Sorcerers have seen that there are two types of conscious beings roaming the earth, the organic and the inorganic, and that in comparing one with the other, they have seen that both are luminous masses crossed from every imaginable angle by millions of the universe’s energy filaments. The life and consciousness of organic beings is short-lived, because they are made to hurry, whereas the life of inorganic beings is infinitely longer and their consciousness infinitely more calm and deeper.

“Then the inorganic beings must also die. Is that true, don Juan?”

“Naturally. They lose their awareness just like we do, except that the length of their consciousness is staggering to the mind.”

I believe that the jolts of fear you are experiencing nowadays are not indigestion but energy jolts sent to you by the inorganic beings.”

“Yes. But for a perfect result, you must add to your practices the intent of reaching those inorganic beings. Send a feeling of power and confidence to them, a feeling of strength, of detachment. Avoid at any cost sending a feeling of fear or morbidity. They are pretty morbid by themselves; to add your morbidity to them is unnecessary, to say the least.”

“Fear can settle down in our lives, and we would have to be mavericks to deal with it. Inorganic beings can be worse than a pest. Through fear they can easily drive us raving mad.”

“What do sorcerers do with inorganic beings?”

“They mingle with them. They turn them into allies. They form associations, create extraordinary friendships. I call them vast enterprises, where perception plays the uppermost role. We are social beings. We unavoidably seek the company of consciousness. “With inorganic beings, the secret is not to fear them. And this must be done from the beginning.”

Watery inorganic beings are more given to excesses. The old sorcerers believed that they were more loving, more capable of imitating, or perhaps even having feelings. As opposed to the fiery ones, who were thought to be more serious, more contained than the others, but also more pompous.”

“The best thing to do with inorganic beings is what you do: deny their existence but visit with them regularly and maintain that you are dreaming and in dreaming anything is possible. This way you don’t commit yourself.”

The dreaming attention, the energy body, the second attention, the relationship with inorganic beings, the dreaming emissary are but by-products of acquiring cohesion; in other words, they are all by-products of fixating the assemblage point on a number of dreaming positions.”

When I asked Don Juan to comment on what was happening to me, he said, “At this point in your dreaming, scouts are reconnoiterers sent by the inorganic realm. They are very fast, meaning that they don’t stay long.”

“Why do you say that they are reconnoiterers, don Juan?”

“They come in search of potential awareness. They have consciousness and purpose, although it is incomprehensible to our minds, comparable perhaps to the consciousness and purpose of trees. The inner speed of trees and inorganic beings is incomprehensible to us because it is infinitely slower than ours.”

“What makes you say that, don Juan?”

“Both trees and inorganic beings last longer than we do. They are made to stay put. They are immobile, yet they make everything move around them.”

“Do you mean, don Juan, that inorganic beings are stationary like trees?”

“Certainly. What you see in dreaming as bright or dark sticks are their projections. What you hear as the voice of the dreaming emissary is equally their projection. And so are their scouts.”

“It’s the nature of that realm to foster secretiveness. Inorganic beings veil themselves in mystery, darkness. Think about their world: stationary, fixed to draw us like moths to a light or a fire.”

“Inorganic beings can’t force anyone to stay with them,” don Juan went on. “To live in their world is a voluntary affair, yet they are capable of imprisoning any one of us by catering to our desires, by pampering and indulging us. Beware of awareness that is immobile. Awareness like that has to seek movement, and it does this, as I’ve told you, by creating projections, phantasmagorical projections at times.”

I asked don Juan to explain what “phantasmagorical projections” meant. He said that inorganic beings hook onto dreamers’ innermost feelings and play them mercilessly. They create phantoms to please dreamers or frighten them.

The inorganic beings are the bidders for that new, enhanced awareness. Dreamers have to be forever on their toes. They are prey the moment they venture out in that predatorial universe.”

“What do you suggest I do to be safe, don Juan?”

