A ghost? Well... for one thing, you can't punch the guts out of a "ghost".
The Death Defier remains a controversial subject, to say the least... the old seer slash immortal vampire slash father/mother of the lineage of the new
seers. For most people this kind of individual is the worst that you can find... yet he/she started this whole thing.
If he/she were a more "ideal" teacher perhaps it would be easier to digest. It doesn't matter anyway. The Spirit doesn't take volunteers.
The thing is, the death defier didn't want Howard. If he did, then he would have gotten him. Carlos only brought an end to the lineage of
the death defier, he merged with the death defier and they both left together as one being. This was Castaneda's fundamental purpose, to remove the death
defier from the lineage, sacrificing himself to accomplish it. So, now things are back to normal. I did not tell Howard this because I was and am a student
of the death defier, above and beyond anyone else. I saw Howard as an ingrate and whining ****, I didn't want to help him in anyway. But, it really
isn't anybody's fault, the spirit guided everything to work out the way it did. My opinion of anyone is just my opinion. I may not like Howard, but I
figured it was time to at least go on the record about this, sort of get it off my chest. It may or may not be of any value to anyone, but I'm trying not
to withhold any information that I have anymore. Ya, I'm sure Howard would have loved to "punch the guts out" of the tenant, lol. The death
defier got the last laugh anyway, but that's another story.
