I read Carlos Castaneda's early works many years ago, and I have come to read and study the teachings of G. I.

I went to the book presentation in Baltimore, not knowing what to expect especially after WPP's claim that "Shown concept-by-concept, is the primary source of Castaneda's ideas--Gurdjieff's Fourth Way." In the actual book i believe there are couple of attempts to bring together the two - but primarily it was "silencing the internal dialogue" that was seen as the only connecting link between Castaneda and Gurdjieff.

How could a man who seemed to have seen so much of "the other side," who purported to understand so much of what lived there, and who worked to "help" others through his knowledge die in an atmosphere of need, fear, and anger? How could Carlos Castaneda move from searching for the "Path of Heart" to domineering and degrading those closest to him in the name of personal evolution?
