In my opinion the only real goal described by don Juan was achieving the totality of oneself. With the "magic" removed, the
process is one of psychotherapy. If that process involves a guide, the guide could be called a Nagual, or a Benefactor, or a guru, or a psychotherapist.
Their functions seem to be identical. Some suggest you ask the question, "Who am I?" That seems identical to achieving the totality of oneself.
The primary tool towards the goal is recapitulation, nothing more than a pyschotheraputic technique.
An adjunct exercise is to recognize and to deal with the socialization processes we are all subjected to. The goal of the society is to produce compliant,
dependable, and for the most part, non-thinking workers. There's nothing evil about that process, however, it is of benefit for one to realize the
programming in order to work towards the goal of achieving one's totality. In this regard, the notion of the foreign installation may be helpful in
identifying the programming and goals of society.
