"A man of knowledge is free . . . he has no honor, no dignity, no family, no home, no country, but only life to be lived.” --don Juan
A Separate Reality
Further Conversations with Don Juan
In 1961 a young anthropologist subjected himself to an extraordinary apprenticeship to bring back a fascinating glimpse of a Yaqui Indian’s world of “non-ordinary reality” and the difficult and dangerous road of a man must travel to become “a man of knowledge.”
Yet on the brink of that world, challenging to all that we believe, he drew back.
Then in 1968, Carlos Castaneda returned to Mexico, to don Juan and his hallucinogenic drugs, and to a world of experience no man from our Western civilization had ever entered before.
“One can’t exaggerate the significance of what Castaneda has done ... A Separate Reality is extraordinary in every sense of the word.”
-from the review by Roger Jellinek in The New York Times
