Book Cover & Preview Text
I met my benefactor in very strange circumstances. It was as a result of a momentary UFO encounter. I did not think much of it at the time but the dreams that ensued caused me to think deeply about the connection. When I first met the great Death Defier and Mayan Seer Quetzalcoatl in the dream state for the first time, he asked me what I would like to realize. Without thinking I said that I would like to have God-realization. As soon as I said that I found myself back in my body again. I asked this several times with the same results and without an explanation.
Eventually he said that if I wanted God-realization, the physical body is the best place to be. In fact it was the only place to be. The problem I had was in the understanding of my own God-Self. All the Gods of mythology and history have been just plain folks. He went further to explain that the Source of Creation is a common source for people and Gods and that It was a place as opposed to a being. To best realize the Source of Creation it is most strategic to be in the physical body for there also is a similar identity that is not realized. The reason for this is there is a great denial upon most about being in a physical body. Most are truly not even in their own physical bodies. If one actually settled down and joined with their own physical body, great realizations would ensue.
I then asked to understand the diversity of the universe. Upon making such a request began a learning experience and an association with a being of power that I could have never foresaw. Time after time, Master Q would show up when I least expected or wanted to influence me in the most impactful ways. A lot of that became the series of books of his own teachings that I received in a very short period of time. It is called 'The Consolidation of Power'. Upon occasion he also groomed me for certain transcendental experiences in order to understand these teachings in a more intimate way. As I was to eventually realize, this also served the purpose to unleash a more universal contact with the teachings. At one time 'The Consolidation of Power' is the dictation and channeling from a higher master being, and in another way it is the stored information of my own cellular consciousness. In order to be initiated into that information it was necessary to have that intimate connection. In order to initiate others it was necessary to have that universal connection.
Each individual has a particular connection with something significant through cellular consciousness. This is the real purpose of the cellular structure. It is to record and store the information of experience that can be transferred to different states of consciousness. This is the purpose of the physical being and why there is the potential for a great intimacy of information and experience as well as an ability to unleash this connection into others for global transformation. In reality, one gathers information and experience to create these different states. Even the information of disembodied states are stored as alternate physical realities in a much larger realm that is not necessarily distinct from the physical body. It is just that, as beings who are in denial of physicality, civilization contains that error and lack of significant impact as well.
The race of the ancient Mayan Seers and the Death Defiers of the Fellowship of the Serpent are systems in which one can gain the intrinsic realization of this significant impact. But don't be put off if such things do not fit into your belief system at this time. There are many ways to uphold the light. This system is just one and one that is not necessarily the most dominant within the Universes upon Universes, but it is the preferred way for those who ascribe to a Warrior's path.
I have had many journeys of power with Quetzalcoalt. In these journeys I have seen those time when our power was whole, yet, according to according to Master Q, the present is the greatest of times. We have all come together to formulate a path out of our common powerlessness at the grassroots level. This is a mighty undertaking. You will learn the necessity for the unwavering vigiliance that you forgot so long ago. In that journey you will never take your power for granted ever again. Herein lies the testimony of my own personal visions that I have clearence to share with you. It may not have the same impact of some of my more illustreous predecessors. I owe a great deal to Carlos Castenada whose books have kept me company when I was totally unsure of myself and had no idea that such worlds really existed. The books of Carlos Castenada do open a gateway to power and that is what they have done for me. It is my hope that I might be able to do the same for others. This will never take the place of such as Carlos Castenada. I believe there is greater power in the addition of such testimony. Some may resent or praise such endeavors, but no one would totally desire isolation from them. It reflects the worthiness of all life. As I had passed through the gate in my own troubled way, so shall you. This is guarenteed. All that is unknown is the time and place.

About the Book
The Scales of the Dragon is a consolidation of the dreaming journeys of power that I have had with my benefactor and mentor, the original Nagual and Death Defier, Quetzalcoatl. It is written as dreams and experiences I have had apart from my mundane affairs. I did not have the benefit of the presence of the Nagual in daily life. The presence of such a being was stronger in dreaming. As such the book may seem fragmented to some. For this very reason the demand is to read closer. There is an essential unity that when understood will take you in a similar direction that I had experienced. The way of the Seer is to see the aspects that are not so apparent upon the surface.
In this book is contained what I understand to be the legacy of a most ancient band of seers. These seers are called the Death Defiers. Castenada talks about them sparingly in 'The Fire From Within' and in 'The Art of Dreaming.' The information of their existence and their worlds were transmitted to me in the most unusual way. Apart from coming in dreaming, it was transmitted through a more fundamental language. This is the language of sentient electricity. I have come to know that I had been trained in another time to be able to take such fundamental currents of sentient energy and translate them into a native tongue. The next step was no less difficult. Once I got the information I had to bring it back with me from dreaming and write it down as accurately as I could.
