Query: Poor imitation of Castaneda

Carlos Castaneda wrote a series of very well written books.....starting with a reasonably scientific, anthropological work in "The Teachings of Don Juan", and ending many books later in the realm of mythology. His books are eminently worth reading. This book, however, is nothing more than one woman's fantasy....trying to ride the coattails of Casteneda. It amazes me how many authors are continuing to invent more of Castaneda's Toltec "wisdom". I suspect Castaneda would be appalled, although he did go off the deep end at the end of his life, so perhaps he would have enjoyed the attention. In any case, if you are going to pursue a spiritual path, I would recommend that this is not the place to begin. Try something with some REAL history.....say Buddhism...or Sufism...or Yoga. Don't waste your valuable time on pseudo-Castaneda nonsense.
