- Ok Jeff, I'll give you that about the Way of the Peaceful Warrior. However, I did
- think that Warrior Athlete had some good stuff in it. Come to think of WofPW was
- a lot like Illusions by Bach, and I agree Illusions was much better. I've read
- a little Castenada (years ago) but I dont recall Journey to Ixtlan. I'll have
- to check that out next time some peyote comes thru town ;-).
