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.

The hostile ones is because they know they can never do what Castaneda did. If his books are fiction, then he's a genius.

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.

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. 👍

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!

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.

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.

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.

"...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."

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.

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.
