THE SCOUTS REVEALED BY CARLOS CASTANEDA

Carlos Castaneda stated that in the world of inorganic beings there are "entities of consciousness" that are called 'scouts' because they have the ability to cross over into the reality of human beings.

Castaneda briefly mentioned the concept of explorers in his book 'The Fire from Within' referring to the allies as "fabulous scouts".

But it is in his book 'The Art of Dreaming' where Castaneda spoke at length and introduced his account of the Blue Scout's liberation from the inorganic realm, describing extensively the use of explorers in dreams.

Supposedly, Don Juan first described them as “a strange current of energy” that is “injected” into our dreams. (p. 84)

Don Juan instructs Castaneda about 'the second door of sleep' explaining that "it is reached and crossed only when a dreamer learns to isolate and follow the foreign energy scouts." (p.107)

Don Juan also supposedly tells him that “[w]aking up in another dream or changing dreams is the drill devised by the old sorcerers to exercise a dreamer’s capacity to isolate and follow a scout,” id., just as looking for one’s hands in dreaming is the drill to initiate “dreaming” attention. 

TWO EXPLORERS BECOME HUMAN WOMEN

Castaneda stated that one of these entities, known as the Blue Scout because it is a luminous being of bright blue color, crossed over into the reality of human beings and transformed into a young woman who was known among Castaneda's followers as Nury Alexander.

And Castaneda also stated that one of these entities, known as the Orange Scout because it is a luminous being of bright orange color, also crossed over into the reality of human beings and transformed into another woman who was known among Castaneda's followers as Tycho Thal.

Castaneda and his witches also declared that Nury Alexander and Tycho Thal were their daughters.

For example, in 1991, scientist Jacobo Grinberg spent a week with Carlos Castaneda and his witches, and regarding Nury, he mentioned the following:

"Castaneda and his nahual wife told us they had a daughter, and she was the slender girl we had met on the first day. Nury was intelligent and perceptive, like a blade of steel. However, there was something about her that was still undefined; something that still needed to mature."

At the workshop held from July 23 to 25, 1993 at the Rim Institute in Arizona, the witch Florinda Donner announced that the Orange Scout  was her daughter, and the Blue Scout was the daughter of Carol Tiggs.

The audience then asked him how he avoided having energy holes since Castaneda stated in his books that having children creates holes in your luminous egg.

Florinda explained that a sorceress could simply cause one of her eggs to begin dividing “by an act of will,” but that normally no warrior would want that because it would cause a huge “energy hole.” But in the case of the scouts, she stated that they had their own energy, but no body, so they could be conceived and born without sex and without causing energy holes in the mother.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS MATTER

The reality is that Nury Alexander was not the daughter of Carlos Castaneda or Carol Tiggs, and Tycho Thal was not the daughter of Florinda Donner either, since historical data shows that those two women had other parents.

Nor was Nury Alexander the embodiment of the Blue Scout, nor was Tycho Thal the embodiment of the Orange Scout.

Nury Alexander was an ordinary girl named Patricia Lee Partin, and Castaneda met her in 1976 when she was 19 years old and working as a waitress at a Denny's restaurant.

She became Castaneda's adopted daughter and lover until he died in 1998. After which, finding herself desperate, she traveled to the Death Valley desert where she died under dramatic circumstances.

Tycho Thal was also an ordinary woman whose real name was Premajyoti Galvez y Fuentes.

When she became seriously ill in 1996, her role as an “Explorer” in the group ended, and by mid-1997 she had received financial compensation and was exiled from Castaneda's group.

CONCLUSION

The scouts from the inorganic world were another lie invented by Carlos Castaneda to supernaturally exalt his new recruits and lovers.
