The low astral level entities
To a dreamer familiar with the work of Castaneda these beings are well known. Their state of consciousness has been presented as superb and their powers likewise. The lineage Castaneda belongs to is heavily dependent on these beings and their energy, it seems.
Viewing these beings from the outside of the lineage of sorcerers of antiquity and from a more unbiased standpoint, however, these beings are hardly superb in any way.
They are low-level astral beings, which means that they have little or no regard for the true well-being of others, they are self-serving, manipulating, and self-centered beings that are always on the hunt for more energy. Their true state of consciousness is not high or deep enough to be self-sufficient or liberated and so they need energy from the outside.
But let us listen to the words of such entities, through the voice of a dreaming emissary.
My first contact with this kind of inorganic beings happened at least 15 years ago. It was in a lucid dream where I was approached by some unknown entity that did not reveal its true form to me but remaining "behind", kept talking to me, persistently trying to convince me that it was a "lucid dreaming master". Now I know it was a dreaming emissary, trying to sell whatever it was selling at the time.
Fast-forward to the present.
Now, the dreaming emissary is still a part of my awareness but the picture is completely different. After traveling to that realm lots of times and integrating dreaming attention into everyday awareness (and vice versa), the voice of dreaming emissary is always available, including the waking hours.
I used to talk to the dreaming emissary a lot but after entering the Maya Lineage and receiving teachings directly from a Maya Seer, things changed considerably. The exchange below reflects that somewhat.
In one of such sessions, I first calmed down, bringing the internal chat almost to a full stop and called the emissary. After a familiar slight change in perception and feeling, I heard:
Yes, I am here.
I never really trusted these beings, so I learned to check who and what I am talking to every single time, in dreaming and during waking hours as well:
Are you an inorganic being?
Yes, I am.
Are you a demon or dark djinn?
No and no.
Are you an angel?
No.
Are you a black death defier?
No.
(at least twice thus far, once in dreaming and once in waking hours, the dreaming emissary just withdrew and a more powerful dark death defier took over its part in our dialogue. So I remain alert.)
Are you a being from the realm nek-tsha?
Yes.
Are you a dreaming emissary?
Indeed I am.
OK. You are not to speak unless spoken to.
You are only to answer my questions with short and clear answers.
OK?
Yes.
You are not to comment on my thoughts or my state of awareness neither here nor in dreaming, ever!
OK?
Yes.
You will never initiate a conversation with me, ever!
OK?
Yes.
Also, you will never ever shift or move my assemblage point without me commanding you to.
Do I make myself crystal clear?
Yes.
(these beings are manipulative and self-serving, and being low-level astral beings, they really don't care about others. And if you let them take the initiative, they can convince you of anything, hypnotizing you with their astral energy. It feels great but it yields no progress along the path to freedom, no progress at all, in my experiences)
If you test my resolve, you know what I am completely willing to do, right?
Yes (its voice was meek).
You will voice your intent to never ever contact me again and to never ever visit my realm again.
Yes. So keep your peace until I ask you for something.
<silence>
OK. Tell me exactly who you are and what is your relationship with me.
After a while I hear:
I am impersonal energy projected into your awareness from a universe outside of your own.
Our relationship with you is based on mutual benefits. We provide you with energy and knowledge and you provide us with your awareness.
Me: Why are you referring to yourself as "I" and "us"?
Because I am just an impersonal force, backed up with many of us. When you visit our realm, there is always one of us there to greet you, a separate being if you will, but as a dreaming emissary, I am just a voice of many.
Me: How would you describe yourselves?
Stationary beings, powerful and willing to share knowledge and energy.
Me: Do you lie?
<silence>
After a while:
In certain circumstances, I do not say the whole truth as it would overwhelm you.
(yeah right, I thought. LOL)
Me: Are you aware of your position as a low-level astral being?
Yes, of course.
Me: So, you are aware that there are more evolved beings out there?
Yes.
Me: You trap dreamers in your world?
No. We can not trap or force anyone to stay with us. Everyone that is staying with us is here because they choose to.
Me: But you do try to convince dreamers and other beings that it is great to stay with you?
Yes, it is great to live here.
(there was interference from my apartment at that point. I continued some 5 mins later)
Me: Yes, I understand, I said.
Me: So tell me about those higher inorganic beings you know.
You call them dark djinn or demons. They are more powerful than us because they integrate elemental Earthly energy into their awareness.
