In the 60s and 70s, if you had long hair, you knew Castaneda. Obviously. This American anthropologist has fascinated a whole generation of young people around the world. His books are less anthropological treatises than initiatory tales. But what stories to live!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I immediately found myself comfortable with his form of mind. It offered a very refreshing… and terribly effective philosophy of action!<\/p>\n I practiced Castaneda as we practice Nietzsche or Plato. I loved it as we love Nizan, Joyce or Proust. And then other feather heroes took the spotlight: Tolkien, Kerouac, Faulkner, Bukowski… In fact I still loved him, even though I had stopped practicing his philosophy.<\/p>\n So, twenty years later, when I found this dear Castaneda at the domain of Rochefort where my benefactor officiated, I celebrated him as an old friend and his philosophy was a breathtaking rediscovery. By practice, finally, I could understand what he was talking about.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jean-Claude Flornoy, my benefactor, has enriched his practice with his own discoveries on the way to Nagual. The Rochefort years were for me the test of fire. In the living, through daily action, I was able to verify the validity of this philosophy so criticized. It is by practicing a philosophy that we know it to be good or bad. For my taste, Castaneda\u2019s is perfect. This practice is very important to me. Actually, I never let it go again…<\/p>\n To practice a dead author, one has only his work. Or the timeline. One reads it, one meditates it, and one day his thought becomes ours. We\u2019ve been fighting. That\u2019s exactly what happened to me. Castaneda is a thinker, no doubt about that. He is also involved in his own practice, that of nagualism.<\/p>\n This practice is the recognition of his supremacy. Next to him, all philosophers are off. No sage survives. No thinker persists. Beyond the brain he relativizes, Castaneda is the head, the heart and the belly. He plays the subtle muscles, unleashes the magic of the mind and teaches the prowess of the body. No need for yoga when you have Castaneda. No need for Buddha…<\/p>\n We stink of the head.<\/p>\nTwenty years after<\/h4>\n
