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."

Fire from Within is the author's most brilliant thought-provoking and unusual book, one in which Castaneda, under the tutelage of don Juan and his "disciples," at last constructs, from the teachings of don Juan and his own experiences, a stunning portrait of the "sorcerer's world" that is crystal-clear and dizzying in its implications.

Each of Carlos Castaneda's books is a brilliant and tantalizing burst of illumination into the depths of our deepest mysteries, like a sudden flash of light, like a burst of lightning over the desert at night, which shows us a world that is both alien and totally familiar—the landscape of our dreams.

Fantastic book

It’s a great book. I really enjoyed being able to read when I had the time (span of three weeks) and feel like I’m right on track with the main characters and their “conversations”

a Literary Wisdom Treasure - the ancient wisdom of the New Seers.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 14, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book transcends a rating system since it is the revealed wisdom of ages of wisdom. The ancient shamans of the new world were devastated by the conquests; but, the survivors, the new Seers, kept the essentials, and since they were forced to secrecy, they refined the wisdom teachings. They kept the essential aspects, guided by their Seeing, and discovered new principles.

Wisdom is revealed that living things are assemblages of sentient superstrings and that we may rearrange our assemblages to be free of the limitations of the world we perceive. We. are entangled. We can seek freedom through the creation of the double and engage in non-local activities. There exist sentient beings who are not inhabitants of our current world view, the inorganic beings. There is so much more to reality than the outdated paradigm of mechanical materialism.

Those who criticize this as a rehashing of other ancient wisdom teachings definitely did not understand what was said here. Those who criticize this work for lack of character development must have mistakenly thought they were reading a fictional novel and not a true accounting of tales which transcend the ordinary.

Warning, you cannot comprehend this through intelligence and ego, you must have some experience with the higher forms of perception, the second and third attention: or at least some experiences with deep meditation or 'the seventh sense'. This book is about stopping the mind and accessing direct perception. If you are a searcher for higher wisdom and have experienced more than the ordinary, then this book is a timeless treasure.

Either it's true or the truth is crazier than is presented.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

The Fire From Within is a marvelous book - both in content and presentation. I couldn't ask for better. Castaneda writes with what he calls "intent" and that means that he can manipulate your mind without your consent. The genius that it would take to accomplish such a feat would alone be enough to say that the books are of significance.

The Fire From Within is the last teachings on the art of awareness. Don Juan and Don Genaro walk Carlos through deep territory and vast realms. The worlds beyond peripheral are fantastic and the lessons imbued with transcendent meaning. To truly grasp the full depth of this writing takes something that you won't have on the first reading and may never have. To get it takes a mind of resolve.

Read it; don't read it. It all depends on you.

Tripping the Fantastic of Energy Work

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

"The Fire from Within" was an easy read compared to another Castaneda book I read years ago, "Magical Passes". One key message I enjoyed was about getting past our obsession with ourselves simply for how much of our energy is freed to do other things,

There were a number of incredible stories in "The Fire from Within" that highlight the difference between how I was taught Reiki and how I teach Reiki. I wonder if all teachings can claim these big differences or if they are specific to the naguals.

All in all, this was a good read for anyone who enjoys reading about different ways to work energy.

This is my second time around of reading all the books in Castenadas series.Out of all the previously written this was the most boring uncaptivating one yet.Im half way through and am forcing myself to continue.Ill skip to art of dreaming,it is much better.I have been a fan of castenadas books,and the related studies.Have also participated in like experimental activities into these arts.After many years of this I have concluded it is senseless and accomplishes nothing of any substance.Taking LSD does the same thing without doing all this extensive work.Come on,moving your assemblage point to assemble other worlds..please your high.This book is a long way from when carlos tripped with the ally dog and watched it turn into light beams.I guess carlos was getting bored with his own stories at this point of writting.I know i am.

Impeccability and the Art of Facing Infinity...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 1, 2007

Verified Purchase

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.

Fight the Future, Save the World.

My doubt ruined my reading. Don't read my review or it may ruin yours too.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 24, 2010

Verified Purchase

This is one of the last books in a series of books that cultural anthropologist Castaneda wrote about his apprenticeship with a sorcerer. This book has great informative value if it's true indeed. Castaneda, who showed no evidence of his stories was critiqued prior to this book because of the inconsistencies of timeline and character appearances in his previous books, that suggested that he may be be making it all up.

So in this book is that the sorcerer repeatedly alters Castaneda's states of consciousness, and whenever he enters another one he has no recollection of the other (except for the normal one). And guess what: it turns out he's been doing it all along! So basically he only remembers what happened in a certain state of consciousness when he's in it, which explains the inconsistencies in the previous books -- and I couldn't help thinking that this is exactly what he's doing!

He spends much of the book trying to explain inexplicable things on which -- consequently -- he does a quite poor job, thats a bit bad if you start reading it as fiction. But either way it's a nice read, pretty inspiring and at times very interesting. When I was reading it I often taught of Márquez, who makes me believe (more subtly) that magic is still happening, except of course he's a better author. But Castaneda' not bad either..

Magnificent

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

The teachings of Don Juan recorded in this book make up the most profound illustration of life it is possible to read. They are on a par with the greatest spiritual teachers of all time, but from a totally different mould and language. Reading these words, it is necessary to concentrate utterly, as they contain such a depth of meaning. The connections it is possible to make with other teachings on awareness are thrilling. After finishing it I just had to start from the beginning all over again, it has so much to absorb. Carlos Castaneda is such a surperb writer, his command of language and ability to communicate so vividly his teacher's being, illustrate the power that the teaching has given him.

Very insightful into how one should live their life, it gives a different view of the world and challenges the ideas and beliefs that we have be taught whilst also providing simple methods to changing your thinking and behaviours with how we interact with the world on a day to day basis.
I really enjoy reading these series of books, they go far deeper to answering the questions about our purpose than anything else that I have ever read.
