as energy sediment" in places not commonly accessible by the egg. These energy "deposits" must be activated and incorporated into the daily use energy stream, to thus provide the warrior "fresh" power, to be able to come into contact with "another reality", with the immeasurable.

Such that what don Juan taught Castaneda was to save energy in his everyday life. That is, "live as a warrior", this energy savings, along with the re-functionalization of accumulated energy and not used, are the silent knowledge gateway... to eternity.

These exercises were taught by Don Juan to Castaneda without further fanfare for many years, are now recognized as "The magical passes" and according to the author it is attributed to ancient Mexico Toltecs. However, in the book dedication, Castaneda left a cryptic thought:

"Each of the practitioners, when joining forces around it, have put me in contact with energy formulations which neither don Juan nor the shamans of his lineage ever had access to". C.C.

This is why, what Don Juan called "magical passes" or what Castaneda now calls "Tensegrity", is a more advanced "variant" than what the Anahuac Toltecs practiced for thousands of years. At least this is what Castaneda proposes.

Rationally it sounds coherent. We are energy charges and knowledge is nothing more than energy at the luminous egg, it cannot be created or transformed, it can only be "rechanneled". Then, the " Don Juan teachings", are nothing other more than luminous egg energy rechanneling, with which they can penetrate immeasurable and transcendent fields.

This rechanneling is done through Tensegrity, which is a series of magical passes or exercises in certain series, which are intended to stimulate certain energy which is accumulated at specific locations of the luminous egg, these "accumulations" are due to the irresponsible way in which we live or in other words, in the irresponsible way in which we use and we lose our energy.

Since the "luminous egg" cannot get more energy than it has, it is necessary to use what has accumulated by an incorrect way of living. This rechanneling of wasted energy is achieved through some exercises or magical passes, that the practitioner learn as routines in several series. This not used energy "stimulation", produces through long and rigorous practice, stunning effects in the luminous egg and translates into the practitioner mood and consciousness.

The text in question contains an introduction, an explanation of what the magical passes are, another of Tensegrity and finally what he calls "The six Tensegrity series".

He then divided the book in each of the six series with the following titles and subtitles:
