The Warriors' Way can be lonley indeed. There are ways to deal with it; non-human lfe has always been mine. Oh, those long hikes in the desert with don Juan!
Religion-it's really a shame. Instead of being educated to the invisible powers, we are presented with doctrine and dogma aimed at our desires and fears, the worst being respectability. They claim to have answers, but when asked about real problems, the priests always divert. None could or would counsel about Death, at least to me. They tell you to not be of the things of the world, yet look at the Pope; there is none more worldly in today's scene. The Roman Empire lives on in altered form!
I saw a quote on another forum that, 'if it can't be measured, it doesn't exist' (!) That's the other side of the coin.
Anyhow, after reading all or most of Castaneda, I found enough inspiration to want to know more, to understand what he was writing about in total. By that, I found my way to forums like this one. I have grown, thru ups and downs. My conciousness has changed, I see things overlooked before, Power happens. Most importantly, I learned that Self Importance blurs perception and surely does lead a human being into disasters!
The Warriors' Way is like good mental health.
