Originally drawn to Yaqui Indian spiritual leader don Juan Matus for his knowledge of mind-altering plants, best-selling author Carlos Castaneda soon 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.

A book perhaps you don't need

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2013

I have written reviews of Castaneda's other books, all rated 5-stars. This one is very different! It is not a book in the eight book series, but a collection of quotes from each of the other books arranged, chapter by chapter, book by book. I'm not sorry I have it, but by itself it contributes nothing - kind of a nice summary if you want to look something up for some reason. For example, on page 205 we find: "The Eagle's gift of freedom is not a bestowal, it is a chance to have a chance." I know what that means because of have read the book, The Eagle's Gift. The very understanding of what is meant by 'freedom' is deep; the power which is called the eagle is not an eagle and has nothing to do with an eagle. In short, this is not a book to buy except as a sort of set of notes as to the high points of each of Castaneda's writings.

castaneda's theorys on aging

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2016

Verified Purchase

its a very nice synopsis of castanedas books. i have read them all and now i can read a page a day to refresh my memory on the important life issues discussed within the series. i convert castanedas message into christian thought even though don juan would disagree. i find it all to be good psychology for aging gracefully. i've considered these books since i was twenty years old and now am sixty three. since i have studied this older gentleman's philosophy i look forward to aging.

I've been a reader of Castaneda's works since 1979, and have owned almost the whole collection with the exception of this one and 'Magical Passes'.. I ordered it to get me one step closer to completing my reading of Castaneda..

This is a great book for someone who has read them all. It's a great reminder to read the quotes which brings back the memories of 1st read. I also bought one as a gift for someone just starting out on Shamanism.

This is a hard to find treasure of wisdom and Top Stop was one of a very few with a new hardback copy. I got the book quickly. They are now on my A List.

The Wheel Of Time

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2011

I have read all of Carlos Castaneda's books. This is a synopses of all his books. Each chapter of this book is dedicated to a particular book. The important thoughts in each book are given as a paragraph in this one. He also explains where he was in learning to be a Shaman when he wrote his previous books. This gets rid of all the confusing thoughts he was having at the time. This book is like the Cliff Notes for Shakespeare. I wish I had this when I was reading his other books. Every one who is reading now, or wants to read his books should consider this one a "must have".

Glad I bought this

Bought one to keep and 2 to give away... reads like an old friend.... Heard about it from Philosophers notes (20 minute recap of the book by Brian somebody) and had to make the purchase.. Wanted to be able to refer to it again and again. Even though it is mostly quotes... it has its own story line of sorts and it is easy to grow with Carlos through it.

Behind the scenes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 17, 2015

Carlos was scraping the barrel here, in saying that a collection of quotes from his previous books is significant. I wrote this book for him a long time ago, because I went through them and wrote down Don Juan's words and teaching, because that is what is important in all this. But I was interested in Carlos's notes at the end of each chapter, filling in the details behind the books. Of particular interest was his description of how he felt after Tales of Power. That book would have been less magical at the time if we'd known what Carlos went through afterwords.

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.

Just a book of QUOTES

A big, heavy book of quotes from Castaneda's novels. A disappointment.

does what it says on the cover

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

I bought this book as study material for a discussion group on consciousness, in which we have previously considered the testimonies of early Christian and Buddhist sages.
In this book, Castaneda summarizes the world view of Mexico`s shamans as experienced by himself, using quotations from his earlier books, supplemented by commentaries which do not appear in the books themselves.
