Carlos Castaneda

A Yaqui way of knowledge.The teachings of don Juan is the story of a remarkable journey: the first awesome steps on the road to becoming a "man of knowledge" -- the road that continues with A Separate Reality and Journey to Ixtlan. "For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel, looking, looking, breathlessly." -- Don Juan

Casteneda, an anthropologist who has studied the world of shamans of ancient Mexico, reveals the strand of continuity of the teachings of the ancient shamans in quotes selected from eight of his books. Brief excerpts are placed alone on each page, followed by commentary by Casteneda on each book. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

"Ordinarily, events that change our path are impersonal affairs, and yet extremely personal. My teacher, don Juan Matus, said this is guiding me as his apprentice to collect what I considered to be the memorable events of my life…. Don Juan described the total goal of the shamanistic knowledge that he handled as the preparation for facing the definitive journey: the journey that every human being has to take at the end of his life. He said that what modern man referred to vaguely as life after death was, for those shamans, a concrete region filled to capacity with practical affairs of a different order than the practical affairs of daily life, yet bearing a similar functional practicality. Don Juan considered that to collect the memorable in their lives was, for shamans, the preparation for their entrance into that concrete region, which they called the active side of infinity."In this book written immediately before his death, anthropologist and shaman Carlos Castaneda gives us his most autobiographical and intimately revealing work ever, the fruit of a lifetime of experience and perhaps the most moving volume in his oeuvre.

Carlos Castaneda takes the reader into the very heart of sorcery, challenging both imagination and reason, shaking the very foundations of our belief in what is "natural" and "logical."In 1961, a young anthropologist subjected himself to an extraordinary apprenticeship with Yaqui Indian spiritual leader don Juan Matus to bring back a fascinating glimpse of a Yaqui Indian's world of "non-ordinary reality" and the difficult and dangerous road a man must travel to become "a man of knowledge." Yet on the bring of that world, challenging to all that we believe, he drew back. Then in 1968, Carlos Castaneda returned to Mexico, to don Juan and his hallucinogenic drugs, and to a world of experience no man from our Western civilization had ever entered before.

In Journey to Ixtlan, Carlos Castaneda introduces readers to this new approach for the first time and explores, as he comes to experience it himself, his own final voyage into the teachings of don Juan, sharing with us what it is like to truly “stop the world” and perceive reality on his own terms.Originally drawn to Yaqui Indian spiritual leader don Juan Matus for his knowledge of mind-altering plants, bestselling author Carlos Castaneda immersed himself in the sorcerer’s magical world entirely. Ten years after his first encounter with the shaman, Castaneda examines his field notes and comes to understand what don Juan knew all along—that these plants are merely a means to understanding the alternative realities that one cannot fully embrace on one’s own.

Carlos Castaneda takes the reader into the very heart of sorcery, challenging both imagination and reason, shaking the very foundations of our belief in what is "natural" and "logical."Don Juan concludes the instruction of Castaneda with his most powerful and mysterious lesson in the sorcerer's art—a dazzling series of visions that are at once an initiation and a deeply moving farewell.

After six years of study and meditation, the author presents a book which takes the reader on a journey of the soul via the teachings of the great sorcerer, Don Juan. Like layers of an onion, the author reveals that there are worlds existing within our own that can be visited through dreams.

Carlos Castaneda takes the reader into the very heart of sorcery, challenging both imagination and reason, shaking the very foundations of our belief in what is "natural" and "logical."His landscape is full of terrors and mysterious forces, as sharply etched as a flash of lightning on the deserts and mountains where don Juan takes him to pursue the sorcerer’s knowledge—the knowledge that it is the Eagle that gives us, at our births, a spark of awareness, that it expects to reclaim at the end of our lives and which the sorcerer, through his discipline, fights to retain. Castaneda describes how don Juan and his party, left thisworld—"the warriors of don Juan’s party had caught me for an eternal instant, before they vanished into the total light, before the Eagle let them go through"—and how he, himself, upon witnessing such a sight, jumped into the abyss.

Carlos Castaneda takes the reader into the very heart of sorcery, challenging both imagination and reason, shaking the very foundations of our belief in what is "natural" and "logical."Back from the abyss, Castaneda encounter his greatest test on the journey towards impeccability and to outwit and overpower the sorcery of Doña Soledad, herself transformed from a defeated and meaningless life to a warrior, a hunter and a "stalker of power."Now the combat will begin. Now the journey will continue. Till the last danger is faced...the final paradox embraced.

