The Event Horizon

The Nagual said that men, most of the time, cannot tell who emptied them. Women are more fortunate; they know for a fact who emptied them. (Ring, 95)

Don’t put your hands on your chest? Men do that. Women have wombs. They store their feelings there. (See Dagger movement for men) (Ring, 114)

A complete person is one who has never had children. (Ring, 118)

An empty man uses the completeness of a woman all the time. (Ring, 132)

Everything for a woman warrior starts in dreaming. (Ring, 162)

The Nagual told me and the little sisters that during our menstrual cycles dreaming becomes power…a crack opens in front of us during those days…two days before her period a woman can open that crack and step through it into another world.
The reason the Nagual believes women are better sorcerers than men is because they always have a crack in front of them, while a man has to make it. (Ring, 164)

When a woman menstruates she cannot focus her attention. That’s the crack the Nagual told me about. Instead of fighting to focus, a woman should let go of the images, by gazing fixedly at distant hills, or by gazing at water, like a river, or by gazing at the clouds.
…If you half-close [your eyes] and blink a lot and move them from mountain to mountain, or from cloud to cloud, you can look for hours, or days if necessary. (Ring, 247)

Men have to be hooked, women don’t need that. Women go freely into anything…that’s their power and at the same time their drawback. Men have to be led and women have to be contained. (Ring, 300)

Women are more durable. (Infinity,168)

Women in general have a natural bent for the inorganic realm.
Sorceresses are the champions.
Inorganic beings don’t pursue females.
Inorganic beings are female.
The entire universe is female to a large degree.
Sorceresses come and go as they please.
(Dreaming, 188)

Inorganic beings regard the female principle as imperishable. (Dreaming, 246)

Roots: Women with a lion’s tale, men outside their bodies. A child consumes a woman’s root which later becomes a hole. (Eagle, 45)

Women’s womb is both where the attention and the energy for dreaming originate; will (Eagle, 136)

How to sit for dreaming (Eagle, 138)

Men are forced (through fear) to give up their holdings…it is a cinch for a woman. That’s our advantage. (Eagle, 157)

The four types of women (Eagle, 185)

…in all searchings, they never came across a double woman. (Eagle, 221)

The females were never as worried and morose about their fate as were the males.
Females have an inherent balance which is lacking in males.
A woman may kill herself due to lacking direction and purpose, but not because of a failure of a system to which she belongs.
(Eagle, 222)

Double women are really quite rae and they have inner resources that make them highly volatile. (Eagle, 224)

Double being’s great disadvantage Is that by virtue…they are sedentary, conservative, and afraid of change. (Eagle, 228)

Male warriors must be given serious reasons before they safely venture into the unknown, female warriors must have total confidence in whoever is leading them. (Eagle, 245)

For women it takes different configurations of the luminous body to master [dream or stalking]. Men can do both with a degree of ease, yet they could never get to the level of proficiency that the women obtained in each art. (Eagle, 288)

Female warriors in particular fall prey to the lure of the left side. They are so nimble that they can go into the left side with no effort, often too soon for their own good. (Fire, 48)

Female seers have downshifts more often than males…but they are also capable of bouncing out of that position with no effort at all…(Fire,137)

Being a woman, she is infinitely more aggressive and dangerous. (Fire, 143)

…I used you to trick her because she’s powerful and relentless and never forgets. Men are usually too busy to be relentless enemies. (Fire, 212)

I asked him if women could become warriors.
Of course they can, he said, and they are even better equipped for the path of knowledge than men. But then men are a bit more resilient. I would say, however, that, all in all, women have a slight advantage. (Power, 144)
