Ecstasy and Conspiracy

That is why each man or each child, from that first lump of organic pulses is according to Castaneda a result of natural choice. Not just a selection as the superficial biologism one-sidedly considers but further more the election stands behind each individual human life even behind each biological event. And what is the point of that election, of that cosmic choice in which in the biggest fatal lottery everything that lives is a winner of the far more important number!?
That is why each man or each child, from that first lump of organic pulses is according to Castaneda a result of natural choice. Not just a selection as the superficial biologism one-sidedly considers but further more the election stands behind each individual human life even behind each biological event. And what is the point of that election, of that cosmic choice in which in the biggest fatal lottery everything that lives is a winner of the far more important number!?
That number is endlessly important, it is even a condition for every possible and imaginative importance because it decides for all the difference that means anything at all: the difference among Essence and Nothing!
To play its part of the role in the big drama of the Universe! A role necessary for the evolution! Concrete, a man develops his role in the structure of our genetic tank – Gene Pool. These roughest, but with most power underlined moves at the sketch of the world as Carlos Castaneda sees it, come down to the following profile’s indication:
The world is unity. Of all within all. The world is an endlessly big project, a plan – conspiracy. Not unfriendly, not pointed against. Simply, its dimensions are as such as it is invisible and unreachable for any of its individual segment. Everyone knows just his, as every rain drop drops through its own line and still all of them make alive the field, or even the biosphere. The man is that segment the has already, trough evolution, reached the level at which can be realized a huge part if not the total landscape of the Universe. That’s why, by recognizing and taking a sight of all results of the human idea, must be done one step of self-sacrifice, at least in this stage of the general development. Must be explored and used upon one self-the techniques of the ecstasy!
Under this light, Castaneda’s opus gets a monolith and coherent frame and central principle. He, above all, explores all of the relevant dimensions of the human intellect. Through this stage, he opens the way towards the unclear sense at first, to the precise knowledge, afterwards, of the dimensions and the aspects of the universal intellect. In this stage are involved practically all experiences described in the frames of the techniques that discover the residential, archaic person and ancient subconscious of the man. Practically, present everywhere, this segment is especially concentrated in the first four books of Encyclopedia Castanediana, let us be allowed this word construction which, according to the experiences of this opus, is certainly not exaggerated.
Further, Castaneda explores all forms of that which determines our thinking and acting within our sociable world. This stage, or to speak openly, these epoch of developing its own sense and the education of its own intellect, goes through searching of The social dimensions of personality. To constitute a person, a character, a temper, prejudices and affinities, passions and phobias in other words everything that can be an obstacle, but which certainly is inseparable ingredient of man as a socially and historically define creature.
The analyses of the ecstatic’ history is that third important part in Carlos Castaneda’s giant project. Far away of accepting the simplification point of view about the strict physiological foundations of the organized human influence upon his own conscious, Castaneda explores the hidden layers of this practice that escorts the whole history of mankind – without geographical, social or political exceptions. Lifted above sociological limitation, Castaneda explains the ecstatic techniques as an elite, exclusive segment of every human community. In the way that the trunk of the fir doesn’t grow by its whole length but grows only with its fragile, bloomed peak that aims towards the light unknown to it, but not less important, so every human community in this ecstatic techniques finds its crown with which communicates with the metaphysics light, just as unknown and just as necessary for its survival.
This way shows that the opposite phenomena – politics and culture, are working on the same assignment and help each other, even when the one completely holds back the other. The political revolution, does violently and cruelly, what the culture revolution achieves subtle and gradually. The principle of jang and jin in their eternal changing, just at the moment when one of them reaches the biggest domination and climax, is the model that to Castaneda can be used upon the social evolution, first of all in the context of it being a developing factor of the individual human sense.
Finally, the highest level of this Castaneda’s heroic lonesome epic poem is the part in which extremely esoterically and with subtle indications such as removing Maya’s veil in the Buddhist philosophy tradition, Carlos Castaneda discovers the ecstatic techniques for Communication with higher intelligence with completely understandable reasons, exceptionally hermetic, these parts of Carlos Castaneda’s opus, in the same time discover the highest, esoteric sphere, to which his researches has reached. Their comment opens one whole new area of accumulated by millennium’s experiences of mankind, controversial and fascinating in the same time. Even small, their analysis obligates to separate essay.
In the substratum of that relation, while facing with the immeasurability
and timelessness reflected on the phoneme of our eternity
without whom, if we remember the classic sentence of a big religious philosopher Schlaermaher there is no religion, based on which as its necessary foundation, is built the whole religion, Castaneda resolves the highest massage from his astral trips. The solution of the world, of the universe, the eternity, the solution of the Great Conspiracy, as much as, it can be penetrated by organized and controlled ecstasy, as a key gnoseological instrument, comes down to the feeling of a mystic uniting with the highest intelligence or with the soul of the Universe.
Regarding to us, Carlos Castaneda has totally transformed into testimony of his way there, where his heart has leaded him to and of that what he has seen and has learnt on that way.
Regarding to himself, Carlos Castaneda has separated from his soft, warm home, from the smooth, pulsating body, and, as much he had approached the solar sphere of his heart’s way, that much he had dissolved, had melted, a gray fog he has become in the whirlpools of the warm intelligence.
