The Origin of the Nagual

[grandspeculator]

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.
The Sorcerers of antiquity "crime" wasn't their addiction to the inorganics realm. That was just a symptom of a greater sickness.




They were negative sorcerers or black magicians. They used their knowledge for manipulation and harming others. Remember the visit of Carlos to the "Death
Defiers" (the buried-alive sorcerers of antiquity)?? The nice old sorcerers tried to grab Carlos and kill him for his energy.




They were morbid and indulgent. They didn't want freedom, they wanted power over others. The inorganics provide it and they used it for their purposes.
Castaneda was somewhat like that and he almost pay the ultimate price of dealing with inorganics... being destroyed and trapped in that realm for good.




Don Juan and his party saved him from a fate worst than death: An "eternity" of entrapment... and, if what I read is true, the slow dissolution of
his causal body (involution).
