I've read Carlos's books twice , but each time i ignored the "Magical Passes" because i thought it's not important.
until recently because of so many suggestions in this subreddit i did some tensegrity. it's like a big secret revealed to me. i'm not even doing it correctly or long enough. and yet i feel progress.
and i finally read the book also .
hata yoga, tai chi, etc.. may look "cool" , tensegrity may look "stupid" , but don't let that fool you.
it is so powerful. it is the foundation. don't underestimate it .

I didn't care for journey to Ixtlan. Don Juan was presented as being kind of mean.
The best of teachers cannot also always be your friend. We don’t need more enablers in our lives.
A lot of the book was Don Juan analyzing carlos's stupidity and bad personality.
i first read "The Art Of Dreaming" , it hooked me and after that i started reading the books from the start. in that way i never thought of Don Juan as a mean person because i knew him from the art of dreaming.
Really? I've been reading it over the last week and I don't find him mean. I find him honest. He's talked a lot about being frugal with your energy, and I would assume that trying to tiptoe around someone else's feelings would be a waste of your personal resources. He doesn't tell Carlos what he wants to hear and often it hurts Carlos' feelings, but it's what he needs to hear.
