   Has anyone noticed this? And i know i’m thinking about this linearly…:

   Look on the bottom of page 104. The entry where Castaneda tries the Little Smoke is dated December 31, 1963. Now look at page 109. The entry AFTER this experience is dated December 28, 1963. How is this possible?!?!?!

   LoL.. good eyes… keep paying attention to things like that.. lol 😉

   don’t bother trying to figure out how or why.. lol 😉

   Interesting! I usually have the tendency to just skip over the dates that he wrote in the beginning, figuring it was just an early indulgence of his. I’ve never heard this mentioned before.

   Just found another one:
   Page 114 – His last recorded meeting with Mescalito, dated 9/12/64
   Page 119 – He recalls the meeting – 9/10/64
   Page 120 – ” 9/11/64

   i was told that his sense of time was distorted during his visits, but this is fuck’n weird!!! This is the first time i’m noticing this also. i also usually skip over the dates.

   It’s not that i think he was dumb, but when i think of this dilemmna, the wheels in my head stop turning. It’s like thinking of something that has always existed, and therefore has no beginning.

   and when the wheels stop turning, it’s time to think about something else…you’d be thinking about the unknowable…which is why i’m going to stop thinking about these time anomolies…right……..

   now. 😀
