Reallocating my life energy...!!

Zachary Cook2 said:Maybe 95% don't get it, 3% are wondering why we're even rambling about this stuff, 1% think it sounds interesting and might want to dive in, and then there's the 1% who actually understand... though honestly, that last group might be closer to 0.1% if I'm being real.

😁

Maybe you're onto something there. But look, we're dealing with one of those systems that’s just completely alien to how the average American thinks. It brings up concepts that even the most mainstream Eastern philosophies usually skip over. It’s a massive, layered thing—you practically need a roadmap to study it in the right order if you want it to make any sense. That's why I doubt many people can actually keep up with this level of breakdown...

Look, if anyone’s having a hard time with it, they can always go over to 😁

Haha... fair point...
But honestly, I just scrolled through that whole discussion about bilocation and saw you trying to break it down using the Toltec way. It’s a lost cause—they don't have the foundational knowledge for this new worldview the Toltecs introduced, so you're basically shouting into a void. They just can't get it. I actually dropped a post there once trying to explain how they're essentially trapped by their own narrow perception of reality, which makes grasping stuff like this impossible. Breaking those mental chains is tough when people think they can just "logic" their way through everything... it's not even their fault, really. The shamans have done a great job making sure nobody ever escapes that loop.

Look, the core of the Toltec view is pretty simple—this world isn't actually what our senses tell us it is. It’s more like this massive field of unique energy covering everything, and honestly, you can't even look at it directly for long without feeling overwhelmedand that energy? It’s fully conscious. Basically, we’re just tiny fragments of that energy trapped inside an energetic egg. Inside that egg, there’s this little light called the focal point, which handles how we perceive stuff. When that focal point hits certain energy radiations nearby, they automatically trigger the same kind of radiation outside the egg, and that’s how we "see" the world. It’s what’s known as centering Eagle radiations on a grand scale. Our little focal point only lights up a tiny fraction of those Eagle radiations, and that small slice is all the "world" we ever experience. Within the egg—which represents our true nature—the Toltec wisdom suggests we could actually pull together over two hundred different worlds, some similar to this one and some totally alien. But most people? They just spend their whole lives lighting up this one single reality and pass away without ever realizing they had the capacity to inhabit so many others...

The book mentions how movements shouldn't turn into habits or rituals—you know, like doing the exact same motions at 8:00 AM every single day. If they become habits, you lose the essence; it’s not just about the physical movement, but everything else too, because then it just turns into a mindless reflex.🙂

Anyway, go cut through the brush, enjoy yourself, merge with nature, and lean into the support of the earth and all the consciousness within it. Honestly, I can't go a single day without being in the woods. I had this crazy idea once about digging out a little cave deep in the forest, far away from everyone, just to sit there and do recapitulations.

Well, you've already started,😉 so now just get to the actual practice... your inner voice pretty much told you to write this post anyway, didn't it?😉

I've been playing around with the "magic" side of things for years, but it wasn't until last year that I actually started practicing Tensegrity—once I cleared out some energetic blockages and redirected that flow into specific exercises. Right now, I combine about 15 to 30 minutes of recapitulation followed by the 1/13 series.
For now, I'm sticking strictly to 1/13 since I'm not ready for anything more advanced yet. I still haven't quite figured out the proper way to do that first series—it doesn't feel fluid, but I'm getting there.

👍

😘

Regarding my walks through the woods, I feel so centered in those moments that sometimes I just want to stay there forever, lying on the leaves and merging with the ground, the air, and the sky—nature is so profoundly calming and relaxing that it feels like 🙏...

Nature definitely possesses that capacity to recharge your energy; I truly believe that returning to nature and to what is natural (the Truth) is the real way to find yourself again, to work with energy, and to do the inner work...

I've also noticed that the whole point is quieting the internal dialogue—silencing the mind. Sometimes I'll go for a run instead of a walk, and I feel just as incredible—the key is silencing the mind. I just follow whatever internal feeling tells me what I need in that moment...

