  • From the Author

    After a brief vacation from matters Castaneda, I've read through all the responses to my article. An adequate reply to all of the fascinating points raised by readers would require a response as long as the original piece. Since I've had my say, I'll refrain. I do want to say that it wasn't in any way my intention to attack hippies, baby boomers, or alternative modes of cognition.

    That said, I'd be quite interested in hearing from anyone who knew Castaneda personally. Or from anyone, such as Mike Jackson, who knew -- or knows -- members of his inner circle.

    Or from Carol Tiggs.
