Gonzo dear, then why would DJ say that you can stalk the self?
I said earlier it was another dJ scam...er con...take your pick...one of the most clever teachers around.
Okay, fair enough. But let's just say for the sake of argument this was so. If so, why on earth would DJ say you could stalk the self, when you couldn't? He was an impeccable man. So why would he make up something like this? To deceive? To trick warriors into wasting their time?
What would he have to gain by saying such a thing?
I suggest you scan the books for the word "trick". Don Juan was quite open about the tricks he pulled on Castaneda, and the reason why is because a direct statement about what he was teaching would have been ignored. In my opinion, that technique is far more impeccable than merely pouring information into an empty head.
