I don't mean to be totally off-topic, or on-topic... I was just wondering if anyone has taken anything from anything else they've read and applied it to don juans teachings as well..

I recomend reading the posting "Gnostic Parallels in the Writings of Carlos Castaneda" on the Twilight Zone site

I found it very interesting.
