The nagual is the part of us which we do not deal with at all. [It] is the part of us for which there is no description–no words, no names, no feelings, no knowledge. (Power, 125)

The nagual is at the service of the warrior. It can be witnessed but it cannot be talked about.
The nagual is there, he said, there surrounding the island. The nagual is there, where power hovers. (Power, 126)

Man doesn’t move between good and evil…his true movement is between negativeness and positiveness. (Power, 127)

I have named the tonal and the nagual as a true pair. That is all I have done. (Power, 128)

{The nagual] is aware of everything. That’s why I am interested in your account. What you call lapses and feelings is the nagual. In order to talk about it we must borrow from the island of the tonal. therefore is is more convenient not to explain it but to simply recount its effects. (Power, 130)

…In the life of a sorcerer it was the nagual that was accountable for creativity. (Power, 137)

The nagual is not experience or intuition or consciousness. Those terms and everything else you care to say are only items on the island of the tonal. The nagual, on the other hand, is only effect. The tonal begins at birth and ends at death, but the nagual never ends. The nagual has no limit. (Power, 140)

The motion of the nagual (Power, 156)

The affairs of the nagual can only be witnessed with the body, not the reason. (Power, 157)

I know how to get to the nagual and you don’t. But once I had gotten there I have no more advantage and no more knowledge than you.
The nagual is at the warrior’s command. (Power, 164)

The nagual is only for witnessing. (Power, 172)

The road to the nagual –will (Power, 179)

You must be concerned with the nagual only at certain moments, the rest of the time you and I are like all the other people on this earth. (Power, 186)

The actions of the nagual are deadly…if you don’t have enough power to parry the nagula’s onslaughts, you’re dead…(Power, 190)

We can talk about what we witnessed and about how we witnessed it. You want to take on the explanation of how this is all possible, though, and that is an abomination. (Power, 191)

…Just let the whispering of the nagual guide you…The night before I had had two sets of intrinsically different views. One was inexplicable, the other perfectly natural…one was the nagual, the other the tonal. (Power, 208)

You also confirmed something which at this time is even more important than seeing, and that was the fact that you can now place your unwavering attention on the nagual, and that’s what will decide the outcome of the last issue, the sorcerer’s explanation. (Power, 229)

Genaro’s task as your benefactor is to give you undeniable demonstrations of the nagual and to show you how to get to it. (Power, 230)

One should get to the nagual without maligning the tonal, and above all without damaging one’s body. (Power, 245)

What Genaro wanted to show you with that first exercise the other night was how sorcerers use the nagual. There’s no way to get to the sorcerer’s explanation unless one has willingly used the tonal to make sense out of one’s actions in the nagual. Another way of making it all clear is to say that the view of the tonal must prevail if one is going to use the nagual the way that sorcerers do. (Power, 271)

I’ve said to you that the expression of the nagual is a personal matter. I meant that it is up to the individual warrior himself to direct the arrangements and rearrangements of that cluster. (Power, 273)

Reason+nagual+will (Power, 276)

Paradox of luminous beings+tonal+nagual (Power, 278)
