Carlos Castaneda
Near the end of his life, Carlos Castaneda gathered together and reviewed his seminal works on his training as a shaman initiate, recorded in a literary career that spans over thirty years. The result is this groundbreaking collection of quotations – the essence of Castaneda’s knowledge, drawn from his landmark books. Enhanced with an introduction and original commentary by the author, this powerful work illuminates the shaman’s life as never before.
Included in this edition is the essay Silent Knowledge, published immediately prior to The Wheel of Time, which provides a summary elucidation of the cognitive system discussed in that work, as well as practical instructions for its employment in the form of “magical passes,” a series of yoga-like exercises purported to increase spiritual energy.
