The Mastery of Awareness consisted in internalizing the total sequence of such truths (Fire, 32)

The first truth–there is no world of objects, but the universe of the Eagle’s emanations. Without the order, those truths are nearly incomprehensible. (Fire, 33)

The world out there is not what we think it is, we think it is a world of solid objects when it is not. (Fire, 36)

The world is not an illusion; we learn what to perceive what is really out there are the Eagle’s emanations, fluid, forever in motion, and yet unchanged, eternal. (Fire, 37)

Three sets of six abstract cores
Mastery of Awareness–arranged in increasing level of complexity.

1. Manifestation of the spirit
2. Knock of the spirit
3. Trickery of the spirit
4. The descent of spirit
5. Requirements of intent
6. Handling of intent

(Silence, xviii)

Basic premises
1. The universe is an infinite agglomeration of energy fields, resembling threads of light.
2. These energy fields, called the Eagle’s emanations, radiate from a source of inconceivable proportions metaphorically called the Eagle.
3. Human beings are also composed of an incalculable number of the same threadlike energy fields…giant luminous egg.

Don Juan’s instruction on the art of stalking and the Mastery of Intent depended on his instruction of the Mastery of Awareness, which were the cornerstones of his teachings.

(Silence, xv)

He explained that what new seers saw in the glow of awareness resulted in the sequence in which they arranged the old seer’s truths about awareness. From that they developed the three sets of techniques.
1. The Mastery of Staking
2. The Mastery of Intent
3. The Mastery of Dreaming
