Product Description
WORLD-RENOWNED BESTSELLING AUTHOR CARLOS CASTANEDA'S SELECTION OF HIS WRITINGS ON THE SHAMANS OF ANCIENT MEXICO
Near the end of his life, Carlos Castaneda gathered together and reviewed his seminal works on his training as a shaman initiate, recorded in a literary career that spans over thirty years. The result is this groundbreaking collection of quotations -- the essence of Carlos Castaneda, drawn from his landmark volumes including "The Teachings of Don Juan, Journey to Ixtlan, A Separate Reality, " and "Tales of Power." Enhanced with an introduction and original commentary by the author, this powerful work illuminates the shaman's life as never before. Castaneda's words explore how the ancient shamans could literally touch and direct the wheel of time -- a profound yet pragmatic tradition that can be felt even in our day.

Is it fact or fiction ?. Alot of paper has been wasted in trying to answer this question. Personally, I think Castaneda's books should be read as fiction, because only then are they effective in planting a seed of doubt in the mind of the reader. A doubt that may be, just may be, there is more to life than what we experience through the five senses. Erasing personal history, losing self importance, using death as an adviser and other relevant terms are just empty words to the casual reader, but to someone treading a path with a heart they mean alot. What they mean cannot be articulated, but can only be experienced. Castaneda has written beautiful books and this one is my favourite.

The Wheel of Time was written for those individuals who have been caught up in the web of the Warriors way. By selecting these quotations in such a way, Carlos Castaneda deconstructed the rather numerous Shamanistic trickery associated with his teacher. In this way he insured that no one would be able to fall into the chaos which seems to inflict other travelers into the other side of things. The Wheel of Time was specifically written for practitioners with each quotation an expression of a particular problem which arises within the structure of this path. This book was not intended for speculation. It was intended as an avenue into the unknown which allows the warrior to remain free and unbroken.

Like his "Active Side of Infinity," CC ends this book with a surprise or two. Though the book left me feeling alone and unarmed, there was nothing there that I hadn't already opened myself to by reading the previous 10 books. --- Excellent quotations! He has done what most of his readers probably wished for - created a "Reader's Digest" version. Powerful. --- Interested to see what first-time CC readers have to say about this one!

A book of quotations from C's stupendous works
A must for any Castaneda follower. Each set off on a page of it's own, powerful quotations from each of his eight previous works. The Cream of the Cream.
