I don't agree that you don't need a teacher once you "learn how to learn". For sorcerers that might be... but for seekers of freedom of the
spirit that kind of pseudo-independence is a self-important trap. If you don't have the right knowledge and guidance you will loose precious time trying to
figure out the way for yourself.
Don't forget folks: The sorcerers of antiquity learned the ways after generations, hundreds, thousands of years of trial and error! We, at this point of
history, don't have the time nor the disposition (the Death Defier was right about that) to do that. Life is to short.
A true teacher/guru/benefactor can take you all the way to freedom. If you don't care about freedom and want to play nagual that's another history.
Can you imagine Carlos Castaneda trying to learn nagualism without the direct guidance of Don Juan?
It's up to power anyway. Very few will find a true teacher... fewer will follow it.
