This is a paperback book that belonged to my older brother. When in his teens/early 20s he was really into the whole "heritage" --Indian thing. I asked him 2 days ago if he wanted me to send them to him, he said he "outgrew" these books and I could give them away. So, from Tasunka Witko's collection...

Book Review:
In a series of fascinating dialogues, Castaneda sets forth his partial initiation with don Juan Matus, a Yaqui Indian shaman from the state of Sonora, Mexico. He describes don Juan's perception and mastery of the "non-ordinary reality" and how peyote along with other plants sacred to the Mexican Indians were used as gateways to the mysteries of "dread," "clarity," and "power." The Teachings of Don Juan is the story of a remarkable journey that has left an indelible impression on the life of more than a million readers around the world.
"For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel, looking, looking breathlessly."--Don Juan
"Carlos Castaneda, under the tutelage of don Juan, takes us through the moment of twilight, through the crack in the universe between daylight and dark into a world not merely other than our own, but of an entirely different order of reality."--Walter Goldschmidt, from the Foreword

I have to admit, I sorta worshipped my brother :) So I did read one or two of his Carlos Castaneda books. Indeed it was very interesting and I still think/agree that there is much more out there that as humans we have not achieved. It does make you think.
