Journey To Ixtlan Apr 17, 2012

by Carlos Castaneda

( 689 )

$14.99

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.

by Carlos Castaneda

( 601 )

$13.99

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.

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.

Viaggio a Ixtlan (Italian Edition) Jan 25, 2012

by Carlos Castaneda, G. Signori

( 101 )

$8.99

Viaggio a Ixtlan è il capitolo finale della trilogia dedicata agli insegnamenti di don Juan Matus, l'indio yaqui che ha svelato a Castaneda i misteri della sua antica cultura. Un racconto illuminante, che ci permette di ripercorrere l'ultimo apprendistato dell'autore: il viaggio destinato a portarlo - attraverso lezioni, esercizi corporali e spirituali, prove, visioni - a percepire finalmente l'universo quale è, senza il filtro delle convenzioni. È giunto il momento di accostare, e fare proprio, un concetto fondamentale, che sta alla base del cammino verso una comprensione profonda dell'esistenza: la differenza tra il "guardare" quotidiano e il "vedere" del saggio. E, attraverso questo nuovo sguardo, padroneggiare la facoltà di "fermare il mondo", per interrompere il flusso di immagini nel quale scomponiamo il reale e giungere a un istante di totale lucidità. All'apice del lungo percorso intrapreso con coerenza da Castaneda, la via "occidentale" alla sapienza si incarna nella figura del "cacciatore": quell'uomo "senza abitudini, libero, fluido, imprevedibile" proposto come modello di vita a ciascuno di noi.

Il fuoco dal profondo (Italian Edition) Dec 14, 2017

by Carlos Castaneda

( 34 )

$7.99

Dopo anni di apprendistato tesi alla ricerca di una vita interiore capace di andare oltre i confini della percezione sensibile, tra l'antropologo Carlos Castaneda e lo sciamano yaqui don Juan si è ormai creato un solido rapporto maestro-discepolo. Entrato a far parte del seguito dello stregone, Castaneda viene introdotto a un'antichissima conoscenza - patrimonio dei veggenti e suddivisa in consapevolezza dell'essere, agguato e intento - il cui possesso permette di mettere a fuoco la mente con una forza e una chiarezza fuori dal comune. Sotto la guida di don Juan, Castaneda intraprende l'itinerario per diventare "guerriero della libertà totale", scoprendo come raggiungere la padronanza della propria mente e ampliare il proprio campo di percezione, fino a cogliere non solo il lato esteriore del mondo ma l'essenza stessa delle cose.
