  1. What?


  2. That is a very valid point that you put forth however I disagree

  3. * Two other authors, Taisha Abelar (born Maryann Simko) and Florinda Donner-Grau (born Regine Thal), have written books in which they claim to be from don Juan Matus' party of Toltec warriors. Both Abelar and Donner-Grau were endorsed by Castaneda as being legitimate students of don Juan Matus, whereas he dismissed all other writers as pretenders. The two women were part of Castaneda's inner circle, which he referred to as "The Brujas", and both assumed different names as part of their dedication to their new beliefs. They were originally both graduate students in anthropology at UCLA.

        * Donald Barthelme parodied Castaneda's books in his The Teachings of Don B.: A Yankee Way of Knowledge, in which he substitutes "brujo" with "brillo."

        * Anthropologist Victor Sanchez claims to have received similar teachings from the Wirrarika people in Mexico. He admits that Castaneda's books have been an inspiration for him. While he has met Castaneda, he emphasizes that Castaneda does not endorse his work.

        * Martin J. Goodman claimed to have spent 2 days with a "reconstituted" Carlos, or Carlos' double, after the death of Carlos in his book I Was Carlos Castaneda.

        * Ken Eagle Feather claims to have met don Juan Matus, inspiring him to write several books.

        * Don Miguel Ruiz is known for bestselling book The Four Agreements.

        * Armando Torres claims to have been a favored with several long didactic conversations with Castaneda, several of which he relates in his book Encounters with the Nagual: Conversations with Carlos Castaneda. (originally in Spanish). Among other things, he reveals the "rule of the three-pronged Nagual," which explains the special rule pertinent to Castaneda due to his "distinct energy configuration" of three energy-compartments instead of the normal four for a nagual. At the end, Torres claims to have gained a mentor and joined a party of naguals unrelated to that of Castaneda.

        * Theun Mares is a nagual from South Africa who published several books on Nagualism and teaches very much the same thing as Castaneda, only from the perspective of a Natural Man.

        * Graham Kane first read Castaneda in 1975 and proceeded to plunge into the system of sorcery as outlined by CC, learning lucid dreaming and eventually following the instructions of The Art of Dreaming when it was published. His book Toltec Dreamer was published in 2002, outlining his struggle to come to terms with the teachings, specifically centering on the lucid dreaming aspect.

        * Jon Whale Learned to move assemblage point from don Gernaro apprentice, Harley Reagan, and then did 10 years clinical research outlined in his book Catalyst of Power.