“Be on your toes every second! Don’t let anything or any body decide for you. Go to the inorganic beings’ world only when you want to go.“

“Well, the nagual Elias and the love of his life, the witch Amalia, got lost in the inorganic beings’ world,” don Juan went on. “They went there not in dreaming but with their physical bodies.”

“How did that happen, don Juan?”

“Their teacher, the nagual Rosendo, was very close in temperament and practice to the old sorcerers. He intended to help Elias and Amalia, but instead he pushed them across some deadly boundaries. The nagual Rosendo didn’t have that crossing in mind. What he wanted to do was to put his two disciples into the second attention, but what he got as a result was their disappearance.” Don Juan said that he was not going to go into the details of that long and complicated story. He was only going to tell me how they became lost in that world. He stated that the nagual Rosendo’s miscalculation was to assume that the inorganic beings are not, in the slightest, interested in women. His reasoning was correct and was guided by the sorcerers’ knowledge that the universe is markedly female and that maleness, being an offshoot of femaleness, is almost scarce, thus, coveted.

All the inorganic beings have to do is to place our assemblage point on the right location, and off we go, like a bullet, shoes, hat, and all.”

It is absurd to trust the inorganic beings. They have their own rhythm and it isn’t human.”

You must be extremely careful, for you are about to fall prey to the inorganic beings,” don Juan said to me, quite unexpectedly, after we had been talking about something totally unrelated to dreaming. His statement caught me by surprise. As usual, I attempted to defend myself.

“You don’t have to warn me. I’m very careful,” I assured him.

“The inorganic beings are plotting,” he said. “I sense that, and I can’t console myself by saying that they set traps at the beginning and, in this manner, undesirable dreamers are effectively and permanently screened out.”

The tone of his voice was so urgent that I immediately had to reassure him I was not going to fall into any trap.

“You must seriously consider that the inorganic beings have astounding means at their disposal,” he went on. “Their awareness is superb. In comparison, we are children, children with a lot of energy, which the inorganic beings covet.”

“The universe of the inorganic beings is always ready to strike,” he went on. “But so is our own universe. That’s why you have to go into their realm exactly as if you were venturing into a war zone.”

“Do you mean, don Juan, that dreamers always have to be afraid of that world?”

“No. I don’t mean that. Once a dreamer goes through the universe behind the second gate, or once a dreamer refuses to consider it as a viable option, there are no more headaches.”

Finally, Florinda broke the ice. “You were lured into a trap; that’s what happened to you,” she said.

“Where was I lured into a trap?”

“In the world of the inorganic beings, of course. That has been the world you’ve been dealing with for years. Isn’t that so?”

“Most definitely, Florinda. But can you tell me about the kind of trap it was?”

“Not really. All I can tell you is that you lost all your energy there. But you fought very well.”

“Why am I sick, Florinda?”

“You are not sick with an illness; you were energetically wounded. You were critical, but now you are only gravely wounded.“

“How did all this happen?”

“You entered into a mortal combat with the inorganic beings, and you were defeated.”

“I don’t remember fighting anyone, Florinda.”

“Whether you remember or not is immaterial. You fought and were outclassed. You didn’t have a chance against those masterful manipulators.”

“I fought the inorganic beings?”

“Yes. You had a mortal encounter with them. I really don’t know how you have survived their death blow.”

“The inorganic beings snatched you, body and all. First they took your energy body into their realm, when you followed one of their scouts, and then they took your physical body.”

Don Juan’s companions seemed to be in a state of shock. One of them asked Don Juan whether the inorganic beings could abduct anyone. Don Juan answered that they certainly could. He reminded them that the nagual Elias was taken into that universe, and he definitely did not intend to go there.

“The inorganic beings are glued together, like the cells of the body,” don Juan went on. “When they put their awareness together, they are unbeatable. It’s nothing for them to yank us out of our moorings and plunge us into their world. Especially if we make ourselves conspicuous and available, like he did.”
