	Don Juan Matus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Don Juan Matus is a major character in the series of books by Carlos Castaneda ("Don" is a common, polite, term of deference in Spanish).
		On subsequent visits, Don Juan revealed himself to Castaneda as being a sort of shaman who had inherited (through a lineage of teachers) an ancient Central American practice for refining one's awareness of the universe.
		In all of these books, Don Juan Matus was a nagual who was leader of a group of practitioners of tradition of perceptual enhancement.

	Magical Passes - Part Two - Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Don Juan stated, as categorically as he was able to, that since perceiving energy as it flows in the universe is not arbitrary or idiosyncratic, seers witness formulations of energy that happen by themselves and are not molded by human interference.
		Don Juan Matus told me that this set, which consists of fifteen magical passes whose function is to stir energy with the feet and legs, was considered by the shamans of his lineage to be the most effective way of doing what they called mashing energy.
		Don Juan Matus told his three female disciples that the secondary functions of the womb, upon being awakened by the appropriate magical passes, give the sensorial input of discomfort, but that what takes place at an energetic level is the influx of energy into the vortex of the womb.

		Don Juan speculated that it had always appeared to him that the movements that the bodies of those shamans executed automatically in heightened awareness were a sort of hidden heritage of mankind, something that had been put in deep storage, to be revealed only to those who were looking for it.
		Don Juan's explanation of redeployment was that human beings, perceived as conglomerates of energy fields, are sealed energetic units that have definite boundaries which don't permit the entrance or the exit of energy.
		Don Juan's contention was that if his disciples kept on doggedly practicing the magical passes, in spite of their confusion, they would arrive at a threshold when their redeployed energy would tip the scales, and they would be able to handle the magical passes with absolute clarity.

	Perceptor
		Don Juan Matus told his disciples that human being as organisms perform a stupendous maneuver which, unfortunately, gives perception a false front; they take the influx of sheer energy and turn it into sensory data, which they interpret following a strict system of interpretation which sorcerers call the human form.
		Don Juan explained to his four disciples that those shamans, or sorcerers, as he called them, discovered through practices that he could not fathom, that it is possible for human beings to perceive energy directly as it flows in the universe.
		Don Juan further explained that once those sorcerers of ancient times had established the validity of perceiving energy directly, which they called seeing, they proceeded to refine it by applying it to themselves, meaning that they perceived one another, whenever they wanted it, as a conglomerate of energy fields.

	WHO are DON JUAN MATUS and CARLOS CASTANEDA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Don Juan Matus is Mexican Yaqui Indian sorcerer, successor of the very ancient lineage of sorcerers.
		It becomes evident that don Juan and his group are not just sorcerers, but seers - 'the new seers' - who possess perfect knowledge - these seers met another creatures on Earth, made contacts with them, and travel in the universe, dimensions, time and beyond...
		In the rule of the tradition is said that she had to left the world with the old group (don Juan's) and to be like lighthouse for the new group and to give them hope and purpose to reach her.

		Carlos: Among the infinitude of things that don Juan taught me were some bodily movements which were discovered and used by the shamans of ancient Mexico to foster states of profound physical and mental well-being.
		Carlos: Don Juan explained to me that in specific states of heightened awareness called dreaming, those men and women were able to reach levels of optimum physical balance.
		Don Juan said that the movements were viewed as magical passes from the first moment that they were formulated.

	DON JUAN MATUS: Real or Imagined?
		Don Juan is described as being born in Yuma, Arizona Territory, to a Yaqui Indian father from Sonora, Mexico and a Yuma Indian mother from the Territory of Arizona.
		Don Juan told Castaneda that Osorio had been an actor and during one of his theatrical tours he had met another master shaman, Elias Ulloa, who transmitted to him the knowledge of his lineage of sorcerers.
		Don Juan Matus was supposedly born in 1891 and died in 1973, although some references cite 1976.

	Life, death and philosophy of Carlos Castaneda, celebrity sorcerer and best-selling author (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		According to Don Juan, erasing personal history is important since it separates the sorcerer from his past and keeps his luminosity intact.
		According to don Juan, the universe is an infinite agglomeration of thread-like energy fields called the Eagle's emanations, which radiate from a source of inconceivable proportions.
		The lack of colloquial or cultural traits in don Juan's conversations as reported by Castaneda have furthered the notion that his bestsellers are fictitious, albeit brilliant, pieces of literary genius.

	Yaqui - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Don Juan Matus, the mystic teacher appearing in a series of books by Carlos Castaneda, was described as Yaqui Indian.
		However, critics have raised the question of whether Juan Matus was a real person or a fictional character, and any connection between actual Yaqui religious practices and those written about by Castaneda are controversial at the least.
		The Yaqui attempted to form an independent nation separate from Mexico in the 1820s, under the Yaqui leader Juan Banderas (executed 1833) who wished to unite the Mayo, Opata, and Pima tribes, but the effort failed and the Yaqui remained within the scope of Mexican legal authority.

		Don Juan was not interested in teaching his knowledge; he taught it to his disciples in order to continue his lineage.
		Don Juan Matus' world is so vast, so mysterious and contradictory, that it isn't suitable for an exercise in linear exposition; the most one can do is describe it, and that alone is a supreme effort.
		Since don Juan's lineage could not continue, due to the energetic configuration of his four students, their mission was transformed from perpetuating the lineage into closing it, if possible, with a golden clasp.

