The nagual doesn't give you the ability to get what you want in the tonal.
When you can command the nagual you have a great deal of power, and people know it intuitively. They feel if they can plunge themselves into the nagual they can get anything they want in the tonal.
Humor is the balance of the tonal. Within the tonal you've got reason and humor. The two balance each other so that the tonal can accept and understand the journeys into the nagual.
You can make all the changes to the island of the tonal you want, you can take excursions into the nagual, but to push yourself into the reordering process is absolutely foolish.
The siddhas are developed through the tonal, not the nagual.
Your tonal must accept that the nagual exists and that it's beneficial and healthy.
Don Juan speaks of the island of the tonal as something that's in the middle of the ocean ... the nagual.
I examine each student carefully: Is there a balance between their tonal and their nagual?
In the training process, the teacher addresses two sides of your being. One is the tonal and one is the nagual.
In the world order, if the nagual dominates and not the tonal, then we'll live in times of fear and superstition.
In no way can words convey the nagual. But they open up the possibility. They allow an admission on the island of the tonal.
Whenever you are in the world of the tonal, you should be an impeccable tonal; no time for irrational crap. But whenever you are in the world of the nagual, you should also be impeccable; no time for rational crap. For the warrior intent is the gate in between. It closes completely behind him when he goes either way
There are two sides to a person's being - the superconscious and the conscious. These have reverberations in the popular works of Carlos Castaneda, in the don Juan terminology of the tonal and the nagual.
Thought is the ultimate tonal. Each thought is like a dike that blocks out the nagual.
As we slam you with more and more devastating blows of the nagual, at the same time, we strengthen and clear the tonal so that it can easily withstand them - so there is no loss in continuity of consciousness.
One can say that the nagual accounts for creativity. The nagual is the only part of us that can create.
Our peasant music, naturally, is invariably tonal, if not always in the sense that the inflexible major and minor system is tonal. (An "atonal" folk-music, in my opinion, is unthinkable.) Since we depend upon a tonal basis of this kind in our creative work, it is quite self-evident that our works are quite pronouncedly tonal in type. I must admit, however, that there was a time when I thought I was approaching a species of twelve-tone music. Yet even in works of that period the absolute tonal foundation is unmistakable.
