Review: The Matrix has you; lose Maya; penetrate the wall of illusion; learn to see God. - I regard Casteneda's eight books (i.e., not including those subsequent books written by his companions) as sacred literature. And, like most such, as myth, which does not mean that which we used to believe but now know is false - it means that which is true in its logical structure without regard to the factual veracity of the stories. Like the New Testament and the Bhagavad Gita, the stories are designed to "hook" the reader into a following a new worldview. They all say the same thing in their mythopoeic ways, and multiple views gives good perspective as to the fundamental meaning.

I regard Casteneda's eight books (i.e., not including those subsequent books written by his companions) as sacred literature. And, like most such, as myth, which does not mean that which we used to believe but now know is false - it means that which is true in its logical structure without regard to the factual veracity of the stories.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Primitive But Profound: A Study in Anthropology
*by R***Z on April 19, 2005*

Fascinating anthropomorphic study. The book consists of various diary entrees of Carlos Casaneda encounters with an elderly Indian Yaqui Sorcerer who takes him under his wing and makes him an apprentice to ancient secret teachings that paradoxically contain primitive ideas and rituals with profound concepts. This to be "a man of knowledge.".This book is truly a cultural-religious-spiritual study before the hippy, Leary, Pranskter movements. I think most would agree it is a profound study of both ordinary and non-ordinary realities. What makes this so interesting is the simplicity of a primitive culture that contains hidden variables of deep meanings which are beyond our modern superficial Western culture that brags of it's technology and materialisms. We may have the sciences to manipulate raw materials but we are seriously lacking. In this book, there are pre-agreements made directly and alluded to before experimentation using three separate hallucinatory plants; Jimpson Weed, Peyote and Mushrooms, each plant representing a very different perception of non-ordinary reality, from power and ally to helper. The ideas agreed on are done with the skill of Don Juan, where one expects a particular paradigm prior to ingestion, truly psychology at work. If such teachings were not given special prior consensus than interpretations would be entirely different. The whole process of teaching takes much time - years- and there are serious ritual preparations involved. The majority of the book contains diary entries, while the later is a structural analysis of the events. It is all written very well and surprising when reading the second portion how intense all the ideas really are. Now this book is the first of a series of 15 books that further these teachings. While to some the idea of speaking to a Mescalito to show one the right way, to turning into a crow or fighting off an enemy trying to take your soul may see absurd or insignificant superstition but the deeper implications of the mind here are assessed and there is a psychology that ventures in deeper plains than mere doctrinal formulations and surface meanings.
