His insights paved the way for the future evolution of human consciousness. We are all deeply indebted to him." — Deepak Chopra In this book written immediately before his death, anthropologist and shaman Carlos Castaneda gives us his most autobiographical and intimately revealing work ever, the fruit of a lifetime of experience and perhaps the most moving volume in his oeuvre. "Ordinarily, events that change our path are impersonal affairs, and yet extremely personal. My teacher, don Juan Matsus, said this in guiding me as his apprentice to collect what I considered to be the memorable events of my life…. Don Juan described the total goal of the shamanistic knowledge that he handled as the preparation for facing the definitive journey: the journey that every human being has to take at the end of his life. He said that what modern man referred to vaguely as life after death was, for those shamans, a concrete region filled to capacity with practical affairs of a different order than the practical affairs of daily life, yet bearing a similar functional practicality. Don Juan considered that to collect the memorable events in their lives was, for shamans, the preparation for their entrance into that concrete region, which they called the active side of infinity." Review: The Active Side of Infinity - I have read and enjoyed all of the books written by Carlos Castaneda, with the exception of The Second Ring of Power. However, for the first time, in his book The Active Side of Infinity, I felt that Carlos Castaneda was revealing more about himself, than he had ever done in any of his previous works. I found this book to be an excellent synopsis of his life both before his apprenticeship and during his apprenticeship with don Juan. If you, like me, have been bedazzled by all of the information contained in his earlier works, you will find this a marvellous book for consolidating much of the information that you have read but not truly internalised. Review: One of his best, IMO - Having read all CC's books over the years, I was pleased to learn of this one recently. I enjoyed it perhaps the best of all his works. It is considerably less cryptic than some of his earlier books. Carlos is an engaging story teller and The Active Side of Infinity is no exception. Here, though, he is not concerned with erasing his personal history, so he presents a lucid re-accounting of his most momentous experiences with Don Juan. I was especially impressed with his description of the "foreign installation" which lock the average man into his endless cycle of self reflection. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #164,204 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #52 in Shamanism (Books) #53 in Native American Religion #126 in New Age Mysticism (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 387 Reviews | ## Images ![The Active Side of Infinity: Carlos Castaneda's Final Work on Don Juan's Teachings and Life After Death - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FCS7Gzl2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Active Side of Infinity *by J***N on March 16, 2006* I have read and enjoyed all of the books written by Carlos Castaneda, with the exception of The Second Ring of Power.

For fifty years *by D***. on May 14, 2025* All his books are well written. Whether you believe they are accurate accounts of his life are up to you, but they make you think. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Active Side of Infinity - The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge - The Art of Dreaming: An exploration lucid dreams, astral travel and shamic dream work --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1505563-the-active-side-of-infinity-carlos-castanedas-final-work-on](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1505563-the-active-side-of-infinity-carlos-castanedas-final-work-on) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
