Oh so wonderful!
All have touched on important issues related to this event. I especially liked Alien's remark about all information being 'out there'.
I have found knowledge embedded in the most unlikely places. Currently, author Anne Rice, in her non-vampire work, and Andre Norton , have resonated with me as to Sorcery abilities . There are others; some who advanced ideas from Buddhism and magic , generations ago. The odd thing about it all, is that this knowledge was common , until erased by the rationalism of Christianity and Islam.
Jessicar, I realize that this whole event is sensational, and journalist do advance their own agendas. It touches upon other thoughts, political and social, not appropriate to this forum. My concern is that, over the years, I have noticed certain attitudes and poses taken by Nagual practitioners. Some of them seem to be dark and destructive. I even have questions about the purposes and ends that Castaneda himself arrived at, which, having nothing to do with those who observed him from the outside, and seem to be evident in his own books. Example: 'The Second Ring of Power'. Why did the witches want to destroy him? Why is it that he was not a full 4 sectioned Nagual luminous 'egg'? What does that say about later events and Cleargreen?
Again, I am gratified by the conversation this thread has created.
