First started reading Castaneda when I was 14 years old. I can remember when Tales of Power first came out and then Second Ring of Power when I was in High School . I’m in my 60’s now as well and can certainly say these books influenced my life to the utmost. I never could really understand the outright hostility that I kept seeing in certain groups of writers . These books are pure genius. Regardless of whether they are fact or fiction. And no author ever has captivated me in reading the way Castaneda still does.
Yes! It doesn't matter where is extraordinary knowledge comes from.. Its the key to everything in understanding the multidimensional reality that is always there.
carlos' work is so incredibly important. i struggled with its fact or fiction until realizing that is not at all what is important. but reading, thinking, and becoming aware of what is being said is required to digest, then "understand" . after the information sinks in, then the hard work begins. but the information itself is so amazing - and the work and info together can be transforming ! thank you for reminding me- time to get back to work and play
My take on if the story is fiction or non fiction is that don juan isn't real, but his teachings are. I've read some mexican comments saying how much of a dick castenada was towards his visits with indians in mexico. My take is that he did get taught by mexican indians about ancient toltec knowledge, but he probably made up don juan.
I'd like to hear more about the naguals and their nature, if that's possible. I seem to really resonate with their way of thinking from what I've heard so far? Thanks 👍
It has been far too long since I read those fabulous books. The parallels with Eastern spirituality are amazing to me, evidenced in my heart as I listened to this beautifully crafted material.
An honor to learn more in depth about the connection of gnosis and Carlos work, Jung makes a little more sense to me now since he was also on the same path of Heart
Strangely enough, it was the late 90's that I was exposed (oh, so grateful) to Castaneda and the Yaqui knowledge. And yes, we must learn to "stop" for internal dialogue and instead intend that which is best for humanity. 1, 💙
Anthropology is the study essentially of how the human brain works within a certain human group experiencing an established culture. What makes it tick 😢 works Why it does what it does Enevitably using this information to the advantage. Then cross referencing with other cultures. Now one becomes able to wind the watches and maintain the cognitive operations of these mind without disrupting the lives of these persons Its very educational
I have loved Carlos’s artful sharing of his journey since being exposed his gifts in the late sixties. And remember waiting for his next book to come out in the seventies and then being thrilled at new glimpses into his extraordinary apprenticeship. Gratitude from me to him and those who share his gifts to humanity about our great journey. Forever Grateful.
in a deep self enquiry, I met my death. the first thing I did was try to bargain with it. there was no response but the impending sense of inevitability that can't be escaped. I was shook.

Excellent. This will certainly reward repeated listening. It's a very long time since I first read Journey to Ixtlan, but I feel as though it's time to go back and read it again. Many thanks.

