Edivision Compania Editorial, S.A., 1999
es algo inconcebible
es algo inconcebible para la razon que este tipo de literatura este en el mercado pero, que derecho tenemos para rechazarla y como poder ignorarla tambien. Yo opino que esta informacion merece un profundo analizis no para jusgar, sino para aprender lo inconcebible y misterioso punto de vista de Castaneda acerca de los argumentos que expone en sus temas............

El camino con corazón, es el unico camino que se debe seguir
Durante el transcurso de una vida ocurren una serie de cosas que nos llaman la atención, pero existen otras que van mucho más alla y nos impactan, hasta el punto de cambiar una vida a partir del momento en que ocurren. Creo que eso paso conmigo al encontrar el primero de una serie de libros que son realmente magnificos.Carlitos representa al comienzo el espejo de nosotros mismos, los que estamos ...

Lessons in Sensemaking for Knowledge Workers
Carlos Castaneda, actually wrote a whole series of book on this one "journey" he had to learn about the secrets of peyote and to become a Man of Knowledge, as he phrases it in "A Seperate Reality".
The table of contents are quite simply:
* Introduction
* The Preliminaries of 'Seeing'
* The Task of 'Seeing'
* Epilogue
Some direct quotes from the book:

No se puede parar de leerlo una vez que empiezas
La descripcion que hace Carlos Castaneda acercad e sus diferentes experiencias con Don Juan Matus te transporta exactamente a ese lugar y hace que imagines como puede ser o pudo haber sido la experiencia de Castaneda y las plantas alucinogenas, en este libro experimenta con el humito, nombre que Don Juan con mucho respeto le da al aliado que se encuentra cuando uno trata de "ver" con los hongos ...

Don Juan Trilogy1 review
Carlos castaneda
Touchstone, 1974
Mesmerizing anthropology
These three books narrate the encounter of author Castaneda with Don Juan, a Yaqui shaman, and describe the philosophy and psychedelic-aided explorations he experienced. Written before the advent of the "hippie" drug culture, these books represent a unique and riveting viewpoint.

Bodley Head Limited, 1973
To Carlos, with gratitude
Carlos Castaneda was one of the most controversial writers of the twentieth century. Some in academia branded him a fraud for claiming his stories were biographical rather than fiction, while lauding him as a great novelist for exposing a mass audience to otherwise inaccessible philosophical abstractions they claimed were largely plagiarized. Each of his works is a piece of a larger puzzle, which ...

Sencillamente hermoso,,,
Este libro es muy bello, te hace reflexionar hasta lo mas profundo de tu ser y a la vez te deleita con los personajes. El primero en mostrar el verdadero fundamento de la brujeria moderna, el primer libro de la saga de Castaneda en mostrar el verdadero alcance de la brujeria de los hechiceros del linaje de Don Juan. Un libro hermoso.

Read this review
Back in 1985 I read this book and was fascinated. Was it real or not? I finally came to the conclusion that I didn't really care, the writing was extraordinary, magical in itself. Then last week (February 20, 2004) I woke up in the night during a dream. I soon found I was still dreaming. I woke up again, and figured I was again still dreaming. This has happened before and I go to great ...

The predator's mind
Active side of infinity is one of the last books written by Castaneda and it is the book were Don Juan finally reveal what the predator is. Instead of giving unperfect summaries and explanations here is a most revealing excerpt :
"I want to appeal to your analytical mind," don Juan said. "Think for a moment, and tell me how you would explain the contradiction between man the engineer and the ...

The Wheel of Time: The Shamans of Ancient Mexico, Their Thoughts About Life, Death and the Universe19 reviews
Carlos Castaneda
La Eidolona Press, 1998
One of several paths of widsom
This is a collection of wisdom gathered from North American natives. It is just as profound as the more well-known eastern paths (Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, etc.). Central is the image of the Warrior: one that sees, not just looks, one whose intentions and goals are clear. A bit like Japanese samurai. They look for the stable and constant, they are not interested in the fleeting. A Warrior ...

The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge, The Original Teachings in a Deluxe 30th Anniversary ...20 reviews
Carlos Castaneda
University of California Press, 1998
Either Way You Win
The basics of this book are simple and by now legendary: In the 1960s, a UCLA anthropologist with a rather plodding intellect and disposition meets a mercurial Yaqui Indian sorcerer who astounds him, baffles him, terrifies him, and ultimately -- over the course of many books -- transforms him. The whole story is presented as the unvarnished truth. But is it a true tale or is it a tall tale? ...

Excellent and Informative
Definitely a wonderful book. For those following the teachings of the other books, this book provides more useful information. The path that Castaneda elucidated is fraught with controvery and extreme views (read the other reviews). I found it useful to read and judge for myself.
What Castaneda wrote about is not fiction however it is a difficult path that very few ever advance upon, thus the ...

Fire from Within24 reviews
Carlos castaneda
Simon & Schuster, 1984
One of the best Castaneda books
This is one of my favorite books by Castaneda. The main theme of Fire from Within is the idea of a 'petty tyrant'. In this book Don Juan teaches that the seers of old learned to face the unknown by dealing with petty tyrants of everyday life. One would think it would be the other way around. But their is genius in such an idea.
We are also given much of the humor of Don Juan as in the ...

Opens up a door to another world
This is a great little book. Whether you believe it to be fact or fiction it truly opens up a new way of thinking about the world in which we live and provides hope of a far more meaningful and powerful existence of the magnificent creation that is the human being. - let's face it I hardly think we were created to sit behind desks and shovel bits of paper!
Many of the ideas will resonate with ...

el miedo, la claridad, el poder, La Muerte
Debemos entender que las premisa basicas para emprender un camino de "Conocimientos", es tener una oportunidad minima. No precisamos guias, solo saber cuales son los alcances de los videntes del nuevo ciclo. Luego el Poder se abrira camino.
