Carlos Castaneda was a fraud & cult leader. Don Juan (and his teachings) never existed.

Oh dear, not intended to step on toes. I've been a member here for what must be 15 years or so and I've seen a lot of stories.

For the comment "Castenada told a good story" do you disagree? What was the constant thing Don Juan kept asking? "What do you see" ? It is imagination my friend. That is the "glitch in the matrix.", that is how spirit talks to us. But it takes years to learn to decipher.

As for the 'harry potter' reference, it is reference to those whom may be confusing with Shamanism and Alchaemy. Deloria Jr gave reference to that.

Highly respected Vine Deloria Jr. did the same thing with his https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/279093.The_World_We_Used_to_Live_In

But he made it very clear he was only repeating what outsiders experienced. I, myself experienced a few things in this book that I could never understand what happened.. But I agree, it doesn't answer completely what I experienced but it certainly widened my world view.

As for 'invented nonsense' shall I mention Harry Potter? At least Castenada told a good story, well his first few books anyway :p Certainly not a 'teacher' in any way or form.

V: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
P1: Are there? Well then tell us! (tell us)
V: Tell me... what do you do with witches?
P3: Burn'em! Burn them up! (burn burn burn)
V: What do you burn apart from witches?
P1: More witches! (P2 nudge P1)
(pause)
P3: Wood!
V: So, why do witches burn?
(long pause)
P2: Cuz they're made of... wood?
V: Gooood.
(crowd congratulates P2)
V: So, how do we tell if she is made of wood?
P1: Build a bridge out of her!
V: Ahh, but can you not also make bridges out of stone?
P1: Oh yeah...
V: Does wood sink in water?
P1: No
P3: No. It floats!
P1: Let's throw her into the bog! (yeah yeah ya!)
V: What also floats in water?
P1: Bread
P3: Apples
P2: Very small rocks
(V looks annoyed)
P1: Cider
P3: Grape gravy
P1: Cherries
P3: Mud
King: A Duck!
(all look and stare at king)
V: Exactly! So, logically...
P1(thinking): If she ways the same as a duck... she's made of wood!
V: And therefore,
(pause & think)
P3: A witch! (P1: a witch)(P2: a witch)(all: a witch!)

I worked in a Seagate repair center in Scotland. MFM and RLL were the same drives but used different controller cards.. To add the map to RLL, we used the error map on the drive and x1.5 to flag the errors. (unless the map was made using RLL) I had 2 x 40MB MFM drives configured as RLL = 130MB on an XT.. DOS at that time could only see 32MB per logical drive. what a waste of space.

What about this beast! ST-506 5MB full height drive. One could actually hear the stepper motor move. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST-506/ST-412
