Carlos Castenada did not begin writing til the mid 60's.
So far as I know, the House of Justice has never commented on him.

Sorry for my incorrect question... Of course I'm looking for comment from Universal House of Justice.

In any case, whoever and whatever he was, the Baha'i scriptures are quite specific that there will be no further major Divine Messenger either now or any time in the near future--meaning for at least (appoximating) the next 850 years.

There is no contradiction with this... It's theory of Castaneda and I want to know how to concern.

I've read all the Castaneda books a few times, but don't see much in the way of correspondences between them and the Baha'i Faith...