	The Informant and Carlos Castaneda (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Again, if Don Juan was an actual person, a composite of several people, a total fabrication or a figment of Castaneda's imagination, the events leading up to meeting Don Juan and the various interactions with people, places, and things don't necessarily have to be discarded.
		Don Juan Matus, real or imagined, may have been or become Castaneda's informant in Castaneda's books, but initially it was the bio-searcher that instructed him in the preparation and uses of all parts of the plant, roots, leaves, flowers and seeds.
		Don Juan told Castaneda that Osorio had been an actor and during one of his theatrical tours he had met another master shaman, Elias Ulloa, who transmitted to Osorio the knowledge of his lineage of sorcerers and thus inturn through Osorio to Don Juan, then down in lineage to Castaneda.

	Mindfulness: Conversations with Don Coyotl
		Don Coyotl is a man who comes as close as one could imagine to truly being "faceless." For me he only exists in the shuttling energies of the universe itself.
		This was why Juan's "coaching" was divided into two parts: in heightened awareness Carlos would be able to directly understand the meaning of his words, and second in normal awareness where Juan again and again tricked Carlos' reasonable mind by giving him instructions of doing the most ridiculous of things.
		Juan Matus is not a master or a guru or a "Christ" to me - he is simply a simpleton, like me, that found a way to truly be what he really was.

	The Teaching of Don Juan Matus
		Don Juan knew that this rabbit’s life on the Earth was coming to an end, according to its destiny.
		Once don Juan clapped Castaneda on the back with his palm (he often used this technique so that to shift the assemblage point, that is the zone of distribution of the disciple’s consciousness) — and Castaneda, prepared for this by preceding exercises, entered the static variation of Nirvana in one of the Brahmanic states.
		Once don Juan assembled his disciples, took a sack and put into it the radio, the tape recorder and several other things that he found in the house of one of them, then he put the sack on that man’s back, put a table on another disciple’s back and took them to the mountains.

	Tulpa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Additionally, there was a legend that talked about a Mexican shaman by the name of Don Juan Matus, who had taught his student Carlos Castaneda about the true nature of the physical universe and how intense concentration can summon, apport, and even materialize objects out of thin air.
		It was said that Carlos Castaneda was able to materialize a living squirrel on the palm of Don Juan's hand during one of the lessons that Don Juan taught to Carlos Castaneda.
		In the X-Files episode Arcadia (6X13), the president of the homeowners' association for an exclusive gated community uses a tulpa to enforce the neighborhood rules; those who repeatedly violate the guidelines meet a grisly fate at its hands.

		The early don Juan books were pretty much uncritically accepted even in the academic anthropological community.
		During this time, he was supposed to have interviewed a shaman named don Juan Matus on several occasions.
		These were The teachings of don Juan: A Yaqui way of knowledge (1968), A separate reality: Further conversations with don Juan (1971), Journey to Ixtlan: The lessons of don Juan (1972), Tales of power (1974), and The second ring of power (1977).

	The Informant and Carlos Castaneda
		Even the staunchest critic against Don Juan existing, that is, if he was real or not, would not go as far to say that Castaneda wasn't.
		The interesting part is the coincidence of the so-called "chance" meeting between Castaneda and Don Juan at the bus station in Nogales, Arizona in June, 1960 --- which happened at the most only a few short weeks AFTER Castaneda met with his informant in the desert for the very first time.
		Then again, if the informant was used as a model by Castaneda for Don Juan, or if aspects of his manners or abilities seeped into the characterization of Don Juan, I can't really say as he was neither Yaqui, Native American, nor Mexican.

	Stivale, Narratives and Metanarratives: Carlos Castaneda's 'Textual-Becomings' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		For in the ten volumes published since 1968 of the "conversations" and "teachings" of don Juan Matus, Castaneda constructs a complex nexus of "textual becomings" that have yet to be fully explored, but that clearly serve as "mediators" for a wide range of readers.
		With the help of don Genero, don Juan pushes Castaneda further toward understanding the rational incompatibility between the "tonal" (island of daily existence) and the "nagual" (all that is "beyond the island," "where power hovers", 1974: 126-127).
		In fact, it was to these experiences that don Juan referred in questioning the note-taking practice and in forcing Castaneda to exercise remembrance by reciting all that he recorded throughout the apprenticeship.

	Tensegrity by Carlos Castaneda: The Second Series: The Series for the Womb
		Don Juan Matus believed that evolution was the product of intending at a very profound level.
		Don Juan was of the opinion that if we were to 1 1 intend it now, there is no way of knowing what other options for flying would be available besides wings.
		Because of these particular circumstances, their conclusion was that the secondary function of the male organs is something which they termed evolutionary support: a sort of springboard that catapults men to perform extraordinary feats of what sor- cerers of ancient Mexico called unbending intent, or clearheaded purpose and concentration.

		He was studying anthropology in Los Angeles, and Don Juan served as a field source for some fading knowledge of tribal and shamanistic rituals in Northern Mexico.
		Castaneda, during his course of study with don Juan Matus, Yaqui man of knowledge, learned to move into nonordinary reality, and experience not only magical events, but also that the ways of knowledge and power are difficult and dangerous.
		I cannot say what was in don Juan's heart when he took on Castaneda as a student, but to my eyes he seems to be reminding the Westerner that the lessons taught by the West are incomplete.

	Carlos Castaneda Interview
		A: For don Juan Matus, a pragmatic and extremely sober shaman, "spirituality" was an empty ideality, an assertion without basis that we believe to be very beautiful because it is encrusted with literary concepts and poetic expressions, but which never goes beyond that.
		In view of all this, don Juan believed that "spirituality" is simply a description of something impossible to achieve within the patterns of the world of everyday life, and it is not a real way of acting.
		Once, when don Juan was still here, I spent a whole year in search of gurus, teachers and wise men to give me an inkling of what they were doing.
