These are some of the books that got me on the path and kept me on it. I don’t recommend this list lightly. If you want to know more about the Culture of The Warrior (title of next book!) pick up one of these powerful books. Enjoy!
Books by Carlos Castaneda
I would start at beginning and try to go slow, unlike me, who read them all in two months! But it did propel me like a rocket into a world I would have never dreamed of! It was after finishing them that I found myself in the California desert and discovered my brothers of the animal world.
Pay no attention to the use of hallucegentic drugs in the first book. This sometimes deters people from reading Castaneda. The drugs really have nothing to with his teachings. There is no one that describes the life of the warrior better than Carlos . I’ve yet to pick up one of his books and not shake my head in awe!
