I never found Castaneda's, or any other books, including religious texts, to be toxic. At least, once I learned to not ingest them , wholly.
It is very good not to injest any texts, period! Even mine! I hesitate to pose here. Knowledge comes from experiencing. You always learn from from the **** too. Evils view is just as real as anyone can make any other point of perspective valid to themselves. As you quote, hawkeye Crow - there is indeed only power. Evil intent (good reference are the biblical sins) is rotten, evil powers.
Hmm!! Filling your head with anothers "facts" only, can surely make one insane! I even know of a man personally who lost his marbles from too much involvement in the concreteness of Carlos' experiences, but in the end I think losing his marbles will be best for him
However - I have found "CCs" stories of the shaman Don Juan to have certain details in common with other human beings experiences globally, including my own! His stories are excellent material to losen up a persons perspective (true or not it really doesnt matter and not worth debating at all, I think), and direct it elsewhere. Its like miracle grow. Then again, influence and our attentions involvement is powerful and bad for fledglings.
