 That's true, we didn't take the step Castaneda took - because most of us earned our degrees honestly, through the use of actual research and without resorting to plagiarism. Anyway, I don't know what ""step"" you're talking about exactly since Castaneda was chosen for his path, where his only purpose at the time was to do an interview for his paper. —Preceding unsigned comment added by

 Just let it go.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by

 == Carlos Castaneda Audio/radio Interview == 

 Does anyone know how to get or listen to the ""Radio interview with Carlos Castaneda - 1968 ""Don Juan: The Sorcerer""? Or whatever it may be called? Is it on the Internet? 

  
 It's available through the Pacifica Radio Archives: http://www.archive.org/details/DonJuanTheSorcerer-CarlosCastanedaInterviewedByTheodoreRoszak 

 I'll add it to the External links section
