    I'm interested in how well he integrated the belief systems of around
    5 billion people into his works - or if he even attempted to do so.

    Citations please - I have all his written works but haven't read most
    of them.

    ### - he gives/makes many references, but generally speaking; he has
    consigned 'all' religion/belief-systems to being mere concatenations of
    the rational mind attempting to rationalise what can never actually be rationalised...

    he predicates this on what he refers to as being an 'energetic' feature of
    our luminous (i.e., energetic) whole called: 'the assemblage point'

    this 'assemblage-point' (or: AP), and exactly where it's placed in our
    luminous whole, being directly responsible in terms of what one
    perceives...

    that the whole human race has this 'AP' fixated at one singular position
    alone, a position arrived at via training in the course of our rearing
    until it eventually becomes routinely/unconsciously locked into the same position in unison with everyone else's, reason and rationality being but
    a by-product of the very position it becomes locked into...

    thus all his teachings are about learning to first recognise the existence
    of it and then to 'move' this AP to alternate positions in a series of
    such moves until it reaches some kind of 'optimum' position, which he
    called: 'the position of total freedom'

    this is a difficult teaching to grasp intellectually, but he covers this
    quite well in 2 of his books: 'The fire from within' & 'The power of
    silence' (in that order) and which i recommend reading...

    CC's (i.e., Carlos Castanedas') accounts are of a 13 year apprenticeship,
    each of his books being written exclusively about this same 13 year
    period, each book then being a rewriting of it from a slightly different
    (i.e., progressive) position of his own AP and the resulting changes in perception/perspective & understanding he undergoes/experiences via this journey of his own AP over time as it reaches this 'optimum' position...
