Las enseñanzas de Don Juan: una forma yaqui de conocimiento, es un libro escrito por Carlos Castaneda. Se publicó por primera vez en 1968 en inglés y en 1974 en español. Presentado como un aprendizaje de un brujo yaqui, se supone que narra las vivencias del autor junto a un supuesto chamán, yaqui del estado de Sonora o Oaxaca llamado Juan Matus. La veracidad de los hechos relatados, al igual que la del resto de la obra de Castaneda, ha sido fuente de polémica, considerándose un ejemplo de literatura new age o un caso de engaño para algunos, mientras que para otros se trata de un libro auténtico.1Cronológicamente es el primer libro de colección de cuatro libros, seguida sucesivamente de una segunda saga de nueve más. Cabe destacar la alta capacidad de resignificación que tiene esta primera saga a la luz de la siguiente, pues la primera correspondería a textos escritos por Castaneda durante su experiencia con Don Juan, mientras que la segunda a las reflexiones posteriores.

A Yaqui Way of Knowledge

The Teachings of Don Juan

The Teachings of Don Juan/A Separate Reality/Tales of Power

World-renowned bestselling author Carlos Castaneda's Selection of his wrtings on the shamans of ancient Mexico. Originally drawn to Yaqui Indian spiritual leader don Juan Matus for his knowledge of mind-altering plants, bestselling author Carlos Castaneda soon 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 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.

The Shamans Of Mexico Their Thoughts About Life Death And The Universe

The Wheel Of Time

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.

The Practical Wisdom of the Shamans of Ancient Mexico

Magical Passes

"Ordinarily, events that change our path are impersonal affairs, and yet extremely personal. My teacher, don Juan Matsus, said this is guiding me as his apprentice to collect what I considered to be the memorable events of my life…. Don Juan described the total goal of the shamanistic knowledge that he handled as the preparation for facing the definitive journey: the journey that every human being has to take at the end of his life. He said that what modern man referred to vaguely as life after death was, for those shamans, a concrete region filled to capacity with practical affairs of a different order than the practical affairs of daily life, yet bearing a similar functional practicality. Don Juan considered that to collect the memorable in their lives was, for shamans, the preparation for their entrance into that concrete region, which they called the active side of infinity." 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 in his oeuvre.

The Active Side of Infinity

After the departure of Don Juan and Don Genaro, Carlos continues his magical journey with three men and four other women, and the most powerful of them, a woman called La Gorda, teaches him lessons in the art of dreaming

A Separate Reality

LUZIA MACHADO DA COSTA

Após 'A erva do diabo', Carlos Castaneda dá continuidade ao relato de suas experiências com o índio yaqui dom Juan Matus em 'Uma estranha realidade'. Com o intuito de pesquisar sobre ervas medicinais, o jovem estudante de antropologia vai para o México, onde reencontra o poderoso feiticeiro. Guiado pela mente desse excêntrico brujo e pela ingestão de alucinógenos, especialmente o peiote, o jovem é levado a estados de 'realidade não comum' ou, segundo os feiticeiros, aspectos concretos da vida cotidiana que lhe permitiam ver o mundo de uma maneira diferente, percebendo toda a sua essência.
