What a thrilling ride it has been!

I have truly enjoyed every single page of this book. It was so captivating that it was extremely hard to put down every time I had to.

Interestingly, it has a lot of parallels with some other writers I've been reading, such as Gurdjieff.

Regarding the whole fake or not thing, I'm still a bit undecided. On one hand, I don't think much trace of Don Juan would be found, but I haven't delved deep into it yet.

Nonetheless, it is definitely worth the read! It is a truly gripping book that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good adventure or is interested in exploring different spiritual and philosophical ideas.

Overall, it has been a great reading experience and I'm looking forward to seeing what else the author has in store for us.

Awsome! This single word holds so much potential. It can describe something truly remarkable, something that leaves us in awe and wonder.

When we encounter something awsome, it has the power to inspire us, to make our hearts race and our minds fill with excitement. It could be a breathtaking natural景观, like a majestic mountain range or a beautiful sunset over the ocean.

Or perhaps it's a great achievement, like a talented athlete breaking a world record or a brilliant artist creating a masterpiece. Awsome things have the ability to touch our souls and make us believe that anything is possible.

They remind us of the beauty and wonder that exists in the world around us, and they encourage us to pursue our own dreams and strive for greatness. So let's keep our eyes open for the awsome things in life and embrace the inspiration they bring.

This rating indicates that the product or service being evaluated has some positive aspects but also has areas that could be improved.

It might have good features, but perhaps there are a few glitches or不足之处.

The overall experience is above average, but not quite excellent.

It could be a great option for those who are looking for something that is decent and functional, but not necessarily the best of the best.

However, it's important to note that a 3.5-star rating can still vary depending on the specific criteria and expectations of the reviewer.

Some might consider it a very good rating, while others might be more critical.

In any case, it's a useful indication of the quality and performance of the product or service.

To me, many aspects of Castaneda's mysterious and desperately confusing journey were revealed.

His exploration seemed to take him to the very edges of human perception and understanding. The encounters he had with strange beings and the experiences that defied explanation were both fascinating and disorienting.

As I delved deeper into his accounts, I found myself drawn into a world where the boundaries between reality and imagination blurred. The teachings he received from his mentors, Don Juan and others, challenged my own beliefs and preconceptions.

Castaneda's journey was not only a physical one but also a spiritual and psychological one. It forced him to confront his own fears, desires, and limitations. And in doing so, he discovered a side of himself that he never knew existed.

Overall, his story is a testament to the power of human curiosity and the willingness to venture into the unknown. It makes me wonder what other mysteries lie waiting to be uncovered if we are brave enough to look.

This has been my introduction to Carlos Castaneda's "world". I find that my favorite types of books are those that lead me to question more and more aspects of life. Without a doubt, this particular one has opened the gates to a world of intrigue.

Castaneda's works are like a mysterious labyrinth, inviting readers to explore and discover the hidden truths within. His words have the power to challenge our preconceived notions and make us look at the world from a different perspective.

"There are ups and downs of daily living. You win, you lose and you don't know when you win or when you lose. This is the price one pays for living under the rule of self-reflection." ~CC

This quote beautifully encapsulates the essence of our existence. Life is a constant cycle of victories and defeats, and often, we are unaware of which is which. It is through self-reflection that we begin to understand the true nature of our experiences and learn from them.

Carlos Castaneda's "world" is a captivating and thought-provoking place, one that I am eager to continue exploring. His books have taught me that there is always more to discover and question, and that the journey of self-discovery is an endless one.

Absolut verrücktes Buch über Schamanismus. Es ist wirklich schwer vorzustellen, was in Castanedas Leben passiert sein mag. Doch gerade dadurch ist es umso schöner, dass er es in einem Buch geteilt hat. Dieses Buch bietet eine faszinierende Einblicke in die Welt des Schamanismus. Man kann sich vorstellen, wie aufregend und abenteuerlich die Erfahrungen gewesen sein müssen. Allerdings sollte man sich dafür interessieren, ansonsten wird es sicherlich nicht so spannend sein. Wer schon immer daran gedacht hat, mehr über die verborgenen Kräfte der Natur und die Geheimnisse des Schamanismus zu erfahren, sollte dieses Buch unbedingt lesen. Es wird Ihnen sicherlich viele Fragen aufwerfen und Ihnen helfen, Ihre eigene Sicht auf die Welt zu erweitern.

"It's only when the mortar hardens that the loose bricks become a structure."

Don Juan to Carlos Castaneda said, "Don't admire people from afar, that is the surest way to create mythological beings."

"Our victories are fleeting. Sorcerers, however do have the upper hand; as being on their way to dying, they have someone whispering in their ear that everything is ephemeral. The whisperer is death, the infallible advisor, the only one who won't ever tell you a lie."

"Human beings are beings that are going to die," don Juan said. "Sorcerers firmly maintain that the only way to have a grip on our world, and on what we do in it, is by fully accepting that we are beings on the way to dying. Without this basic acceptance, our lives, our doings, and the world in which we live are unmanageable affairs." "But is the mere acceptance of this so far-reaching?" (Carlos) asked in a tone of quasi-protest. "You bet your life!" don Juan said, smiling. "However, it's not the mere acceptance that does the trick. We have to embody that acceptance and live it all the way through. Sorcerers throughout the ages have said that the view of our death is the most sobering view that exists. What is wrong with us human beings, and has been wrong since time immemorial, is that without ever stating it in so many words, we believe that we have entered the realm of immortality. We behave as if we were never going to die - an infantile arrogance. But even more injurious than this sense of immortality is what comes with it; the sense that we can engulf this inconceivable universe with our minds."

"To recount events is magical for sorcerers," don Juan said. "It isn't just telling stories, it is seeing the underlying fabric of events."

"The universe has no limits, and the possibilities at play in the universe at large are indeed incommensurable. So don't fall prey to the axiom, 'I believe only what I see', because it is the dumbest stand one can possibly take." Don Juan.

This is the final book that Castaneda penned prior to his passing, and in my opinion, it holds the utmost significance.

Within its pages, he comes to the realization of the most crucial lessons that he has gleaned throughout his life as he delves deep into his life's memories.

It is as if he is taking a retrospective journey, carefully examining each experience and extracting the wisdom that lies within.

This book serves as a testament to his growth and evolution, offering readers a profound and thought-provoking exploration of his life's teachings.

It is a work that not only provides valuable insights but also has the potential to inspire and transform those who engage with it.

Castaneda's final offering is truly a remarkable and significant contribution to the literary world.

There isn't much substance in any of these books. They are replete with repeated points and questions. In fact, they could all be reduced to half their size without sacrificing much.

Strangely enough, I still found them somewhat entertaining. They are a unique kind, and I had a hunch that there was some hidden value within them. This led me to read three of them.

However, upon reflection, I realize that the entertainment I derived was mainly from anticipating something more exciting that would soon unfold. But alas, it never did.

As a result, I have decided not to continue reading any more Castaneda books. I've had my fill, and I understand that if I were to read another with anticipation only to be disappointed, it would spoil the memory I have of the three I've already read.

I believe it's time to move on and explore other literary works that might offer more depth and fulfillment.
