My mother’s husband was a commercial fisherman – I was stopped by the sheriff and hauled to jail for driving without a license…

November 3, 1996 – Sunday session with Castaneda

Castaneda told us he used to fish for information about Taisha and Florinda from don Juan. Don Juan would say something like, "Florinda is having a strange time with her father," and Castaneda, his ears pricking up, would respond, "Oh, yes? What’s happening?" But don Juan would not fall for it; he would just point out to him, "You’re fishing." But the Blue Scout, he claimed, "is an artist at getting information like that, because she ‘sees.’" He said she would come to him and synopsize something that was happening. She would put out so many details that were right that he just assumed that she knew, so he would say a little bit more about it. Then she would get horribly angry and say, "Why didn’t you tell me!" Then he would realize she "didn’t know, that she just got it out of me," and he would not believe he had fallen for it again. "But it happens all the time. She mesmerizes me."

He claimed that she "mesmerized me when she was seven years old." He asserted that he took care of her for awhile when she was seven and did the same thing to him.
