I have read Castaneda and know what this is talking about. From Castaneda's perspective, or rather, Don Juan and the shamanistic traditions explored in Castaneda's books, one counteracts this with many techniques. The primary technique is reorganizing one's energy output. Our "negative" emotions are food for certain energy beings. When one uses energy differently, and stops producing the energy of self-pity, self-indulgence, being offended, hating current circumstances, etc., one stops generating the food. When one stops generating the food, the energy body is able to grow and expand, as the beings usually taking food from the energy body leave, and find other sources of food.
This results in a situation whereby one becomes a very powerful being; a whole being in the sense of the energy body; a being in full expression and potential.
Of course, ridding one's self of the lifetime and collective human habits of self-pity and self-indulgence, and the various manifestations of these, is a considerable task, and takes constant vigilance.
