The big unanswered question that I have about Sorcery is one that is in regards to people who have never had any contact with inorganic beings, and never
intend to, but are still interested in Nagualism. I understand the attraction people have to it, I just don't understand what some people get out of it.
I mean, what's the payoff? I read The Art of Dreaming, Carlos says that all sorcery is Inorganic, so I get comfy with them and it all makes sense to me.
But the people who don't or can't get in contact with them, what's in it for them? To me, it's like trying to play basketball without the
ball, I don't understand what the point of it is. But, I figure most of Castaneda's readers are that type of Non-Inorganic participant, and they all
aren't out of their minds, so there must be something I'm missing.
