*Looks
like, thanks to me, the Castaneda Legacy forum record has indeed been
broken. OOOOOH RAH!!! What? You think it was thanks to you, Guy?????

MY RESPONSE:
Talk
about a 'guy' who loves being miserable. He can't counter my stance and
I'm just about to pull out a heck of a lot more 'stops' than I already
have. I was under the impression that Guy went to Greece with Jeremy
Donovan TBD.
Let me tell you something, Guy. That avatar photo
you are using is making you extra cynical. Oh, you don't think that an
avatar photo can influence the way you post? For about a week, use an
avatar photo of a 'guy' puking and see whether or not it affects how you
post. Then switch to a powerful avatar photo of the Buddha and see
whether or not your whole posting style changes. If I used YOUR avatar
photo my whole style of posting would go downhill. You've been using
that same old photo for years. Guess you have no interest in being
anything other than what you were then and are right now. Hey, to each
his or her own!
Jeremy saw that I was back and said, "F*ck this.
I'm going to Greece and I intend to stay there for a while!" Be sure and
wash all the Greece off of you before you start posting again, Jeremy.
Shouldn't
Greece be famous for oil production? I mean the name sounds rather
oily. Maybe I'll get on a search engine and type in: "Is there any oil
in Greece?" Or maybe, "Do they make grease in Greece?" Sounds' like a
messy place to me.
Actually, I'm honest enough to openly admit
that Jeremy is now a much better person than I remember him. From what I
have read of his recent posts, he seems to be more at peace with
himself than he used to be. He seems to have a good job, travels to nice
places and has interesting dream excursions. Kind of wish he was a
dick...like...you know who. It would be more fun to take him down that
way. Oh well....
Ready for me to pull out some more 'stops'.

PART 1
Okay, let's try this from a different angle:
Let's
say that ALL of Castaneda's books were complete works of fiction just
as the works of Mark Twain were. So, let's put them side-by-side. Did
Mark Twain create a character who was wiser than don Juan?
NO, HE DIDN'T!
Did
Mark Twain create a character who's tremendous wisdom about the true
nature of the Universe helped to jumpstart an entire spiritual movement?
NO, HE DIDN'T!!
Did even Shakespeare create a character who was so wise that he helped to jumpstart an entire spiritual movement?
NO, HE DIDN'T!!!
Are
you closed-minded people here more qualified than the anthropology
experts at UCLA to determine whether or not Castaneda deserved a Ph. D
for his book Journey To Ixtlan?
NO, YOU ARE NOT!!!!
Has
ANY modern, fully qualified anthropologist found or created a character
who is wiser and more interesting than Castaneda's don Juan?
NONE THAT I HAVE SEEN!!!!
If
Castaneda was not brutally honest in portraying himself as a bumbling
insensitive person who could NEVER create the don Juan philosophy on his
own would people who knew him at the time have been screaming
(((FRAUD))) from the publishing of his first book?
((( MOST DEFINITELY!!!! )))

PART 2
In
the final analysis what is truly useful to better one's life is truly
useful except to people who care nothing about bettering their lives
(hint, hint energylover)
You really need to learn that just
stating your opinion does not automatically make it true. Obviously, you
are still nowhere near wise enough to realize that yet, energylover.
Neither
is Senor Wenceslao. He thinks just saying that there are no aliens
visiting the Earth makes it so and all the generals, government
officials and Pilots in this book are not as qualified as he is. That is
what is known as EXTREME ignorance. You were disguising your ignorance
rather well...until I came along and exposed it. Coming to dumb
conclusions without honestly examining the current evidence about UFOs
puts you right up there with the Jehovah's Witnesses. You should join
them...so they can kick you out.
UFOs (Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go ON The Record):
http://www.amazon.com/UFO...1-1&tag=533643275-20
I feel as though I am crucifying you staunch, close-minded Castaneda skeptics and if feels fantastic!
Just hammered in some more nails and what a relief!
Go ahead and try to make me feel guilty for enjoying this process. See how far it will get you
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
You
are now seeing an empirical demonstration of what it means to have
tremendous personal power stored and available for use in creating
posts. My posts are so powerful compared to yours that if I were allowed
more than one post a day I would knock you Castaneda skeptics down like
proverbial bowling pins in a bowling alley strike. Heck, I am doing
that with just one post a day! Yes, this is true personal power
manifested. Don't like it much, do you skeptics. Great!!!

