This might not appear to be about the Castaneda series at first however I have not been able to get this off of my mind.
I tried selling some old clothes on social media. Another user had replied after a few weeks and they had started to haggle my already cheap price. I explained that the clothes were high quality and I lied saying that there were other buyers, then I raised the price and their interest increased and they persistently sent messages to me. They sent me payment and I told them my address, it had been a really good deal for me so I didn't question it.
They had seen the Casteneda books on my shelf and explained to me that these were books of mysticism and were very dangerous. obviously I wanted to laugh but there was something off about this person.
He mentioned he had a peanut allergy and that he couldn't stay so once he gathered the clothing he left.
A few days later I realized he had called Don Juan, Don Lio, and I still do not understand what he meant by this. If anyone has an answer please let me know. Am I being stalked by fictional magic?
I worked at a local mom and pop pharmacy for a few months but the owners were really weird. They had a book club for the book the four agreements or something and I recognized alot of the phrasing from the Carlos Castaneda books and I would mention it when they talked about it. Ever since that job I started noticing people acting weird or appearing in places they shouldn't be like they were trying stalk my peripheral vision. I felt like my space was being invaded for months the only response i've got from everyone made it seem like it was my fault.

I would say don't read that deep into it , it's all a bunch of coincidences that can be easy to explain. The mind likes to gather info to justify it's own premade conclusions. You can easily Google and find out what I mean with this.
Castaneda books are not dangerous, people insert their own meaning into things. Many different spiritual paths have similarities IF you want to see it that way. That doesn't make them similar when you REALY get into them.
Sounds like you just got caught up into your minds way of gathering random clues to make a mysterious situation but really there's nothing going on here. Since the post doesn't align with the purpose of the sub it's going to be deleted.
Good luck!
