About this book
If you are wondering where to start or what exactly needs to be done to reach Total
Freedom, you have come to the right place. This guide will provide an overview of what
you need to know and do. It will also heip you to avoid several pitfalls.
To deviate from the authentic course of saving energy, Leaming the Mastery of
Awareness, and the bare Quest for Total Freedom is at best time-wasting and at worst
disastrous. A Sober warrior does what is required, no more, no less.
Because it is our natural proclivity, a great number of people are curious about the Way;
but they don't know how to sort the authentic from the fake or the innaccurate. Often they
bring their innocence and trust to a 'Nagual' and are 'rewarded' with abuse and I or
misdirection. Only those who have cancelled out their egos and accepted the Designs of
the Spirit, and who have become Free from the Parasites, are qualified to Teach or Lead.
There are a great many new groups of would-be 'seers' and 'Naguals' out there, and few
have any real Knowledge of how to go about Questing for Total Freedom. Most are very
human people with agendas of being liked, respected, held in awe. Many just want sex or
companionship. Very, very few are authentic and ready to Teach or to Lead a group of
warriors. The majority's understanding of the Way is flawed or at least limited in the
extreme, and a lot of what they practice is simply invented by them, without any real
Seeing behind it. Lies and fabrications abound. For every genuine seer, there are a couple
of million fakes. Like the old seers, they want power and control over people and are at
the service of their own ego, not the Spirit.
And there are those who can't let go of their middle-class mentalities and end up resentful
and hurt when their egos are provoked by a genuine Nagual, whose job it is to Act as a
Tyrant, and to Trick the Student. Only those pinpointed by the Spirit qualify for receiving
the Teachings, because only they will be able to Let Go of their egos and fulfil the
Promise of Freedom. No volunteers will be accepted, and a Teacher can't just choose
anyone he wants. It's not a human Decision; it's out of our hands. There are a lot of
damaged and resentful people out there who are now posing as 'Teachers' but cannot
bring themselves to Love their Tyrants. They are not warriors or seers. They moan and
whine about their 'hardships'. Whole websites and communities created by them are
dedicated to their resentment and complaints. Great Gifts were just wasted on them.
So, for best results, use this guide. It is an oasis in a desert of ignorance and egotism. It is
authentic and has no purpose other than getting the warrior to the Third Attention.

Foreword: Embodying the Impeccable Structure oft he Rule
This book is a set of guidelines for the Student seer. What is presented here are the bare
bones of the topics covered in the course of the Seer's Apprenticeship, and also in the post­
Apprenticeship period, following the course of the Seer's Quest that leads to Total
Freedom.
These days, warrior-seers are Alone. In the past, warriors were part of the Party of Seers,
and had a Master Seer, a Nagual, to Guide them. Now they do not. But that doesn't matter.
Now that warriors are Alone, without the Nagual Seer or the N agual's Party of Seers, they
must be prepared to Quest for Total Freedom on their own, and for this all that is needed is
a minimal set of guidelines. All that impeccable Men need is a glimpse of the Possibilities
that seers have unravelled. They need no-one to guide them. By themselves, through saving
their energy, they can do everything that seers do. That saved energy can make the
Possibilities outlined by seers come alive ..
This book is a humble attempt to provide that minimal set of guidelines.
Most topics and concepts have been given capitals in order to differentiate them from the
same words which have a different common meaning, and to emphasise them as concepts.
Some have not, in order either to preserve a certain simplicity and intimacy rather than
emphasis, for example 'energy body'; or to purposely de-emphasise, as in the case of 'old
seers'. As the reader progresses through the work, the concepts, at first ambiguous and
uncertain, will dawn on him or her and become clear. By the book's end, all the concepts
presented are fully explained.
All the bare required information is included here for the Student, making a stable
interlocking structure that functions as the blueprint for the structure of a warrior-seer's life
- his path, his Decisions and Actions. All one has to do is bring his or her innocence,
Courage, and persistence to that Structure, and remake him or herself to its Intent. The
result of fully aligning with this Structure will be a warrior-seer. Innocence, Courage, and
persistence will turn into Power.
In the past, that Structure was the Structure of the Party of the Nagual, which reflected the
Structure of the Rule; but in these changed times, warriors are Alone, and must embody the
Structure of the Rule by themselves, Alone. In this book the Structure of the Rule is
completely elucidated for the Lone warrior, who can use it to create a Structure of
Impeccable Intent for his life that will give him the best chance he can have ofreaching the
prime goal of Total Freedom.
1 have used the pronoun 'he' since I am male and this work is my own preparation, but most
of this Instruction is equally applicable to females. Where it is not, has been noted.
Only an Impeccable warrior can survive this path. The path is at once both the embodiment
by the warrior of the Structure of the Rule, and the structure of new realms of awareness,
which also embody the Structure of the Rule. The Rule encompasses everything. It outlines
the Energetic facts of the Universe, and the ideal model for human beings to face these
Energetic Facts and use them to reach Total Freedom.
Seers' concepts are often unfamiliar, strange, or at first seem to run counter to reason and
established scientific knowledge. Because the world-view of seers is comprised of the
Known, the Unknown, and the Unknowable, it is not the view of the average Man. Seers
have a more inclusive view of the Universe, gained through their Seeing. Over thousands of
years of Seeing, seers have come to Understand perception and awareness, the situation of
human beings, and the Energetic Facts of life and of the wider Universe, in a most scientific
way, Verifying by direct experience rather than assuming, speculating, or inferring by
logical deduction. Seers have, in fact, pried open the mysteries of life and awareness,
exposing the truths of what we really are and what our situation really is.
Learning, for the Student, is basically a series of traumatic realisations brought about by the
movement of his perception into specific areas of awareness. The Student then saves energy
through Sobriety, coming to terms with those traumatic realisations. That saved energy, in
tum, opens up even more areas of awareness. The Energetic Facts of the Universe are the
Energetic Facts of our being. Those traumatic realisations are realisations about ourselves
and our situation. By virtue of these realisations, warriors are crushed, reduced to nothing.
Yet warriors are happy. They are completely satisfied because they have reduced their
wants to nothing. They have no more worries or nagging desires. They are at peace, though
at war. So their lives are full. Life itself, being alive, is enough, and it fills them.
The essence of any philosophical system is its conclusion. All components of that system
go towards supporting the conclusion, which gives a view of the Big Picture. What is the
Structure of the Rule for? The conclusion of the Rule is the state of being of the warrior
entering into and existing in Total Freedom, Total Perception, Total Awareness, the Third
Attention.
The purpose of this work is to outline the Map to the Third Attention. This was necessary
because the pieces of the Map were scattered through various publications and interviews,
and consequently lacked the cohesion and clarity to be of much practical use as a way to
reaching the Third Attention.
My only credential is that l have presented the Teachings as they are, merely providing
accurate reportage of the Way of the Warrior-Seer, and I have endeavoured to intrude as
little as possible. This book strives to be simply a mirror held up to what seers say and do,
and is therefore more than anything else a resource for those who want to achieve what
Toltec seers say is within the Possibilities of every human being. Most of it either
paraphrases or directly quotes the words of seers themselves. Although it was written as my
own preparation for the Path ahead, my hope is that it will also be useful as a resource for
any Lone warrior who needs it.
