Carlos Castaneda Knihy

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."The Power of Silence is Castaneda's most astonishing book to date—a brilliant flash of knowledge that illuminates the far reaches of the human mind. Through don Juan's mesmerizing stories, the true meaning of sorcery and magic is finally revealed. Honed in the desert of Sonora, the visions of don Juan give us the vital secrets of belief and self-realization that are transcendental and valid for us all. It is Castaneda's unique genius to show us that all wisdom, strength, and power lie within ourselves—unleashed with marvelous energy and imaginative force in the teachings of don Juan—and in the writings of his famous pupil, Carlos Castaneda

Knihy Carlose Castanedy jsou dobře známé, ale publikace Čtenáři nekonečna přináší souhrn dosud nepublikovaných textů. První text, Definitivní cesta, je stručným a jasným shrnutím mistra čaroděje, který popisuje příčiny, prostředky a cíle své cesty. Tento text vyšel v roce 1998 k třicátému výročí prvního vydání Učení dona Juana. Další část, První a druhá pozornost, se zaměřuje na technický popis vnímání. Zenoví mistři tvrdí, že náš svět je tvořen lidským myšlením, zatímco indické nauky jej nazývají přeludem, májou. Čarodějové popisují svět jako projekci, podobně jako obraz na plátně v kině. Následují Rozhovory, z nichž první dva pocházejí z roku 1968, kdy Castaneda věřil, že s učením u dona Juana skončil. Třetí rozhovor, z roku 1973, obsahuje informace, které Castaneda poskytl na doporučení dona Juana, aby "zahalil svoji minulost a zrušil osobní historii." Další rozhovory jsou z doby, kdy se rozhodl zpřístupnit veřejnosti učení, které dosud tajil. Cesta bojovníků a Čtenáři nekonečna tvoří jeden celek, poskytující praktické návody a doporučení pro ty, kteří se snaží aktivně kráčet cestou bojovníků.

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

A practical guide to Castaneda's techniques as taught to him by the shamans of Ancient Mexico. For the first time he brings us the profound and practical applications of the wisdom of Don Juan Matus.

"Ordinarily, events that change our path are impersonal affairs, and yet extremely personal. My teacher, don Juan Matus, said this is guiding me as his apprentice to collect what I considered to be the memorable events of my life…. Don Juan described the total goal of the shamanistic knowledge that he handled as the preparation for facing the definitive journey: the journey that every human being has to take at the end of his life. He said that what modern man referred to vaguely as life after death was, for those shamans, a concrete region filled to capacity with practical affairs of a different order than the practical affairs of daily life, yet bearing a similar functional practicality. Don Juan considered that to collect the memorable in their lives was, for shamans, the preparation for their entrance into that concrete region, which they called the active side of infinity."In this book written immediately before his death, anthropologist and shaman Carlos Castaneda gives us his most autobiographical and intimately revealing work ever, the fruit of a lifetime of experience and perhaps the most moving volume in his oeuvre.

The sixth book in the Castaneda series in which he continues to educate the reader in shamanistic mysticism.

"In this astonishing, luminous and terrifying work, Carlos Castaneda at last completes the long journey into the world of sorcery that began with his now-legendary meeting with don Juan ... In a sense, Castaneda's three earlier books, each of them the story of a triumphant and daring journey into the unknown, have been merely the long pereparation for Tales of Power, in which don Juan's task of educating Castaneea, of making him 'a man of knowledge' and 'a man of power, ' is brought to an unexpected conclusion in a series of dazzling tricks, visions and lessons, ending in an explanation which is at once an initiation and a deeply moving farewell"--Cover.

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.

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.
