Dear Rawn, > >> And is there any way of shifting the locations of the cords? << > > No. These things are determined by Nature. But my question is why in > the world would one even want to do such a thing? Castenada's description of the assemblage point (located in the air region, on the back) seemed to make sense and answer some questions. I thought that the cords may 'be' (or may have a relation to) the assemblage point (which is shifted to accomplish various things, other states of consciousness etc.) Is there even such a thing as this assemblage point? If so, why doesn't Bardon mention it? I'm a little disappointed (but not surprised) to find out that Carlos is somewhat of a joker - everyone always seems so sure that he's genuine. The power of belief I suppose! Regards, M
