Carlos Castaneda - Carlos Castaneda Carlos Castaneda (December 25, 1925 - April 27, 1998) was a US writer of Peruvian origin, primarily known for his Don Juan book series (12 books and many shorter works). He claimed to have been born in São Paulo, Brazil on Christmas Day in 1931, but immigration records show that he was born 6 years earlier in Cajamarca, Peru. He anglicized his name by changing "ñ" (Castañeda) into "n". He was educated at the University of California, Los Angeles (B.A 1962; Ph.D 1970). In 1960, he met the Yaqui shaman Don Juan Matus, and learning from him, Castaneda wrote the partly autobiographical works for which he is known. Notable works include: The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge (1968) ISBN 0-520217578.
Carlos Zarate - Carlos Zarate Carlos Zarate Serna (born May 23, 1951) in Tepito, Distrito Federal, Mexico, and better known in the world of boxing plainly as Carlos Zarate, has the distinction of being the only boxer in history to put together two streaks of 20 or more knockout wins in a row. Zarate, considered along with rival Wilfredo Gomez to be among the best punchers in the history of boxing, and probably the two best punchers in the lighter divisions, had an amateur record of 33 wins and 3 losses, with 30 knockout wins, and he won the Mexican Golden Gloves, or Guantes De Oro, in 1969.

Toltec (Castaneda) - Toltec (Castaneda) The term "Toltec" is used in the works of writer Carlos Castaneda to denote a person who has achieved a high state of awareness. Castaneda makes it clear that his use of the term "Toltec" is specialized and does not refer to the Toltec people in general..
Don Juan Matus - Matus is a major character in the series of books by Carlos Castaneda. Assuming he was a real person (as claimed by Castaneda), his real name was changed to maintain his anonymity. In Castaneda's books, Don Juan Matus was a Yaqui Indian whom he met during anthropological field work around the US-Mexico border. 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. Taisha Abelar and Florinda Donner-Grau also wrote about the same Don Juan Matus, although he went by different pseudonyms in their books such as Mariano Aureliano. In all of these books, Don Juan Matus was a nagual who was leader of a group.

Tensegrity - Tensegrity Tensegrity was a term used by Carlos Castañeda to refer to the modernized version of some movements called magical passes (a series of meditative stretches, stances and movements) developed by Native American shamans who lived in Mexico in times prior to the Spanish conquest. Castaneda borrowed the term Tensegrity from architecture because the magical passes combine tension and relaxation of the muscles, joints and ligaments in a way that yields a stronger, more flexible, and more "aware" physical body. In mechanics and biomechanics, tensegrity or tensional integrity is a property of objects with components that use tension and compression in a combination that yields strength. Animals and other biological structures are made strong by their tensioned and compressed parts. Muscles and bones act in unison to increase the strengthen.
Toltec - Maya. Toltec rulers are said to have included: Chalchiuh Tlatonac - first Toltec king, founder of Tula Mixcoamazatzin Huetzin Mixcoatl or Mixcoatl Totepeuh Ihuitimal Topiltzin Ce Acatl Quetzalcoatl, son of Mixcoatl, the most famous Toltec ruler Matlacxochitzin Nauhyotzin Matlacoatzin Tlilcoatzin - died c. 1000 (?) Huemac - the last Toltec king, died in exile c. 1100 (?), some 6 years after the fall of Tula In the 1941, the "Sociedad Mexicana de Antropología" confirmed that Tula was the capital of the Toltec, as had long been tradition and suggested by archeologists since the 19th century. Some schollars, like Laurette Séjourné regret the decision, claiming that several season of excavation only revealed a minor city, not enough to justify the legend of the Toltecs. The site of Tula actually shows it to.
Shamanism - vocation. Oftentimes the shaman has, or acquires, one or more familiars, usually spirits in animal form, or (sometimes) of departed shamans. Shamans can manipulate these spirits to diagnose and cure victims of witchcraft. Some societies distinguish shamans who cure from sorcerers who harm; others believe that all shamans have the power to both cure and kill; that is, shamans are in some societies also witches. The shaman usually enjoys great power and prestige in the community but may also be suspected of harming others and thus feared. Most shamans are men, but there are societies in which women may be shamans (in Old Norse culture, as mentioned above, only women; for men to practice shamanism was shameful). In some societies male shamans exhibit a "two-spirit" identity, assuming the dress and attributes.
Nagual - such as Huitzilopochtli/hummingbird and Quetzalcoatl/feathered serpent. Nagual is also a term used in the books by Carlos Castaneda to describe a person who is able to lead people to new areas of perception..

Market Street Milk Shake - behind. An urban legend has developed around Market Street Milk Shake, to the effect that drinking it gives people the ability to accept the conditions in which they live, instead of actually doing anything about them. Some variations include the incorporation of belief systems such as those espoused by Carlos Castaneda, or Santeria. Without corroboration, such inferences are difficult to verify..
