About this listen

"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 audiobook authored 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.

This book raises as many questions as it answers, sewing and feeding the seeds of a real search for the Sorcerer's way.

Sheer Brilliance - a must read

I started this book straight after "journey to Ixtlan" and it seems much of the terminology has changed and some of the events don't line up too. Maybe I'm reading it too literally, but there is a noticeable difference in tone.
Still, there are some interesting concepts raised and a few good stories. The ending does take a nosedive into the absurd though.

inconsistent with the other book
