MY COMMENT:
I could be wrong, but I have 'seen' over and over and over throughout the years, Carlos Castaneda was terrified that in about 100 years after he died those who would be running Cleargreen would be turning his works into a religion. A scenario would periodically play out in his mind that went something like this:
About 100 years after his death Cleargreen was so successful that they had a statue erected in honor of Castaneda in some outdoor public square. In response, the Spirit of Intent made RUTHLESSLY CERTAIN that no matter how often the statue was cleaned it was ALWAYS covered in layers and layers of bird ****. Eventually someone would ask a Cleargreen representative:
“Why is it that no matter how often Mr Castaneda's statue is cleaned it is alway covered in layers and layers of bird ****?” the response from the Cleargreen representative, “A MIRACLE!! All we need is one more miracle and we intend to go to the Pope and have Castaneda canonized as a saint!!!”
This may seem funny to some, but from what I hear IT WAS NOT FUNNY TO CARLOS CASTANEDA!!! He was so terrified that don Juan's teachings would eventually become a religion that he gave himself over to his dangerous self-indulgences KNOWING FULL WELL that eventually people would find out about the crazy hypocritical things he did in his private life. As a matter of fact CASTANEDA WAS COUNTING ON IT to make absolutely certain that the lessons of don Juan would NEVER eventually become another religion. SUPPOSEDLY, words cannot properly describe how absolutely terrified Castaneda was of the lessons of don Juan eventually becoming another religion!
So, now I shall turn to Christianity as an example. If you read the Gospels of Jesus Christ you will most certainly find there was NO INDICATION WHATSOEVER that Jesus was trying to start another religion. As a matter of fact, you will find that Jesus was ANTI-RELIGION and was doing His best to give the power back to the people WHERE IT BELONGED! Every time you read Jesus saying of the miracles, “Your faith as made you well” that is sign enough that Jesus was doing His best to get people to relay on THEIR OWN relationship with the Divine and NOT ON HIM!!!
Oh, the religious leaders didn't like that one bit!!! It was RELIGION that eventually made certain Jesus was killed. Jesus was a threat to ALL RELIGIONS and in order for religion to survive JESUS HAD TO DIE!!!
Now, we have blind faith Christians who will say, “Jesus said that....”. Fact of the matter is WE CANNOT BE CERTAIN WHAT JESUS ACTUALLY SAID. Just as WE CANNOT BE CERTAIN WHAT DON JUAN ACTUALLY SAID. What we have is what CERTAIN PEOPLE have said what they actually said. This is especially true of the Buddha. From my studies, it was about 100 years after the Buddha died that the monks began recording in written words who the Buddha was and what he said. So people who are absolutely certain what the Buddha actually said ARE GULLIBLE, BLIND FAITH MORONIC IDIOTS!!!
And so it is with all those who are absolutely certain what Krishna actually said, what Jesus actually said, what Allah actually said, what Castaneda's don Juan actually said. You may have BLIND FAITH in your certainty what don Juan actually said, BUT IN FACT YOU DON'T KNOW IF HE ACTUALLY SAID WHAT CASTANEDA CLAIMED HE DID!!!
I feel strongly that the spirit of Castaneda is determined that people rise above the primitive levels of blind faith in ANY INFORMATION THEY HAVE NOT PERSONALLY VERIFIED AS TRUE!!
