Eagle’s Gift (Original)

Description

Carlos Castaneda takes the reader into the very heart of sorcery| challenging both imagination and reason| shaking the very foundations of our belief in what is “natural” and “logical.” his landscape is full of terrors and mysterious forces| as sharply etched as a flash of lightning on the deserts and mountains where don Juan takes him to pursue the sorcerer’s knowledge–the knowledge that it is the Eagle that gives us| at our births| a spark of awareness| that it expects to reclaim at the end of our lives and which the sorcerer| through his discipline| fights to retain.
Castaneda describes how don Juan and his party| left this world–“the warriors of don Juan’s party had caught me for an eternal instant| before they vanished into the total light| before the Eagle let them go through”–and how he| himself| upon witnessing such a sight| jumped into the abyss.
