Hi Le Regard,
When reading through this thread I must admit I had to laugh!
I am pretty new to metaphysics in such and even newer to the Carlos Castaneda stuff.
The first person whose work I studied the most was Edgar Cayce. Indefinitely a different tone than Carlos' stuff but very informative non the less!
Although I am new I have been inhaling as much metaphysical stuff I can from all the verified resources (including Cayce).
Apparently most people are pretty subject to influence...most of the day most of us are. We are on "autopilot". Anytime a person is in autopilot they are subject to influence. The way I came across this information was that ly was presented to me when I first heard about people being controlled by others. I questioned how and the information came to me in a book I was reading on a different subject.
"Influence" is different than control however and different than rape! A car salesman can convince you to buy an overpriced car but you wont be a him to take him to jail for extortion!
When people are truly standing 1000 per cent in their presence and paying fill attention and actually -using- their will, no one can influence them to do anything. This is our "free- will". It isnt always that free. Only when we are paying attention.
Serloco wouldn't be able to coerce someone that truly in their will 100% did not want to.
I can reference info on this is if anyone wants.
