Just FYI, Em. Castaneda was a phony. There's been all kinds of work written about how the whole thing was made up.
I did like those books, though.

from mtlouie on this thread
(I know, unfair to quote someone from another forum...)
I guess my take on all information is that I analyze it, take what I like,
test the things that I like, test some of what I don't like from the information
and see where any of it gets me,
if it is proven to be worthless, then I forget about it,
if it does something for me, then I use it.
so I guess what I am saying is that I don't care if the background info is right or wrong,
if it was channeled by a spiritual person or a fiction expert,
or written down by a very respectable person in the field,
I will deal with it all the same when I get it,
so I guess I don't get how something like that could be entirely worthless because of where it came from when some of its parts seem like they work when I test them.

I think the goal of the guy making that book is not my goal,
I hope to be more balanced when I get done

His books were interesting whether or not they were made up. They made me think and use my brain. I liked his writing. All I can say is take what you can use and leave the rest. It is always our choice to believe what we will. Who knows maybe in another time line it was all real. :-)

Anyone read Robert Henlein's work? (did I spell that right?) He played around with some interesting concepts on works of fiction actually being real in other realities. Interesting reads coming from a science fiction writer imho.

real only in another timeline...
that one will keep me thinking for a while

looks like it is spelled robert heinlein
the idea of fiction being real in another place seems right to me,
the talented people in that field seem like they are channeling it or doing some sort of remote viewing.

Another book Heinlein wrote which is interesting from a political standpoint is "For us the Living: A Comedy of Customs." I was not expecting this from him and well even though I may not agree on his concepts it was a good book. Interesting. Was that his political beliefs? I don't know. May be that he was just trying to make a point. No sure. Here is a link to more information about it.
It was written in the 30's and released in 2003.

I think I just got off subject....
