Plus, Richard, isn't Castanedes one of turq's heroes? And didn't he
write about beings that are similar to fairies and pixies?!

/Apparently Turq once read Castaneda's books - "A Separate Reality"
before he even met Rama. According to the TB posted in a recent comment
posted to FFL that he read "Journey To Itxtlan" and "Tales Of Power"
while he was supposed to be taking a six month TM-Siddhi course.
Maybe he is a slow reader and even then, he apparently didn't make the
connection between the Yaqui teachings of don Juan and Asian shamanism.
The supreme goal of the shaman is to abandon his body and rise up to
heaven or descend into hell - not to let himself be "possessed" by his
assisting spirits, by demons or the souls of the dead; the shaman's
ideal is to master these spirits, not to let himself be "occupied" by
them." Go figure./
