Since you put a year of work into this, I don’t think it’s right to treat it as a low effort AI creation. We’ll leave it up so people can at least evaluate it on their own, if they want.
Noticed that your primary subreddit location for it is Corey Donovan’s “legacy” sub…somewhat interesting, and probably more fitting.
Thanks. I’ve been learning on the way. Feedback as harsh as it can be can help me to get better skills and understand more what’s more important for the people.
I’m thankful for the opportunity to share and I hope that there’s enough value in the “whole”
What's with this picture? This is the OPPOSITE of the real thing.
Anyone pretending like this, won't ever actually learn.
And anyone who has actually made this sorcery work, will instantly know from this picture, that no one with any actually understanding looked at the cover artwork.
Since you obviously haven't any actual knowledge, I'll explain by saying that this picture promotes Asian closed eye pretend magic, and attention/money seeking.
woaw really? for me was 12 months reading 11 books, writting the script. And finally learning a bit of edition, filming, ai animation. All becouse I wanted to share his work from a practical point of view
If you studied Buddhism like someone mentioned, you're totally confused about what real magic is. You were robbed and deceived by a crappy foreign religion, and haven't admitted it to yourself yet.
Here's a map Carlos gave us in private classes.
Buddhism only reaches the "green station". That's no better than simply praying for too long, or spinning around in circles like a Sufist. And not nearly as powerful, as just hitting the snooze button in the morning, and laying there half awake.
Buddhism's greatest achievements are hardly worth mentioning.
“Nahual master,” “soul,” “astral entities,” “prehispanic Chi Kung.” It’s that typical annoying yoga-type making a “Buddhist” documentary about Carlos.
If this were literature or philosophy, the video would be like someone who read half of the first book and then tries to explain the entire body of work—forgetting, of course, that it’s Olmec sorcery.
So maybe Techno is going soft, because it doesn’t matter if this guy took ten years to make this: the truth is he never read the books; he just pasted a PDF and added, “make a summary for a YouTube documentary,” and then, “now illustrate it.” After that, he stood there yelling and gesturing in front of the camera with a green poster behind him, and then stitched it all together in a video editing program.
So he didn’t understand or explain anything useful for sorcery, since his Buddhist perspective contaminates the whole “documentary.”
And in the end, as always, it’s about money: he sells you online “self-upgrade” packages—in other words, you pay him so he can tell you that just by paying and listening to him, you’re already a better turd than the rest in the punch bowl. The same old business.
I mean yes I offer the membership in the yt channel. Also I comment that it’s a support becouse everything is already in the channel for free for the public.
I’m learning as I go. I take all feedback in and I hope that taking aside the 1min ad at the end, there was something you found valuable.
It's just Cholita, who used to believe I had kidnapped her, turned her husband against her, and made sure she wouldn't get a job anywhere.
So as far as the registration went, she took all the paperwork needed to renew, and destroyed it right away. She didn't like the idea of "registering" something with the government.
But then after 2 years with an expired registration, she decided it was worse to be pulled over by the police. So she began to make efforts to get registered legally, but it took her a year and a half.
It's typical of paranoid schizophrenia. Whoever is the caretaker, becomes the center of their paranoid fantasies. That was me at first.
But after 6 years she seemed to have decided that wasn't entirely true, and maybe there was just some dark organization behind it all, most likely the Free Masons working with the Lizard people. And maybe I was also a pawn in their evil plans.
None of that matters much to me, since once in a while I get to see some spectacular magic, done by her.
Zuleica, Zoila, and Josefina were also schizophrenic.
They make more powerful witches.
Last night I could see through the walls of my room for miles, mostly because of my interest in remote viewing Cholita's location in Mexico.
She seems to be on a street with 4 hotels, which is unusual for rural Mexico.
If you haven’t already, do what some others have suggested and read around this subreddit and its wiki, and you’ll have a better understanding why everyone here is reacting the way they are.
From a practitioner’s point of view here, your video is a bit repulsive, or a little morbidly funny in a cringey way, at best. I don’t want to speak so harshly about it, but that’s my honest feedback.
It looks really good from the perspective of a non-practicing fan’s fantasizing imagination! Lots of fun animation and visual effects. And you do recite lots of the key ideas or phrases from the books that fans tend to put a lot of stock into. I think casual fans of the books, those who have romanticized them, and impressionable children would enjoy watching your video.
It looks like superficial love and appreciation from afar, though. It is definitely an outsider’s affection for and interpretation of the books, that will resonate with casual fans, or even people who felt genuinely inspired by what they’ve read, but will always wonder “was this really all true?” or “what does all of this mean?” or “how do these works fit with other spiritual beliefs and religions I believe in?”
Maybe the fastest way for you to better understand this community’s reaction to your work is to read about its posts and comments about Cleargreen, Castaneda’s legacy company/organization, or posts and comments here about religions and spirituality in general, because it will be apparent how, generally, we loath salespeople and scam artists who try to take advantage of other people for money or adoration or fame—especially by using Carlos’s books.
You did some really good technical work and seemed to have learned a lot more about filmmaking by making this video, which might have been the most important goal of yours, and that’s great if so! However, going forward, it might behoove you to spend more time learning about and immersing yourself in your subject, as it appears you didn’t know as much about it as you thought you did.

Sorry I didn’t got the feedback. What could I do to make it better?
Learn to make it all work!
It does you know... Just as written.

Here's a video showing what that diagram is referring to.
Quemarlo! No tiene solución por ningún lado que se lo mire.

Oddly, the Shapeshifting picture is accurate. Except for the bare chest and sword. What's up with that????
Anyway, it's accurate that you can shapeshift and gain super strength.
I've done this. Here's a "recreation".
You might be better off to redo all of that art work. It harms your credibility greatly.
The time I did this, I was looking for Cholita's registration sticker trash.
For reasons I won't fully explain.
Let's just say that when Cholita's car registration expires, she doesn't necessarily pay the DMV to get new stickers...
I was hoping she got careless and peeled off the sticker, which in California leaves you with more than just the old backing you peeled it from.
I thought maybe she dropped the tiny extra piece that comes off with the sticker, but has to be discarded.
But it wasn't under the car.
When you shapeshift, you don't notice anything is out of the ordinary.
You really change to what you shapeshifted into! And it seems perfectly normal to lift a small car in one hand.
What were you using the backing for?
To figure out if Cholita actually got a real registration.
Otherwise, I can't just ask her. She won't answer questions like that.
But a year or so later when registration came due, I snatched it from the mail and drove to the office to take care of it for her.
When I got to the counter the woman said, "This is already paid!"
So apparently Cholita took it seriously (eventually).
It seems like there's a type of sneaky shenanigans that goes on between you two
It's just Cholita, who used to believe I had kidnapped her, turned her husband against her, and made sure she wouldn't get a job anywhere.

Near the east coast.
Maybe Calle 38, Playa del Carmen
Na. She's likely an hour drive from the beach.
But there's no way to know because whatever she tells me, usually turns out to be largely fabricated to mislead.
whats this?
Its the longest and must practical guide to Castaneda's work.
His biography, book resumes, concepts and excersices.
And animated
(It has subtitles)
from aesthetic is Kitsch asf . seriously is eye damaging ...
The presenter is creepy intense.
I’m out at 2:21….
👎🏻
•I opened the link •I watched a few minutes of the video •I cleared my history from it •I closed YouTube