When my mind is obsessed with thoughts, no matter what I'm doing, it doesn't feel right; it just feels heavy, meaningless, and chaotic...

The goal is to silence the thoughts, to simply exist in Nowhere. Awareness. That is the gateway to energy. It *is* the energy...

That's how I've come to understand things...

And for those of you who know more (Joseph Cook7 & Inside Silence), please correct me if I'm wrong; feel free to share—I'm listening and absorbing, trying to grasp everything related to energy (essentially, everything 😁)...

P.S.

A few essential concepts would include: energy (everything is energy—emotions, the physical, the metaphysical...), the senses (and the deception inherent in them, since we rely on sight and sound when we are really only catching a mere fraction of reality due to our low energy levels...), the illusion of the material world, perception, consciousness, Truth...

Are there any other key terms or concepts an expert might offer, perhaps with a brief explanation...

You're definitely on the right track—our biggest issue is that this world drains every bit of our energy, leaving us with nothing left to tap into anything beyond this realm. We've gotta start being stingy with our energy and cut out all the useless leaks. One of the massive energy hogs is this ego thing—it forces us to spend our whole lives trying to prove ourselves, act important, or climb some meaningless social ladder. If we could just stop that senseless drain, that energy would naturally pivot toward the unknown, letting us push the boundaries of our perception way further. One milestone would be reaching the "doppelgänger point," which basically lets you pull off bilocation—you know, existing in two different places at once...

The magic happens when you adopt a certain attitude: "I don't care"—not out of apathy, but through a genuine nonchalance and a simple way of living where we stop clinging to everything around us and instead anchor ourselves within our own internal silence. 🙂

It’s incredibly draining to constantly tilt at windmills, trying to prove your worth, your intellect, or your competence to everyone and everything, acting as an endless perfectionist just to meet someone else's expectations... 😢 It creates too much systemic tension.

I know it all too well (both the struggle and the stillness)... The mental warfare still dominates my thoughts 🙂 and there's plenty of chatter 🙂 (ego 😁), but I am working on it... 🥳 Every day, in every sense, I am learning to let go more and more... 😁

Help! 😍

You're making sense and your judgment is solid, but the warrior's path is brutal—nothing is handed to you; you earn every inch. Peace of mind is the foundation for everything, which means you have to shatter that mirror of self-reflection we spend our whole lives building to maintain an image of our own importance. By doing that, we loosen the central pivot point, but its movement has to be guided by genuine intention and pure motives. If it isn't, you might trigger that pivot, but it'll start spinning out of control, which basically means losing your mind and going crazy. Only for a true, disciplined warrior does that center move steadily and predictably under their command...

For me, the hardest part is shedding everyone else's expectations. For as long as I can remember, there’s always been some external force expecting something from me—apparently because I’m supposedly "bursting with potential"—and it feels like this crushing weight. I find myself constantly trying to dodge the urge to justify or explain my life choices and my way of thinking to anyone who asks. 😠 Honestly, trying to explain it to others is just... mission impossible. How do you actually let go of that need to please and just exist as yourself? Is there anything more practical than just trying to force the mind into silence through sheer willpower? From what I can tell, that path is pretty damn rocky...

Sometimes I feel caught in a web, lost in a labyrinth, mostly because I'm not even sure what I want myself—all I get are endless suggestions, directions, criticisms, and a mountain of expectations (well-meaning ones, of course 😁) that only serve to pull me further away from my own center. The people in my life are wonderful, truly, but how do you remain honest with yourself and them without being brutal? How do you break that intrusive connection to everyone else? Is there a version of this that doesn't hurt so much?

I keep asking questions, and the answer I get from deep within is that peace of mind is the foundation and the prerequisite for everything else (as you said, Joseph Cook7), making it perhaps the most concrete move one can ever make...