PART 3
So
Tom, finally something different around here. I have been looking in on
this forum from time to time throughout the years and it has always
been different variations of the same old sh*t. Well, you must admit
that my thread is a rather refreshing change. Although it is not as
beautiful as the threads I used to create with the gorgeous and
interesting pictures. I recently erased my Internet personal history. I
deleted my old Photobucket account and when I did that my entire private
forum fell apart. It was too dependent on the Photos. No more forums
filled with lots of photos for me! Now I tend to keep my photo posts
isolated so that I can easily delete them, if I want to, without ruining
the threads.
Well, we both know you won't admit it even if you
KNOW I just stated the truth in this post. What was that saying?
Something about remaining silent and appearing wise rather than opening
your mouth and giving people no doubt of your ignorance? Something like
that, I believe.
Considering the silence of the intelligent in this forum I would have to say Castaneda must have been correct in his book title:
The Power of Silence
Yes, it is indeed possible for people to be extremely intelligent while lacking wisdom.
Like computers
Computers
have lots of Intelligence, but they have no wisdom. However, at least
computers don't even try to act as though they are wise. In your silence
you intelligent are obviously learning from the computers you use
The
truly wise will treat ALL books and information as fiction unless they
PERSONALLY verify the information as non-fiction and true, period! Does
anyone here disagree with this? I thought not
And what I just stated is a fact whether you people agree or not.
So the debate as to whether or not Castaneda lied has finally been put to rest.
Yes
Castaneda lied. Yes YOU lie. Yes, I sometimes lie. Yes, everyone I have
ever met and gotten to know has lied sooner or later. So it is
irrelevant to argue back and forth whether or not Castaneda lied. Well
at least until you forget about this thread and start the ignorance up
all over again. I wouldn't put it past you knuckleheads to do that.
Might even consider betting the farm...or, at least, YOUR farm! Ha!

PART 4
BINRUI WROTE:
"If
there is any moral lesson in all this stuff, this is the lesson. The
greatest lesson anyone in this world can give, this is the realization
of the self in a world that compels us to do the opposite."
MY RESPONSE:
You've got a good head on your shoulders their, Binrui. But what the heck do I know, right? Ha!
Yes,
we live in a society that has deliberately brainwashed us to look 'out
there' for our solutions to life. 'Out there' is where they sell you all
kinds of stuff and the 'sheep herders' of modern society want you to
SPEND MONEY chasing your proverbial tails as much as they possibly can
get you to. They don't want YOUR LIFE to be more interesting than the
media star characters they endorse. They want YOUR LIFE to be dull,
boring and meaningless so that you will always be looking 'out there'
for your solutions to living a fulfilling and happy life. It's a scam
and they have the bulk of modern humanity properly brainwashed alright.
If THEY officially say someone is a fraud YOU people in this forum just
tend to blindly believe it without question. If THEY say the American
government has never been contacted by advanced UFO aliens and there was
no Apollo 20 trip to the moon you just blindly believe it like the
monkey-brained human sheep that most of you people are.
Fact of
the matter is that world peace and solutions in life MUST come from
within the self. If your connecting link to your source is weak and
ineffective you will always be manifesting misery upon misery, period.
They
have convinced the lot of you that The Secret does not work and the lot
of you, who don't want to do the work, just blindly believe it; suckers
that you are. They have convinced you that James Arthur Ray is a fraud
and all he cares about is money and you just blindly believe it even
though this is what James Arthur Ray says about money:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtMm5_nAeMU
What
do you knuckleheads care about what James Arthur Ray actually says
about money, right? You've been brainwashed into believing all he cares
about is money and, like the +*@$$*% human sheep that you are, you just
blindly believe it no matter what Mr Ray has taught. Fact of the matter
is that was NOT James Arthur Ray's sweat lodge those people died from.
It was NOT James Arthur Ray's property. It belonged to Angel Valley and
Mr Ray paid BIG MONEY to use (((THEIR))) facility. Angel Valley owner Mr
Hamilton KNEW James Arthur Ray wanted the 2009 sweat lodge hotter than
ever before. It was Mr Hamilton's responsibility to have emergency
personnel on duty that day if he felt they were needed. What did Mr
Hamilton do to protect those people at the JRI warrior workshop sweat
lodge ceremony? NOTHING!!! Angel Valley owner Mr Hamilton did NOTHING to
protect the people participating in a sweat lodge ceremony conducted on
HIS PROPERTY using HIS SWEAT LODGE!! If anyone is guilty of
manslaughter in this James Arthur Ray matter it is Angel Valley owner:
Mr Hamilton, period!!!

PART 5
TO TRACKER 444
Since
you people are dead convinced that Castaneda lied I am convinced that
Jeremy Donovan is most probably lying or exaggerating EXTREMELY in his
dreaming stories. He learns no great things, from what I saw. He just
does a bunch of dumb stuff. At least Castaneda shared great things
through his dreaming with don Juan. If Jeremy wrote a book filling it
with his supposed dream stories YOU would probably be the only person to
buy a, used, copy and ONLY at a bargain basement price. Ha!
Jeremy's your hero, eh? You really need to raise your standards, tweety. That's a %%%@ or two in your avatar photo, right?
If Jeremy ever becomes a Talking Dog guru YOU can be his first 'bird-brained' disciple
BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
_______________________________________________
PART 6
Most
of you are indeed a bunch of suckers who jump to conclusions without
even thinking things through. It took me coming here to energetically
'jolt' you out of your 'round and round' nowhere circles and PUSH your
faces into empirical reality. Not that it will do any good, right? Soon
you'll just deliberately forget all I have shared and go back to saying
that Castaneda lied and blah, blah, blah.
Bunch of bloody lemmings!
Well, at least the aliens will find you very tasty so the bulk of you are not totally worthless as humans
Supposedly,
Mother Nature (((DEMANDS))) that about 90% of all you trouble-making
knuckleheads be eliminated from this planet with EXTREME PREJUDICE!!
Most of you morons are already dead. You just don't realize it yet.
You'll see
When
you see UFOs all over the news filling the skies in all the major
countries on Earth you will remember this post. Indeed you will
Turns
out I was right about UFOs all along and all of you who ridiculed me
were DEAD WRONG and are soon going to be very, very...dead
Hey, it's a great day to die, right?
(((RIGHT!!!!)))
Laugh it up!!!

