This fella has a network of articles about Vedanta, Zen, Buddhism, Shamanism and the overall spiritual path.
He has a nice recollection of scriptural and textual knowledge, apart from a number of histories of his own, but in spite of his spiritual achievement (he is, apparently, a realized soul or jivanmukta *free while living*) he fails to know a number of things, particularly of the nagual path.
For starters, this guy says he meet briefly Castaneda before his apprenticeship under Don Juan. He speculates that the Death Defier is sort of a hungry inorganic being and even questions the veracity of Castaneda's writings. Nothing in his website suggests the development of the second attention, dreaming and seeing.
Still, this guy is for real. He learned, at some point, from a man of spells in Jamaica and had several encounters with powerful individuals, both yogis and shamans.
Apparently he was only fleetingly interested in these things. He was (is) only interested in enlightenment. He achieved nirvikalpa samadhi in his early thirties (he is now seventy two).
Several decades later he started this Awakening 101 Free Dharma Web Course with him as the anonymous author / contributor. His humble efforts are paying up... and as a funny detail, he has Paris Hilton in his friends list (on MySpace). Paris wanted to learn from him.
Worthy of looking up.
