For over 40 years, Carlos Castaneda’s The Teachings of Don Juan has inspired audiences to expand their world view beyond traditional Western forms. Originally published as Castaneda’s master’s thesis in anthropology, Teachings documents Castaneda’s supposed apprenticeship with a Yaqui Indian sorcerer, don Juan Matus. Dividing the work into two sections, Castaneda begins by describing don Juan’s philosophies, then continues with his own reflections.

Carlos Castanada was a student of anthropology when he met Don Juan Matus, a Yaqui shaman and the inspiration for Castanada’s The Teachings of Don Juan. In this controversial work, Castanada relays his experiences being challenged by his mentor on his perception of the world and all living things in it.

Millions of listeners worldwide have treasured the visionary brilliance of Carlos Castaneda, who first explore the world of the Yaqui Indian sorcerer in The Teachings of Don Juan. Now, at last, Don Juan returns in The Power of Silence - wise, infuriating, capable or working miracles and playing practical jokes, but always seeking the wisdom of the warrior. The Power of Silence is Castaneda's most astonishing book to date - a brilliant flash of knowledge that illuminates the far reaches of the human mind.

Back from the abyss, Castaneda encounters his greatest test on the journey toward impeccability and freedom: to outwit and overpower the sorcery of Doña Soledad, herself transformed from a defeated and meaningless life to a warrior, a hunter and a "stalker of power".

Don Juan concludes the instruction of Castaneda with his most powerful and mysterious lesson in the sorcerer's art - a dazzling series of visions that are at once an initiation and a deeply moving farewell.

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.

Carlos Castaneda takes the listener into the very heart of sorcery, challenging both imagination and reason, shaking the very foundations of our belief in what is “natural” and “logical”. His landscape is full of terrors and mysterious forces, as sharply etched as a flash of lightning on the deserts and mountains where don Juan takes him to pursue the sorcerer’s knowledge - the knowledge that it is the Eagle that gives us, at our births, a spark of awareness, that it expects to reclaim at the end of our lives and which the sorcerer, through his discipline, fights to retain.

Fire from Within is the author's most brilliant thought-provoking and unusual book, one in which Castaneda, under the tutelage of don Juan and his "disciples," at last constructs, from the teachings of don Juan and his own experiences, a stunning portrait of the "sorcerer's world" that is crystal-clear and dizzying in its implications.

Originally drawn to Yaqui Indian spiritual leader don Juan Matus for his knowledge of mind-altering plants, best-selling author Carlos Castaneda soon immersed himself in the sorcerer's magical world entirely. Ten years after his first encounter with the shaman, Castaneda examines his field notes and comes to understand what don Juan knew all along - that these plants are merely a means to understanding the alternative realities that one cannot fully embrace on one's own.

With The Teachings of Don Juan, Carlos Castaneda chronicled a journey toward enlightenment under the tutelage of Yaqui Indian guru Don Juan. Having sold more than eight million copies of his books around the world, Castaneda has inspired countless readers with his awareness-expanding experiences.

The author of The Teachings of Don Juan reveals the spiritual adventures that can be attained through dreams, describing his own journeys into new worlds by using ancient, powerful techniques.

For us to perceive any of the worlds that exist beside our own, not only do we have to covet them but we need to have sufficient energy to seize them. In this revolutionary book, Carlos Castaneda offers listeners the key to this energetic conditioning for the first time, revealing a series of body positions and physical movements that enabled various sorcerers to navigate their own sorceric journeys. By sharing this wisdom, Carlos Castaneda makes it possible for listeners to travel to some of these other realms, which are as real, unique, absolute, and engulfing as our own world.

En el tercer libro sobre su iniciación como "hombre de conocimiento", Carlos Castaneda desanda camino hasta los primeros tratos con su maestro, el brujo yaqui don Juan, y añade al recuento de prodigios las arduas labores de disciplina física y mental que desde un principio lo preparaban para un acto decisivo de poder. La historia se cierra con el relato del viaje al que alude el título, intimación de la soledad y la áspera belleza de tal vida.

Las lecciones de brujería que aborda Carlos Castaneda conllevan sus postulados a la conclusión de que los misterios del conocimiento secreto se disipan en el acto mismo de cobrar concreción definitiva. Puede advertirse el paralelismo entre la iniciación guerrera que el autor ha cursado y la disciplina del Zen, en estos tres capítulos: "Un testigo de actos de poder", "El tonal y el nagual" y "La explicación de los brujos".

Tras la creciente preocupación de una enfermedad, el padre de Santiago consulta al doctor Mansano y se somete a procedimientos médicos que a la postre terminan con su vida. Santiago, decidido a vengar la muerte de su padre, asesina al doctor Mansano. Aunque sus acciones fueron cuidadosas, Santiago se ve obligado a huir. En su viaje, conocemos los pensamientos que cruzan su mente y las pequeñas acciones que tiene que hacer para no ser descubierto.

Primero de los libros de este antropólogo en el que narra la primera etapa del aprendizaje que lo convertirá en "hombre de conocimiento" bajo la guía de un brujo yaqui. Por diversos medios, don Juan sumerge a su discípulo en una realidad no ordinaria, inexplicable para nuestros esquemas de pensamiento pero no para la sabiduría antigua que trasmite el maestro.

L'isola del Tonal è il racconto dell'incontro di un uomo della nostra civiltà della scienza, della tecnica e della ragione con il mistero e il fascino della magia degli stregoni Indios. Con umiltà, Castaneda - studioso di etnologia - ha incominciato, e portato a termine, il suo apprendistato, fatto più con il corpo che con la mente. E in questo libro ci racconta quello che ha visto, imparato e anche quello che, forse, sarebbe stato meglio non dire.

La prima tappa di uno straordinario percorso spirituale, l’inizio di un viaggio fino alle radici inesplorate della propria interiorità: in un libro di culto e capace di mettere radicalmente in discussione la visione occidentale della realtà, l’antropologo Carlos Castaneda racconta i primi passi del suo apprendistato filosofico sotto la guida di un indio yaqui di nome Juan Matus, sciamano dalla personalità magnetica che lo condurrà alla scoperta del lato più profondo della propria anima.

Il lato attivo dell'infinito è la regione a cui accedono gli sciamani dopo la morte. Per prepararsi all'ultimo viaggio nell'ignoto, gli sciamani ripensano e rivivono gli atti e i momenti fondamentali della loro vita: il metodo più efficace per raccogliere la somma totale delle loro emozioni e conoscenze, della propria energia vitale. Per questo don Juan Matus, lo sciamano Yaqui che ha scelto Castaneda, lo esorta a mettere insieme l'"album" delle proprie esperienze. Questo libro è appunto l'album di un guerriero dello spirito.

Tensegrità è la versione moderna dei passi magici degli sciamani dell’antico Messico. La parola Tensegrità è una definizione molto accurata perché nasce dall’unione di due termini, tensione e integrità, che connotano le due forze trainanti dei passi magici.” Così l’antropologo peruviano Carlos Castaneda mette a fuoco il tema di questo libro: i movimenti del corpo che, secondo gli antichi riti degli stregoni, permettono di stimolare l’energia vitale dell’organismo e aumentare le capacità psichiche.
