There comes a point in every warrior’s life when the path and walk, even the discipline which he has walked, brings him to a point beyond which he cannot see. Looking back upon the path, it is obvious that every vision, every practice of seeing was but looking deep into the patterns of life. Whether [...]

We are not born human. We are barely born to survive. We are actually pre-born. To survive and thrive we must be protected by our parents, culture or tribe for years before we can stand on our own. We have learned that even within the womb we go through stages of development and we “look” [...]
The Jaguar and the Eagle

There were two main and significant animals which informed the ancient Toltec nagual shaman. The first was the Jaguar, the second the Eagle. In both cases these two animals offer a depth of understanding about a path of awareness which could be most interesting. In context these two animals live in the two layers, or [...]

One of the hardest things about being an artist is that our own work, as we do it, cannot be seen by us as the observer. We are immersed in the flow of energy onto the page or into the work. All we often see is the imperfections until and including the moment we release [...]
Cultural Creatives – thinking outside the box

A student of mine came to me and asked, “Why is it that people do not know they are artists?” And it became obvious that the description of artist is limited in most people’s minds to the ability to draw. “I am no artist, I can’t even draw a straight line.” “PS neither can I, [...]
Assemblage Point Book

Assemblage point is a book that came to me fully formed in my thoughts during a ceremony about a month ago. It quickly came into form from this dream state in about one month. It is about a concept from Carlos Casteneda around a part of our energy bodies through which we perceive the world… [...]
Path with Heart

A lot is made of this idea a “path with heart.” Each person has perceptual fields around this idea… but what does this really mean in terms of action, practice in life? For some it is to be kind and nice to others, but this false heart would go against the ruthless honesty of the [...]
Battle of the Seer (Artist)

This series of battles and enumeration of them concludes with the battle of the seer. Knowledge is a trap as much as any other stage of growth and development. Knowledge can become so specialized that it traps the attention in itself. Also knowledge is not the same as information. We have great people who spend [...]
Codex Del Sol

Recently finished a book called Codex del Sol. The journey of this magnitude was pretty amazing. Initially the idea was spawned by the change in the clocks to the winter mode. Always a difficult time because it starts to be darker earlier, my interests were to keep pace with the sun. Like remembering the long [...]

I stepped out into not just a new day as the old one had promised but a night full of stars and a mountain aglow with lines of energy never seen before by my eyes. The old one asked in the prayers for the mother to open to us who celebrated this sacred lodge ceremony. Calling [...]
