You know, probably everyone gets into Castaneda, or something spiritual with the idea that they will acquire something that they don't have now.
(Thanks, Mr. Obvious!)

The root of this, IMO, is the search for power. We've felt lost, victimized, powerless... and at some point we get angry and want to have some control, and we start controlling people and things around us. Simply acquiring knowledge, as in Castaneda's system, a knowledge that most people won't be familiar with, makes us superior and more powerful and in control, in the know... we have the truth, or at least more truth than 'they' do.

This should all be observed. Watch your intent. And remember that power is one of the natural enemies of man. It, too, is just as illusory as fear and clarity.
All your ambition, all your goals, are related to power and acquiring something.

I'm not saying give it up and be an average human.
I've been saying there's nothing average about being human.

Anyway, I'm not prescribing behaviour for anyone either. I'm just reminding you what you have to look forward to. Search, find, acquire... go crazy. The result will be the same as when you thought you were powerless. Then what?

Don't just agree with me. Don't give up your search. Find out for yourself. I'm just saying this so maybe you'll find out quicker.
