Forty years ago the University of California Press published an unusual manuscript by an anthropology student named Carlos Castaneda. The Teachings of Don Juan initiated a generation of seekers dissatisfied with the limitations of the Western worldview. Castaneda's now classic book remains controversial for the alternative way of seeing that it presents and the revolution in cognition it demands. Whether read as ethnographic fact or creative fiction, it is the story of a remarkable journey that has left an indelible impression on the life of more than a million readers around the world.
Very Unique Read
| Customer Rating: | | This is a unique story of a man's path to knowledge through the use of hallucinates. It's a classic that any open-minded reader will enjoy. I would like to see the original cover printed again. |
Can't Be Beat
| Customer Rating: | | I have read half of Castaneda's books, and I feel the first 4 are very very good. Honestly the 5th kind of lost my attention for some reason. Those who do not approve of entheogens should skip the first two and read Journey to Ixtlan, instead. For those nitpicking about whether or not this is fiction, no offense intended honestly, but I'm just going to have to laugh at you. |
Entertaining but false
| Customer Rating: | | Having read several of Castanedas books and been strongly influenced by them as a youth, it was with great sadness that I subsequently found them to be almost completely imaginary. If you care to research Castaneda you will find that most of his experiences of flying through the air, encountering supernatural Mexican wisemen, receiving transcendental illumination etc etc happened while he was sitting in the library at UCLA. Many of the dates in the books are contradictory, much of the alleged herbal knowledge is potentially dangerous and essentially the bottom line is that you would be well advised to take all these books with a very large grain of salt. However that being said, they are fairly well written, quite entertaining and do contain some measure of truth after all. So go figure... |
Enter the world of the sorcerer
| Customer Rating: | | An excellent book about the first steps of Carlos Castaneda to become a man of knowledge. A book that has it all. Funny, enlightening and mysteries. |
Reading Between The Lines
| Customer Rating: | | Don Juan possesses the wisdom of the ancients . Getting away from your babbling inanities and shutting down the internal dialog, you might just ask the question?" What is the Matrix"? |
