When we finally realize what is going on, it is usually too late to turn back.” CARLOS CASTANEDA “And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us?” (The Gospel of Saint Luke 4: 33-34) “For every angel is terrifying.” (Rainer Maria Rilke) The double is white, yellowish white, like the sun. Yes, we are pieces of the sun; we are all like the sun but very, very faint. That is why we are luminous beings. . . A human being, or any other living creature, has a pale yellow glow in their luminous body. A sorcerer is amber, like clear honey in the sunlight. Some women sorceresses are greenish. Those are the most powerful and the most difficult. Carlos Castaneda, The Second Ring of Power.
