I haven’t read it yet but Magaña passes my smell test.

I think this guy might be a torch bearer of knowledge that is over 50,000 years old.

His tradition is called Nagualism.

If you’ve looked into the work of James Churchward (which I have talked about in podcast guest appearances) his research yielded that the people who lived on the lost continent of Mu called themselves the Naacal.

In NE India there are the Nagas who influenced the Hindus and therefore also the Buddhists. Both the Hindus and the Buddhists have a teaching called “maya”.

Kind of weird that in the western hemisphere we have Mayan people practicing Nagualism, in the eastern hemisphere we have the Naga lineage teaching of maya, and in the middle there is claimed to have been a continent populated by the Naacal.

The Law of One, by the way, validates Churchward’s work on Mu, approximating that Mu went down about 53,000 years ago. Churchward’s research from the late 1800s and early 1900. Landed on 50,000. That’s damn close for independent sources.

That said, I think the Nagualist tradition has some legit cool stuff, especially stuff pertaining to dreaming. Dreaming is kind of the Nagualist’s wheelhouse.

Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing! I've come across the word "nagual" via Carlos Castaneda's works (I've only read the first one myself but a friend is a big fan). I recently started listening to the audio version of the Red Book by C.G. Jung, and it also hit me that Jung's interpersonal journeys were probably something quite similar to what Castaneda engaged in when he wrote his books. Also, the Australian Aborigines refer to "dreamtime" as being the time and space (or state?) when the world was created.

Jung and Castaneda both have a place in my research library.

Jung wrote about the psychology of kundalini yoga.

Castaneda was either representing the Nagualist tradition using fiction or non-fiction. I've heard arguments in both directions.

Star Wars is fiction yet the cosmology it contains is startlingly accurate, which, given that Lucas was a protege of Joseph Campbell, makes a lot of sense.

It's like Evey Hammond's father was quoted as having said in V for Vendetta about how artists use lies to tell the truth, so even if Don Juan was fabricated entirely, based on someone, or was actually a real dude, doesn't even matter because the archetypes offer us guidance either way.
