OP from this forums you can see how many people have also plunged into Castanedas world as well and have gotten quite a lot out of their dealings with his teachings. I remember DJ once saying "We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong, the trick is in what one emphasizes." I respect your views and understand why you feel this way yet from his teachings I learned to assume responsibility for my own acts and see that the way I perceive the world and all my experiences in it is my own doing and then he brings up his points about controlling that perception which can be lots of fun. The way I see it the main idea is to gain control over the totality of oneself and the direction faced. My path since meeting his teachings has been nothing short of miracles yet again right now I am at a tough spot where I have not much control or awareness at the moment and all I can think of is practice more to grow further and expand so I can be immune to bullshit and external control. I am a master at beating myself up and settling into bullshit positions of awareness and the warriors way has helped me to eliminate lots of stuff from my life that didn't serve what was right for me and I will continue doing that not to mention the possibilities he introduces as leaving this world. Anyways I know I am dreaming my dream right now and that reality is not so real if you perceive it not to be so the thing is I can continue feeling miserable or fucking emphasize something better that will help me in my way to a better life and amazing abilities and grow and even find the door to freedom whilst maintaining awareness once again. Everything is choice and what am I choosing now?
Not trying to convince you or anything just saying Castaneda is amazing and following his teaching one can't go wrong unless he chooses to blame the external world for his failure which by the way is how we grow whilst assuming responsibility for all that is happening to us or actually what we are making for ourselves we try and poke barriers then go over them.
