Carlos Castaneda, the most mysterious, most famous Author of the second half of the 20th century, who shifted the assemblage point of all humanity.

The first book is not yet the “real” Castaneda, because the young anthropologist cannot yet accept the magical world of his teacher don Juan and is trying to write a “scientific review” of the incredible events taking place around him. But here begins the greatest spiritual odyssey of our time.

And you, reader, be careful! Even if you begin to read Castaneda’s 11 books only as fascinating magical stories, considering them pure fiction, you will never look at the world with the same eyes.

The reality of Indian magicians and their allies is so dangerous for the usual system of perception that Carlos, an anthropologist from Los Angeles, having written his first book, is trying to escape from it forever. But the Force decides otherwise: two years later he returned – and a new cycle of training began.

“Separate Reality”, like the first book, is a description of an experience that he does not yet understand. Reader, listen to good advice: for a more accurate perception of the Toltec teachings, start getting acquainted with it from the third book, “Journey to Ixtlan,” and only then return to the first two, because it would be too sad, on the one hand, to be afraid of an inaccurate description of the Path and discard it, on the other hand, is not to become familiar with those most important provisions of the Teaching that were included in the first two books.
