The trouble being not having either an exact author name nor title.
Only a very general sense of when it was published. About all that can be inferred is that is any work published before 1990’ish would be too “new” to have include Nestor’s book as a reference.

i found a used copy at a bookseller in germany (which is next to the country where i am) and ordered it. maybe i can scan it with a proper bookscanner at the university and provide it to the sub. if not i can at least make photos of the pages and provide them. i don’t know if this book is the right trail to nestor’s book, but the coincidence of it being available here in europe, right when i was searching for it, made me go for it.
Seems like a good idea.
Which remind me to buy the magical passes book for my animators. I keep pointing them to some UAZONE pages which aren’t always reliable.
This time my animators actually took a raw DVD of passes, edited out all the comments and text screens, and listed all of the passes from the Mashing Energy for Intent series, in a single video.
Because I promised them they could charge me as if that were 4 jobs instead of one.
And get paid for each part as they finish it.
It’ll be invaluable if they can work from the raw DVDs and the book.
I just don’t recall if the book has all of the passes from the DVDs in it.
But since they’re willing to edit video pieces together, I suppose it doesn’t matter much.
I’m headed to Peru on Sunday. I have a vague memory that someone found this already, is that correct?
Or are you still looking for this?
Don’t let constructive criticism bum you out about this place.
We’d rather be honest and see people succeed, than pander and have people stick with choices that will torpedo their progress.
Thanks Techno. I get it, it’s for a reason
any answer?
“.. That almost certain would have been Nestor.
Maybe Pablito, though I doubt it: Nestor was the one instructed by Porfirio (Silent Knowledge) and Vicente about how to speak with plants. ..”
i stumbled over this in the books while searching for nestor, all-one-pdf p754, eagle’s gift, chapter 3 - quasi memories of the other self, p28:
“.. After listening to my account, Nestor marveled at how different their dreaming was from mine. They had particular dreaming tasks. His was to find cures for anything that ailed the human body. Benigno’s task was to predict, foresee, find a solution for anything that was of human concern. Pablito’s task was to find ways to build. Nestor said that those tasks were the reason why he dealt with medicinal plants, Benigno had an oracle, and Pablito was a carpenter. He added that, so far, they had only scratched the surface of their dreaming and that they had nothing of substance to report. ..”
update 2026-01-26: nestor was a practical botanist and nestor also was a carpenter:
from “Castaneda Compendium - All Books, Notes & Periodicals.pdf”, p1344, July 23-25, 1993 - Florinda, Taisha, Carol and the Chacmools? first workshop, at the Rim Institute in Arizona.
“.. Florinda also claimed they (the witches) had just returned from visiting Lidia and Rosa in Mexico. She said that they had become curanderos, and were trying to find a way to transfer the AIDS virus from people into trees. “Soon trees will be dying all over Mexico,” Florinda joked. When asked about Pablito and Nestor, she said they had become master carpenters, and had a thriving business in Oaxaca. Soledad, Florinda said, was a producer of soap operas in Mexico City. What became of the others, she didn’t say. [Beginning in May 1995, these “other apprentices” were said to have been recently whisked away by don Juan into the Second Attention.) ..”
from “Castaneda Compendium - All Books, Notes & Periodicals.pdf”, p1256, body mind spirit magazine - december 1992, Interviewed by Ken Eagle Feather and Carol Kramer:
"BMS: What happened to the people Carlos Castaneda wrote about in his books?
Donner: We are often with the little sisters – Lydia, Josefina, and Rosa – and the Genaros – Nestor, Pablito, and Benigno – either in Mexico or Los Angeles. However, their pursuits are different from ours. They are struggling to formulate and attain concrete goals extremely similar to the goals of the sorcerers of antiquity. For instance, Nestor, a practical botanist, wants to find a plant or clump of plants in the tundra which, according to the sorcerers’ calculations, are over 300,000 years old. He wants to find them and sell them to Japanese pharmacologists for their regenerative properties. He thinks that those plants will enhance the sexual potency of men.
