  • THE ART of DREAMING by Carlos Castaneda
    THE ART OF DREAMING By Carlos Castaneda [Version 1.1 - Originally scanned, proofed and released by BELTWAY ] [If you correct any errors, please increment the version number and re-release.] AUTHOR'S NOTE: Over the past twenty years, I have written a series of books about my apprenticeship with a Mexican Yaqui Indian sorcerer, don Juan Matus. I have explained in those books that he taught me sorcery but not as we understand sorcery in the context of our daily world: the use of supernatural powers over others, or the calling of spirits through charms, spells, or rituals to produce supernatural effects. For don Juan, sorcery was the act of embodying some specialized theoretical and practical premises about the nature and role of perception in molding the universe around us. Following don Juan's suggestion, I have refrained from using shamanism, a category proper to anthropology, to classify his knowledge. I have called it all along what he himself called it: sorcery. On examination, however, I realized that calling it sorcery obscures even more the already obscure phenomena he presented to me in his teachings. In anthropological works, shamanism is described as a belief system of some native people of northern Asia-prevailing also among certain native North American Indian tribes-which maintains that an unseen world of ancestral spiritual forces, good and evil, is pervasive around us and that these spiritual forces can be summoned or controlled through the acts of practitioners, who are the intermediaries between the natural and supernatural realms. Don Juan was indeed an intermediary between the natural world of everyday life and an unseen world, which he called not the supernatural but the second attention.

I call him "don Juan." In Spanish, don is an appellative used to denote respect. I made don Juan's acquaintance under the most fortuitous circumstances. I had been sitting with Bill, a friend of mine, in a bus depot in a border town in Arizona. We were very quiet. In the late afternoon, the summer heat seemed unbearable. Suddenly he leaned over and tapped me on the shoulder. "There's the man I told you about," he said in a low voice. He nodded casually toward the entrance. An old man had just walked in. "What did you tell me about him?" I asked. "He's the Indian that knows about peyote. Remember?" I remembered that Bill and I had once driven all day looking for the house of an "eccentric" Mexican Indian who lived in the area. We did not find the man's house and I had the feeling that the Indians whom we had asked for directions had deliberately misled us. Bill had told me that the man was a "yerbero," a person who gathers and sells medicinal herbs, and that he knew a great deal about the hallucinogenic cactus, peyote.

  • The New Age Embraces Shamanism
    CHRISTIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE P.O. Box 8500, Charlotte, NC 28271 Article: DS836 THE NEW AGE EMBRACES SHAMANISM This article first appeared in the Christian Research Journal, volume 25, number 4 (2003) as a companion to the feature article Shamanism: Eden or Evil? by Mark Andrew Ritchie. For further information or to subscribe to the Christian Research Journal go to: http://www.equip.org A few decades ago, “shamanism” was a word known mainly by anthropologists. As the New Age movement grew in the West, however, many others were introduced to and embraced spiritual practices drawn from several primitive cultures such as Native American, various Latin American, Hawaiian, Eskimo, and other indigenous groups. These practices, which emphasized trance and ecstatic states, spirit contact, animal spirits, out-of-body experiences, and nontraditional healing1 were harmonious with the budding New Age beliefs that emphasized the earth, transcendence through drugs, and multileveled realities. Neoshamanism thus was born. Two of the most influential people in the rise of neoshamanism were Carlos Castaneda and Lynn Andrews, who claimed to have been initiated into shamanism by native teachers. Castaneda claimed to have been a student of Yaqui Indian Don Juan Matus, while Lynn Andrews claimed to have studied under women teachers such as Agnes Whistling Elk and Ruby Plenty Chiefs. Castaneda’s many books on shamanism, including his influential and controversial The Teachings of Don Juan published in 1968, as well as Andrews’s many books since 1981, have sold quite well. Castaneda, an anthropology student in 1960 who set out to research the medicinal properties of plants, enlisted the help of shaman-sorcerer Don Juan.2 Thus began Castaneda’s journey into the world of sorcery, where dreams and visions became the prime reality — a spiritual trip that included hallucinogens, which was one of the touchstones of “spiritual awakening” in the 1960s and 1970s.

