"This book and the lessons Castaneda has given us represent an awesome marvel, a vision of the world that is both a literary masterpiece and the gateway to a new and more profound way of thinking about ourselves or living our own lives. Poet, scientist, adventurer, triumphant victor over his own fears, Carlos Castaneda has written in Journey to Ixtlan a book that is destined, like its predecessors, to be an enduring classic. "Journey to Ixtlan is the record of Castaneda's initiation into the mysteries of sorcery - of becoming 'a man of knowledge' - at the hands of one of the most remarkable personalities ever to emerge from anthropological investigation - Don Juan, the Yaqui brujo (sorcerer). Don Juan's profound insight into the nature of things and his deep, disturbing knowledge of human nature made [the author's previous books] The Teachings of Don Juan and A Separate Reality immediate classics." - excerpts off the front jacket flap. Sample contents:* Reaffirmations from the World Around Us* Erasing Personal History* Losing Self-Importance* Becoming a Hunter* The Last Battle on Earth* A Warrior's Last Stand* The Sorcerer's Ring of Power* Journey to Ixtlan The author Carlos Castaneda (1925-1998) wrote his first three books while an anthropology student at the University of California. He said the books are based on his teachings learned from a Yaqui Indian in northern Mexico. The author and the publisher passed the books off as non-fiction. That claim was doubted from the beginning and the books are now considered novels. The books were popular during the Vietnam War when young people were trying to figure out the world around them.
