Detachment and Warrior/Sorcerer Facing Death Detachment / Facing Death / Impermanence Don Juan taught that every bit of knowledge that becomes power carries death at its center. Awareness of death tempers the warrior’s spirit, freeing him from fear and attachment. To live as a man of knowledge is to act fully in the moment, yet without clinging, knowing nothing lasts forever. Bitcoin mirrors this teaching. Prices rise and fall, markets wobble, yet the long-term vision is steady. Panic and greed sway the unready; patience and awareness temper the disciplined. To hold keys, to transact, to watch the chain — all require embracing impermanence and acting with measured calm. Detachment is not indifference. It is clarity, presence, and the courage to act despite uncertainty. Life is fleeting. So is each market cycle. A warrior and a hodler alike thrive when the heart is steady, aware of impermanence, and unshaken by transient events. #Bitcoin #BTC #Timechain #Castaneda #DonJuan #Will #WarriorPath #Detachment #Impermanence #Freedom #Energy Block Height — 913111

Will: The Warrior’s Power A sorcerer/warrior waits for his will. Bitcoin mirrors this: holding keys, staying patient, acting despite noise — all require disciplined will. Strong desire can mislead the unready; will keeps the path steady. #Bitcoin #BTC #Timechain #Castaneda #DonJuan #Will #WarriorPath #Freedom #Energy Block Height — 913110

Will and the Warrior/Sorcerer Path Don Juan taught: “A sorcerer/warrior knows that he is waiting for his will. Will is a power. And since it is a power it has to be controlled and tuned.” Will is not desire, not stubbornness — it is the quiet force that aligns action with destiny. A sorcerer/warrior does not waste energy chasing whims; he waits, sharpens, and when will arrives, he acts with precision. Bitcoin, too, is born of will. Not the wishful thinking of fiat, but a patient, incorruptible alignment: energy into proof-of-work, blocks into time. To hold keys is to honor that will; to stay the course amidst storms is to trust it. Price swings, fear, and noise belong to desire. Bitcoin endures by will — steady, disciplined, beyond approval or attack. The path of knowledge requires will. The path of Bitcoin requires will. Both teach the same lesson: wait, watch, and when the moment comes, act impeccably. #Bitcoin #BTC #Timechain #ProofOfWork #Castaneda #DonJuan #Will #WarriorPath #Impeccability #Freedom #Energy Block Height — 913107

Does the Path Have a Heart? — Bitcoin as the Path With a Heart ⸻ Does the Path Have a Heart? Don Juan taught that all paths lead nowhere, yet one question matters: does this path have a heart? A path with a heart brings joy and strength, a path without drains and destroys. Fiat is a path without a heart: inflation erodes value, trust decays, control suffocates. Many walk it without asking, and it wears them down in silence. Bitcoin is the path with a heart: open, incorruptible, carved by proof-of-work, sustained by those who choose freedom. To hold keys, to run a node, to send sats — each step is a joyful resistance. The sorcerer/warrior knows: it is not the destination, but the walking itself that matters. In choosing a path with a heart, one becomes aligned with life, energy, and freedom. Bitcoin is such a path. And running a Bitcoin Knots node supports keeping it that way! #Bitcoin #BTC #Timechain #ProofOfWork #Castaneda #DonJuan #Sorcery #PathWithAHeart #Freedom #Energy Block Height — 913074

Old Age: The Fourth Enemy of a Man of Knowledge Old age cannot be defeated, only resisted. For the sorcerer/warrior it is the pull to rest, to give up the path. For Bitcoin, entropy is the same enemy: neglected keys, abandoned nodes, fading vigilance. The path is sustained only by those who keep walking. #Bitcoin #BTC #Timechain #ProofOfWork #Castaneda #DonJuan #Sorcery #OldAge #Entropy #Energy #Freedom Block Height — 913074

Clarity: The Second Enemy of a Man of Knowledge Clarity is the second enemy of a man of knowledge. It pierces the veil of fear but can mislead if untempered. When a sorcerer/warrior sees too clearly, they may yield to certainty, impatience, or overconfidence. Bitcoin reflects this principle. Clarity alone is not enough; understanding the network is essential, but action must be measured. One may see the ledger, the blocks, the proof-of-work, yet acting impulsively can still undo years of careful accumulation. True mastery comes from using clarity with patience, waiting for the right moment, and letting intent guide every key held, every satoshi moved. The man of knowledge knows: clarity is a tool, not a weapon against himself. Harness it, respect it, but never trust it blindly. In Bitcoin and in sorcery, misapplied clarity can turn insight into folly. #Bitcoin #BTC #Timechain #Sats #Castaneda #DonJuan #Sorcery #Clarity #Intent #Freedom #Energy Block Height — 913002

