I'd love to hear everything she has to say Abe. I'm not suspicious of the old "let's dig all the dirt we can on Castaneda"routine; merely tired of it.
I still think the info will show that he was a man. And to that end I'll not likely be surprised. I guess it would be equally interesting to study the illicit affairs that Albert Einstein supposedly had; or the type of lentils that Plato enjoyed.
Yes, if she could corroborate reports of Castaneda visiting an old sorcerer, that would be fun; but not enlightening either way. She of course is as reliable a source of information as Castaneda. It would be a live woman's word against a dead man's. For what that would be worth.
And the whole exercise would be one properly set in the First Attention: an area that interests me less and less as the years go by. My situation demands that I reference the world from the Second Attention. I still find myself flirting around with the First Attention. It is only flirting though and not a serious affair anymore..
