Parallels

 

Toltec knowledge reproduced by Carlos Castaneda in emotional and metaphorical form aims at achieving the 3rd attention and freedom. In the ultra-modern scientific model of the human psyche and its practical application - "Adequate Self-Regulation", the main objective is to achieve freedom too (in its concrete form). Although the means of achieving them are very different, not to mention the basic terms and terminology, there are striking parallels, coincidences.

For example, in Toltec knowledge, acquirement of impeccability and personal power are mastered with the help of composure, equanimity; in the Adequate Self-regulation, in fact, the same equanimity is achieved much easier and faster by the development of 1 and 2-nd steps. Simultaneously it provides control over inspiration emergence.
