Synopsis
This book is an astounding overview of Castaneda’s work of the last 30 years. He goes back through the most memorable events in his life, having been told that he should this by don Juan Matus, a Yacqui Indian Shaman who became his teacher for 13 years.
He has learned that these events, when collected together, form a device that powerfully stirs energy inside the self that has lain dormant. Our daily lives push these cachets of energy outside our reach. This method shows us how to redeploy our unused energy.
The aim is to put together the sum total of one’s emotions and realizations. For the Shaman’s of ancient Mexico this energy is preparation for facing the definitive journey, after death. Don Juan taught that through this training, Shamans were capable of retaining their individual awareness and purpose after death, which they needed to undertake the affairs of daily life that occur in a region that don Juan called ‘The Active Side of Infinity’.
This book is a fascinating collection of Castaneda’s key experiences organised in a very accessible way. They provide a unique insight into this tradition and elucidate ideas that occur in Castaneda’s previous books.

About the Author
Carlos Castaneda was the author of eight international bestsellers describing his work with don Juan Matus.
From the Back Cover
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 of his oeuvre. This book is essential reading for anyone who has enjoyed Castaneda's previous work and makes an ideal introduction for the first time reader.
"Carlos Castaneda was one of the most profound and influential thinkers of this century. His insights paved the way for the future evolution of human consciousness. We are all deeply indebted to him."
Deepak Chopra
"We are incredibly fortunate to have Carlos Castaneda's books. One can't exaggerate the significance of what he has done."
New York Times
"Castaneda's sanity lends to even the most lurid experiences the force of data. It compels us to believe that Don Juan is one of the most extraordinary figures in anthropological literature, a neolithic sage. It helps us to accept, from the continent we stole, a mysterious gift of wisdom."
Life
"It's impossible to view the world in quite the same way after reading him. If Castaneda is correct, there is another world, a sometimes beautiful and sometimes frightening world, right before our eyes at this moment – if only we could see."
Chicago Tribune