Look, we can't exactly stop being human and part of a social circle called society... that much is obvious. In the Toltec way, there aren't any cookie-cutter templates or recipes I can just dictate to you for you to memorize. It's more about adopting new perspectives on the world that tear down the stereotypes and learned patterns this whole society is built on. Basically, they break the stereotype that this material world is fixed and unchangeable... that's their starting point and how they prove their point. The second thing is how they interact with the world and the people around them—it's a specific approach called controlled madness . The term comes from the idea that human behavior is inherently crazy, so they use controlled madness as a defense mechanism. It means the warrior adapts to society instead of standing apart from it—they work, they struggle, they grind just like everyone else—but they're basically just playing along. Underneath that mask, they're as cool as ice and totally detached from all the human drama. That's about it for now...

So, there’s this whole debate about the Aztec warrior's supposed double or bilocation thing. You can't just stare at a double with some materialistic mindset and expect to make sense of it—it’s basically just an energy imprint mimicking the physical original. Because of that, the usual rules don't apply... I mean, the guy could walk through walls or scale a vertical surface like it’s nothing since he's pure energy. But he can't eat, and there’s one dead giveaway he can’t replicate from the original: the eyes. A double's eyes are just raw, glowing energy...!!

No offense intended, but I gotta ask: do you guys usually take things this literally, or are you just quoting the book word-for-word?

I find the ancient Aztec teachings super interesting, but I can't help feeling like this might be a bit of a misinterpretation, or maybe I'm just missing something?

It's not just copying stuff, even if the wording is identical.
Everything Charles has written in his last few posts—for instance, that's actually how I live my life—and I can say with total confidence that I'm living life to the absolute fullest compared to most people out there. I wouldn't go back to living like a regular person ever again, because I remember what that was like... and frankly, it was pretty pathetic.

Heh, try running backward—you'll see how fast that shuts down your internal monologue.😉

Yeah, once you kill the mental noise, that's when you're actually present in the moment. You nailed it, and I'm glad you did.🙂

I honestly feel like I don't know anything yet, so if my ignorance can somehow be helpful to you, then I'm happy.🤷

I picked that handle myself once I became aware of the silence and realized I wasn't constantly talking to myself in my head. It felt like a good way to mark that turning point for me.

🙂

Alright, so we're talking about using the identical words, not just interpreting them differently?

Everything Joseph Cook7 has been posting lately—honestly, that’s exactly how I live my life. I can say with total certainty that I’m living life to the fullest compared to most people. I would never go back to living like an average Joe because I remember what that was like, and man, it was pretty bleak.

Look, I get that you dig those sources and find them useful, but that wasn't my question. My original point still hasn't been addressed.

And I’d really love it if Joseph Cook7 could weigh in on this. It seems like everyone else is fine with it except me, probably because they think I'm just trying to stir the pot. But honestly, acting solely on assumptions is the opposite of being an Aztec warrior, and it definitely flies in the face of the Four Agreements.

Thanks in advance for the replies!

Look, folks,
if you think I've got something wrong, go ahead and prove it—use quotes, talk about your own experience, whatever—but just know I’m sticking strictly to the Aztec way since some parts are pretty set in stone...
Honestly, it just seems like you're not feeling the Aztec vibe or you haven't quite grasped it yet, so you're poking fun at me—but hey, whatever works for you!

Easy 🙂

I'm not sure, which is why I'm asking. It feels like we need to take these interpretations with a grain of salt and look a bit deeper. Like, you wouldn't take every word in the Bible literally and call it a day, right? You get what I'm saying?

What’s even the point of this thread if I can't ask a question that might rub some people the wrong way, especially when I'm definitely not trying to insult anyone.
Don't you think questioning things is totally necessary? And let's be real, there's always going to be a few haters in every group, right?

I’ve been doing a bit of deep diving on Google lately, trying to wrap my head around this whole tensegrity thing, but honestly... there are just zero good diagrams or visual guides for actual exercises out there, aside from one lonely little clip...
Is there any other kind of visual material out there where someone could actually figure out the movements on their own without having to drive all the way to a gym or something?
