Frasi di Carlos Castaneda

Carlos Castaneda, in origine Carlos César Salvador Aranha Castañeda , è stato uno scrittore peruviano naturalizzato statunitense nel 1957.

È interessante quanto detto da Octavio Paz, premio Nobel 1990 per la letteratura, sull'operato di Carlos Castaneda: "Sono più interessato al lavoro di Castaneda, piuttosto che alle storie riguardo alla sua persona. A chi importa se Don Juan e Don Gennaro esistettero veramente? Questo è " pensare povero ". Ciò di cui mi interesso è il lavoro di Carlos Castaneda: idee, filosofia, paradigmi. Se i libri di Castaneda sono fantasia, sono i migliori libri di finzione che io abbia mai letto."

Frasi sul mondo di Carlos Castaneda

“Don Juan affermò che per vedere si deve prima fermare il mondo.”

Insomma, fermare il mondo era un'interpretazione corretta di alcuni stati di consapevolezza nei quali la realtà della vita quotidiana è alterata perché il flusso dell'interpretazione, che in genere scorre ininterrotto, è stato arrestato da un insieme di circostanze estranee a quel flusso. Nel mio caso, l'insieme di queste circostanze era la descrizione magica del mondo.