Fear: The First Enemy of a man of knowledge Fear lurks in learning and in action. The sorcerer/warrior faces it. Bitcoin mirrors this: fear of loss is constant, yet holding keys, confirming blocks, sending sats — all require stepping forward despite uncertainty. Courage is aligned intent, action beyond fear. #Bitcoin #BTC #Timechain #Sats #Castaneda #DonJuan #Sorcery #Fear #Intent #Freedom #Energy Block Height — 912994

Dreaming and Intent Dreaming is not mere sleep — it is the art of shifting awareness, of navigating infinity with intent. The sorcerer/warrior learns that intent, not will, is the force that moves the world. Bitcoin, too, is a dream given form by intent. A white paper became code, code became a network, a network became a living intent moving through time. Proof-of-work is intent crystallized in energy. To hold Bitcoin is to participate in this dreaming — to align one’s energy with an incorruptible intent that reaches beyond individual life. Dreaming and Bitcoin both teach: reality bends not to wishes, but to impeccably aligned intent. ⚡ #Bitcoin #BTC #Timechain #ProofOfWork #Castaneda #DonJuan #Dreaming #Intent #Energy #Freedom #Impeccability Block Height — 912965

Recapitulation For the sorcerer/warrior, freedom requires energy. But our energy is scattered — trapped in old memories, regrets, wounds, and unfinished conversations. Recapitulation is the practice of reclaiming it. We revisit the past, not to indulge it, but to release it. Each remembered breath untangles the cords binding us to what no longer is. Bitcoin, too, demands this discipline. Every node recapitulates the chain, block by block, verifying what was. It doesn’t cling to memory out of sentiment — it validates, confirms, then moves on. The ledger is complete only because nothing is left unresolved. For us, it is the same. Only when we face our past directly can we move freely into the unknown. Only by recapitulating can the sorcerer/warrior stand whole in the present. #Bitcoin #BTC #Timechain #ProofOfWork #Castaneda #DonJuan #Recapitulation #Energy #Freedom Block Height — 912947

Most live with their assemblage point locked, mistaking one view for reality. The sorcerer/warrior shifts it — seeing energy instead of objects, freedom instead of control. Bitcoin is such a shift: money revealed as time and energy, secured by proof-of-work. Once the assemblage point moves, the old world can never look the same again. ⚡ #Bitcoin #BTC #ProofOfWork #Energy #Freedom #Perception #Castaneda #DonJuan #Sorcery #AssemblagePoint Block Height — 912866

Shifting the Assemblage Point For the sorcerer/warrior, perception is not fixed. The assemblage point — that place where the world coheres into meaning — can move. Most live their entire lives with it locked in place, convinced their view is the only view. The sorcerer/warrior learns to shift it, to see the world anew. Bitcoin is also a shift of the assemblage point. Most are trapped in the financial system’s default perception: banks, credit, debt, control. They cannot imagine money outside this mold. But Bitcoin nudges the assemblage point — revealing value as energy, freedom, time secured by proof-of-work. Each movement of perception is unsettling. It destabilizes the predator’s world, makes old truths look absurd. But this is the path: to let go of certainty and enter fluidity. To shift the assemblage point is to refuse the prison of consensus. To see with fresh eyes. To encounter reality not as an object, but as raw energy. Bitcoin is not just money — it is a new way of perceiving human coordination, trust, and responsibility. The sorcerer/warrior knows: once the assemblage point shifts, nothing looks the same again. ⚡ #Bitcoin #BTC #ProofOfWork #Energy #Freedom #Perception #Castaneda #DonJuan #Sorcery #AssemblagePoint #Responsibility Block Height — 912861

Death as an Advisor Death stands at our left shoulder, whispering: remember, time is short. For the warrior, this is not terror — it is clarity. With death as advisor, each act must be impeccable. Nothing can be postponed. Bitcoin reflects the same truth. Keys lost are gone forever. Blocks march forward without pause. The network offers no pity for the careless. Time does not rewind. Every satoshi preserved, every backup made, is an act under death’s gaze. The timechain itself is a reminder: energy spent, never to return, yet preserved as proof forever. To live with death as advisor — in sorcery or in Bitcoin — is to live awake. #Bitcoin #BTC #Timechain #ProofOfWork #Energy #Freedom #Impeccability #Castaneda #DonJuan #Sorcery #NoPity #Responsibility Block Height - 912781

