A giant stride in infinate regions.

This book strikes as no other of Castaneda's work Its a tug in man's unknown - yet somehow known - aspect: our luminous portion. Each story is a rendering of the personal, seemingly reclusive life of Castaneda, in which the prominant theme of INFINITY is rescucitated from the dormancy of an ordinary life..... to burn in ardent pages.

It's Carlos for the last time! (and what more need be said?)

When someone saw me reading "Active Side of Infinity" and asked what I thought of it, I could only reply that if you love Castaneda, you will love this book. If you don't, then you won't. The most autobiographical of his works yet. Some have leveled the criticism that it is extremely self important what he has written. I would disagree. It is easy to "erase personal history" by simply becoming a recluse and secretive. What Castaneda has done here is a master stroke. By revealing the most poignant, and important, aspects of his path, he has opened himself up to an enormous of criticism. One reviewer lambasted the book as revealing nothing about the "active side of infinity". Indeed it doesn't. It does, however offer us a chance at a chance for such an encounter. Another reviewer praised the book, comparing its process to Freudian analysis. Such a view may seem feasible, but it is simply replacing the syntax of the sorceror with that of daily life. Few will take this work with the seriousness it deserves, and fewer still willl begin to walk the steps that Castaneda has been recommending for thirty years. Perhaps that is the real tragedy....

Very Powerful

I am at a loss to explain the review given to this book by Kirkus Reviews. The reviewer completely misses the point, and seems to be almost angry, for some unknown reason.

On the other hand, I found this to be one of Castaneda's best books, if not his best. It is touching, clear, and packs a punch. It is brutally honest about the human condition, and comes direct from the heart. I had a difficult time putting this book down!

One of Carlos's BEST

Carlos Castaneda was one of the best story tellers of our day. His last book, The Active Side of Infinity (or Carlos's title ... Memorable Events) demonstrates a world most of us will only read about, whether you "buy" what he has, to share or not. After 30 years of reading Carlos, I found the short story format "new" to me, but in no way took away from the wonderful stories only Carlos could share. Cherish this last deed Carlos had to perform, and we are lucky enough to read part of it, anyway. Paul/Glide
