my feeling is that don juan and the other shamans were real and that Castaneda did have an apprenticeship with them; however, he personally did not break through to become a proper shaman himself. he is therefore able to write about what happened to him in a somewhat disjointed way, but cannot deliver the goods in a personal sense. I once had a psychic tune into castaneda; all his chakras were blocked and he had not opened up.

When most people are asked why they are here, they say one of these:

(1) "gods will" - But they dont know gods will (if there even is a god)

(2) "because god put me here and I should stay" - If being somewhere is enough reason to stay, no progress would ever be made.

(3) "to live the best life I can" - Similar to (2). Assumes this is the best place to be only because they are here.

(4) "to love, worship, etc" - Those things can be done if you are dead or alive.

(5) "to do something specific on earth" - These people are exempt from my ranting.


If you dont care if you have a reason to be here, thats fine with me, but dont expect rational spirits to want to be here just to be here.

But then you have to wonder, why do they have to wait if they are free from their physical bodies? And why wait in a cave?

Hi mustang,

After you confront the unknown a hundred times, it's no longer as frightening.

Keep trying...

Good Luck,

   Very interesting story.  Area of particular interest to me is "Katherine's" apparent ability to affect/interact with objects in the physical plane while in the astral (more specifically what is commonly referred to as the real time zone).  I would be very interested to see other corroberating stories that make reference to similar abilities/events.  Anybody?
