Here is a torrent for a Castaneda film. I don;'t know if it is good yet, but here it is. Got to www.demonoid.com to make an account for this torrent site.

A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

Excellent! Thanks for this Hue. I'm definitely gonna check it out.
BTW, it's not necessary to make an account if you use Bitcomet. I just clicked the link and it started downloading. Not sure about any other clients though, but they're probably the same way.
Thanks again!

Jung "So really, ordinary reality is a kind of chemical habit, sanctioned by culture, which says it's okay to use certain drugs, eat certain foods, and have certain sexual behaviors. However, when you transcend all this pre-conditioning by returning to the original wisdom of the animal body, then you discover this immense dimension of opportunity. For some people, it is a frightening risk. To me, that's the psychedelic experience." Terence McKenna

Thanks for adding that info. It may have been an outside hosted torrent posted on demonoid.

This was a very interesting movie. What are your thoughts on it?
I know you Hue have read extensive research. Did the movie convey the "true" picture?
Castaneda was far out. Heheh, I didn't know he was that mad. Seems very manipulative. I share many of his views on energy, vibrations, power of imagination and myths etc.

I thought the movie was exploring the self importance of a few self deluded people and was not even about Castaneda.

What about Castaneda's self importance? Was he deluded?

I've read the first five books. Is this movie worth watching?
I dont know if I should download the torrent - I really dont care on the authenticity of the books anymore - I just see how they fit around my life with positive change and apply them to my own philosophy. Why should I watch this?

Unfortunately it apparently did not address any aspect of Castaneda's being. The stories about him were contradictory and misleading. That would be in keeping with the philosophy delivered in his books, but ultimately this only tells us about the individuals telling the stories...not Castaneda.
Fospher: It is not a very good movie whether you like or dislike Castaneda's works. It really does not make a serious attempt at discussing the authenticity of his works as philosophy does not need authentication. Anyone expecting Castaneda to be portrayed as "more than human" is deluded. He was a person who was flawed...like all of us. This does not lessen the impact of what he wrote or the imaginative style in which he delivered it. Impeccability was never said to equal perfection in any of his works. In short the movie was poorly produced and a huge load of new age horse shit. I don't care if he was a saint or an asshole...he was still a great writer.
"Not a model man Not a savior or a saint Imperfect in a word Make no mistake But i will Give you everything I have Take me as I am..." --King Crimson

What I found interesting was exactly how different and contradictory the people surrounding him experienced it all.
