Hey cleargreen: when I delete one of your comments from the list, all of the user names that came from the same computer get deleted as well. Youtube was smart by adding that feature. Saves me alot of time. An aweful lot of time.

...But how do you help those who have witnessed and suffered his sorcerer knoeledge? Especially if someone tries to point out his deciet, it will always fall under: there is no such thing as dreaming or stalking or beckoning power, which are actual arts still taught today. But did carlos know a nagual, fuck no! Did he make up his story, Absolutely! Is this incrediably hard to say this to poeple? How masterful he is. How masterful he is. Meanwhile people continue to suffer.

It's funny that the only people who really fell for Castenadas con were white American women. Damn, you could sell anything to these broads, as long as its packaged with some the words magic, "actualization" and all that other marketing stuff.

Shamanism and magic are real, Castanada was not.

[otherthanfiction]

or very careful and masterful. I would love to soley reveal his inconsistancies but the predator was down right correct on power's ability to be beckoned. But he certainly knew what he was doing when he revealed what he did and in the manner in which he did. Its not obvious that he is a liar. He sold himself as a guide. Impecable and celebate and he was niether. He suffered disease, never ceased to have sex. Organised a massive following at a compound with rules.

[IzzyIsou]

I agree: power can be summoned. That fact can be seen at every level of human history. But for what cause and by whom, is always an interesting question to delve into.

One reason people followed him is because, like so many other con artists (because, lets admit, he was an artist), he led people to believe his knowledge came from the source, and he did it by the use of a source the anthropological model was perfect for his deceit.

If the cult organizers die with the rest,it is a "true" cult.

If the cult organizers stand to inherit the wealth of the followers who die willingly or otherwise,it is an ultimate "Con" cult.

Jones was a CIA mind control agent. He was paid by the us Black Ops division to experiment with control of peoples thinking. The majority of his "followers" were "released" to him from mental institutions.

MOST of the people I have met in my life are "fools" & prefer it that way.

[peterhndz]

I've noticed a connection between people who don't know how to criticize a serious feat in anthropological literature and extremely ignorant fools.

[otherthanfiction]

To each thier own but if i was going to start a suicide cult I wouldn't get caught. These cults were just sloppy. imagine the cults out there that no one knows about. I critisize there inability to hide there true aims. But if someone wants to kill them self who am I to stop them. Its just not me

[Torchbearer666]

very nicely said! I agree!

[otherthanfiction]

sounds like a problem

[GnomieBear]

i didn't know florinda was dead.

[seifer109]

everyone claims that Castaneda was a cult leader, if you want to get technical everything that has followers willing to do for what they believe in are a cult

[deckmasterd]

900 people didnt all willingly drink lethal kool aid, a great many lesser devout were forced and otherwise killed. A tragedy nonetheless

[Mystery207]

Yeah Jim Jones was a CIA Agent. Part of Mk ultra to prepare black people for The influx of heroine and corporate marketing..Ha That's funny

[29alpedo]

the problem with castaneda is the people who is atracted by his books. They're are the stupid kind of persons who believe that every piramid around the world were (undoubtedly) made by aliens. But the first 4 books are awesome! just read them!!

everything else is a lie, possibly created by cleargreen in order to make more money.

[solgoode1]

You really don't know what you're talking about.

[Zerrbernie]

[snarltiggs]

"At the heart of Castaneda's movement was a group of intensely devoted women, all of whom were or had been his lovers. They were known as the witches, and two of them,vanished the day after Castaneda's death,A few weeks later, Patricia Partin, Castaneda's adopted daughter as well as his lover, also disappeared. In February 2006, a skeleton found in Death Valley, Calif., was identified through DNA analysis as Partin's."-From a Salon article on Carlos Castanada "The Godfather of the New Age".
