Nagual (pronounced nah-wa'hl) - tulpa - monad - モナドAs Castaneda's teacher says: "We cannot understand the Nagual, we can only see for ourselves that it exists". Even the term 'Nagual' exists only as a very inaccurate way of talking about 'what really isn't any-thing at all.' In Casteneda's books one reference to the meaning of nagual is: "... Turn everything into what it really is: the abstract, the spirit, the nagual." According to Castaneda, and according to many other sources as well, the universe is split into several 'layers', like the skins of an onion. There are ten such layers (in some other systems the number of paralell universes may differ. I believe that the Siberian shamans have nine such worlds, divided into underworlds and heavens, another common figure is seven). The 'Inorganic beings' come from another such layer than ours. They are (still according to Castaneda) only interested in energy, and as sorcerers go they are concerned with saving energy and thus become very interesting to the allies. The allies tries to make bonds with the human practitioners, and invites the practitioner to come and 'live' in them. nice part You must push yourself beyond your limits, all the time. "What is a truthful life?"- A life lived with deliberateness, a good, strong life. To become a man of knowledge was a matter of learning A man of knowledge had unbending intent A man of knowledge had clarity of mind To become a man of knowledge was a matter of strenuous labor A man of knowledge was a warrior To become a man of knowledge was an unceasing process. A man of knowledge had an ally. Carlos Castaneda (Don Juan) A thoughtform is a manifestation of mental energy, also known as a 'tulpa' in Tibetan mysticism.[1] The thoughtform is also one of the expressed (visualized) means of Samyama.[original research?] Its concept is related to the Western philosophy and practice of magic.[2] Khanna (2003: p.21) links mantras and yantras to thoughtforms: A warrior must only take care that his spirit is never broken. Shissai Sentirse importante lo hace a uno pesado, torpe y vano. Para ser un guerrero uno necesita ser ligero y fluido. >>Don Juan Matus<<

'Nagual' is also a term used in the books by Carlos Castaneda. There are three definitions of the word: 1) to describe a person [1] who is able to lead people to new areas of consciousness. Carlos Castaneda's guide “don Juan Matus” often referred to himself as the Nagual for his "party of warriors". Also, Nagual is considered by Castaneda's followers to be related to Eastern concepts of Tao, meditation, or infinity. 2) It's a part of the totality of the self (in don Juan's words), a part of the human consciousness that's beyond syntax and linear thinking; it's the counterpart of the tonal. 3) The word Nagual sometimes replaces the word spirit understood as an entity in the universe to which sorcerers learn to relate.
