I also want to make note, of Afghooey's thread about being Wizards.
When Don Juan speaks of Sorcery, he's not talking about making potions and adding this to that, 1 + 2. He's talking about the Alchemical processes of your own Inner Perceptions, and learning how to use our own Dynamic Power to influence those perceptions, and therefore effecting the external world.

The Matrix "Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Spoon boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself. "
