What I think of this chapter is that it is downright gross. After reading and rereading the chapter around half a dozen times I do not get what the author meant by it. Of one thing I am sure, I feel disappointed with the shallowness of the system of PON. Are you a super-urban person? I do think you are, because you have very contradictory views of things while being super urban with the “nagual reality” all mixed. And I think that the value of this chapter may be only the funny, 'almost a prank' side of it. I think for moments that PON is trying to delude unaware readers with this ebook... I do not know. I think it is gross because you are touching something out of context for love. You take the most gross meaning of “fight”, “contest” and “sport”; for the demonic or underdeveloped, the dire straits of super urbanism: inter-communal resentment? After the bathos of all this super urban filler the coping mechanisms are to deny any game in the “nagual reality?” Beyond your super urbanism you do not seem to give hope to your readers in any way.
The only hope in this chapter you bestow it to love but also to a try before you buy your---sort of invented---coping system. There is no God nor demi-gods that can protect and help you of "THEIR" speculation?
Now I will give you an example of what I mean for the web page not being aimed to super human (buddha-hood) persons like I am. After you read the example, think at once this: if you are a person like the one in the example below, how will you develop? You have to do it 'internally' because your endeavor of protospiritual standing has to be done from other planes. By indirectly denying progress in the “nagual reality” and directly denying the struggle, PON denies the personal development that buddhas (or even of eternally conditioned souls) may have achieved through the years.
But when I say, for instance 'other planes' I will not say 'dreaming' unless for lucid dreams. I think the development in the “nagual reality” can be measured for the ability one has for having lucid dreams only, because the others... “YOU KNOW.” It is very dramatic, but this is true: if you have a protospiritual warfare posture towards the world then you are going to need to invest time and energy in fighting in dreams, as well as during waking life. Provided that you have the power to have lucid dreams at will. I am sorry if you start to see me as if I am cloning PON book. But not at all. Sorry, but for now---chapter 8---I think the text is pathetically perfunctory; and almost useless. The author never gave an example like this:
'You are a neutral, pan, enlightened person living in a slum, of back-to-back houses, surrounded by gregarious families of troglodyte laborers who happen to be raksasas, uragas and other sort of demons occupying sub-human bodies. You are roughly surrounded by twenty-five densely tamasic (dense, ignorant, passive, demonic quality) human and sub-human coils that contain a demonic soul each.
And if you do not take on account the walls, you have them at ten feet, twenty feet of distance and so on, but not more than, say, forty feet. Meaning that the reaching out of the minds makes your minds mix. They victimize you, out of envy, resentment and jealousy. You try to not think of them, but they manifest, repulsively, attracting your attention and then, say, seven or eight of them, all at once attack you mentally: stealing your energy, thinking with your head or insidiously depriving you of sleep, or trying to adjudicate you their emotional flatness.'
How does one to cope with that? Note that I am not saying that a buddha is not at a loss in a situation like this, if what she/he truly wishes is to have a good night of sleep. Perhaps she/he is less at a disadvantage than a conditioned soul but it may prove very annoying anyway! If you are like the liberated person of the example and you do not enjoy living in a spiritually warring way the best thing, perhaps the only thing you can do to solve your situation is moving to a place with persons with whom you share love, roots, culture, religion or character, or something that makes life worthwhile. Or to move to a place with no people at all, until you know more in which zone of society you want to live.
