Hi Seeitall,




"Juan Matus didn't give a *** about 'Carlos Castaneda'."




I don't know if he did or didn't. If Carlos acted the way he portrayed himself in the books, he would not have been my best friend either.


But I think don Juan felt and tried to live up to the responsibility to a student either way. It didn't mean he had to go out for beers with him on
weekends.




"You know, they always said people have this split between mind and body---this imbalance, this 'mindbody problem.' But the real dichotomy is
between physical body and energy body. We die without having ever awakened that magical Double,"




We have lots of splits and dichotomies.




" and it hates us for that. It hates us so much it eventually kills us."




You even talk about it as if it were a separate personaility. That indicates a split right there.




" That's the whole 'secret' of sorcery: accessing the Double for abstract flight. Sorcerers jump into the void of pure perception with their
energy body."




One of them anyway.
