another book to check out in referance to Castaneda...
>>From the Washington Post Brian Doherty reviews Sorcerors Apprentice: My Life with Carlos Castaneda by Amy Wallace
"Castaneda assured Wallace that his magic sperm went straight to a womans brain, where it effected positive change and could not impregnate, as his lovers were merely human. He could read newspapers through his toes. With charisma based on such incredible claims, he kept everyone around him in constant anxiety by alternately offering warm approval and assaulting their inherent worth."<<
apparently his books have been linked to the poisoning deaths of several teenagers recently... he discribes using jimsonweed to get to 'an altered state of consciousness'... jimsonweed is highly toxic.
a couple of good pages on him
