Greetings  I came across the book "Teachings Of Don Juan" by Carlos Castaneda(in the 90's and read all the books written by him).Now the question is is this also some new age bullshit because as far as i remember (i read the last of his books in 94 or 95) it has things to do with the Yakui Indian tribes and also parts of Mayan and Aztec cultures and it is close to nature.Just came across some exercises it is called tensegrity before i start doing this just wanted to know if these are the proper exercises for us or no.If it is of the enemy plzzzz forgive me as i myself did not know.Have a lot to learn yet. Here is the link for youtube page  it has a lot of these exercises.. I really loved his books

I was a Carlos Castaneda fan since the 1980's and then I heard at some point he made up his stories, and really did not do all that he said. Nevertheless he really supports drug usage saying each person uses different things mescaline marijuana peyote either way it gave me the message drugs are okay important even and nothing can be further from the truth. Here we learn to finally reach godhood\priestesses and priests by empowering our souls thru meditations,
WITHOUT the aid of drugs.

Something to consider about any of Carlos's claims on anything:

Castaneda's works were presented as real-life accounts, but critics held that they were fictional. At first, and with the backing of academic qualifications and the UCLA anthropological department, Castaneda's work was critically acclaimed. Notable American anthropologists like Edward Spicer (1969) and Edmund Leach (1969)[13] praised Castaneda, alongside more alternative and young anthropologists such as Peter Furst, Barbara Myerhoff and Michael Harner.
The authenticity of Don Juan was accepted for six years, until Richard de Mille and Daniel Noel both published their critical exposés of the Don Juan books in 1976. Most anthropologists had been convinced of Castaneda's authenticity until then â€" indeed, they had had little reason to question it â€" but some averred that de Mille's analysis disproved the veracity of Castaneda's work. Later anthropologists specializing in Yaqui Indian culture (William Curry Holden, Jane Holden Kelley and Edward H. Spicer), who originally supported Castaneda's account as true, questioned the accuracies of Castaneda's work.[14]
In The Power and the Allegory, De Mille compared The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge with Castaneda's library stack requests at the University of California. The stack requests documented that he was sitting in the library when allegedly his journal said he was squatting in Don Juan's hut. One discovery that de Mille alleges to have made in his examination of the stack requests was that when Castaneda was alleged to have said that he was participating in the traditional peyote ceremonyâ€"the least fantastic episode of drug useâ€"he was sitting in the UCLA library and he was reading someone else's description of their experience of the peyote ceremony. Other criticisms of Castaneda's work include the total lack of Yaqui vocabulary or terms for any of his experiences.[15]

Lol. My dad likes Carlos, but I don't know if he actually believes his
work to be legit, or just fiction. Either way, 'tis newage bullshit.

@Don, do you mean literal bodies? As in, people were killed in said cult?
