NAGUAL SHAMANISM

1.1 Shaman – Sorcerer – Nagual

Since I use the terms “Shaman,” “Sorcerer” and “Nagual” in this book, it would seem appropriate to give a short definition of each term, albeit a subjective one.

The Shaman

is integrated within a tribal structure and a combined healer, teacher, priest, therapist, and master of ceremonies. He has knowledge of the secret connections of life that are not recognizable to outsiders. He acts first and foremost for the community and is responsible for the smooth interaction within the community.

This is generally what people understand by the term shamanism. It has always existed in this form all over the world, and still does in old Europe, Siberia, Africa, Australia, North, Central and South America.

(The exact responsibilities and methods of the shaman are discussed in more detail in chapter 3, Shamanic leadership).

The Sorcerer

is something completely different and known to me primarily from the Toltec tradition of Central America. The sorcerer is a kind of “knowledgeable person,” a seer, who sees the world in the “old Toltec way” and acts accordingly. The term “Toltec” was used by the successor cultures of the historical Toltecs, such as the Aztecs – though detached from the culture and people of the Toltecs – for describing an “educated, artistic, knowledgeable” person. Someone who knew about the secrets and arts of “stalking” and “dreaming” was a Toltec. (More on stalking and dreaming in chapter 1.3)

Using the term “sorcerer” doesn't actually make much sense because it has a completely different connotation in our culture. In any case, these “sorcerers” or “seers” are not part of the tribal structure at all. They are also not at all interested in healing others, nor in acting as a teacher, priest or master of ceremonies for them.

The seer/sorcerer sees the world in a radically energetic way – everything is perceived and understood as an interplay of energies. His aim is to obtain or maintain as much energy as possible. This works best by wasting no energy or as little as possible. I will come back to this very plausible and interesting energetic issue.

The community generally shuns and fears the seers (sorcerers or also brujos). They are respected for their abilities and knowledge, but one would rather have nothing to do with them.

The Nagual

is essentially a seer/sorcerer who uses his power primarily to perfect his “nagual abilities” of seeing, stalking, dreaming, shapeshifting and intending. He does this to “see” beyond reality (the collective agreement about what is real) and to dream, intend and create realities other than the existing ones – for himself or for himself and others, or together with others.

“Nagual” as a term is best understood and explained in conjunction with its counterpart, the “Tonal”.

The tonal is everything – the nagual is everything else

Tonal refers to everything for which humans have already coined a word, or created a picture, a symbol. In other words, everything we can name and we more or less agree that it exists. It has been extracted from the state of “oneness” as “something,” was separated from other things and thus was born into “duality.”

In other words, “tonal” was defined as what is real and existent emerging from the “nagual,” the foam of possibilities, as quantum physicists describe the blurred, fuzzy area of the almost boundless reality possibilities.

In the words of the physicist and philosopher David Bohm, the tonal would be the “unfolded” partial realization, appearing in the “explicate order,” of a “folded in” potential in the higherdimensional “implicate order” (the nagual). Explanations for all these terms come later in chapter 4.

We might join some Indian tribes in saying that the “tonal” was already dreamed by humans into reality. Sorcerer or Naguals would say, the tonal was already dreamed from the fifth dimension, the dream-time, into a reality determined by the fourth dimension. Thus it became three-dimensional reality.

In contrast to the tonal, the nagual is everything that could be “dreamed into being”, but has not yet been done.

A Nagual, as a person and teacher, is therefore first and foremost an individual who has realized that the “tonal” is nothing more than previously dreamt up “nagual” – and who supports others in recognizing this as well.

He is furthermore able to carry out “excursions” into this nagual, into other realities, into the field of consciousness-energyeffectiveness underlying our reality and to enable such “excursions” also for his students (apprentices).

The goal is the softening of some of the possibilities that have solidified into realities and the bringing about of new realities.

…

Based on the explanation of terms above, I would not call myself a “shaman,” because a shaman does his work within a tribal community. My work, like the work of a Nagual, is done in the border regions where the old is dissolving and new realities are being created.

The nagual thus becomes the agent d’évolution. On the one hand, this means “agent of evolution,” i.e., an operating principle, the active force, the substance, the means that makes evolution possible. On the other hand, it is the “evolution agent,” the mediator, representative and “spy” of evolution, so to speak.

A Nagual has the ability to create new dream spheres for himself as well as for others, and to work either alone, or – in my opinion best and most effectively – together with others, on creating new beneficial realities.

The most important building blocks for these possible new experiences of reality are the Nagual’s skill in seeing, stalking, dreaming, shape-shifting, and intending acquired through practice and integrated experience. (These are discussed in more detail in chapter 1.3)

In order to understand the art and the phenomena of seeing, stalking, dreaming, shape-shifting and intending, one must envision that sorcerers and naguals live in a world where they are always aware that everything that seems so real and existent to us now, is nothing more than a possible reality – selected, created and maintained, by a kind of collective agreement of many generations of people in the course of many centuries, out of virtually unlimited possibilities.

This created possible reality could just as well have been assembled in a completely different way – and can (with sufficient power) be done differently at any time.

Fascinatingly, this view of reality is completely in line with the findings of quantum physics.

Not science fiction authors, esotericists or shamans, but Nobel Prize winners like Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrödinger tell us in all seriousness that

… the entire reality on the quantum level is an erratic unpredictability of possible probabilities. …

The physicist and Nobel Prize winner Niels Bohr, one of the forefathers of quantum theory, describes the world in the subnuclear range:

… as a superposition of all possibilities, in which every possibility exists as a probability next to each other resp. shadowy superimposed parallel, until a conscious observer observes or measures and thus decides for a real existence and thus the probability waves of the other superimposed existences collapse resp. disappear. …

… Every particle is until its observation in a not real intermediate world, in which it is accompanied by an innumerable amount of shadowy doubles, which represent every other possibility. …

… So all events, which could occur, can “exist” with a certain probability parallel in this intermediate world, until an observer decides for one of these (possible) realities. …

These great minds and Nobel Prize winners call our beloved reality and all matter a

… ghostly foam of probabilities …

Is all that exists merely a foam of possibilities?

… Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it.

… Niels Bohr

So essentially, the highest scientific circles agree that it is when the observer observes – meaning perceives – that what is observed, “becomes real.”

In Nagual Shamanism, there is a guiding principle:

Attention is power.

This means, wherever we direct our attention – the focus of our conscious perception – will become the reality that we experience.

 

1.2 Perception and reality

The way we create our reality begins with our perception – and so at this point we may need to take a closer look at the phenomenon of “perception.”

During the process of perception, sensory impressions are processed in the brain and by our neurological faculties – and then projected to the outside world. These sensory impressions are...
