There is a big difference between reality and the image we make. For Castaneda, we spend our lives dressing our perceptions to make them presentable, say ideologically correct. On this point, the vision of shamanism joined that of quantum physics. Which validates one as the other. Here is the mechanism of the dressing. Whenever we witness an unprecedented event – flash of energy or any other abnormal thing – we do not see it in its truth, which for us is nothing. Instead, this perception is dressed with familiar elements from our own database, which Castaneda calls inventory. This person will see the Virgin, another will see aliens, a third will see Buddha. Everyone sees the mysteries according to what one is and what one believes. This does not mean that the mysteries do not exist, quite the contrary. They exist and are irreducible, even frightening.
