description: "A man of knowledge is free...he has no honor, no dignity, no family, no home, no country, but only life to be lived." --don Juan  In 1961 a young anthropologist subjected himself to an extraordinary apprenticeship to bring back a fascinating glimpse of a Yaqui Indian's world of "non-ordinary reality" &amp; the difficult and dangerous road a person must travel to become "a man of knowledge." Yet on the bring of that world, challenging to all that we believe, he drew back.  Then in 1968, Carlos Castaneda returned to Mexico, to don Juan &amp; his hallucinogenic drugs, &amp; to a world of experience no one from our Western civilization had ever entered before.
