I sort of had the intuition from the start that Castaneda wasn't a good apprendice. In most of the books you will see Juan Matus trying constantly to talk some sense to Carlitos. At some point he confesses his true dislike of Carlitos, but thanks him for the lesson of tolerance.
It was the Intent of Power that Castaneda should learn the ways of nagualism... I'am not sure that it was the Intent of Juan Matus.
There is also a rare episode... when one of the witches tries to kill Carlitos in order to take the Power-of-the-Nagual that he got from Juan Matus.
She even says that it was Juan Matus idea and he even put in the details. Lucky Carlitos, his Energy Doble save him.
An interesting loop in Castaneda's Cronicles is the mention of 7 gates of dreaming and the fact that not even Don Juan knew for experience the forth gate of dreaming.
But this issues may be for another posts.
