«Il lato attivo dell'infinito» is the spiritual essay by Carlos Castaneda, published by BUR Rizzoli in paperback (299 pages, in Italian).
Castaneda, guided by don Juan Matus, explains how shamans prepare to cross to the 'active side of infinity', the region they access after death. For that transition, the warrior reviews the key moments of his life, gathers his emotions and knowledge like a personal album, recovers his vital energy, and faces the unknown without fear.
Twelfth volume in the series The Teachings of Don Juan; the English original, The Active Side of Infinity, is from 1998 and this Italian edition was published in 2000.
For readers interested in spirituality, mysticism, and shamanism, and for those who follow the work of Carlos Castaneda.
Carlos Castaneda was a Peruvian-American writer, trained as an anthropologist. Starting in 1968, Castaneda published a series of books that describe alleged 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 character of Don Juan and the training he described is now generally considered to be fabricated and to have little relation to the actual cultural practices of the Yaqui. Castaneda's early writings featuring Don Juan were bestsellers with the general public, and are considered to be a significant influence on neoshamanism and the New Age movement more broadly.
