Impeccability and the Art of Facing Infinity...

Castenda gives hints and clues toward and ancient philosophy. Specifically he deal's with "Petty Tyrants" - those who use their position and abilities to enslave or torment others - and teaches the reader the art of facing them without flinching.

It is thought, that if one can do this successfully, repeatedly, he can face anything the universe can throw at him. This is the subtle art of becoming Impeccable.

Also reccomended in the superhero 101 collection is Bouris Mouravieff's Gnosis I, Ouspensky's In Search of the Miraculous, and everything by Georges Gurdjieff.

Fantastic Synthesis of Don Juan`s Sorcery

Clearly one of Carlos Castaneda`s best books, it offers a phenomenal insight into the world of Don Juan. Several of Castaneda`s practises and experiences he was subject to during his jounery to become a "man of knowledge" find an elegant and thrilling explanation.This particular book is quite remarkable in that it questions the very foundations of perception and relates stalking, intent and the dreaming position to the assemblage point. Also contains colorful accounts of Nagual Julian, petty tyrants and their use by stalkers. As against some of the previous accounts, the entire book is peppered with anecdotal accounts magnificantly weaved with moving accounts of the sorcerer`s spirit and the constant quest to "break the barrier of perception". On the whole,an exhilarating and thought-provoking read, one of the very best of Castaneda`s.

Forget your self-help books: try this guide to business survival

I am very happy to write a short review of this fabulous book which I hope will peak the interest of potential readers.

"The Fire From Within" has a timeless quality like other great works. Although much controversy surrounded Castenada as an Academic who became a student to don Juan Matus to learn the way of the Toltec seers, you cannot criticize Castenada's priceless images of the interactions between him and his benefactors.

As if the entertainment value is not enough, many of the "principles" within don Juan's teachings have high application in the corporate world and for personal success - believe it or not.

You can't discover this unless you read Castenada for yourself, but it should be clear that developing Unbending Intent; becoming Impeccable and gaining control over our Internal Dialogue and Sobriety can have powerful meaning to anyone hoping to focus their lives in a world where good leadership is hard to find and victims are too many.

I would leave my comments at this except for the debate about whether Castenda's tales are fiction or not. I don't think that it matters. Maybe it is just an extreme coincidence that Castenada's ideas can blossom into usefulness. Take the concept of Self Importance, for example. Anyone in America's corporate workplace has seen individuals self-destruct as a result of an over-inflated ego. How about Petty Tyrants? Isn't there always someone in the company who uses their position to torment weaker members of a group?

And what about the achievers who really pull it off? Can you see how their Unbending Intent, Impeccability and Sobriety, were big factors in their success? Of course!

consciousness meets reality

i have read all of castaneda's works, and at the time believed them to be nonfiction. i have since come to my senses, but appreciate castaneda's value all the same, albeit with a lessened cult-of-personality affect.

what sets this book apart from the rest is the concept of the assemblage point: the nexus of the consciousness in here and the reality out there. i have never looked at the world the same since considering all reality as a series of waves, an immense spectrum of which we only experience a sliver. in this model, the areas to which we may move the assemblage point with growth are the unknown. the areas which we can never reach despite growth are the unknowable.

to put the lessons of eastern mysticism and quantum mechanics in one model allows for the conceptualization of man and reality syntheszing each other. no other work in our culture does this.
