Every time someone does something for the general good it will find resistance (gross and subtle). Not only Castaneda was trashed: he was attacked... even by
the witches of his party!
Still, he wasn't impeccable. And I insist: With his training he could have done a better job. He could have been a literal Death Defier or live to be a
hundred and write a dozen more books. The predatory nature of the universe is not an excuse for his failure.
He didn't produce, directly, a single nagual apprentice or leader. His line ended with him.
Yet he planted the seeds for many others. For that I'am grateful. He is, in my "list", a great benefactor for us the seekers of the unknown.