Carlos Castaneda long time no see buddy ! Thanks to you I've had so many things happen in my life, coincidental, unexplainable, and fantastic, it was wonderful. Thank you x 1000!!
There are a lot of different words and concepts used to describe what is essentially the same reality. In the physicists world view their reference terminology is Space-Time-Mass-Energy. And their "assemblage point" is that this is "objective", that it exists outside of and independent of ourselves. The findings of Quantum physics are implying that this not so, that somehow (at least Space Time) arises within our own "consciousness". That it is not "objective" that we actually create it, and maybe all experiences. Jung identified several different kinds of "consciousness" but maybe these are different aspects of the same consciousness, or that is a particular slice of a spectrum of consciousness. The dreaming state of consciousness has a very different perspective on the nature of Space Time than the waking consciousness. (a week of events in 5 minutes, and at a distant location in an instant etc.) Then the current accumulation of NDE testimonies, is indicating that the reported experiences are dependent on their belief structures "what their living world view" or "assemblage point" was. And even then, they don't recognize that they themselves are doing it, that "they create their own reality" but are unaware of that, both while living, and during an NDE. That for any "experience" to be had at all, there has to be a "context" structure.
...displacement in time and space is a function of the frequency of the " object " itself. Each of us is our own inertial frame of reference. You are walking around in your own 3D I Max, not knowing you are the script writer, producer and director.
DEEEEP, great video! I loved reading his books when I was younger, opened my eyes to reality and different ways of perceiving, mostly through intent and meditation but is difficult in these times!
I was one of those who got into Castenda's books; as it turned out, his wife later said in an interview he never left the house and didn't go to Mexico when he was writing those books. And Don Juan went from a laconic tight-lipped uneduacated Inidan to an eloquent explainer in the following books--a totally different character. We as a small group labeled it as "fiction" but did get some value out of the content. Old retired guy born in 1950... Great video and reading, by the way, thanks for posting.
This video is an awesome and excellent summary and I thank you very much for your efforts and all the passion you put into making it! I have read all the books now the 5th time I think, and this key-concepts analysis of yours is so much the essence of the books, the teachings and the knowledge. Same as for many others, I feel it is not that important whether the circumstances or even the content is real, fiction or whatever. (Although for me it feels quite real, but this is just my Tonal explaining my reality to myself...) What I could feel from the 1st time reading is its truth resonating inside of me. It definitly is higher knowledge, no matter how we came to encounter it. It is up to me, to us, to everyone who is touched by the source, the forces, the wisdom or has experienced the nagual personally and consciously, what we make out of it, every day, from moment to moment. What a fool I am, truely, to not live it every nanosecond of my life. Keep on walking!
Got my first Carlos Castaneda book at my local library, the day I finished reading it I was walking down the street and on top of a garbage can I found the next book in the series!! That was a trip....maybe the odds of this happening is higher because I live in San Francisco.
Freinds, You said in this video: "Let´s talk about eight magical revelations that form the heart of Nagualism." See? until the end you talked about only four (4) differents revelations. I will be waiting for the rest. Anyway, it was worthy a lot watch this video. Thank you very much.
Never understood why people get so hung up on who or what he really was,and not just enjoy the knowledge and the mystery,in truth no one knows what this world is,science is just the new religion,yes more please
"...But Carlos Castaneda is worth reading. When I say fiction I don’t mean don’t read him, I mean read him more carefully, because one percent of truth is there. You will have to read it very carefully, but don’t swallow it completely because it is ninety-nine percent fiction. It can help your growth - it can create a desire to grow. That’s why I say it is beautiful. But it can hinder growth also if you take it at its surface value. This man Carlos is really crafty, very clever. Rarely it happens, such cleverness - because it is very easy to create scientific fiction, not much imagination is needed, but to create spiritual fiction is very very difficult; one needs a great artistic and imaginary mind. Because things you don’t know, how can you even imagine them? That’s why I say one percent of truth is there. On that one percent of truth he has been able to create a big edifice. On that one percent of truth he has been able to project much imagination. On that one iota of truth he has made the whole house, a beautiful palace - a fairy tale. But that one percent of truth is there, otherwise it would have been impossible.”.
@@davidhlnda " The first thing is that you have the guide within you but you don’t use it. And you have not used it for so long, for so many lives, that you may not even be aware that a guide exists within you. I was reading Castaneda’s book. His master, Don Juan, gives him a beautiful experiment to do. It is one of the oldest experiments. On a dark night, on a very hilly track, dangerous, without any light, Castaneda’s master said, “You simply believe in the inner guide and start running.” It was dangerous. It was a hilly track, unknown, with trees, bushes, abysses. He could fall anywhere. Even in the daylight he had to be alert walking there, and at night everything was dark. He could not see anything and his master said, “Don’t walk, run!” He couldn’t believe it! It was simply suicidal. He became scared - but the master ran. He ran off just like a wild animal, and came running back. And Castaneda could not understand how he was doing it. Not only was he running in this darkness, but each time he came running directly to him, as if he could see. Then by and by Castaneda gathered courage. If this old man could do this, why not he? He tried, and by and by he felt an inner light coming in. Then he started running. You only ARE whenever you stop thinking. The moment you stop thinking, the inner happens. If you don’t think, everything is okay - it is as if some inner guide is working. Your reason has misguided you. And the greatest misguidance has been this: you cannot believe in the inner guide. First, you have to convince your reason. Even if your inner guide says, “Go ahead,” you have to convince your reason and then you miss opportunities. Because there are moments… you can use them or you can miss them. Intellect takes time, and while you are pondering, contemplating, thinking, you miss the moment. Life is not waiting for you. One has to live immediately. One has to be really a warrior - as they say in Zen - because when you are fighting in the field with your sword, you cannot think. You have to move without thinking."
I stumbled upon castaneda years ago and had to wait for each book to be published , much like his education was stretched out over a time. After the first book , I had a hard time understanding what the deal was. Curiosity was the only thing that kept me going . The teachings snuck up on me. Then , years later , it all made sense.Perhaps , one day I will become the fool on the tarot card , who steps off the cliff and...floats.
"Immortal Idiot surrounded by Immortal Idiots" should be mentioned. Because this insight is a condition to be able to understand his final explanation.
From the first book TEACHINGS OF DON JUAN these books became the bible and the google map for my journey to ixtlan whi ch still continues. At 73 I realise ixtlan can never be reached because the journey is the destination.
The bottom line is your ENERGY BODY, it has many other names. Once you take volitional control of it, you can move at the speed of light (hypothesis). It has not been measure yet. An example you can be sitting by a tree at night and then looking at the moon. Visualize yourself been there. You will be in an instant. Shake your head and try again. It happens twice. The control of the ENERGY BODY is a phenomenal experience. Use it for the GOOD. My best advice to you. 👍
I can sayv that Don Juan has been my internal guide since I met him in the book of Carlitos. I can say this writings had been the lighthouse guiding my life through the roads of life....
half of the population does not have an internal dialog, they have aphantasia and alexithymia. this is not their fault its a deformity a retardation. .
Vadim Zeland is also from Russia. His Reality Transurfing books seem inspired from Carlos Castaneda. A lot of the ideas are exactly the same, but worded differently. And of course, non religious and no references to psychedelics, due to obvious reasons. Even the channeling of Human Design by Ra Uru Hu, an ad agency guy from Montreal while in Ibiza, focuses on the body, and not the mind, to decondition and move away from the not-self.
@threesuns you say in one of the video's to write in the comments if we want to learn deeper about Castaneda's teachings and I am interested to learn .....
I think the importance of one's self is seriously mis-perceived. The importance of interpreting our ability to perceive everything around us correctly is a case of being willing to set the mismanagement of ourselves aside and be willing reset our perception to see things as they really are.
Basic Buddhism....don't romanticize your youth when you read these books...put it into practice now with Buddhism. Its not some exotic ideas but very practical through Dharma...
We are born and become the captive children of parents, church, society. But what does the cosmos, the universe and its forces have in store for our newly born and growing selves? Not good to pretend society is not important, but a true loss not to explore our primal selves born of the cosmos, the selves Don Juan introduced Carlos to.
Having bee, in my teens and 20s during the 60s, and reading Castaneda’s books, I remain convinced that the Youth Culture of that time was inane garbage.
Thank you for such nice content and wanting to bring wisdom to the masses. But....No, he was not an "American"!! Please have your facts right. He was Peruvian who later became a citizen.
Great presentation. I read the first six books in the early eighties. Found them extremely interesting insightful and enjoyable. But forty years later and after four decades of meditation there is an aspect of these teachings that makes no sense. When the internal dialogue stops. Something happens that is not mentioned. And yet it’s so obvious and overwhelming. The ancient Toltecs. The long lineage of shaman and Carlos Castaneda must have noticed this. But for some inexplicable reason it’s overlooked. I’m curious to know if anyone else has realised. Also forty years of meditation is not necessary. This profound insight can be observed by a single strong dose of a psychedelic substance. A guide for these experiences is recommended.

