This is why Don Juan spoke about gaining freedom so much, this is what we are meant to be free from:
“We have a predator that came from the depths of the cosmos and took over the rule of our lives. Human beings are its prisoners. The Predator is our lord and master. It has rendered us docile, helpless. If we want to protest, it suppresses our protest. If we want to act independently, it demands that we don't do so... I have been beating around the bush all this time, insinuating to you that something is holding us prisoner. Indeed we are held prisoner! "This was an energetic fact for the sorcerers of ancient Mexico ... They took us over because we are food for them, and they squeeze us mercilessly because we are their sustenance. just as we rear chickens in chicken coops, the predators rear us in human coops, humaneros. Therefore, their food is always available to them." --Don Juan Matus, from The Active Side of Infinity by Carlos Castaneda

Nice to see people keeping his (our) knowledge alive. The BEST resource I've ever seen is by Prismagems.com - the guy took all the novels and reprinted them but only with the parts where Don Juan spoke.
Talk about a TON of knowledge...
Yeah, Prismgems is cool but he deleted everything that Carlos said, so it is basically just Don Juan quotes with no context. The PDF's of Castaneda's complete books aren't available on Federaljack anymore, but you can download them all from here still: https://www.facebook.com/groups/carloscastanedaaficionados/

Prismgems is great if you just want to read what Don Juan said. Have you ever seen this obscure website by Jeff Judd before? I think it is the best ever. The guy is a college professor, I'm guessing from the url: http://www2.hawaii.edu/~jjudd/energy/index.html

thanks, i love the link. i love these revolutionary words:
Wowed by just reading the introduction, it suddenly came to me that Don Carlos, had just laid his first teachings for humanity. At this point Don Juan had just taught him another lesson, what stories to use on his nagual teachings.
