I was part of a sect in the past.
I had someone tell me things very similar to parts of Don Juan philosophy.

I told you I speak of experience...
I don't see Don Juan, or Carlos Castaneda as being smarter than the rest of us.
People that have been in sects talk about relinquishing their power to a guru.
I lived that. I've seen it happen with many. I can recognise the pattern.
Don Juan made his spirituality Dark and hostile...
But spirituality is supposed to be light, its about having self compassion and love.
You should know spec, since you are a adept of yoga...
If you are traumatized because of your experience you should recapitulate it. Otherwise that scar will follow you the rest of your life, and the lives to
come!!
That scar will poison your mind and will not let you think straight. It's doing it ALREADY. Instead of bitching
about Don Juan, who didn't hurt ANYBODY (Castaneda was the one with the cultish scheme), why don't you
fix your tonal?. Don Juan only trained the ones signaled by the spirit.
You can only see Don Juan, at this point, from your pain. That's not objective AT
ALL!
PS1: Self compassion !?!?! Self Pity? That's not good at all. That's not yoga.
PS2: I spoke of subtle experience, not cultish experience that is not evolutionary at all.
