5.0 out of 5 stars Gateway to a new world view, 9 April 2000
This review is from: The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge (Arkana) (Paperback)
This book is the first of a series describing what starts off as anthropologist Carlos' interest in Yaqui indian mysticism but soon becomes a description of his apprenticeship to 'man of power' Don Juan.

Likely to change your perspective of the world. It raised questions about our normal truths, attitudes and manner of living that are still with me years later.

Highly recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful glimpse into the world of a toltec warrior, 29 Oct 2005
This review is from: The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge (Arkana) (Paperback)
When I first read The Teachings of Don Juan it hooked me completely. Although a lot of people ascribed Castaneda's story and his description of Don Juan to a mere figment of the imagination, the concepts presented by Don Juan nevertheless "felt right". The complexity of his teachings and the unusual logic to it cannot in my opinion be a product of Castanedas vivid imagination.

There are some truly hilarious passages in the books, especially when Don Juan and his sorcerer companions "tricks" Castaneda into seeing the world differently.
Castaneda's attempts to explain the things he's experiencing rationally makes the stories all the more fun to read.

If you're a seeker on a spiritual path and keep an open mind, this book might introduce you to the most efficient, disciplined and difficult path known to man.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary experiences, essential reading, 16 Aug 2005
By Stephen (Macclesfield, Cheshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge (Arkana) (Paperback)
This, Castaneda's first account of his experiences with don Juan, offers the reader a glimpse of the world from a different perspective, that of the sorcerers of ancient Mexico. It narrates a journey of awareness embarked upon by Castaneda under the tutelage of don Juan, a nagual, Yaqui Indian and "man of knowledge".

The phenomena described are extraordinary, the explanations given are worldview-shattering and yet they resonate as true. The philosophies proffered are simple and encompass so much, readers find themselves subscribing to them readily. People with an open mind and interest in "wisdom" of this nature will find themselves enthralled.

This book is the perfect introduction to the ideas of Castaneda and don Juan; once read, you will want to read the others which continue the journey and expand on topics in increasingly astonishing ways.
