I have noted this before . Castaneda's writings about perceptions note that many of our perceptions are inaccurate , based on self reflection and FI from
many sources. Scientific research has shown , within a reasonable margin of error , that eyewitness testimony of criminal events is largely UNRELIABLE.
This led to a death row project at the University Of Chicago , a decade ago , that resulted in the release of many persons on death row in Illinois , as well
as a moratorium on executions. Evidence compared to DNA samples was the reason for these releases. Also , torture and police pressure resulted in false
confessions .
Know this: You , anyone , can be in the wrong place at the wrong time ( even if you think you are such an impeccable sorcerer!) , and be caught up in a
dragnet. YOU can be put on death row even though all the witnesses admit a mistake. Then , your fate is in the hands of the court, judges , bored and jaded
with no concern for justice.
Maybe Death is an adviser , but Death on the left hand is no joke. There but for fate go you and I.
