When
I honestly ask myself whether or not I believe that the Carlos
Castaneda from his books would ever do such a thing to another human
being as he did to Victor Sanchez, if Castaneda ever got powerful enough
to do so, I have to emphatically say, "YES INDEED!" I have no trouble
believing that if the Castaneda from his books ever got powerful enough
he would indeed do such things to people. In my opinion, no matter how
much don Juan tried Carlos Castaneda would end up a womanizing petty
tyrant if he ever got powerful enough.
When
I honestly ask myself whether or not the voice of the man in the
YouTube clip sounds like the character of Carlos Castaneda as portrayed
in his books I have to emphatically says "YES" as well. An obnoxious,
annoying, excuse making little twit.
When
I honestly ask myself whether or not such a person could create the don
Juan character from his imagination and accomplish all the amazing
things he did with that character I have to emphatically say, "No
possible way!" There is no way I can imagine that the Castaneda of his
books and from that YouTube clip would ever be able to pull off such a
stunt and earn a Ph. D from UCLA on top of it all. I just can't believe
it
Thus my conclusion is:
THERE WAS A DON JUAN
However
Castaneda embellished don Juan with so many lies that there is no way to know where the truth and the lies separate
I hold to my initial view of this situation:
Either
there was an actual don Juan or Carlos Castaneda was a literary
super-genius. I'm sorry, but I simply cannot believe that Carlos
Castaneda was a literary super-genius. If ANY OF YOU are convinced that
Castaneda made the whole thing up you have no choice WHATSOEVER except
to believe that Castaneda was a literary super-genius, period!
Sorry
folks, but there is no way around this. I've made my choice and my
choice is that there must have been an actual don Juan, but that he did
not do all the things that Castaneda and witches attributed to him
