WHO ARE THE CHACMOOLS?
One of the questions that has been asked with remarkable insistence has
to do with the three persons who have been teaching the seminars and
workshops so far: Kylie Lundahl, Reni Murez and Nyei Murez. They have
been called "the chacmools." This is a term taken from the name given to
some massive human figures found in the pyramids of Tula and Yucatan in
Mexico. Archeologists have classified those massive figures of
reclining men as incense burners set at the doors of the pyramids, but
don Juan Matus believed that they were representations of warrior
guardians that protected the pyramids as sites of power.
These figures were first encountered in the Mayan town of Chacmool,
hence the name "chacmool." The three persons mentioned above fit into
this general category of warrior guardian described by don Juan. However, it is erroneous to
believe that the three of them by themselves constitute this category of
warrior. The three of them are the ones on which has rested, so far,
the responsibility of sustaining the idea of a warrior guardian. Any one
of us who accepts the responsibility of guarding becomes, ipso facto, a
chacmool. Carlos Castaneda, as the nominal head of our enterprise of
freedom, is the chacmool of all practitioners under his tutelage, and by the same measure, so is
Carol Tiggs, the nagual woman.
On Kylie Lundahl, Reni Murez and Nyei Murez falls, nevertheless, the
burden of having been the first ones to apply to dayly living some
movements called magical passes discovered and developed by shamans who
lived in Mexico in ancient times ; on these three women falls also the
joy and the honor of having brought those magical passes to the public
in general. And the act of bringing them out, would have released them;
it would have further cut their ties with the self-importance that
rules the acts of everyday life. Ideally, Tensegrity should have bring
freedom to its practitioners, and the three chacmools known to the
participants in our seminars and workshops should have profit from this
situation. Unfortunately, the novelty of giving the public something that was so secret as the magical passes, caused an energy commotion that we had no means to anticipate and the chacmools have succumbed to the self-importance.
After saying goodbye and thank the audience, in the seminar and workshop of
December 9 and 10 of 1995, the three of them went to another level among the many that the warrior's way implies. They set out to test their discipline under indeterminable circumstances.
