Carlos Castaneda Quote
You take yourself too seriously, he said slowly. You are too damn important inyour own mind. That must be changed! You are so goddamn important that you feeljustified to be annoyed with everything. You're so damn important that you can afford toleave if things don't go your way. I suppose you think that shows you have character.That's nonsense! You're weak, and conceited! - Dom Juan

About Carlos Castaneda
Carlos Castañeda (December 25, 1925 – April 27, 1998) was an American anthropologist and writer. Starting in 1968, Castaneda published a series of books that describe a training in shamanism that he received under the tutelage of a Yaqui "Man of Knowledge" named don Juan Matus. While Castaneda's work was accepted as factual by many when the books were first published, the training he described is now generally considered to be fictional.
The first three books—The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge, A Separate Reality, and Journey to Ixtlan—were written while he was an anthropology student at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Castaneda was awarded his bachelor's and doctoral degrees from the University of California, Los Angeles based on the work he described in these books.
At the time of his death in 1998, Castaneda's books had sold more than eight million copies and had been published in 17 languages.
