How about the Florinda Donner chronology? " Those 3 books are nothing but a pack of lies, and narcissistic ones at that".
" Castaneda's long debunked claims to have been taught by a yaqui(!) sorcerer". I could go on quoting, but best let people decide for themselves just what is creeping up here.

Someone in chat was a bit confused by this. So I'll point out that that isn't your view, but a quote from Corey/Richard's SustainedAction.org site.

Perhaps " refusing his very being" ( TWOT)is where his sorcery path has led him, or perhaps this falls into " national identity".

u/Dark-Warrior-999 , for clarity Daniel Lawton (u/danl999) is not a moderator on this subreddit. He’s what you would call a consultant; and not involved at the brass tacks level.

Every substantive management/editing decision over the past few years has been made by our moderators.

I'm here under blackmail from the 2 allies of Carlos.

No story there! They chased me all over Asia, finally pulling me into their world to see the history of this lineage (including Lujan who seems to have come on one of the Dutch East Indies fleet ships), so they could threaten me with the possibility they could pull me into there any time if I didn't obey.

Awake...

Nothing in this sub encourages people to pretend their dreams are magic.

That also being part of an agreement with the more friendly of his 2 allies.

Who invented "dark room".

I almost ditched this place once when we got organized attacks from bad men, some possibly associated with the fake don Juan, Tata Kachora.

The mods were trying to be "fair" back then, something that Richard seems to have fallen prey to also.

But you can't learn sorcery if you insist on being "fair minded".

And this place couldn't survive if the mods put a priority on being fair.

There's nothing "fair" about the river of shit.

Thank you for the clarification. I corrected his author bio on SA to reflect this.

Most people here have witnessed enough to know everything Castaneda said was true, you would do good to read everything on this subreddit and learn from it, this place where their is no incentive for anyone to lie, not for social gain, not for profit, and probably the only remotely "spiritual" (for lack of a better term) place on the internet filled entirely with nerds objectively seeking the truth.

History repeats itself with sorcery.

It's too bad "Second Ring of Power" isn't about the kind of rings in "The Rings of Power"!

Although I've fancied having Cholita make some of those of her own design, for people who can locate an object she hides using Silent Knowledge.

She used to make art objects nice enough that they end up selling in Hollywood.

But I'm afraid all of her customers, mostly given to her indirectly by Carlos, got really old.
