There's a couple of books that Id like to recommend by Olga Kharatidi. They compliment Castanedas work very well. Second one is not for the faint hearted!!
First one is Entering the Circle
The second is The Master of Lucid Dreams
Heres a description from Amazon on the first book Entering the Circle
A sort of autobiographical adventure, this book describes Kharitidi's
mystical experiences in the Altai Mountains in Siberia. When a friend
asked her to come along and observe a healing ceremony there, the
perceptions of the Soviet-trained psychiatrist suddenly and drastically
changed. Kharitidi's whole belief system was shaken with the help of
Umai the shaman/teacher, whose wisdom is imparted through dreams. The
author set out to broaden the base of this knowledge and met a
prestigious physicist who also experiments with time/space studies and
filled in some of the gaps in Kharitidi's knowledge. Now committed to
sharing her new-found understanding, Kharitidi has moved to New Mexico
and lectures all over the world.
And Heres the summary of the second book The Master of Lucid Dreams
Why don't people heal? Why do they stay wounded--some even
driven to suicide by their pain-despite the best that organic and
psychological medicine can offer? To find the answers, Russian--born
psychiatrist Olga Kharitidi traveled to exotic Samarkand, a major
cultural and spiritual crossroads, and ancient capital of Uzbekistan, in
the heart of Central Asia.No stranger to mystical
and shamanic experiences, Dr. Kharitidi had already immersed herself in
Siberian native traditions of seeing and healing. Now, at the invitation
of an emissary from an ancient secret brotherhood, Dr. Kharitidi set
out to learn firsthand the secrets of healing deep emotional wounds. As
she quickly discovered, to master these methods she would first have to
heal herself.Under the tutelage of the mysterious and
charismatic Michael, the master of lucid dreams and protector of
esoteric teachings first given millennia ago, Dr. Kharitidi entered
another world altogether. There, she saw how our deepest emotional
traumas are held in place by baleful spirits and can only be overcome by
the technique of dreaming while awake. A major
contribution to experiential psychology and a vivid revelation of
little-known ancient teachings, The Master of Lucid
Dreams describes a startlingly different and effective
approach to inner healing.
