February 15-16, 1997 - Intensive Review Workshop on the Cal State University Long Beach campus. [Nury read the chapter from the book in progress, "Memorable Events" (published in 1998 as The Active Side of Infinity), detailing Castaneda’s encounter with the three inorganics in the desert who ask him for a ride. In it, Castaneda described the three as "a writer, an aspiring agent and a lesbian" (but strangely failed to connect up these descriptions with the obvious current counterparts of these "inorganics": the three whom he had previously referred to as "cyclic beings" in other workshops—Bruce Wagner, Tracy Kramer and Zaia Alexander—who had first known each other in grade school. [This chapter was not included in the final, published version of The Active Side of Infinity.]
I was living at Mattamuskeet Village until February 1997 at which time I was evicted, then stayed with my cousin Elizabeth until I could make other arrangements. Finally moved in with another cousin.
While living with my cousin, I watched Sonny and Cher show in TV Land Channel and recall watching Snow White, Night of Terror. In August they had started up the grain dryer behind my Aunt’s house. I remember stashing a valium I was given for a procedure which I never got basically because I forgot about it, and took one. I laid down in bed and I suddenly felt like I had died. I thought it was my grandmother who had already passed.