Castenada's books changed my life in my early 20's. I'm in my 60's now, and I still carry what I learned with me.
Yes me too! Found the books when I was 24.. Now 78 and I treasure my books still the teaching always with me.
Me too! I'm 78 and have lived parallel lives scince encoutering Castenada's books in c1980. Much to my companions confusion and often my own.

The hostile ones is because they know they can never do what Castaneda did. If his books are fiction, then he's a genius.
Not fiction, as the processes described, are practiced today by the Nahuatl and Huichol peoples.
Yes! It doesn't matter where is extraordinary knowledge comes from.. Its the key to everything in understanding the multidimensional reality that is always there.

Out of safety for the indians or just pure narcissism who knows. I just know his works are one of the most important in the 21st century
Whatever his truth, his works are undeniably educational & wholly entertaining..many thanks for posting this intriguing author

Total Fake, fake , fake.
Great presentation. I read the first six books in the early eighties. Found them extremely interesting insightful and enjoyable. But forty years later and after four decades of meditation there is an aspect of these teachings that makes no sense. When the internal dialogue stops. Something happens that is not mentioned. And yet it’s so obvious and overwhelming. The ancient Toltecs. The long lineage of shaman and Carlos Castaneda must have noticed this. But for some inexplicable reason it’s overlooked. I’m curious to know if anyone else has realised.
Also forty years of meditation is not necessary. This profound insight can be observed by a single strong dose of a psychedelic substance. A guide for these experiences is recommended.