EMAIL TO A FRIEND:
Hey Dude,
I
ordered two world power adapters just in case you may need them. There
is no way I can test them so I ordered you two just in case one of them
is broken. The Kindle comes with a USB cord with a power adapter you can
use to plug it into the wall or disconnect it and use it like a regular
USB cord into your computer. I checked with Amazon tech support and
they recommended the small power adapters I am sending you for world use
when you travel. I think I got screwed again somewhere along the line
with the shipping price of the adapters or something or other. Oh
well....
I decided to get your Kindle device now so I can make absolutely certain that it works properly before I send it to you
It's the best investment I have made all year. Reading has NEVER been so much fun!!!
If
you read the Kindle reviews you will see more people using the word
LOVE to describe the Kindle than I have seen them use on any other
amazon product. Yes, if 'all you need is love' then a Kindle will do the
job. I hope God wasn't listening.
The Kindle will be loaded with
at least 28 of the most important books from my entire library. Here's a

NEXT EMAIL TO THE SAME FRIEND
JUXTAPOSITION:
The
Kindle makes it EASY to juxtapose different philosophical beliefs. It
holds your place as you switch from book to book and when you come back
to the first book you continue right from the point you left off. This
is turning my studies into an adventure as I like to play a game in
which I turn on the Kindle and try to guess what book I am reading just
by reading a few pages of text. The name of the book is not at the top
or bottom of the screen so this is proving to be a fun game for me!
Yes
there are limitations with the Kindle. It's best for reading a book
from beginning to end in sequence. Zapping a book open to any page is
just not a happening thing with the Kindle. So far not a single book I
have ordered has page numbers as you read, but you can create
book-markers wherever you like, and everything is in black and white.
However, in spite of its limitations the Kindle is the coolest reading
device I have ever used! I like enlarging the type so that I can read in
bed without needing glasses. It's so friggin cool and giving television
such a run for its money I just have to send you one. It is, without a
doubt, the most fun educational tool I have EVER purchased!
Love it, love it, love it!!!!
So, here is a basic summary of my new conclusions:
Castaneda's
don Juan was a shaman of a lineage who learned lessons directly from
the universe through nature. Lessons about living the most effectively
efficient life possible through impeccable thoughts, words, actions and
reactions to the world they were perceiving. Castaneda came from the
UCLA world who, at the time, didn't have a clue just how wrong their
dead, 'clock-like' view of the universe actually was. I believe
Castaneda was torn apart between the opposing paradigm views of reality.
I'll do my best to quickly sum it up as I now understand it:
What
don Juan called "The Tonal" is everything WE THINK we know about
reality. What don Juan called "The Nagual" are the mysterious aspects of
infinity all around us that cannot be perceived with the five-senses.
The nagual can be alluded to, but cannot be talked about. The only way
to even come close to understanding it is to experience it directly
through states of inner-silence. So, I believe that the "tonal" is like
the tip of the iceberg of what is actually going on around us. It is the
aspect of 'the nagual' that we can hang a label on. Science has created
their Newtonian physics theories on the blind acceptance that the
'tonal' is all there is to reality and it is nonsense to believe that
humans have anything more than five-senses. This defective view of
reality has led to treating the Earth as though it is some dead thing
and it doesn't matter how we abuse the Earth because it's just a dead,
clocklike thing.
((( A DEADLY INCORRECT PREMISE AND LIVING MOTHER NATURE IS PISSED!!! )))
Getting
to the point: Reality changes depending upon how you choose to view the
world. I believe each and every one of us assembles a world that is
unique. The person who Intends a world filled with ever unfolding
possibilities for health, strength, happiness and overflowing prosperity
is assembling a completely different world from the person who Intends a
world where his best days are behind him and there is nothing
worthwhile left to discover in life. These two people may think they are
in the same world, but they are in two completely different worlds;
even if they live next door to each other!
So, I suggest you make
your choice to assemble a world of limitless possibilities. A world
were there is always some exciting new thing awaiting you around every
corner. A world where any and all misfortunes are turned around and
transformed into incredible successes!
Your body is your temple and your mind is the treasure room of your temple
I'm
certain Castaneda's don Juan would agree with me in that true success
in life is only for those who are determined to consistently treat
themselves and the world around them with tremendously grateful respect.
Take care!
