In 1961, a young anthropologist Carlos Castaneda began his apprenticeship with Juan Matus, a powerful mystical Yaqui Indian spiritual leader. The first five years of this unique experience are described in the book The Teachings of Don Juan. The Way of Knowledge of the Yaqui Indians. In 1968, Castaneda, determined to plunge even deeper into the mystical world, returned to Mexico and continued his studies with Don Juan. Exploring the effects of hallucinogenic plants, he plunges into experiences previously inaccessible to people of Western civilisation. A Separate Reality describes the very personal aspects of Castaneda's relationship with Don Juan on the difficult path to becoming a "man of knowledge". The stories of Don Juan formed the basis of Castaneda's now-classic works on the spiritual philosophy of ancient Mexico, bestsellers that have captured the imagination of millions of readers around the world.
