This Makes No Sense!: Conversations With Carlos Castaneda

The passage explores Carlos Castaneda’s views on ancient monuments and artifacts, particularly those created by the “old seers” of ancient Mexico, and their impact on human awareness. Here is a summary:
1. Distinction Between Ancient and Modern Seers:
Castaneda clarifies that the abstract knowledge of modern seers differs significantly from the practices of ancient seers. While ancient seers immersed themselves in the “second attention” (an altered state of awareness) and expressed it through sculptures and monuments, this led to an obsession with external representations of knowledge.
2. Dangers of Ancient Artifacts:
Castaneda warns that ancient creations, like pyramids and artifacts, are imbued with the intent and fixation of their creators. These objects are powerful “antennas of the second attention,” capable of moving the assemblage point (a key concept in his teachings related to perception and awareness). However, they also carry risks, including obsession and energetic entrapment.
3. Energetic Fixation and Obsession:
Ancient monuments, designed with the influence of inorganic beings, are energy accumulators. They condition human attention and can ensnare individuals into states of fixation. Castaneda recounts personal experiences, such as encountering powerful energy fields at the pyramids of Tula, which evoked fear and awe.
4. Universal Phenomenon of Fixation:
This fixation is not unique to Mexican artifacts but is a global phenomenon wherever awareness is intentionally cultivated through symbolic creations. Castaneda observes similar effects in famous sculptures and monuments worldwide, noting their ability to elicit intense emotional and energetic responses.
5. The Role of Human Attention:
Castaneda emphasizes that the real issue lies within humans, not the objects. Our tendency to fixate on external symbols perpetuates energetic submission. While these monuments can momentarily shift awareness, they can also trap individuals if approached without caution.
6. Defenses Against Fixation:
Castaneda identifies two ways to counteract the influence of these artifacts:
• Avoidance: Turning away from such objects.
• Impeccability: Cultivating a disciplined, warrior-like mindset that frees one from fixation.
Once a warrior achieves true freedom (cutting ties with the “human form”), they can engage with these objects without being affected and instead appreciate their true purpose as tools of silent understanding.

In summary, the passage presents a nuanced view of ancient creations as both powerful tools for shifting awareness and potential traps for those unprepared. The key to navigating their influence lies in cultivating personal freedom and impeccability.
