THE ORIGIN OF THE RULE
I asked him how man had come into contact
with this womb.
He replied:
"It has always existed. However,
seers are the discoverers and guardians of it.
"The Rule is the origin of the
universal order. Its operation and purpose are ignored, not because they are
not known, but because they are not understood. Hundreds of generations of
sorcerers gave their lives in their zeal to elucidate it, and to develop
practical proposals for every one of its conceptual units.
"In the beginning, no man had even
thought to try to catch a gleam of this structure, because nobody knew it was
there. As the seers of old Mexico
came into contact with other aware entities on this Earth, much older and more
experienced than the seers themselves, they began acquiring portions of the
Rule. One day they saw that all those portions fit into each other like a
puzzle. That day, they discovered what they called 'the map', and the lineage
of the seers of antiquity began.
"Through their seeing, they verified each portion related to dreaming. They tested every combination, determining their effects
on awareness. They organized exercises of dreaming
on seven levels of increasing depth, and they penetrated the innermost twists
and turns of the universe. Little by little, they developed the pattern for the
nagual party, a structure in the shape of an extremely stable pyramid, capable
of expressing the designs of power with transparent clarity.
"But there was one thing the ancients
didn't verify: The Rule for the stalkers. They viewed stalking as a latent
possibility, which it was not worthwhile to explore in practice."
“Why?”
"Because, in an era when being
a sorcerer meant being at the top of the social scale, stalking as an art had
no purpose. It would have been a poor investment. But when the modality of the
time changed, that line of reasoning brought the old seers almost to the edge
of extinction.
"It was not until the appearance of
the Toltec’s that the other great portion of the Rule revealed its
extraordinary content. Lineages who were able to apply it were the only ones
who survived; the rest were dissolved, and got lost in the vortex which
signified the fall of the old seers’ régime. The incorporation of stalking
determined the birth of the new seers. With them, the Rule of the nagual was
completely elucidated."
"When did that happen?"
"The period of the new seers began
about five thousand years ago, and reached its peak in the times of Tula. Through stalking,
the fundamental contribution of those warriors to sorcery was the notion of
'impeccability'.