  • Carlos Castaneda (1925-1998), Reading Between His Lines, a Summary Judgment
    Carlos Castaneda (1925-1998), reading between his lines, a summary judgment. By Prof. Jay Courtney Fikes In 1968, with publication of his first book, The Teachings of Don Juan, Carlos Castaneda gained instant fame. The book, he proclaimed, described accurately his apprenticeship to a Yaqui sorcerer. By the time he obtained his doctorate in anthropology in 1973, after publishing his third book, he was the world’s most prominent anthropologist. His twelve books, now available in seventeen languages, have sold more than ten million copies. When he died in 1998 he had become “the 20th century’s most successful literary trickster” (Marshall, 2007). Climbing to celebrity status Carlos Arana Castaneda was born to unmarried parents in Cajamarca, Peru, on December 25, 1925. He entered the USA via San Francisco in 1951 but moved to Los Angeles in 1955. Castaneda worked part-time while taking creative writing and psychology courses at Los Angeles City College, where he graduated with an Associate of Arts degree in psychology in 1959 (“Prelude to Don Juan,” 2013). By fall of 1959 he had entered the anthropology department at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Castaneda’s third book, Journey to Ixtlan, was approved as his UCLA doctoral dissertation in anthropology in 1973, after he changed its title and added a 500-word dissertation abstract (DeMille, 1978; Fikes, 1993). From 1968 to 1976 Castaneda was America’s most celebrated anthropologist. His reputation as an anthropologist was steadily eroded as scholarly critiques exposed fraudulent elements in his alleged ethnographic research (DeMille, 1978; 1980). Despite Richard DeMille’s insight, confirmed by this author (Fikes, 1993), that Castaneda’s alleged apprenticeship to a Yaqui sorcerer, Don Juan Matus, was a “transparent fraud,” an international New Age audience still reveres him.

  • Drugs, Music, and Spirituality Victorian Mansions in the Neighborhood
    Drugs, Music, and Spirituality 63 Victorian mansions in the neighborhood. Both bands played numerous free concerts in nearby Golden Gate Park. 23 In January 1967 Allen Cohen , Ron Thelin , Allen Ginsberg , and others promoted the Human Be-In in Golden Gate Park. Seeking to bridge radicals and hippies, Cohen called for “a union of love and activism.” The idea was to impress authorities by attract- ing large numbers of young people to a big party with plenti- ful shared food , alcohol, and drugs , including marijuana and LSD , along with free rock music and poetry readings. “Human Be-In ” was a play on human being , but it also meant that it was acceptable just to exist in the present. Shortly afterward, Richard Alpert announced the philosophy of “Be Here Now.” Calling for a “Pow-Wow” and “A Gathering of the Tribes,” the Be-In poster featured an Indian on a horse. To hippies, Indians were pure in spirit, primitives liberated from Western civilization , and true Americans. As part of the search for authenticity , the counter- culture tried to gain depth by absorbing others’ wisdom. On the poster the Native American carried an electric guitar, but it was not plugged in. 24 The crowd was estimated at around twenty thousand. The Beat poet Gary Snyder offi cially opened the event by blow- ing on a conch shell, and Ginsberg chanted “om,” which he had learned in India. Timothy Leary attended. Wearing white clothes with a fl ower in his ear, the stoned psychologist famously advised: “Tune in, turn on, drop out.” Leary later explained that he wanted young Americans to tune into their feelings, get turned on by the music, and then drop out of the middle-class rat race, but most people at the Be-In thought Leary meant that they should take acid that day.

  • Journeys to Others and Lessons of Self: Carlos Castaneda in Camposcape
    Journeys to Others and Lessons of Self: Carlos Castaneda in Camposcape AGEETH SLUIS In 1960, Carlos Castaneda found himself eye to eye with Juan Matus, a “Yaqui shaman,” in the bus station of the border town of Nogales, Arizona. Castaneda, then a UCLA anthropology student, met “Don Juan” because he sought an informant on the indigenous use of psychotropic plants, but he got far more than he had bargained. During the next ten years, Don Juan trained him in ancient Meso-American doctrines of magic to become “a man of knowledge.” Beyond spiritual enrichment, the association with Don Juan produced twelve books that established Castaneda as a celebrity and facilitated his lucrative transformation from anthropologist to New Age guru. Probing what Castaneda described as the secret indigenous world of “separate realities,” the books became instant bestsellers. His first publications were read as a trilogy—The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge (1968), A Separate Reality: Further Conversations with Don Juan (1971), and Journey to Ixtlan: The Lessons of Don Juan (1972)—and they propelled Castaneda to world fame. Particularly admiring were members of transnational middle-class youth movements, some who picked up and traveled to Mexico in search of alternative lifestyles, magical experiences, mind-altering substances, and often Don Juan himself. Castaneda’s books represented indigenous Mexico as powerful and alluring, attracting counterculture tourists eager to explore and enact new, alternative subjectivities far from the narrow confines of the bourgeois lifestyles and values of their home countries. Don Juan’s lessons appealed far beyond these counterculture travelers.
