Magic path current challenge: what happened 5 minutes ago?
During the day stop for a while and call to memory something that happened 5 minutes ago. What did you think about? What did you do? What was your emotional state? What did you feel at that moment?
Don Juan said that to recapitulate was to relive every, or nearly every experience that one had, and that in doing so, the assemblage point was displaced, ever to slightly, or a great deal, propelled by the force of memory to adapt the position it had when the event being recapitulated took place. This act of going back and forth from previous positions to the one which is current gives the practitioner the necessary fluidity to withstand unusual odds in their journey into infinity; odds which are not in any way part of a practitioner's habitual cognition.