As I undertook my path I have come to know that there is a larger life that is more physical than the one we lead normally. This is the life that ancient seers have extended themselves into as a means to a greater practicality. In this life I trained as a mnemonic. This is a Warrior training in the process of remembering. Such Warriors fight to remember the most complex and difficult notions under the worst circumstances. I have found that what I have fought to remember is just one part of a larger plan. Others contain similar material. One of the purposes of this book is act as a catalyst for others to realize this possibility within themselves. The groundwork is being formed for the Toltec Renaissance.
As I went through the process of translating, remembering and editing this information a process of development ensued. The visions continued and new information flowed through while in dreaming and while awake as well. Also a line of development that produced results occurred. I had been frustrated in such development by other methods. Even as I admired Castenada's description of the Sorcerers world of Don Juan, I found it inaccessible. On the other hand I had found the approach of the Death Defier very practical and accessible. Many of those practical secrets are contained in the book.
There are many levels in this book. There are different ways to read the book. You can scan through it and accept it is a fantasy. You can read deeper and try to understand its source by applying the knowledge that you find interesting or stimulating. You can recapitulate the descriptions in your own way and utilize them as gateways into those worlds. You can reconcile the knowledge in this book as a part of your own practical intent. You can consolidate its seeming fragmented state into a Seers unified sense and realize a deeper unity within yourself as well. I had to do the same thing as well.
About the Author
This diary of the dreams and visions of Avendar Dragon is the continuing legacy of an exploration that was began by Carlos Castenada. Although there has never been any contact between these two individuals, the reading of Castenada's works has stimulated the author of The Scales of the Dragon with new insights into this most hidden of traditions. There were many events that led Avendar to the meeting with his benefactor and the subsequent entry into the strange worlds of ancient seers. Avendar took on the most rigorous training. This training was not as easy as one that was overseen by an actual benefactor as in the Don Juan Matus Carlos met with regularly. The training was held in other worlds whose only connection to this realm of everyday practical notions is through dreaming or telepathy. Under these conditions Avendar Dragon trained as a Warrior, healer, seer and exorcist.
Quetzalcoatl is the benefactor and teacher of Avendar Dragon. He is known as the Plumed Serpent in the lore and legend of ancient Meso-America. Moreso he is the original Nagual and Death Defier. He was the one that brought esoteric knowledge to the civilizations of the planet Earth that eventually led to the lineage that ended with Don Juan and Carlos Castenada and his cohorts.
There are many contingencies that Warriors have to prepare for. The reason for these contingencies is not clear. All that can be said is that Carlos Castenada and Don Juan was the result of one such contingency. We have come to know other contingencies. Merilyn Tunnesehende and John Black Crow is another. Ken Eagle Feather and his Don Juan is another. Of course Florinda Donner and Taisha Abelar as cohorts of Carlos and Don Juan represent another. Others exist that we do not know of yet. Maybe we never will. Maybe this is something that one has to fall into by the old means of being in the right place at the right time or somehow be chosen by the omens.
Anyway, the contingency of Avendar's story is clearer. Avendar Dragon leads a double life. Most all do, except Avendar makes a place for that in his life. It is a part of an all-consuming search to know a deeper reality that is only partially known in daily mundane existence. There is more. There is another side to life of which the realm of daily existence is a mere shade in comparison. The worlds of the Death Defier is that 'other side.' It is a realm beyond the borders of normal dreams. There is a separate life there that sometimes touches the one of daily existence. This other life is one that has more universal significance. It is not isolated as its counterpart seems to be.
There is nothing that sets Avendar apart from humanity. There is no uniqueness. For that matter, educationally, he is less. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree as the epitome of his educational experience and decided not to continue in the conventional pursuit of knowledge. On the other side he decided to experiment with unconventional means of attaining knowledge. He utilized the sacraments of the 60s in the 70s. As a result of this he had uncovered vast amounts of knowledge that he did not really know what to do with. This knowledge went for nothing as he lost energy in the pursuit of it. He realized that he was slowly dying. It became a matter of recovering the lost energy that had been spent in a reckless pursuit. He had spent more than a quarter of a century seeking to repair the damage. This process led him to a new understanding. He had to start from the grassroots level and had to take that new understanding of the function of transcendence into a new practicality.
