Description

Carlos Castaneda was a hugely influential explorer of personal development, fringe consciousness and non-ordinary states. He is sometimes said to be the founder of the New Age movement. Through a series of ten books, he explored the path to becoming what he called a ‘sorcerer’ or a ‘person of knowledge’. He claimed (probably falsely) to have been taught the gnostic tradition of the Yaqui Indians by an old shaman called Don Juan Matus. Eagle’s Gift is the sixth book in the series. Castaneda meets a wise eagle on the astral plane and the eagle teaches him things about the nature of time and the soul’s journey. There is a summary of the teachings here: http://www.prismagems.com/castaneda/donjuan6.html
