He did that really impeccable and I very thankful for that.
Unlike Dreamways I never meet the guy so its a bit difficult to judge him for me...
Dreamways never meet him. He got an indirect dream-boost from him and saw him several times in dreaming in a trance-state. He meet Taisha, if I
remember correctly, and later on Howard Lee.
As for evualuating him, in the end is about knowing what to do and what not to do. He is gone and whatever right and wrong he did is his evolutionary
problem.
We have our own issues. My idea is avoid his mistakes. Castaneda more than once was doomed and was saved by outer parties.
Perhaps our gratefulness should go also to the ones that kept him alive.
Ya, I only got to see Carlos in person, I didn't get a chance to talk to him. I did have in depth discussions with Kylie and she also
introduced me to Castaneda's agent Tracey Kramer. I met Taisha a couple of times. I saw Florinda but didn't get to speak to her. Went to a few
seminars, said hello to Bruce Wagner once, met a few people from the "inner circle", etc. As far as I can tell, Castaneda's trip was 100% death
defier in nature, whatever he started out doing, he had only one direction left at the end. Hey, whatever floats your boat I guess.
