The Active Side of Infinity

In The Active Side of Infinity, anthropologist and shaman Carlos Castaneda returns once again to the story of his apprenticeship with the Yaqui Indian sorcerer don Juan. When his teacher instructs him to collect the memorable events of his life-events with a profound significance for him that changed his life or illuminated his path-Castaneda performs a task that turns out to be the preparation necessary for facing -the definitive journey' that every human being has to take at the end of his life. Castaneda's approach to what modern man refers to as -life after death, ' and which for shamans is a concrete region they call The Active Side of Inifinity, makes for an unusally moving and revealing book.
