You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge''''' was published by the [[University of California Press]] in 1968 as a work of [[anthropology]], though it is now widely considered a work of fiction.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2398/did-carlos-castaneda-hallucinate-that-stuff-in-the-don-juan-books-or-make-it-up|title=The Straight Dope: Did Carlos Castaneda hallucinate that stuff in the Don Juan books or make it up?|date=2002-06-21|accessdate=2016-03-23))</ref><ref name="salon_2007">((cite web |last1=Marshall |first1=Robert |date=April 12, 2007 |title=The dark legacy of Carlos Castaneda |url=https://www.salon.com/2007/04/12/castaneda/ |website=[[Salon (website)|Salon]] |publisher=Salon Media Group |access-date=14 July 2018))</ref> It was written by [[Carlos Castaneda]] and submitted as his [[thesis|Master's thesis]] in the school of Anthropology. It purports to document the events that took place during an apprenticeship with a self-proclaimed [[Yaqui people|Yaqui]] Indian Sorcerer, [[don Juan Matus]] from [[Sonora]], [[Mexico]] between 1960 and 1965.

The book is divided into two sections. The first section, ''The Teachings'', is a first-person narrative that documents Castaneda's initial interactions with don Juan. He speaks of his encounters with Mescalito (a teaching spirit inhabiting all [[Lophophora williamsii|peyote]] plants), divination with lizards and flying using the "''yerba del diablo''" (lit. "Devil's Weed"; [[Datura innoxia|Jimson weed]]), and turning into a blackbird using "''humito''" (lit. "little smoke"; a smoked powder containing ''[[Psilocybe mexicana]]''). The second, ''A Structural Analysis'', is an attempt, Castaneda says, at "disclos[ing] the internal cohesion and the cogency of don Juan’s Teachings."<ref>Castaneda, Carlos. ''The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge''. Berkeley: U of California P, 1998: 155.</ref>

The 30th-anniversary edition, published by the University of California Press in 1998, contains commentary by Castaneda not present in the original edition. He writes of a general discouragement from the project by his professors (besides [[Clement Woodward Meighan]], a professor who supported the project early in its conception. In the foreword, Castaneda gives "full credit" for the approval of his dissertation to Meighan). He offers a new thesis on a mind-state he calls "total freedom" and claims that he used the teachings of his Yaqui shaman as "springboards into new horizons of cognition".<ref>Castaneda, Carlos. The Teachings of Don Juan. New York: Eagle's Trust, 1998. Google books. Web. 26 Nov. 2014. https://books.google.com</ref> In addition, it contains a foreword by anthropologist [[Walter Goldschmidt]], who was a professor of anthropology at [[UCLA]] during the time the books were written, and an introduction by the author. A 40th anniversary edition was published by the University of California Press in 2008.

The book was a [[The New York Times Best Seller list|''New York Times'' best-seller]], and it—along with its sequels—sold over 10 million copies in the United States.<ref>((cite web |last1=Walters |first1=Ray |title=Paperback Talk |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1981/01/11/books/paperback-talk.html |website=The New York Times |accessdate=30 December 2019 |date=11 January 1981))</ref>
