25th Anniversary Update
The original Sustained Action website went up in 1999. That version of the website contained material that would be of interest to fellow Castaneda followers (workshop notes, summaries of private sessions with Castaneda) in an effort to lure them into reading the other material (e.g., chronologies of Castaneda and the Witches, reports on likely source material for Castaneda’s books) that would helpfully lead them to question their belief in Castaneda and the stories he insisted all his life were literally true. It included discussion pages where all kinds of theories about the Castaneda phenomenon and his teachings were hashed out at length. This was essentially a forum for helping to “deprogram” those of us who had become part of the Castaneda cult. Now, we are excited to introduce our revamped and updated website on Carlos Castaneda’s legacy, which continues this important mission.
At 25 years on, this site has been revamped to memorialize what we’ve since learned about Castaneda, his teachings and the cult he built around him. Since there are many, and not just in Cleargreen, who continue to quote Castaneda as a supposedly legitimate shamanic teacher and source of mystic truths, this site is intended as an ongoing antidote and reality check for those claims. Borrowing one of the terms Castaneda coined, this site and the work behind it is truly a “sustained action.” In contrast to the way he used the term, however, this action is in the interest of questioning would-be gurus, self reflection and basic integrity.
