Carlos failed to unmanifest.
If Don Juan did unmanifest bodily then someone left out something somewhere because the "source of power" or realm of operation needed for that act
was way beyond what Don Juan was teaching Carlos.
On the other hand you asked why a teacher would teach a student about sorcery when he did not agree with it.
I believe Carlos was up to his neck in **** and Don Juan needed to at least help him "tread water"even if he could not pull him out.
"I feel that there is alot of "sensitve" information that Castaneda left out of his dialogs with Don Juan. Maybe it's my undoing, but I want
to examine the scene of the old sorcerers "crime" before I take sides on the issue."
Going "slumming", Eh? Be sure of your protection beforehand would be my advice.
