FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

For us to perceive any of the worlds that exist beside our own, not only do we have to covet them but we need to have sufficient energy to seize them. In this revolutionary book, Carlos Castaneda offers readers the key to this energetic conditioning for the first time, revealing a series of body positions and physical movements that enabled various sorcerers, and their apprentices, to navigate their own sorceric journeys. By sharing this centuries-old wisdom, Carlos Castaneda makes it possible for readers to travel to some of these other realms, which are as real, unique, absolute, and engulfing as our own world. Castaneda offers both a philosophical history of magical passes and an innovative, easy-to-understand instructional format, complete with more than 450 computer-generated illustrations. Written with humor, clarity, and authority, "Magical Passes" further illuminates the true meaning of sorcery and magic.

Review

"Castaneda has become one of the godfathers of the New Age movement...He is addressing the central issues of our time." -- "Los Angeles Times""Castaneda's sanity lends to even the most lurid experiences the force of data. It compels us to believe that don Juan is one of the most extraordinary figures in anthropological literature, a neolithic sage. It helps us to accept, from the continent we stole, a mysterious gift of wisdom." -- "Life""It's impossible to view the world in quite the same way after reading him...If Castaneda is correct, there is another world, a sometimes beautiful and sometimes frightening world, right before our eyes at this moment--if only we could see." -- "Chicago Tribune" "Carlos Castaneda is one of the most profound and influential thinker of this century. His insights are paving the way for the future evolution of human consciousness. We are all deeply indebted to him." -- Deepak Chopra

Description for Teachers/Educators

Thirty years ago, Carlos Castaneda published The Teachings of Don Juan, the story of a remarkable spiritual journey. Under the tutelage of Don Juan Matus, the young anthropologist entered into another world and emerged to give readers, in his first book, glimpses of this -non-ordinary reality' of a Yaqui Indian sorcerer. He wrote eight more books, most recently The Art of Dreaming, which described Don Juan's teaching methods as well as the sorcery arts he made Castaneda practice, the most important of which is called the art of dreaming.aCastaneda learned that, for us to perceive any of the worlds other than our own that exist, not only do we have to covet them but we need to have sufficient energy to seize them. Magical Passes offers readers for the first time the key to this energetic conditioning. In his revolutionary new book, Carlos Castaneda reveals a series of body positions and physical movements that enabled various sorcerers, and their apprentices, to navigate on their own spiritual journeys. By sharing this centuries old wisdom, from a tradition that stretches back over twenty-seven generations, Castaneda makes it possible for readers to travel to some of these other realms which are as real, unique, absolute, and engulfing as our own world is.aThe magical passes described in this unusual new volume allow those who practice them to travel the same road as the Mexican sorcerers and their apprentices, and to honor Don Juan's quest while embarking on their own personal spiritual search. The exercises described in Magical Passes allow the practitioner to achieve new levels of physical, psychic, and intellectual vitality. Castaneda has spent ten years developing a more generalized, modern version of the ancient movements which he calls tensegrity, a word borrowed from architecture, which encompasses the words -tension' and -integrity.' In Magical Passes, Castaneda offers both a philosophical history of magical passes and an innovative, easy to understand instructional format, complete with over 450 computer-generated illustrations.aWritten with humor, clarity, and authority, Magical Passes further illuminates the true meaning of sorcery and magic.
