I feel that it is necessary to step outside the teachings from time to time in order to get our bearings and remember that this path is only one of an infinite amount of perspectives.

I read lots of other books besides Castaneda, for a few different reasons.

I wouldn't want to just read only Castaneda all the time and nothing else. That, for me, turns it into boring repetition. That and I feel that it helps to step outside of the books now and then in order to allow them some time to sink in even more deeply. Plus everything I read, listen to, watch or view is colored by the nagual. And so I am constantly linking things together, and at the same time seeing the unnecessary for what it is. In this way I'm able to find amazement in many many things.

I think another accurate way of putting it is to say that I look into other areas for a momentary distraction. It helps to break any obsessiveness I may be harboring.
