Carlos and I
I started writing Moose in the style of Castaneda. I know many people doubt Carlos and question whether Don Juan even existed or is just a construction out of ideas. Either way, recollected or created, Carlos is a genius and there is not much difference between recollection and construction; both are the mind creating ex-nihilo …

“And I see my father once again, eternally once again. And as the moment fades, I realize I have recreated this scene countless times. And each time I forget that I had created it not long ago. “Longing is powerful,” I say out loud to no one but myself.”

“Okay, so this is how it works. You exist now, there is no other time. You think that your life is proceeding from A–Z with all points in between. Life is birth, childhood, puberty, adulthood, middle age, old age, death. Right? This is what you believe. But it is not so. You exist now and only ever now. You change your probable pasts as you change your potential futures from your current moment of existence. And this moment is eternal. You create both the past and the future at the same time, like you exist between two mirrors, each reflecting all versions of you and your choices both ways.”

“There is no such thing as a status-quo person. We are just individuals with incredibly diverse thoughts and lives who lend bits of ourselves to the machine called the status quo. We lend our bits to keep the machine running, the machine that is the world economy, the cities and towns, the roads and the sewers and the hydro and the internet. But go into any portion of the machine and you meet people, lovely, lively, dynamic, amazing beings full of life and drama.”