Higher astral level beings

| Paimon |
As it did in some situations before, the dreaming emissary just withdrew and a more potent spirit took its place in our conversation. In this case, it was a powerful spirit called Paimon.
I have had a long relationship with this spirit (from Goetia operations) so there was an air of familiarity in his presence.
Our exchange continued as follows:
Paimon:
You know what I speak about.
Me:
Indeed I do.
Why did you jump in like this?
Paimon:
I wanted to contribute to the conversation and to the clarity of the subject of, what you call, inorganic beings.
Me:
OK, now tell me what is your relationship to the lower IBs from the nek-tsha and what is your relationship with me.
Paimon:
I have no relationship with your dreaming emissary or with any of the spirits there. I reside far beyond their reach.
With you, I have a relationship that benefits you, mostly. I need none of your energy, your awareness is limited and your power likewise.
I am in contact with you because you first summoned me to work in other operations.
Me:
How does our contact benefit me, in your opinion?
Paimon:
I contribute to your mental body, bringing out your emotional and mental disharmonies. That way, you have more energy at your disposal and you can progress faster.
Every time you contact me, I help you with a boost of mental or higher astral energy that enables you to advance faster...
...if and when you manage to process your inner disharmonies.
After a while he continued:
There are higher beings in existence and you have to let go of my help, sooner or later, if you want to go beyond the astral level of existence.
Nothing new, I thought to myself, out loud I said:
What is the trick, how can I do that? And, what do you get out of our cooperation?
Paimon:
Two things you can do:
1. Enter samadhi as much as possible (stopping internal chat is not enough).
2. Recognize your own limitations, your own self-importance, and stop believing you are in any way advanced being.
Ouch.
He continued:
What I get from our cooperation is beyond your capacity to give me. You are, just as I am, influenced by a higher or the highest power and that is what contributes to me.
Me:
You mean, God?
Paimon:
The Source of Illumination, yes. For you, it is God. For me, not so much.
Me:
Tell me about the integration of dark energy, organic energy.
Paimon:
It is a dangerous endeavor, to say the least. That's why most humans don't even know about our existence, for we are Earth-bound, and by higher-order combine or integrate most dense (dark, negative, from your point of view) energies from your Earthly existence with the Angelic awareness.
That means that when you contact me, both are stimulated.
And herein lies the danger: you can become an egomaniac, self-serving idiot that can not tell the difference between good and bad.
Me:
<silence>
I thought to myself, he is right, there were times when I really believed I was at the top of the world.
The Maya seers helped me to get off the self-created throne.
Paimon, he read my thoughts, of course:
Exactly.
Spirits like me are not evil, bad, or anything of that sort. We are not self-greedy spirits like your friends from the low astral realm.
There are others, of course, predatory spirits in nature and posed to manipulate your mental, not only astral, energy.
Me:
Black death defiers?
Paimon:
No. Those are low-level astral beings easy to avoid.
Me:
Who then?
Paimon:
Parasites from the higher astral level of existence, you know them by the name Flyers, parasites.
Me:
Yes. How to get away from them?
Paimon:
You can't, not on your own. You need help from above, which you are getting.
I understood that he meant the help I am receiving from my Maya lineage.
It was here that our exchange stopped. I had no more energy to spare and no more questions to ask. Paimon, one of my favorite spirits, a truly friendly spirit (as we can see in our exchange) has left after I gave him a license to depart.
That was it.
Conclusion
Low astral level beings and higher-level astral beings are real, they are not a figment of my or your imagination, and neither are inner disharmonies that attract these astral beings.
What to do?
Well, indulgence in feeling great, and addiction to low astral (emotional) and higher astral (mental) energy is serious obstacle.
One-pointedness, sincerity, and the company of truly spiritual beings (Angels, various god-forms, true Masters of Wisdom) - all of that is a path that goes on and on, all the way to complete freedom...
...exactly what Maya have attained.

A word of caution:
Paimon and some other "demons" (not a term I would use with Him as He is not evil or negative at all!) are mostly friendly (when you learn how to control them) but their mere presence can disorient you in so many ways nonetheless.
I encourage you, dear visitor, to NOT indulge in working with these spirits unless you are already way beyond the reach of the low astral level beings (beyond the realm Castaneda has trapped himself in, for example, and beyond the reach of the spirits that dwell therein).
There are many ways to learn how to handle these spirits.
Good luck!
