I've written this over and over in many ways, but I feel the need to write it again. Maybe this time you will finally 'see'
it:
In the early days when Castaneda's works became popular he was a very public figure. One of the main reasons his books were accepted
as non-fiction was because of the fact that Castaneda (((OBVIOUSLY))) portrayed himself as he actually was. If Carlos portrayed himself in a way that was not
consistent with the way people knew him to actually be then everyone who knew him would have been calling Castaneda a fraud from the very beginning. The fact
that they did not do so makes it clear that Carlos Castaneda was giving a painfully accurate portrayal of himself in his books.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING HERE?
Carlos Castaneda was giving an honest portrayal of himself in his books and how he would react to such teachings imparted to him by
(((ANYONE)))
If Carlos was spouting out don Juan philosophy before he actually purportedly met the sorcerer, don Juan, those who knew him would have
been screaming (((FRAUD))) from the very beginning! The fact that the did not do so was very powerful evidence that there actually was a don Juan who imparted
the inner workings of ancient shamanistic sorcery in the modern world.
Does this mean that everything Castaneda wrote was absolutely true? Don't be ridiculous! Is everything you see on the television
news true? Is everything written in all the purported "holy books" true? I wouldn't bet on it if I were you.
So, the question for the wise is: What is useful to you as an individual? If something is useful then by cracky use it, fer Christ's
sake. If not then don't use it. The fools who reject useful knowledge because they don't like the proverbial packaging it is in are very numb dumb cult
brainwashed. Christians who reject true and useful knowledge purportedly imparted by the Buddha are fools indeed for there are many useful lessons in the
teachings of the Buddha. The wise will use all that is good and wholesome to improve the quality of their lives.
Oh well….
We're all proverbial 'Bozos' on this bus of life so we might as well laugh for there is no indication, I have seen, that
life is supposed to be taken seriously. If there is a God He has one heck of a painfully brutal sense of humor, let me tell you!
