Castaneda visits Matus on Sept. 30, unable to slough off the "shallow states of non-ordinary reality," and feeling his anxiety worsening. Unusually preoccupied, Matus diagnoses a "loss of soul" and true bewitching. From a list of activities prior to hallucinations, Matus pinpoints when he loses his soul, but not who is trying to sicken or kill him. He prescribes specific bodily positions to perform on his "beneficial spot", while he finds the culprit and tries to get his soul back. In an extreme crisis, Castaneda can hurl rocks at the enemy accompanied by a loud war cry.
