The Teachings of Don Juan: The Path of Knowledge of the Yaqui Indians. Separate reality

Carlos Castaneda is the most mysterious, most famous author of the second half of the XX century, which shifted the assembly point of all mankind.
The first book is not a “real” Castaneda, because the young anthropologist cannot yet accept the magical world of his teacher Don Juan and is trying to write an “scientific review” of incredible events that are happening around him. But here the greatest spiritual Odyssey of modernity begins.
And you, reader, be careful! Even if you begin to read 11 books of Castaneda just like fascinating magical stories, considering them a pure fiction, you will never look at the world with your old eyes.
The reality of the Indian magicians and their allies is so dangerous for the usual perception system that Carlos, an anthropologist from Los Angeles, writing his first book, is trying to escape from it forever. But the force decides differently: two years later he returned - and a new training cycle began.
“Separate reality”, like the first book of KK, is a description of the experience that he does not yet understand.
Reader, listen to good advice: for a more accurate perception of the teachings of the Toltecs, start getting to know him from the third book, “Travel to Icstlan”, and only then return to the first two, because it would be too sad, on the one hand, to be frightened of inaccurate Descriptions of the path and discard it, on the other hand, do not get acquainted with the most important provisions of the teachings that fell into the first two books
