Similar to lucid dreaming, the most important part of this exercise is to find and look at your hands in a dream. To let your instincts guide you. Reliving past incidents so that they lose their force. It is only when a person shifts to the second attention that he perceives the nagual. A person who is impeccable in his actions and considers himself already dead, thus surpassing the fear of death.
Sorcerers are also warriors.
Not much is known about Castaneda's family. Though he claimed that he had no relatives, his death certificate lists a niece, Talia Bey, who is president of Cleargreen, a company based in the USA that had been organizing Castaneda's Tensegrity seminars. No proof of their marriage, as usual, is available. Castaneda, in his book The Second Ring of Power , states that when people have children, it creates a hole in their luminosity. To regain the luminosity, parents who want to be sorcerers must steal it back from their children.
