Helpful Score: 1
Despite the fact that the 30 years which have intervened since I first read this book, and the cynicism I've accrued, this book packs a serious wallop. The Don Juan series of books always gives me a shiver and a peak into a different world.

This volume shows the reader the means by which a "man of power" sees, as opposed to merely looking, and how by his concentrated "seeing" he can, indeed must, "stop the world." In it, Carlos Castaneda describes the lessons, the omens, the exercises of the will and body, the arduous trials and tests, the simple yet mysterious demonstrations, the extraordinary visions and experiences by which don Juan, his mentor and friend, prepares him for the task of perceiving things as they are, instead of describing them by the words, conventions
