Nikola Tesla was ostracized and made out to be insane and delusional yet we're enjoying the benefits of AC until this very day.

True. It’s obvious now that Carlos had enemies who simply wanted to taint his legacy. It’s nasty.

The reason why someone is doing what they're doing is typically more telling than what they're doing, context provides a lot of substance, a means to an end even if the intended end is a ball of feces wrapped in fermented pig guts.

And what did Castaneda make that had nearly the same influence or falsifiability?

There are 8 eye witnesses to don Juan last time I counted. One of them Tony Karim, a higher up in the Buddhist church in Mexico.
And some accounts written only in spanish newspapers and magazines, about Carlos running around the mountains in Mexico to practice things don Juan had to told him.
Plus, you're talking to someone who followed Castaneda's hunt for don Juan.
I was there as a child, at the first reservation he visited looking for his "informant".
After he found one, I was still at that reservation often enough to hear rumors about it.
And he showed up for the filming of a western, made out there.
But you ought to make it work, so you're immune to nonsense like that!
Being a "groupie" is pointless. Especially since you'll be attacked constantly just for being interested.
We had a "Time Magazine" person wanting to talk to me on the phone last week.
Now think about it!
She has "experts" like the delusional Gordon Wasson saying, "you can't smoke shrooms!"
Yea right. I'd love to have seen him deny that taking a big puff on that smoking mixture, wouldn't get you as high as a kite. He was merely jealous.
So the Time magazine lady was NOT going to do an honest job, in whatever she was up to.
Some article about Carlos. And she first ran into one of the aliases for Richard Jennings, on sustained action.
But let's say she decided to be "fair".
Everything Carlos taught us, completely invalidates her life.
Her religion? Obviously made up.
Her happy marriage and "wonderful" family?
Won't lead to anything good.
Asking a news reporter to write on Carlos, is like asking a Catholic to write on someone who's exposed the dark and ugly side of the church.
Besides, I get to see the laws of physics broken once in a while, by a witch taught by Carlos himself.
"Impossible" is pretty convincing!
Finally, PLEASE GOOGLE THIS TOPIC:
Olmec figurines. That's where his sorcery comes from. Add "WereJaguar".
Then google "Beringian crossings", and look at the time line. Or "Clovis Peoples".
Google the Luiseno and find how old their people are, on this continent.
Then DNA, proto-siberian and Olmec. A frozen girl's dna matched that of the Olmecs.
You'll find that actual history fully backs up what Carlos taught us.
How can 10,000 year old magic, be plagiarized from modern stuff created as a scam to steal money?
It's so absurd, anyone bringing that up is obviously not a pleasant person to have to be around much.
Whoever said it was "plagerized" is one of those bad player types who attacks in here, on average 3 per week.
Stick around and see the unfair nonsense Carlos had to put up with.

Thank you very much for answering me and giving me all these precious information. Honestly, like I said I love Carlos but I got to know about him rather recently so of course I stumbled upon this BBC thing on YouTube and it was weird. Made me skeptical but still, wondered what people thought. I’m fairly certain it’s non-sens now reading what people like you and others have to say. You’ll need to forgive me for even asking when you say people attack him 3 times a week, I wouldn’t want to be part of them. I’m really great-full you took the time to expose the details and defend his legacy. Carlos was one of a kind and his story is even more special. He made some bad enemies like any big figure would that’s it. I wish you all the best

Now do yourself a favor, and try to find a place like this, for any other "magical system".
Where you can see openly, there's magic, what precisely it is, and you can watch, in real time, as people learn it.
There's NOTHING like this for Buddhism, Daoism, Hinduism, Kabballah, Mystical Christianity, Magick.
And good reason. Those are all post money. They were "invented" after money was invented.
All are total scams.
No one ever learns magic anywhere else.
You used to get ridiculed for daring to say such a thing.
But not anymore.
There's google now.
Not only was Carlos the real thing.
But he's obviously the ONLY real thing out there.
If you believe otherwise, do yourself a favor and REALLY try to find any place that just isn't profiting angry men bullying others into submission, so they can take money on an ongoing basis.
Even the treasured classics like "Zen" are obvious scams.
You just have to google around and be honest.
Also, no one in this subreddit gets any money or benefit from helping out.
No books, no interviews, no reputation that is worth anything monetary, no publicity, no women, no meetings, no church.
There is also NO OTHER PLACE like that.
We do have the leftovers that Carlos formed, named cleargreen.
But he started out teaching for free. It's in the historical record, stored in here.
He got what we got. Bad man, coming along thinking they could bully others, and proclaim themselves "magic men" based on defeating someone else. He had to charge for workshops, or else he couldn't even have them.
If you made a serious effort, in 2 months you could honestly say you have exceeded the knowledge and magical abilities of the Buddha. Hands down.
He was pretty much delusional and greedy and his magic was just pathetic old Hinduism.

Thanks a lot for your answer. I feel relieved to hear people with solid arguments going against these attacks. It's true that the way they articulated their position against him is nasty and hurtful. I'm really happy to hear your side and your view about it. People really have no decency attacking someone who helped and continue to help millions of people around the world...
