i wonder if people actually manage to generate for themselves an experience of having an energetic body in the shape of a big egg because Carlos Castaneda told them that's what it was like, despite the total unnaturalness of it

I think it's important to realize that it's fiction. (We can pull a lot of use from fiction).

Yeah, when I read it, I didn't know it was fiction. I was all into that "woo-woo" Marianne Williamson stuff back then.

funny thing is, though, i don't think that was really what Castaneda was about i think he really wanted to help people, like if he could teach them how to have the kind of experience he was selling to himself that would improve their lives, but he couldn't keep buying it himself

so then selling it to other people became a way of papering over the rot for himself, and that became the predictable death spiral more tragic than anything, seems to me
