The Life and Teachings of Carlos Castaneda demystifies what Castaneda
sought to hide and delivers a detailed portrait of the forces and
influences that drove him to become a Nagual, a man of knowledge and
emptiness. Here, too, is a concept-to-concept comparison in which the
primary source of Castaneda’s ideas is uncovered—Gurdjieff’s Fourth Way.
Also explored are don Juan’s true identity, the meaning of Castaneda’s
“jump into the abyss,” the life of the Nagual and the strange sexual
power games he played with his “witches.” Included in full is the first
reference to Nagualism, anthropologist Daniel Brinton’s essay
“Nagualism: A Study in Native American Folklore and History,” written in
1894.
