A Separate Reality

I've been reading a bit about latter-day Carlos Castaneda, after setting up his cult compound, Tensegrity, all that business.

The events after his death are a Delta Green scenario waiting to happen.

E.g. http://www.salon.com/2007/04/12/castaneda/

This bit -
"He’d become disillusioned with another hero, Timothy Leary, who supposedly mocked Castaneda when they met at a party, earning his lifelong enmity."

- made me think of Johann Hari. another writer of imaginative veracity, who took umbrage when the Dalai Lama made a (pretty tame) gag about him being fat, and heaped scorn on said lama in print whenever a paper-thin pretext present itself.

Carlos Castaneda vs Johann Hari. Maybe our parents were right and the 60s really were better.
