Ok, so I thought this would best fit under this thread, but if you feel the need to move it, iceDAWWWG, then feel free.

Any ways, so I've found out about this website that exists called Sustained Action (www.sustainedaction.org) and what it is is basically a resource for information discussing the possibility of fabrication within the world that Castaneda himself painted. There is a lot fucked up stuff on this page, but I think the taker of the cake there is the recently released book that was written by a young woman who supposedly knew Castaneda for like 27 years(since she was 16), and it's all about how fucking nuts he was and how he used her and other women and some really bizarre shit. Not to mention the book his ex wrote, about how abusive and weird(with mental games and such) Carlos was. Carlos was married to Florinda Donner and Carol Tiggs, as well. There's some really indisputable information regarding how Carlos MUST have fabricated a great deal of what was in his books. However, I'm not too sure if he didn't believe it. I'll have to read the book that girl wrote. It sounds very interesting. Plus, she has a forum where she posts back to people that have questions regarding her and the other members of Cleargreen(including Carlos himself), so if any one had a question, they could even post it their for this young lady to answer. This... is... well a rather odd development to any Castaneda fan. I always thought Carlos seemed a little sexist, and a little nuttier than some, but... well... guess he was really nuts. Kinda strange, makes me want to talk to my friend's step-dad who knew Carlos, as a personal friend. I've seen one of Castaneda's old houses, it's out by my friend's parent's land, in Weber Park, CO. He wrote some shit that's influenced a lot of people's ideas, and he did supposedly study under some shamans, but some of the stuff he said and did and made up was not quite right. He got lost on his search for truth, and... well... it's fucked up. I don't know, I just thought that any one that's read Castaneda would want to know, check the shit out. It's weird.
