Great book. Very thought provoking and insightful. A genuine observation and reflection on our metanoia and how we might exist and operate outside its necessary confines. A very well-written book, if not somewhat dry. I would love to have a conversation with Pearce and be able to ask him a few questions about these ideas. Wonderful references to Castaneda and Jung, as well as many others. I would absolutely suggest this book to anyone, but it is somewhat dense with information and imagination. Readers would do well to have some familiarity with Castaneda, Don Juan, and philosophy.
