| | Carlos Castaneda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Castaneda's books can be read as a philosophical/pragmatical text that express a world view by which a person can live one's life. | | | Amongst the various practices of a warrior, Tensegrity, a series of meditative stretching and posing techniques, is introduced in Castaneda's tenth work, Magical Passes. | | | La Gorda -- "Northerly" "dreamer" who was originally thought to be the "Southerly" "dreamer", this was apparently a manifestation of Carlos not being a four-pronged nagual |

| | Life, death and philosophy of Carlos Castaneda, celebrity sorcerer and best-selling author |
| | Castaneda's journey into the realms of sorcery was not easy. | | | And vastly different from the traditional shamanic rituals that are primarily healing in nature and involve chants, trances and a staunch faith in native gods. | | | The death certificate also lists him as never married though, according to Margaret Runyan (author of A Magical Journey with Carlos Castaneda), she was married to Castaneda from 1960 to 1973. |

| | Carlos Castaneda Speaks, An interview by Keith Thompson |
| | What Castaneda seemed to be affirming -- the possibility of awesome personal spiritual experience -- was precisely what the Sunday-morning-only religion of my childhood had done its best to vaccinate me against. | | | Together we were traversing the crack between the natural world of everyday life and an unseen world, which don Juan called "the second attention," a term he preferred to "supernatural." What you're describing isn't what comes to mind for most anthropologists when they think about their line of work, you know. | | | He was signing books, and the owner of the house said to me, "I'd like you to meet Carlos Castaneda." He was impersonating Carlos Castaneda, with an impressive coterie of beautiful women all around him. |

| | The Informant and Carlos Castaneda |
| | You have to remember that during the period Castaneda was interviewing the Wanderling's uncle regarding Sacred Datura and other medicinal plants Castaneda was an undergraduate student carrying with him all the baggage of an unassured novitate. | | | It was only in passing conversation many, many years later that the Wanderling came to realize the importance of the time spent with his uncle, the knowledge he held, and where it led to. | | | It was during those teenage years, when the Wanderling and his uncle were separated, that his uncle crossed paths with Carlos Castaneda. |

| | Castaneda Meets Leary |
| | Castaneda was not the only spiritual revolutionary to take inspiration from Huxley and the Wassons. | | | Since Leary and Castaneda were both living in California between 1968 and 1970, I'm quite ready to believe they found themselves at some time in the same room, but the alternative versions of the confrontation offer more than don Juan's bare disdain of Leary's fiendery. | | | That's in Kobler's article-which was the link between you and Castaneda. |

| | Introduction |
| | The use of the term "the Witches" to relate to the three women Castaneda was eventually to claim had also been disciples of don Juan seems to date to the early nineties, when books by two of these women purporting to describe their experiences with don Juan and his party were published. | | | These three women are Florinda Donner-Grau, Taisha Abelar and Carol Tiggs. | | | That book also describes, for the first time, the entry of a fourth female personage into don Juan's world, first as a "scout" or energetic entity that Castaneda "rescues" from another world, a young girl called the Blue Scout. |

| | Stivale, Narratives and Metanarratives: Carlos Castaneda's 'Textual-Becomings' |
| | What is curious here, besides Castaneda's hedging on the strict factuality of his data,, is the direct role that don Juan played from the start of the research in demanding the "faithful recollection" and "full recounting" of each experience. | | | However, over the past decade and half, in volumes 6 to 9, Castaneda has laid the groundwork for the systematic and detailed review of aspects of the "teachings" purported to have descended from a long lineage of sorcerers and transmitted directly to Castaneda and his fellow apprentices. | | | In fact, it was to these experiences that don Juan referred in questioning the note-taking practice and in forcing Castaneda to exercise remembrance by reciting all that he recorded throughout the apprenticeship. |
