HA HA HA im amazed how some BBC people decided in a video that he was a total hoax. All i can say is if he could make all this up with such grand consitancy and beauty he deserves his fame. But im convinced that he made contact with something or someone or channeled something exceptional and rare and real.
I was happy to find this uploaded but immediately noted that you have not watched your audio levels and there is considerable distortion from an overloaded signal. Can't you hear that? I daresay the original doesn't have this same distortion.
Some people are still arguing, was this mysterious brujo (witch in spanish) Don Juan Matus real or not. Well, does that really matter so much? If so, why? Many people are so deeply blind and therefore they say that everyone who sees, is a abnormal. Usual people are unfortunately slaves of their mind and rational explenations. True and deep wisdom lives in every Don Juan's word and vision of life. I bet Don Juan is laughing at our stupid "arguments", that are meaningless and full of emptyness.
I forgot that Carlos was born in Peru. I always thought of him as an L.A. guy. I used to go to the Ship's coffee shop in Westwood when that was Carlos' favorite coffee shop (24 hours). It blows my mind that we may have sat in the same coffee shop at the same time. Fuck the BBC.
I don't like liars, plagarists, copy-cats...and he was all three and then some. He died of liver cancer for god's sake. If ANYONE was capable of 'escaping death' as he so ardently wrote about, Castaneda was the man, and HE DIED OF LIVER CANCER. He was A PETTY TYRANT. I fell for his stuff just like millions of others starting in the late 60's, but the evidence that he was just a small, brown, homely man (his words) and a mean and often sad cult-leader, is overwhelming.

Don Juan makes more sense to me than the Bible.
