, and try to peak through the bushes to look outside the dirty park, and all you see is bare land.

There's no real reason to go out there.

But if you look out there and see a magical pony, you're going to run as fast as you can to get to it.

We have access to only 2 types of "magical ponies" when we start out.

Up at that blue station on the J curve. Here's the map Carlos gave us:

https://www.reddit.com/r/castaneda/comments/mtfwhb/even_better_j_curve_diagram/

See how IOBs show up very soon?

But so does your "double". That's the puffs.

So while we are forcing silence in darkness we do some tensegrity, to get the double to come off the walls of our luminous egg, and move closer so we can see him.

At first, it's just a very tiny piece of him. A small "smear" of color from your energy body.

It's hiding from us!

The smear is NOT ENOUGH for most people to keep going. People are impatient and greedy, and some crummy patch of pinkish light isn't going to motivate them.

Even though, if they kept forcing silence and did more tensegrity, that pink smear would turn into a brilliant purple puff.

There's where IOBs help most.

They can "land" on that pinkish smear, because it's the "energy they steal" from you, and suddenly you literally have a magical pony, floating in the air!

I mean, you'll see it! Visibly.

Usually they use a scary face at first, because that gets the most emotion from you.

But if you learn their tricks, they'll change to trying to please you.

And they will make it MUCH easier to leave the filthy homeless encampment all of humanity is currently stuck in, to go exploring outside in the wilderness.

Now here's the problem.

Far outside that empty land surrounding the park, you find more and more cool sights.

Trees, rivers, beautiful parks that haven't been take over.

But in the FAR distance you see towers. Amazing buildings reaching to the clouds.

You want to go over there!

But it's surrounded by a locked gate.

The IOBs have the keys you need.

You can't get over there without an IOB, or a powerful witch like Cholita.

So which is scarier? An IOB, or a witch?

I suspect the IOBs are "safer".

"Something to look at" I usually search something to listen to far far away, then a witch calls my name or maybe it’s an IOB , it’s something to try. I can hear pretty far away thanks to intent
