Could The Paranormal Be `Parallel Perception'?

Is it possible that the reality we `see' is just a learned perception structure? Might paranormal experiences be a breaking thru of a `learned perception structure'? Are structures of perception a much more likely idea and explanation for paranormal events than depending on those same events as `existing' in some independent phenomenology structure on a permanent basis?

This is the website of a guru who maintains the above is indeed true - that the understanding has brought him access to a new realm of being - and that being under his tutelage can bring one the same state of beingness. And, oh, did I tell you that most of this knowledge that came to the guru - Lujan Matus - came from Carlos Castaneda's book character and possible person named Juan Matus - an Indian Sorceror - and that it comes in his DREAMS?

Anyway, this is his newish webpage (early material from an earlier site too)  which features those who have been making a trek to see Lujan and the impact they felt to their lives after visiting and learning with him. Also, the book that LM has written, IMO, was one of the best three esoteric books I've read in the last decade. Stewable, amazingly.

Castaneda's `Structure Of Perception' - The Structural Analysis

Believe it or not - this blog is noted for the word `Carlos' in search engines - due to a few posts about Carlos Castaneda.

But, perhaps, Barf Stew is ultimately an excellent description for the works of the writer Carlos Castaneda.

`Barf' due to the fact that perhaps Don Juan was a fabrication and the near certain possibility that all (IMO, except for an interesting possibility that the first may be `a little true') the books are complete fiction.

And, `Stew' due to the fact that, without question, his writings explored at least a few ideas that were seemingly `new' (controlled lucid dreaming-world) that many people were able to experience just by following his methods.

But, today - I'd like to explore the idea behind the title of today's post. You see, unless you actually read Carlos's first book - you missed the whole point. I mean it.

Because, at the end of the first book - Carlos actually explains the whole book in terms which clearly describe that he is himself describing a reality `structure' OF perception - with the example experiences in the book. Literally, different realities existing - WITHIN - spaces of  agreed `description'. With access to that reality gained by understanding the `perception clues' - all pointing to a `structure'.

So, he does that at the very end of the book - literally after the end of the `story' ------ in an area called  `Part Two' - A Structural Analysis. And, when I searched Google with those words I found this link with the very section I'm writing about today. (Link at end of post)

Here are some of the highlights of this link and the concept itself.

The `structure' involved a `man of knowledge' - who had an `ally' - the `ally' had a `rule' & finally - the `rule' was corroborated by `special consensus'.

Simple right?

But, let's do a little interpreting - and, even apply it to Carlos's most famous idea of Controlled lucid dreaming.

First, as a knower of his ideas - you could be a `man of knowledge' - (your starting point, your being, your being influenced by his writings) - Next - you would use your `ally' in dreaming - that would be the `trigger' - your ally - of purposely looking for and looking AT your `dream hands' - bringing them `consciously' in front of your dream eyes for viewing.

The `rule' at that point - was that to `gain more space within that reality' the man of knowledge would have to `change focus from the hands to other locations past the hands - establishing a location in the reality - the reality NOW having `special consensus'.

By following the above techniques - many folks, readers, of Castaneda's works WERE able to experience `special consensus' realities. Many WERE able to expand the literal size and scope of the dream world and abilities with the intentionality they possessed. Able to move about - to do things. To actualize more reality.

All because of being able to `perceive' (have perception of) a `structure'. But, it's really even easier than that - if - you think in terms of phenomenology.

Simply, one dreaming space (you) - anchors your dreaming space into a location via finding your body dream hands - (a space extending in the dream reality) - AND, establishing PERCEPTION in this new reality with a location to see from. Next, looking PAST ones `hands', `brings more space to explore'. One literally has a location - a space-time - in a special consensus reality.

Which brings us to our Barf Stew question; could most `paranormal' experiences be happening thru a `similar structure' process? A similar phenomenology? Could `perception itself' be a structure which is learned?
