A Gift from the Past...

I am encountering an interesting phenomena.  Books and information that I had never been able to read or understand or even want to read suddenly are becoming must reads for me.  And it usually is through a synchronicity that I become reacquainted with this information.  In the past few weeks I took up a book by Dr. Wayne Dyer on intention because my friend had seen one of his shows on PBS.  Then from Dyer I was reintroduced to Carlos Castaneda which at one time I was not able to get into at all.   I am now learning from both of them.   When another puts words in a certain order I can see a picture and gain an understanding.  From Castaneda’s book, THE ACTIVE SIDE OF INFINITY, Castaneda’s teacher Don Juan describes when they met:  “When we met in Arizona, both of us crossed a peculiar threshold, ‘he continued’. And this threshold was not decided by either one of us, but by infinity itself.  Infinity is everything that surrounds us..... The Sorcerers of my linage call it infinity, the spirit, the dark sea of awareness, and say that it is something that exists out there and rules our lives.” 
continuing Castaneda writes: 
....”He answered that his steps and mine were guided by infinity, and that circumstances that seemed to be ruled by chance were in essence ruled by the active side of infinity.  He called it intent.” 
 “... the active side of infinity.  He called it intent.”     This was truly a gift from the past to me.  Carlos Castaneda died in 1998.
