[D-G] aging

[Harald Wenk]

Hello,

I refere to the french original from 1980 in a own translation.
Castanenda was very popular at that time, as far as I know he got a
Ph.d. in Ethnology, which leads to a lot of protest.
Especially one Ethnologist, Richard de Mille,  of another University  
claimed in a series of articles, that
there is nothing real experienced in his books that it is unbelievable to  
give hinm a Ph.d for lies - there is a remark in BWO of that.
The systematic place of Castanead seems to be a productive use of drugs  
leading to a BWO.
I didn't understand why d+g in her examples of practices refer to this
a little dangerous and uncertain drug things, while their relation to  
Yoga, with no drugs and pain at all, is mere ambivalent.
There were a lot  of people talking of Castabenda experiences and doing  
nothing than
being a normal drug consumer - as you can imagine sometimes drifting in  
severe addiction.

Dr. Harald Wenk (mathematician)
