Along my path, I experienced many paranormal and inexplicable events, which I found hard to believe, since my orientation was scientific and materialistic, and I was a born skeptic. I kept my mind open, formed no firm judgements, waiting for more info. I know from my experience that there are alternative perceptions to events in our world to that of our "common sense", and when I was looking for strange phenomena, I found it. I think there is a "reality" to all the things that people have believed in; spirits, ghosts, elves, fairies, demons, the astral entities, and even dragons. Like "what you believe is what you get".
For a while, I was intrigued by psi phenomena. I finally fell into the nagual, as Casteneda terms it, and was so shaken by the experience, thay even after it resulted in my awakening, I wanted nothing more to do with extraordinary phenomena, and for decades now, I have been at peace, enjoying "ordinary reality.

Understood. My own experiences with the Nagual were likewise disturbing (no, let me be real...they were terrifying) at first. I'm still very "unsettled" when working in that realm and have often thought, almost wistfully, of how easy it was when I was ignorant of it all.
I may reach your level of acceptance at some point, but until then, I'm still trying to improve my connection to Source through actively engaging in the practices laid out in the Toltec Path as taught by Castaneda and his student (my teacher).
As for "what you believe is what you'll get", you may very well be right there too. But again, for now it's working for me and in the end, that's really all I care about.
