    As defined in Carlos Castaneda's books on Don Juan's teachings, does anybody think that all the aspects of sorcery in his books are possible?

    Any other thoughts?

    I really couldn't say with the same eloquence and specific nature but i'll try:

    Don Juan, a Yaqui Sorcerer states that all perception is based on an 'Assemblage-point' on average people located about one to three feet behind the back.

    I really have to re-read it but it is very interesting. Sorry I can't synthesize it for you, if I did I would be lying and distortioning(sp?) the truth.

    Read the books! hehe

    :) I've read them, and at the very least, are an excellent read, whether or not you believe in it.

    Many new-age-esque authors write about very similar things, just worded differently. There's a strong resonence of truth in the writing, but one can take any interpretation from it.

    I've never read any of his books myself but I remember hearing that he was exposed as a fraud and he made up all the experiences he wrote about in his books.

    I dunno, but the simson's episode where homer talks to the dog after eating chili with Insanity peppers in it reminded me of the series.

    I pissed on a friend once, but I never peed on a dog that peed on me.
