The Aussie journalist is now thankfully dead. He was a pathetic chaser of the cynical. I don't are if Carlos Castaneda was "genuine" , he portayed the archetype of the warrior's journey and If that enlightens the West to deeper knowledge, all power to his legacy

I no longer have any interest in giving my power to god to change the world. I will change my world. That is my reality and I am god of it. As far as the material world, it will continue after I die. I am not in control of it. I am content with that

There's a mystery that can't be proven by "logical" science. It could be a late night dream that awakes us with a start, or an experience that awakens a pagan fear but it's a something that logic can't explain.
At deaths door does "logic' give solice? Balance in all things.....

I'ver sat with gurus in India and lived with the holy weed for thirty years and my conclusion is that ganga is used as a shortcut to to the hard work that is enlightenment. Why do we in the West always look for the easy way?
Yep, I don't smoke anymore and I have learned so much...... Ahh but I needed smoke to realise this....

Intersesting.... I challenged all habits after leaving jws....
This blew my ego away, so I understood the humanity in conscious habit but the devil is in unconscious repetition.
Awareness in action!!

Goofy GB illustration someone related to me
by sir82 inapparently gb member geoff jackson gave this illustration at a dc talk recently:.
imagine you are watching an (american) football game - your team is behind by 6 points and time is nearly expired.
your team's quarterback throws a long pass, and a receiver makes the catch and is streaking toward the end zone.

Maybe we could further the illustation........ and the player stopped, realising that he had no ball!
All that sprinting was pointless.....

I can only speak for myself OUTLAW but when pain overwhelms my life, it's a sure bet that I have been ignoring something major that needs addressing. With out pain, I am too damn lazy to change.
The end may be in a figurative sense. The end of negative thoughts or habits, which opens up a whole new range of possibilities.
Remember, all things must pass....
