A Separate Reality
- 272pages
- 10 heures de lecture
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.
Journey To Ixtlan
The lessons of Don Juan
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.
"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.

Le Don de l'Aigle

- 16 heures de lecture
Depuis sa rencontre avec le maître Juan Matus, l'étudiant en ethnologie Castaneda a parcouru un long chemin à travers le temps et l'espace. Ce voyage vers la tierce attention était jusqu'ici jalonné d'expériences vécues par le disciple, telles que retracées par Castaneda. Avec cet ouvrage, l'apprenti devenu maître prend du recul sur son parcours, intégrant contradictions et incertitudes. Don Juan n'est plus un maître isolé, mais un maillon d'une chaîne, un nagual parmi d'autres, choisi pour constituer un clan de guerriers et transmettre une tradition ancienne, le don de l'Aigle. Castaneda se demande s'il sera à la hauteur des attentes de Don Juan et s'il pourra, comme lui, rassembler son clan et les conduire vers la liberté. Ce nouvel opus lui permet d'expliciter les techniques et méthodes présentées précédemment. À travers des thèmes récurrents, ce qui semblait obscur s'éclaire, et des fils divergents se croisent. Avec un talent de narration qui le place parmi les grands auteurs épiques, Castaneda fait de cet ouvrage la clé de voûte de son œuvre, enrichissant ainsi la compréhension de son parcours initiatique.

Magical Passes
- 240pages
- 9 heures de lecture
For us to perceive any of the worlds that exist beside our own, not only do we have to covet them but we need to have sufficient energy to seize them. In this revolutionary book, Carlos Castaneda offers readers the key to this energetic conditioning for the first time, revealing a series of body positions and physical movements that enabled various sorcerers, and their apprentices, to navigate their own sorceric journeys. By sharing this centuries-old wisdom, Carlos Castaneda makes it possible for readers to travel to some of these other realms, which are as real, unique, absolute, and engulfing as our own world. Castaneda offers both a philosophical history of magical passes and an innovative, easy-to-understand instructional format, complete with more than 450 computer-generated illustrations. Written with humor, clarity, and authority, Magical Passes further illuminates the true meaning of sorcery and magic.
This text draws together a series of quotes, chosen by Castaneda, from the eight books he wrote about his classical training as a Shaman initate under the guidance of Don Juan Matus.
En écrivant Le Voyage définitif, j'ai suivi les instructions de don Juan qui voulait me voir constituer une sorte d'album, une collection de souvenirs mémorables. Selon lui, la connaissance chamanique avait pour dessein ultime de nous préparer à affronter le " voyage définitif ", celui que doit faire chacun de nous au terme de sa vie. Ce que l'homme moderne, disait-il, désigne sous la vague expression de " vie après la mort " était pour ces chamans une existence concrète débordant d'activités pratiques, certes différentes de celles de notre vie habituelle, mais tout aussi pragmatiques et fonctionnelles. Se remémorer les épisodes importants de leur vie les préparaient à aborder ces contrées nouvelles qu'ils appelaient le " côté actif de l'infini ". Carlos Castaneda.
