A Workshop on
Carlos Castaneda's Tensegrity®
Theater of Infinity™:
Navigating a Path With Heart in our Relationships
Mexico City, Mexico
May 4 & 5, 2013
|
"I say it is useless to waste your life on a path that has no heart."
"But how do you know when a path has no heart, don Juan?"
"Before you embark on it you ask the question: Does this path have a heart? If the answer is no, you will know it, and then you must choose another path."
"But how will I know for sure whether a path has a heart or not?"
"Anybody would know that. The trouble is nobody asks the question."
"How should I proceed to ask the question properly, don Juan?"
"Just ask it."
"I mean, is there a proper method, so I would not lie to myself and believe the answer is yes when it really is no?"
"Why would you lie?"
"Perhaps because at the moment the path is pleasant and enjoyable."
"That is nonsense. A path without a heart is never enjoyable. You have to work hard even to take it. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy; it does not make you work at liking it."
- Don Juan Matus and Carlos Castaneda
Many attempt to define, 'a path with heart,' from the vantage point of societal values. For instance, 'a path with heart' could be mistakenly defined as possessing something we don't have, living according to what makes only ourselves happy, or accomplishing some long, sought-after, romanticized goal which we have no idea of how to attain.
For the seers of don Juan's lineage 'a path with heart' does not describe a conclusion or endgame, rather, it evokes a journey, whereby one connects his or her essence to Spirit as he or she navigates the shores and seas of life.
For seers, there is probably no area of life more deserving of navigating a path with heart than our 'relationships.'
Many of us, similar to the way we define 'a path with heart,' have relationships according to the status quo; we 'fall in love' and aim at 'happily ever after' without knowing how to begin, maintain, or if needed, gracefully end them. Without an internal look at our essence to determine what we value most, and the ability to ask and negotiate with ourselves and our partners some of our and their truest desires, we volley for power, demand to be heard without hearing, and blame others when part of the problem is ourselves. This mishandling of our relationships creates, according to seers, energetic havoc.
It is for this reason, that seers suggest a recapitulation, or review of some of our most meaningful past and current relationships. For, once armed with the knowledge of our intentions from before, we are better able to know what our essence and heart really wants now, and what we give in return. From this stance, we are in a much better place to intend new and different actions going forward, simply because we are in a better position to change ourselves. This is our magic - we each create our own reality according to how we perceive. Thus to perceive, call, or have a different relationship, we must change ourselves.
This will be the journey taken by participants during this workshop. In it, each will determine whether to look at a work, friend, family, or love relationship; and with the help of a unique seers' tool called Theater of Infinity, each will play out relevant relationship scenes from his or her life, evolving the interaction in those scenes to new possibilities through theater play.
(For a further description of the Theater of Infinity, see the interview from Reni Murez and Nyei Murez click here.) And together everyone will practice a series of magical passes to help gain a sense of calm, clarity and presence to identify what one is really seeking, as well as what one brings, in relationship.
With attention and practice, we can learn to navigate our relationships with actions that rise from a consciously beating heart - actions of which we responsibly hold the keys.