The warrior’s task: silence the internal dialogue. Words inflate the self, but action shapes reality. Bitcoin is the same — the network ignores talk, it validates proof. Keys, blocks, satoshis: stillness in motion. ⚡ #Bitcoin #BTC #Timechain #ProofOfWork #Castaneda #DonJuan #Silence #Freedom Block height - 912698 (soon)

The Internal Dialogue The internal dialogue is the first jailer. It measures, compares, judges, and explains. It convinces us that words are reality — that the chatter is truth. The sorcerer/warrior learns to break from this habit. To silence the voice is not to lose oneself — it is to discover the self beneath. When the dialogue ends, perception expands. Action becomes pure. Bitcoin embodies this lesson. The network does not argue. It does not explain. It ignores talk, theory, promises, and decrees. It listens only to proof-of-work. Every block is a silence. Every satoshi earned is action beyond words. The chain is incorruptible because it does not hear the chatter — only the work. To live without internal dialogue is to move cleanly through the world. To engage Bitcoin is to accept the same path: no excuses, no stories, no pity. Only proof. Only freedom. ⚡ #Bitcoin #BTC #Timechain #ProofOfWork #Freedom #Castaneda #DonJuan #Sorcery #InternalDialogue #Silence Block Height — 912682

Impeccability and the Place of No Pity For the sorcerer, impeccability is the only path. It does not mean perfection — it means acting with clarity, with responsibility, with no waste of energy. From this stance, one can enter the place of no pity: a way of seeing without sentimentality, without excuses, without self-pity. Life is finite. There is no time for illusions. Bitcoin reflects this discipline. Keys must be held with care. There are no bailouts, no pity for lost passwords, no sympathy for forgotten backups. The protocol is incorruptible. It demands responsibility, and in return, it grants freedom. Each block is an exercise in impeccability: proof-of-work carved into time. Each satoshi preserved is energy aligned with intent. The network offers no pity, but it offers fairness. It does not care who you are — only that your action is real. To walk this path — in sorcery or in Bitcoin — is to live without waste. To stand firm in the face of impermanence. To laugh at the self, to respect energy, and to act impeccably with death as an advisor!⚡ #Bitcoin #BTC #Timechain #ProofOfWork #Energy #Freedom #Impeccability #Castaneda #DonJuan #Sorcery #NoPity #Responsibility Block Height — 912547

The Predator’s Perception We inherit a way of seeing the world as objects: things to possess, control, and consume. This is the predator’s perception. The warrior/sorcerer learns to undo this. To see energy, not objects. To trust experience, not certainty. This is not theory — it is transformation. Bitcoin also breaks the predator’s view. It is not a stock, not a commodity, not something to be owned by decree. It is flow, energy, proof-of-work. The predator cannot corrupt it — only meet it on its own terms. Freedom begins when we stop believing the mold is all there is. ⚡ #Bitcoin #BTC #Satoshi #ProofOfWork #Timechain #Nostr #Energy #Freedom #Castaneda #DonJuan #Sorcery #Perception Block Height — 912526 ⚡ ⚡ ⚡

“Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.” —Alan Watts Don Juan teaches that the internal dialogue is the root of this trap: the constant chatter that insists on defining, measuring, explaining. Bitcoin offers a mirror. Keys are not accounts, they are declarations. The network does not care for definitions—it acknowledges presence. Turn off the internal dialogue. Do not seek to define. Hold your keys, accept responsibility, and walk lightly. Each block is a reminder from death that time is precious. Each zap is a small gesture of recognition that freedom does not need definition—only practice. ⚡ #Bitcoin #dreaming #castaneda #Don_Juan #sorcery #internal_dialogue #freedom #energy #BTC Block Height - 912408

Don Juan teaches that the internal dialogue is the root of distraction, the voice that constantly measures, judges, and inflates the self. In Bitcoin, this lesson takes a practical shape: keys, not words; responsibility, not ego. Each satoshi mined, each block confirmed, becomes a practice in stillness. The network does not ask for permission. It does not listen to chatter—it listens to action. Turn off the internal dialogue. Observe the flow of the timechain. Laugh at the absurdity of control. Offer a zap to acknowledge presence (that would be much appreciated!)

The Social Mold of Perception Our world is inherited perception. We are trained to process raw awareness into a mold — a certainty that reality is nothing but hard objects. Bump into them, and they resist us. “See? It’s real.” But this mold is not truth. It is only inheritance. The sorcerer sees beyond, perceiving energy itself. Objects are secondary, energy is primary. Bitcoin reminds us of this. The fiat system enforces its mold with laws, banks, and ledgers of debt. But the chain reveals another base: energy in its rawest form, bound into blocks, self-verifying, incorruptible. When we accept the mold blindly, we are trapped. When we see energy, we are free.
