In the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs,
The borders of our lives.


Can analysis be worthwhile?
Yes, we speak of things that matter..

And we sit and drink our coffee
Couched in our indifference

you would just have to read through the books some more

I highly recommend Journey to Ixtlan first, then Tales of Power---

I would skip some of the other ones for a while

really? I herd Jesus was the savior of humankind and the only way to get into heaven

and that 7 hits of acid makes you legally insane

or even better, that the human race was genetically engineered by the annunaki

quite frankly, despite whatever liberties Carlos Castaneda took for storytelling or entertainment purposes

if you read through ALL of the books

you will find that there are truths contained in them that apply to you on such a deep level

that it is almost as if a part of your body already knows some of these but have forgotten

there are a lot of things in those books that could mislead you, so try not to get too stuck in the details,

but you will feel it in your body when it is true



In my personal opinion, Carlos Castaneda was a bit of an idiot

you can tell by the consecutive writings that at first he had no idea what he was even supposed to be writing about



and for him to possibly fabricate some of that stuff

is just giving him way too much credit.

NOBODY is that clever a deceiver, I'm not saying he wasn't one, but you can forget all about him and thank yourself for reading those books again.

the wisdom is far beyond that man

He is 100% full of shit. People will believe this bullshit but dissmiss divine events such as god dying on the cross for us.
Come on. This is the problem with humans. People such as shroomery members are the type of minds that can easily be recruited into a cult. You all need to establish pillars. Make a pact with your self that adding anything or taking anything from your personal pillar should take extreme thinking over  aperiod of time.

I've been told that some of my posts sound like they came out of the books even though I've never read any of them.

Some stuff is just universal...and anyone who can put it into words, even if he's making it "up" and borrowing sources will get noticed. 

Like Terence said once.  He wasn't special, but anyone who can talk about the psychedelic experience coherently gets a place at the table.

How is it a problem?
Humans are entitled to their own opinions and beliefs,
therefore I don't see a 'problem' with that. -- So what if people have differing opinions and beliefs?
That is what conversations are for; to share each other's perspective on 'reality' and exchange information with one another.

I tend to take everything with a grain of salt, and leave it at that, and not limit myself to one particular opinion or belief, but to combine all of that information, and shape and mold my own opinions and beliefs.

Prejudice much?
Propaganda can easily sway ALL minds.
By the way, what is wrong with a cult? You recruited yourself into The Shroomery Cult.
Etymology: Cult. An organized group of people, religious or not, with whom you disagree. [Rawson]

To me,
"Cult" doesn't have to have a negative or positive connotation attached to it. Haphazardly applying "Cult" as a pejorative is completely irrational IMO.

well he wrote a lot more useful/helpful stuff than mckenna, IMO (I'm guessing that's who you were referring to?)

and again, if you read the books, you will hopefully see that castaneda is a fool but that does nothing to change the fact that these are some of the most relevant (to life as a human being) books ever written.




I'm not trying to defend anybody's honor here. I'm just telling you, you would be doing yourself a favor to give the books a really good read or perhaps second look. I highly recommend starting with journey to ixtlan

fair enough, but you sure have a lot of opinions about it for nothing more nothing less

then again i notice your title says psilocybin is bullshit so i hope we've all had fun



anyway, to anybody who cares, forget everything you've heard and give the books a chance, starting with Journey to Ixtlan. You decide if it applies to you or not.
