I was reding a a very "fascinating" book:
When I first laid eyes on it, I thought it was going to be a single-focused philosophical treatise on the mysterious visual "floaters" that appear before our eyes during various states of consciousness (hint, hint). Well, it's certainly that, and much, much more.
"Breaking Through" combined with "The Lessons of Don Juan" is an apt description...but then it's much, much more.
This highly thought-provoking and thoroughly captivating story features an explorer of consciousness and his ongoing dialogues and experiences with a "seer." As the protagonist loses himself in the intricacies of refurbishing a magical piece of furniture, his consciousness undergoes deeper and deeper transformations. He takes a Thomas Mann-like spiritual journey that ultimately fulfills the reader at many levels. The book serves as a model or metaphor for viewing the world through different perspectives and striving for cognitive "wholeness."
This is a book to be read slowly and savored. Special philosophical nuances and insights will emerge as you digest each scrumptious chapter.
The characters are endearing and get inside your soul. The vivid descriptions of place and setting will make you feel that you are actually there in the European mountains. This is a warm, compassionate and enlightened work that brought tears to my eyes in the final chapter.
Hey you there outside in this castaneda forum...do you also have the feeling the seer nestor could be still alive?

MOUCHES VOLANTES
Eye Floaters
as
Shining Structure of Consciousness
in this book - a mystical story with true elements - a seer nestor is the main actor how advice the author Floco to search the reality behind the entoptic phenomenon "Eye Floaters" which are nothing else than "Voladores"!
What I think after a lot of searching the truth is that this Seer Nestor is the same how is describing in a book of Castaneda...this guy how jumped with carlos together into the abyss. Castaneda come back, but nestor went into the nagual!
Here a describing of the book I found on amazon:
