INTRODUCTION:
It's
been an amazing weekend overdosing on fresh made vegetable juice and
fruit smoothies. It's amazing how wonderful the stuff feels going into
my metabolism. Quite stimulating indeed! Today I just finished drinking
the most amazing pineapple smoothie I have EVER had. Made with organic
pineapple nectar, chunks of REAL, fresh pineapple and an egg. Wow!
That's the stuff alright!
Super Nectar of the Gods!
It
went down great after the powerful workout I put in today. My goal of
becoming more powerful, with Intent, than ever before is slowly being
realized. I was quite shocked to see myself in the big gym mirrors. From
a distance I look like some sort of muscular demi-god or something.
Quite beautiful and impressive indeed! I've never been this muscular
before in my entire life. Super Juiced Out Muscles!

TO JEREMY DONOVAN TBD:
I told you the grounds for the truce between us
and you gave a wimpy wishy washy response to the terms. I'll share them again,
THESE ARE THE GROUNDS FOR THE TRUCE:
I believe there was a don Juan, but I could be wrong
YOU believe there was not a don Juan, but YOU could be wrong
If you agree to these grounds then we are equals and there can be peace between us
________________________________________________
TO JEREMY TBD:
You
do realize the assumption that the reality surrounding us is made up of
dependably solid objects is...fiction. You realize that, right? So,
that makes ALL OF LIFE a fiction. It's not sold and "real" as science
used to teach us reality was. Electrons and atoms are not solid. They
are made of vibrating energy. It was a defective paradigm premise to
believe the world around us is made of solid objects. It was indeed
FICTION and so everything we think we are is in fact mostly: FICTION!
Don
Juan was correct. We are infinitely more than we think we are and what
we call "life" is in actuality an unfathomable mystery. WE are an equal
part of that unfathomable mystery.
To think of life as otherwise is...FICTION.
You probably don't realize that yet, do you?

If you people were winners you would not gloss over this improvement I have made on a don Juan teaching.
The Spirit has helped me to upgrade don Juan's beliefs.
I'm being taught there are greater things in Heaven and Earth than are even dreamt of in don Juan's philosophy towards life
ON ERASING PERSONAL HISTORY:
While
reading Journey To Ixtlan I just recently finished the section where
don Juan strongly recommends that Castaneda erase his personal history
if he really wants to learn about plants. While I agree that TEMPORARILY
erasing personal history, through inner-silence, is essential for
communicating with Mother Nature ALL THAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE is their
personal history. When you meet someone new you strike up a conversation
based on your personal history and their personal history. What are you
supposed to say if a police officer pulls you over and asks for your
ID? That you have no personal history? Get real!
TEMPORARILIY
erasing personal history, through states of inner-silence, is of
paramount importance when directly communicating with plants and the
Spirit of Intent.
ALTERING
our personal history through what we emphasize is sufficient when
dealing with people. For example: suppose you viewed your past by
focusing on the things that went wrong with your associations with
Carlos Castaneda. That is your current personal history, right Jeremy?
Now, how about altering your personal history by focusing primarily on
the good you gained through your association with Carlos Castaneda.
You're not lying. You're just focusing on the good you learned instead
of the bad. It's not lying. It's the same personal history from the
perspective of the good you gained rather than the bad. After all,
Castaneda cured you of needing gurus in your life, right? If you didn't
join Castaneda's cult you would now probably be a member of some other
cult, if they had gotten to you first. Castaneda CURED YOU of needing to
surrender your life to some guru. At the very least you should be
grateful for that and YOU KNOW IT!
It
is no lie to improve one's personal history by changing the emphasis of
what we focus upon. There is nothing wrong in improving one's personal
history through forgiving oneself and everyone else equally. Jeremy's
problem is he can't forgive himself and, consequently, he can't forgive
Carlos Castaneda for being an ****. Be honest, Jeremy. It's not like
Castaneda didn't warn the world as to what type of leader he would be,
right? He gave EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE WORLD ample warning of the type of
leader he would be, right? If YOU took him as your guru in spite of the
warnings YOU MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY for staying in that group.
You should have left the group, but you didn't and now you whine and
complain like some little irresponsible mentally retarded child.

JEREMY DONOVAN TBD WROTE:
I
do not believe that 'anyone could have made don Juan up'. Not at all.
My actual view is that Castaneda was a pretty unusual character. In
fact, I've only met a small handful of people in my life who were
somewhat similar in their ability to make up wild intricate mythologies
like that. Such people are actually rather rare. And I've already
expressed my view that back in the early seventies when UCLA awarded
Castaneda's Ph.D. there was enormously less information available on
Castaneda than there was in the late 90's when SA began to debunk him
more thoroughly. Furthermore, my actual view on de Mille is that some
of his arguments aren't so hot, while others are very good.
MY RESPONSE:
Face
it, Jeremy. Besides Castaneda you have NEVER met ANYONE who could equal
what he did ESPECIALLY if he faked it all. That's a fact and you know
it!
The
problem with UCLA is the problem with organized religions. THEY would
make themselves the authorities as to what books are fiction what books
are not.
I
say ALL BOOKS are fiction until I personally verify them as otherwise
and I say all who are wise will adopt my stance about books and
information imparted by a race of lying hypocrites!
________________________________________________
JUXTAPOSITION OF VIEWS:
I believe if Castaneda made don Juan up and earned a Ph. D he was a super-genius
JEREMY:
YOU believe it took no genius to do it and YOU know who deserves a Ph. D and who doesn't
I say that ALL BOOKS CONTIAIN FICTION. I will no longer believe ANYTHING ANYONE tells me, in books or otherwise, unless I personally and empirically verify the information for myself
YOU apparently say some books are fiction and some are non-fiction
I believe YOU are nuts for holding such beliefs
YOU believe I am nuts for not blindly believing and agreeing with you
So, I'm willing to call it a tie and end this war between us
Whatdayasay,...pal?
BTW: I was being facetious when I said you just got back from your second trip to Greece.
I'm surprised I actually have to tell you this
duh

"why do YOU HAVE TO DEFEND your position? Why? Why focking bother?"
MY RESPONSE:
Because,
unlike YOU, if I am incorrect in my beliefs I want to know so that I
can upgrade them. Obviously, you automatically assumed I didn't have a
good answer for those questions. Since you OBVIOUSLY care nothing about
upgrading the quality of your life you could not see this on your own.
