Any person has his own World Tree, his own Axis of the World. Brujo call it the assemblage point. By shifting their Axis, they can travel to different worlds and feel at home everywhere. It is the displacement of the assemblage point that allows the dreamer to act consciously in a dream.
This technique is complicated. … Not every magician knows how to travel in a dream, and not everyone strives for it. But anyone who claims magical Knowledge must be able to move his Axis of the World. And for this you need to open it in yourself.
For most people, the Axis of the World is strongly displaced. In fact, it is not rigidly fixed by anyone: its nature is such that it must be in motion all the time. But the magician can hold it in the area of the heart center - this is the ideal position. You should at least learn to keep it within the boundaries of the body. Because now the axis of the world for each of you is outside. And this is very bad, it means that you exist outside your own world. In other words, you don't exist at all.
Have you ever wondered why anthropologists and ethnographers are so attached to those whose culture they study? Even if they are the most primitive and cruel tribes? I will answer: because, unlike us, people in a traditional society are amazingly whole and consistent, they live a real life. They really exist.
Their Axis of Peace is where it should be. And these people do everything to keep it from shifting. And what we call life is nothing but an endless kaleidoscope of accidents and absurdities. “Ted,” Castaneda turned to me, “you were disappointed that the dream was so reminiscent of an ordinary dream and did not at all resemble reality. You are right: a dream does not look like your reality, because even a crumpled dream that passes by consciousness is much more real than the life in which we are supposedly awake."
The Indo-Aryans were familiar with the concept of maya - a universal illusion, in captivity of which a person's life passes. But why does a person fall into this captivity so easily? There is only one answer: he does not own his
Axis of the World. It is owned by the outside world, that is, chaos. And there is only one way to break out of this chaos, to turn it into Space: to return the Axis of the World to the limits of your body.
