He circled the second, which he had drawn right above number one.

He then moved his twig back and forth between the two points to portray a heavy traffic.
"There are, however, six more points a man is capable of handling," he said.
"There are, however, six more points a man is capable of handling," he said.
"Most men know nothing about them."
He placed his twig between points one and two and pecked on the ground with it.
"To move between these two points you call understanding. You've been doing that all your life. If you say
you understand my knowledge, you have done nothing new."
He then joined some of the eight points to the others with lines;
you understand my knowledge, you have done nothing new."
He then joined some of the eight points to the others with lines;
the result was a long trapezoid figure that had eight centers of uneven radiation.
"Each of these six remaining points is a world, just like feeling and understanding are two worlds for you,"
he said. "Why eight points? Why not an infinite number, as in a circle?" I asked.
I drew a circle on the ground. Don Juan smiled.
"As far as I know there are only eight points a man is capable of handling. Perhaps men cannot go beyond that.

Chapter 7 Part 1
"The Preliminaries of "Seeing"
[8] It is by the time we've arrived at this little chapter whether we know that we've still missed the boat or not. There certainly is a glitch in the Matrix, as if that is not what we've been saying all along is not what we thought Deja Vu was. One thing twice or half doubled. How many cats is that? Start counting from 255 to the first 2, 0. The Cheshire cat who leaves a smile in the wake of a spoon that is not there. We have to count 'none' at least once to get 2.
