Abduction Questions?

Carlos Castaneda and Anthropological Fraud

Here's a lawyer in Canada who makes sure his readers know for sure that Carlos Castenada was a fraud. And, while he makes an excellent case, some of Castenada's ideas were indeed NEW at the time and really first explained by him - such as controlled lucid dreaming. That said, this link - http://fdbgasrgq.blogspot.com/2009/10/carlos-castaneda-and-anthropological.html makes for good reading and a desire to dig into what this guy has written about over the years. I know that his find of this anti-Castenada book was new to me

Synesthesia - Here's a real over the top topic for you on your weekend. "An example of this is the bouba/kiki effect. In an experiment first designed by Wolfgang Köhler, people are asked to choose which of two shapes is named bouba and which kiki. 95% to 98% of people choose kiki for the angular shape and bouba for the rounded one.....Even 2.5 year-old children (too young to read) show this effect.[61]" Here's the link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synaesthesia#Links_with_other_areas_of_study

By the way - check out where my only Castenada post ended up about 8 weeks ago - http://news.senseoflive.com/category/carlos-castaneda/
