Description

Carlos Castaneda takes us back into the heart of don Juan’s mystical world of sensation and perception revealing the ancient secrets of sorcerer’s knowledge deep within the deserts and mountains. The sixth book in the acclaimed series explores the mysterious force known as the Eagle, a cosmic entity that bestows and reclaims consciousness. At birth, don Juan says, a universal force gives each of us a spark of awareness which, through careful discipline, we must fight to retain beyond the end of our lives. Through Castaneda's vivid storytelling and philosophical depth, readers are offered a transformative perspective on reality and self-awareness. This thought-provoking book is essential for anyone yearning to unlock the mysteries of the universe and enrich their understanding of consciousness. Read more

  • The Scary Eagle
Format: Paperback
I was a big fan of Castaneda when his first books came out. I was in college then. Two years ago, I set out to read all of his books, first to last, in order. I highly recommend that exercise. This was one of the better Castaneda books. It's always dicey to write about Castaneda and the "r" word: did this really happen? I am inclined to say yes, but not in the usual way. I know that some might see this as a cop out, but I do believe that we all live in our heads and in a world that we create in there. No one else really has access to our experience except us. What we perceive is what we imagine to be the world out side of us, and our thoughts and feelings inside of us. Castaneda's experiences are as real as anyone's. Did he make it all up? I don't know, nor can I ever know. If he did make it all up, he was a genius. Who knows? Maybe Plato made up Socrates. Sure, the was a person named Socrates, and maybe there was a don Juan Matus. In the time of Plato and Aristotle, it was quite common to write dialogs about famous thinkers and write what they should have said, or write what they might of said, what was characteristic of their thinking. If the original never actually said that was not a problem. This wasn't our sense of history and truth that we have today. Ultimately, there is being, what is, and what is not. Truth, falsity, right, wrong, good, and evil are all of the mind. If you stick to facts, what is, you won't find any of the above. "There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so." Shakespeare. For me, Castaneda, don Juan, and don Genaro are great beings. I enjoy their mystery a great deal. ... show more

Format: Hardcover
It is difficult to think of this book by itself; The Eagle's Gift is the sixth of Castaneda's series of eight books on his apprenticeship as a sorcerer. I suggest that the books be read in the order written; each refers to events which have been described earlier, but each book contains Castaneda's heightened awareness of those events. This book is special for two reasons: first, it is largely about Castaneda's interactions with other apprentices, and gives us readers further insight as Castaneda's actions and thoughts are as seen by the others. Previously related events take on new meaning as the others, some more advanced than Carlos, some not, reflect on his thoughts, personality and progress into sorcery. Also, it has been pointed out many times, that the sorcery of the ancient seers was quite different from that of the modern seers. Modern seers seek -total freedom- don Juan tells Carlos that "Freedom is the Eagle's gift to man". To understand just what this means, you will have read the book. It is a 'must have' . ... show more

  • ... write this series off as merely fiction is a sad act of ignorance
Format: Paperback
To write this series off as merely fiction is a sad act of ignorance. There is no way of writing a review that could possibly come close to encompassing the soul shattering effects that truly attempting to grasp this knowledge has had on my life. I have been tumbling down this rabbit hole for over a decade, and I can tell you there have been moments I have deeply questioned my own sanity because of this author. Start at the beginning and read through to the end. A simpl google search will give you the chronological order of the books. This is not the place to start AT ALL. ... show more

wrote an anti-corporate message in my last review of this book - it didn't make the cut - trying it once again - imagine if everyone thought like this - the corporate structure would crumble - the planet would heal - people's minds would be free to evolve - the pigs at the top will never allow this - i'm surprised they haven't figured out a way to suppress the sale of these enlightening ideas - to everyone that quests for true awareness - "want nothing - fear no one - be free" ... show more

  • Another gift from the eagle
Format: Kindle
Another master piece of the Nagual Carlos, his testimony in better details and more importantly the use of his knowledge to achieve freedom.
