May I interject a comment here?
What if you were to find out that all this flyer talk was all a waste?
What if you found out that in order to achieve the 'whatever' you speak of, you had to reject all the teachings you've ever received. Could you abandon all this knowledge you've acquired?
What would happen to 'you?'
If you 'believe' the flyers are real and found out they were, yet quit believing in them, what would happen?
Thanks!

1. You may.
2. IF...
Belief and disbelief are both not knowing. If anybody was able to get rid of all their beliefs... a real total clean slate... the flyer wouldn't be an issue and they would be at least in the third attention.
But beliefs are most of the times related to emotions, making it very hard to just "forget".
Most people would gladly live and die for their beliefs... I certainly won't do it. If the shoe fits, walk it. If not, there is a whole shoestore available.
I for one can't spit on Don Juan nor Castaneda's knowledge yet. At this time, that would be spitting up.
