I've learned that the most wonderful aspects of The Spirit of Nature are especially attracted to those who radiate tremendously sincere
and heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for all the wonderful things in their lives. The Spirit is more than willing to do wonderful things for the truly
grateful and appreciative.
You make your statements as though the Castaneda series is your only 'holy bible'. If it's in the Castaneda books then it automatically must be
true, right? So if it says that the Spirit takes no volunteers that must be true, right? I've learned that the Spirit makes exceptions whenever it may
choose to do so. It may take a volunteer or it may not depending on the situation. No matter what, if the Spirit chooses to take you as a volunteer don't
expect any 'free rides'. You will most certainly pay for you victories and advances in (((PAIN))). That's what I have learned. Pain is the currency
of the Spirit. You will indeed suffer, but for every pain you can eventually expect to be rewarded with AT LEAST ten pleasures...as long as you don't give
up.
I feel don Juan's line ended because the Spirit felt it did not deserve to survive and continue. That was not a compliment from the Spirit.
Don Juan saved the lesson of love and appreciation for the Earth until the end. It should have been the first lesson upon which all the other lessons that he
taught had their base and axis. If he was wise enough to realize this ALL his teachings would have been much more useful to everyone. Alas, I believe don
Juan's main job was to be a 'pimp' for his "ally" forces who were determined to have replacements. Don Juan was 'tricked' by them
into thinking they would let him go free. It is my belief that don Juan, and his sorcerers, did not deserve the 'eternal rewards' they were hoping to
gain from their coveted "freedom".
From what I have read of your writings I would say you are a lot more like Silvio Manuel than you are like don Juan.
That is not a compliment, Joker.
