ciao filitsa, i love Castaneda and this book is too complicated ..i know it depends from the concentration of peyote he had taken and since im NOT a peyote eater there's no way...
On the other hand i've understood deeply the meaning of "alliance"

Alliance is an interesting concept. Alliance can go two ways: 1) to promote self interest, or 2) to promote the greater good of humanity. I believe Castaneda subscribed to the latter, peyote or no peyote.

Anyway, speaking of peyote, I recall an episode of Spin City that involved a character accidentally ingesting peyote. In his altered state of mind, he wrote himself a note that said - and I paraphrase: Once bread becomes toast, it can never again become bread.

the meaning of "ally" in Castaneda's world has nothing to do with your point ( if i can correct you ) is something who can help or kill you.
Is clear to me it is useful have a predisposition to “madness” in order to appreciate the significance of what he wanted to understand helped by Don Juan teaching.
As I am a big dreamer ... I tried to apply his teachings and I got some results.
For example I can change the course of dreams and sometimes im even able to see my open hands in a dream.
I know this may sound stupid (since i consider myself a rational person), but has enriched me.
Unfortunately I recently lost my last ally (I clearly felt the moment) and im without power now. He had finished his role of instruction, at least so I am led to believe. Now I'm waiting for another ally lead me to the next step.
I will always treasure the ally i had beside me before

I think we have a difference of opinion, Daniella, but that's okay.

I'm sorry about the loss of your ally. Sounds like he was more of a mentor than ally, but then that's none of my business.

Regards.

Miss me? I've only been gone 24 hours.


That would be "youngin'." Note the apostrophe at the end. For an old dude, you still have a lot to learn. Stick around.

ciao alex is better if you start with "a separate reality" written in 1971

For an old bag you're not as complete as you seem to think...
