The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge (30th Anniversary Edition)
|
|
Berkeley: University of California Press, 1998. First Thus. Soft Cover. Very Good/No Jacket as Issued. Book shows general light edge wear with some delamination starting to occur along the edges. 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
