Page edges are slightly yellowed. No marks to pages. A couple pages have creased corners. "Thirty years ago the University of California Press published an unusual manuscript by an anthropology student named Carlos Castaneda. The Teachings of Don Juan initiated a generation of seekers dissatisfied with the limitations of the Western worldview. Castaneda's now classic book remains controversial for the alternative way of seeing that it presents and the revolution in cognition it demands. 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." 210 pp. ISBN: 0-520-21757-8. more information

New York, New York: Crossroad Publishing Company, 2003. Trade Paperback. As New/No Jacket as Issued. "During the last 25 years of his life, Huxley turned his formidable intellect to the study and practice of classical mysticism. He became convinced that direct awareness of ultimate reality was available to anyone willing to resist the distractions of the ego and seek union with God. These 26 essays, written between 1941 and 1960 and for the most part originally published in Vedanta and the West , present mystical practice as the noblest human endeavor. In crisp, clean prose, Huxley avoids the obstacles of speaking about what is by definition ineffable. This well-edited volume will interest readers who wish to know more about Huxley as well as those seeking an introduction to the mystical tradition" (Library Journal).

It ranges from dreams to fear and desire, putting aside all boundaries and taboos in the search for what is truly alive.'"--Amazon. 203pp., notes, commentary, bibliography.
