NURY ALEXANDER WAS THE ADOPTED DAUGHTER OF CARLOS CASTANEDA

Nury Alexander was the daughter, lover, and protégé of Carlos Castaneda, and here I will share the information I find about her.

HER LIFE

Nury was born on September 4, 1957, in Los Angeles, California. She met Castaneda in this city when she was 19 and he was 50.

Castaneda made her his favorite lover and also a very valuable and powerful figure within his group, transforming her into the second most important person after him.

For two decades Nury lived in a fantasy world behaving like a haughty, petulant and contemptuous child, until Castaneda died in 1998.

Desperate, Nury traveled to the Death Valley desert where years later remains of her skeleton were found.

HER DIFFERENT NAMES

Castaneda asked his disciples to change their names, and Nury did so as well.

Her birth name is Patricia Lee Partin, she was affectionately called Patty.

After meeting Castaneda, she changed her name to Nury Alexander. Nury (with a y) appears on her original name change application, but Nuri (with an i) appears on other legal documents.

She was also known as Claude.

HER STATUS IN CASTANEDA GROUP

Castaneda declared that the Blue Explorer was "an entity of consciousness" that he described as a luminous, elongated being of brilliant blue color that inhabits the world of inorganic beings. It is considered an explorer because it has the ability to cross over into the reality of human beings.

And according to Castaneda, the Blue Explorer crossed over and transformed into Nury, but that is false because Nury was not a superhuman entity but a simple ordinary person.

MORE LIES

Castaneda also claimed that Nury was the daughter he had with Carol Tiggs (the nagual woman), but this assertion is also false because historical data shows that Nury's parents were others.

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

The audience then asked her how she avoided having energy holes since Castaneda stated in his books that having children creates holes in the 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 explorers, 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.

This explanation is also false since there are no "explorers" mentioned by Castaneda.

And when Carol was later asked about this matter, she didn't address Florinda's story about parthenogenesis, but simply twirled around the edge of the platform, like a model on a fashion runway, asking, "Do you see any holes?"

At the workshop held from May 26-29, 1995 at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York, tensegrity instructor  Nyei Murez also stated that: "The Blue Scout is the daughter of Carol Tiggs. Carol Tiggs gave birth to her."

And Nyei also stated that the Blue Scout had been "missing for about ten years, from seven to seventeen chronological years old," returning approximately one year before Tiggs.

But if you read Nury's and Carol's biographies, you'll see that all of this assertions are lies. 

PHOTOS

Nury imitated Castaneda's habit of remaining very secretive, but over time some photos of her have been found.

The following photo was taken from her school yearbook when she was a teenager:

These photos were taken from a video filmed in 1997 when Nury was 40 years old.

NURY DESCRIBED BY JACOBO GRIMBERG

Jacobo Grinberg was a famous Mexican scientist who became interested in shamanism; in 1991 he spent a week with Carlos Castaneda and his witches, and regarding Nury he mentioned the following:

« Castaneda invited the men of the group to accompany him and together we went to find his daughter Nuri, a thin and extraordinarily sensitive girl, dressed as a man, who surprised me with her understanding of the Synteric theory.

She asked me about my occupation and I told her about my work at the University and the research on the synteric theory hypothesis.

Her understanding was direct and complete, as if my explanation had been perfectly engraved in her mind.

. . .

Castaneda and his nagual wife had had a daughter, and she was the thin girl we had met on the first day.

Nuri 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. »

(In reality, Castaneda had adopted Nury, who was not a child since in 1991 she was already 34 years old but behaved as if she were a child.)

NURY DESCRIBED BY AMY WALLACE

The writer Amy Wallace was part of Carlos Castaneda's inner circle and also one of his lovers, and regarding Nury she commented the following:

« One woman in particular held a special place in Castaneda's group; she was known as Nury Alexander or the Blue Explorer. Supposedly, she was the most important being on this planet apart from the Nahual Castaneda, since she was the one who would lead us all to infinity.

