Try searching "suicide in the church" on Google and you'll see how much info is out there on religious sites, and none of it deals with false statements, contrary to what you're claiming.

Personally, I’ve helped two people move past those kinds of thoughts when they didn't know the first thing about Castaneda's books. Before they met me, they were at church constantly and were suicidal. Today, they’re living life to the fullest and are actually grateful to me for it—they tell me all the time they can't believe how blind they used to be.

Don't get me wrong—I have massive respect for Jesus, and I find that Castaneda aligns with a lot of quotes in the Bible. The only difference is that Juan's teachings are built on practice, whereas the Bible is built on faith.

I've seen plenty of practical stuff for myself in what Juan talks about, so I'm not just talking nonsense or preaching straight from a book.

Now, if someone from their group committed suicide—I don't know—if it's true, I think they made a incredibly stupid move out of pure ignorance. We need to survive our lives and learn everything we can, period. So, frankly, I don't care, and I'm certainly not a fan of that kind of suicidal crap. I don't see why anyone would think that's okay or spiritual. It's just pathetic.🙄.

Check this out:
There are seven suicides mentioned in the Bible, mainly in Matthew 27:3-5 regarding Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.

And I totally agree with this:
According to Catholic Church theology, suicide is considered a grave or serious sin. The main Christian Catholic argument is that a single life is a property of God and a gift to the world, and destroying that life is an attempt to claim authority over what belongs to God, which is also a tragic loss of hope.

Anyway, let's not dive into Christianity right now—otherwise, you'll end up bringing up all those scandals involving priests, and we'll completely lose the thread of the conversation. Basically, I agree with the idea that if we are exploring new perspectives, exercises, or techniques, it should be to improve our current lives here and now. That's why it's vital to maintain a healthy sense of detachment from everything... including this Mexican Nagual philosophy.

Look, if you just type "suicide" and "Castaneda" into Google, you’ll stumble upon a million different articles floating around the web... yet you won't find a single one that actually addresses the blatant falsehoods contained within those pieces. 😉

Everything you need is on YouTube.

Oh yeah—since we're talking about suicides, why don't you tell me how many "true believers" kill themselves? You know, the ones praying every single day and hitting up every holy site they can find?

If you need a calculator for that, I think they probably undersold them at the dollar store.

If we're specifically talking about the women demonstrating the techniques in this video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWZMzcwIBJA

then, by all accounts, some of them aren't with us anymore... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KTaykipHWw

Does anyone happen to know if there's a video out there covering those exercises—ideally one where it isn't some girls who ended up taking their own lives demonstrating them? To put it another way... is there any other reliable source of information regarding these practices, or were the followers of Castaneda truly the only ones with any real insight into them?

It really seems like a zinc deficiency can absolutely wreck your immune system—I know from experience. Every single autumn, I used to deal with these nagging colds that would just drag on for months... but ever since I realized that my zinc levels were likely the culprit, I felt significantly better within just a few days. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that if you decide to take a zinc supplement in the morning, it’s probably a good idea to have something high in copper for dinner—maybe some peanuts or something similar—since taking too much zinc over time can actually lead to a copper deficiency in your system.

The thing is—throughout the entire movie, the humans don't even speak; it's just the animals doing all the talking. Plus, there's that layer of dark humor—like the whole bit about the extinction of the dodo birds... Given how much sheer chaos and destruction is going on, I honestly don't think this cartoon is really meant for kids.

It’s clear to me that you are truly a kind and compassionate soul... I think you'll be the very first person I reach out to via private message. 😁

Why am I unable to send private messages? I seem to be running into an issue here...
