  • Have you tried it ?

    Just to speak a few words for Castaneda - plenty of what he reports in terms of OBE experiences and sorcery is founded in realities you can experience yourself if you stop worrying about fraud or fact. Let it go. Hey - you're only phantoms anyway so lighten up! xx Ian

  • One more thing

    Just to add another perspective - if Castaneda was the power-crazed sex-crazed manipulator the article implies, why didn't he make better use of his talents than go offline in 1973 and stay cooped up in a so-called compound at the height of his fame? This guy could have toured the world in the 70's and had masses worshipping at his feet, as many other so-called gurus have done. The fact he chose not to should give us pause to think.
