If you think Castaneda represents true toltec teachings... I think that is false... It's common of them to ridicule new people LOL. I often hear preached when one sees no one is more or less greater... everything is equal. A warrior is light and fluid and strives for freedom... But they way they try to get you to this level is trying to limit your freedom by saying that their path is the only way. often if you haven't learned to "see," like they do they treat you as a lesser human.

I have spent a lot of time speaking with so called toltec masters under the castaneda doctrine, and I can tell you it is driven by big egos who also preach that the ego must be killed. Virtually none if it is really spiritual, it is meant to break your will unto them while preaching that it is the opposite!

I'd be wary of someone who ridiculed you. The only useful advice that I got from castaneda brand of toltec wisdom, is to not go against yourself. And to only follow the path with heart. Practice just those two things with your toltec teacher and you will see for yourself if he is truly a spiritual master...

and keep in mind if you spend time with actual native american sorcerers, attend sweat lodges and go on vision quests and so on... you will see for yourself that castaneda toltec sorcery in no way represents Native american sorcery.
