Rating: Summary: A work of fiction Review: Another work of fiction from the Castanada "disciples"..To enjoy this book you must have bought into the Castananda myth of Don Juan.. Read Amy Wallace's book about Castanada and the "witches" before wasting your money on this book.
Rating: Summary: I Didn't Get It! Review: Duh, huh what? I just keep reading but failed to understand what this book was about. Maybe because I'm a CPA it went over my head. Would someone please explain this book to me. Thanks! Also, I've never seen an alien or been taken aboard a spaceship. I never have any fun.
Rating: Summary: Every woman in the world should read this book Review: Every woman in the world should read this book, infact, every person in the world should read this book, at least once. The book offers a better way of living, from within yourself, and gives you a different outlook on the world, you could say it changes your material world. Theres not much i can say about this book that would do it justice. Just get out there and read it.!!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Best pick from Castaneda's crew Review: First I must say that I consider these books (from Castaneda, Donner-Grau, Abelar etc) fiction. However by that I am not saying that the practices don't work -- they definitely do. For more information on refer to the site sustainedaction.org.This book gives an different approach from that of Carlos Castaneda. Taisha does no lucid dreaming, but other exercises -- stalking, recapitulation, Tensegrity, kung Fu. The book contains good descriptions of some exercises, including the best description on recapitualation. The reader should be warned that there is one exercise (Small Heavenly Circulation, the one where Taisha is to move energy along the midline of her body from her vagina, over her back, her head and further down to her vagina again), that is potentially dangerous if practiced as casually as presented. What I liked especially was that Taisha does not disdain practices like kungfu or meditation as strongly as Castaneda. This is a point where Castaneda was definitely lying, considering he practiced kungfu for over 10 years. The book lacks the aphorisms and anecdotes of Carlos's books. The special type of humor familiar to reader of CC is also present in an inferor way. At the moment, however this is my favorite of all the "Ancient Mexican Shamanism, since 1950" books.
Rating: Summary: And if you believe this one, I've got some magic beans. Review: How woud you like to be reparented; reborn; achieve limitless powers; special vision; and belong to a tightknit and exclusive society? It can be yours if you are needy and gullible enough and come up with $19.95. What a sad commentary on our culture that we are so empty and directionless that signifigant numbers fall prey to these fantasies and frauds. Endorsed by the "Milly Vanilly" of pop shamanism, Carlos Castaspellonya the author distorts and insults authentic Native American practices to promote her own ego trip.Wake up gullible kids they are laughing all the way to the bank and P.T. Barnum is laughing in cosmic dreamland. It is you, the reader who is being stalked.A little truth in labeling would help. But fantasy is less powerful than delusion.
Rating: Summary: A great work... Review: I didn't find any other book that could have been more helpful for women to set out to the warrior's path. The book is also a very good guide for the first few steps on the way. The ways how men and women handle the world differ, therefore the steps to set out differ, too. I would recommend the book to anyone, who wants to meet more misteries of the kind of what Carlos Castaneda wrote.
Rating: Summary: Awesome! Review: I happen to know that this book is not a lie or a fabrication. Unfortunately, explaining how I "know" would not, really, "prove" anything, and could be just as easily attacked for its credibility as this book. All that I can say is that it is not simply a matter of faith for me. Without a doubt, there are frauds in this world, and I empathize with those struggling to sort these things out. However, to claim to know all of reality and be the expert on all that is possible in this great and enormously unknown universe is truly a sad thing. How could beings whose whole lives cover the tiniest moments of time claim to know everything? What can a butterfly come to know in a day or two? This is a beautiful book, sparkling with clarity and simplicity. I have no words to adequately express my admiration and awe.
Rating: Summary: Leaves you wanting more... Review: I have read all of Carlos Castaneda's, Florinda Donner-Grau's, and the only book by Taisha Abelar. This was the last book that I read. It was the best by far. Why didn't she write more?!? It not only gives you a different perspective on sorcery, but gives you concrete information on how to begin the sorcery path yourself. Of course this is pertaining to women. Men might find more help from Carlos's books. The best thing about this book was all the details of the recapitulation process. By the way, if you need details on where to do this yourself, refer to "The Teachings of Don Carlos" by Victor Sanchez. Please, take my recommendation on this book!
Rating: Summary: Reading this book requires some openness Review: I just finished this book and I should say I am amazed by it. Anybody who is even remotely interested in knowing more than conventional knowledge is encouraged to read this easy to read book. You will be doing yourself and everybody else a favour by reading it.Reading this book will serve both the believer and the skeptic.
Rating: Summary: warrior Review: It is fantastic to see successful warriors who have the power of intent in what they do. at least it shows that there is still a chance for the human beings to become what they have always wanted to be in their dreams.