But in reality she was Patty Partin, a 19-year-old waitress whom Castaneda had seduced somewhere in Southern California and who had been completely brainwashed, and whose bones were discovered in Death Valley in 2003.

Castaneda had taken the strange step of adopting Patty as his daughter in the 1990s, and he was also sexually active with her, which made her adoption as his daughter take on a completely strange atmosphere. Do you know what he told me once? He said, "You have the same vagina as my daughter, that's why I love her so much."

For almost twenty years, Nury lived with Castaneda, and despite her gray hair, she behaved like a child, claiming she had been trapped in another dimension since she was seven. She played with dolls and spoke like a little girl.

Castaneda told me: "Nury was seven years old when she first got into my bed, she climbed on top of me and thump, thump, thump! She wanted to do it at seven years old ... and we did! What could I do? I couldn't resist... she sexually assaulted me while I was asleep! »

NURY DESCRIBED BY RICHARD JENNINGS

Richard Jennings was a student of Castaneda during his later years; he knew Nury well, and about her he commented the following:

« What if everything about you was a lie? If your origin and whole life story was the fantastic, grandiose concoction of a famous and powerful man who came into your life in your late teens and then dictated how and where you would live, supporting you all the while, for the next 20 years? Who would you be and how could you carry on after that man died?

Nury Alexander found she could not continue under those circumstances. When her inventor/creator ceased being around to maintain her on the absurdly high pedestal he had erected for her, she inevitably fell to earth and died. Welcome to the Blue Scout Chronology.

When they met, she was an attractive 19-year-old high school dropout, whose grades in school had been poor at best. Raised in a small, rural town, she was emotionally scarred by the crippling accident her doting father had suffered when she was only 11. The tragic accident caused her really to lose both parents, because not only did her severely brain damaged father have to go into nursing homes, her mother’s grief made her totally self absorbed, with no time or attention for her pre-teen daughter.

As a result, Patty grew up deeply narcissistically wounded and emotionally immature. Her friends of that time report that she escaped not only into drinking and drugs, but also fantasies of finding Hollywood stardom. When she met the man who had the financial and creative resources to give her that stardom and sense of specialness she sought, that she could never have attained on her own, she was totally ensnared. In return she gave him the one thing she had going for her: strong sexual energy and a sense of abandon.

In Castaneda world, the former Denny’s waitress with little education became an other worldly, cosmically advanced figure whose supposed creativity and narcissistic whims were indulged to the hilt.

Castaneda eventually adopted her as his daughter, so their intense sexual relationship also took on an incestuous edge. And she used her position as the pinnacle and arbiter of the Castaneda cult’s social hierarchy to attract young female lovers, who desperately competed for her favors and attention.

And all her bills and luxuries were fully paid for by her creator/lover/father. Given her arrested development and unchecked narcissism, her main activities when not having sex with her father or young female lovers were those of a child: playing with dolls and going to amusement parks. 

So this was the person Castaneda held up not only to his inner circle but also to those of us in the Sunday group and much larger contingent of Tensegrity workshop goers as the most evolved and cosmically attuned being–the one who was not only “ready to go” into the wonder of the infinite, but also to lead Castaneda’s group on its ultimate journey. Castaneda and his fellow supposed disciples of don Juan built her up to us before we ever met her, and Castaneda then oversaw and carefully scripted her handful of public speeches.

In reality, of course, she was only a special, cosmically wondrous creature in Castaneda’s eyes and storytelling. No wonder she couldn’t see a way to continue when her creator died. Failing to join the other four women closest to Castaneda on their well-planned suicide pact trip, she took off to Death Valley on her own, abandoning her red Ford Escort–its plates stripped, empty of luggage or anything else–to walk into the burning desert to her death at age 40. »

CONCLUSION

Nury was a young woman who fell for Carlos Castaneda's deceptions. He built her a fantasy world where she was the princess, but after Castaneda died, Nury couldn't return to the real world and ended up dying prematurely at the age of forty. She was yet another victim of this writer.