Carlos Castaneda takes the reader into the very heart of sorcery, challenging both imagination and reason, shaking the very foundations of our belief in what is "natural" and "logical."Fire from Within is the author's most brilliant thought-provoking and unusual book, one in which Castaneda, under the tutelage of don Juan and his "disciples," at last constructs, from the teachings of don Juan and his own experiences, a stunning portrait of the "sorcerer's world" that is crystal-clear and dizzying in its implications.Each of Carlos Castaneda's books is a brilliant and tantalizing burst of illumination into the depths of our deepest mysteries, like a sudden flash of light, like a burst of lightning over the desert at night, which shows us a world that is both alien and totally familiar—the landscape of our dreams.

Carlos Castaneda takes the reader into the very heart of sorcery, challenging both imagination and reason, shaking the very foundations of our belief in what is "natural" and "logical."The Power of Silence is Castaneda's most astonishing book to date—a brilliant flash of knowledge that illuminates the far reaches of the human mind. Through don Juan's mesmerizing stories, the true meaning of sorcery and magic is finally revealed. Honed in the desert of Sonora, the visions of don Juan give us the vital secrets of belief and self-realization that are transcendental and valid for us all. It is Castaneda's unique genius to show us that all wisdom, strength, and power lie within ourselves—unleashed with marvelous energy and imaginative force in the teachings of don Juan—and in the writings of his famous pupil, Carlos Castaneda

For us to perceive any of the worlds that exist beside our own, not only do we have to covet them but we need to have sufficient energy to seize them. In this revolutionary book, Carlos Castaneda offers readers the key to this energetic conditioning for the first time, revealing a series of body positions and physical movements that enabled various sorcerers, and their apprentices, to navigate their own sorceric journeys. By sharing this centuries-old wisdom, Carlos Castaneda makes it possible for readers to travel to some of these other realms, which are as real, unique, absolute, and engulfing as our own world. Castaneda offers both a philosophical history of magical passes and an innovative, easy-to-understand instructional format, complete with more than 450 computer-generated illustrations. Written with humor, clarity, and authority, Magical Passes further illuminates the true meaning of sorcery and magic.

Если мы решили, что уже все поняли об устройстве мироздания и об истории магической партии толтеков, нас ждет разочарование — или новая надежда. Последний том саги о доне Хуане еще раз разрушает все наши умственные конструкции. Колесо времени совершает полный оборот. Маги уходят, мы остаемся лицом к лицу с Бесконечностью.

Спрыгнув со скалы в пропасть, он остался живым. В ту же ночь Учитель и Бенефактор ушли из этого мира навсегда. Посвящение состоялось? Нет, оно только начинается. Карлос вернется в Мексику, чтобы вспомнить все о своих приключениях в реальностях магического сообщества «новых видящих», бросивших вызов смерти и принявших Дар создателя этой вселенной...

Silencio interno es aquel estado de la conciencia humana en el que todo lo que es pertinente al hombre es instantáneamente revelado, no a la mente o al intelecto, sino al ser total.

In queste due inedite interviste-conversazioni, tra ricordi e riflessioni, Castaneda parla di sé, del suo maestro, lo stregone indio don Juan, e del gruppo di tre donne che oggi lo affiancano, Florinda Taisha e Carol. Con loro, da alcuni decenni, Castaneda segue il cammino di conoscenza indicato da don Juan, imperniato su pratiche e tecniche sciamaniche risalenti all'antico Messico.

„Sapnavimo menas“ aprašo jakių genties indėno mago don Chuano Matuso sapnavimo pamokas, kurias jis davė savo mokiniui ir šios knygos autoriui Carlos Castanedai.Kai sapnuoja, magai patenka į kitus pasaulius, o jie yra tokie pat tikri kaip ir šis, kuriame teka mūsų kasdienis gyvenimas. Šie visi pasauliai egzistuoja vienu metu ir vienoje vietoje, ir magas renkasi, kuriame iš jų užmigti ir kuriame nubusti. Tačiau tada neišvengiamai kyla klausimas: ar dabar, kai skaitome šias eilutes, mes sapnuojame, ar būdraujame? Keistas klausimas? Taip, jis keistas paprastiems žmonėms, tačiau žengusieji magų keliu šį klausimą vertina labai rimtai, nes kuo toliau žmogus nueina magų keliu, tuo menkesnė tampa riba tarp vadinamojo sapno ir vadinamosios tikrovės.„Aktyvioji begalybės pusė“, galima sakyti, yra Carlos Castaneda autobiografija. Į šią knygą autorius sudėjo svarbiausius savo gyvenimo epizodus, kurie lėmė jo tolesnį kelią. Kaip sako Castanedos mokytojas don Chuanas, tai yra "įsimintiniausių gyvenimo įvykių kolekcija". Tą kolekciją sudaro C. Castanedos pasakojimai apie vaikystę, apie studijas, apie mylimas moteris, apie pažintį su savo mokytoju ir apie jo pamokas. Pasak don Chuano, tokie prisiminimai padeda mokiniui įžengti į būties sritį, kurią magai vadina aktyviąja begalybės puse.
