An astounding overview of the work of Carlos Castaneda over the last 30 years. On the advice of Don Juan Matus, a Yacqui Indian Shaman, Castaneda revisits the most memorable events in his life.
He has learned that these events, when collected together, form a device that powerfully stirs energy inside the self that has lain dormant. Our daily lives push these cachets of energy outside our reach. This method shows us how to redeploy our unused energy.
The aim is to put together the sum total of one’s emotions and realisations. For the Shamans of ancient Mexico this energy is preparation for facing the definitive journey, after death. Don Juan taught that through this training, Shamans were capable of retaining their individual awareness and purpose after death, which they needed to undertake the affairs of daily life that occur in a region that don Juan called "The Active Side of Infinity".
This is a fitting final book from Castaneda who died in April 1998.
