Well, here's something for you to chew on. Don Juan did not teach nihilism or zen. He taught Castaneda to stop skimming. To stop taking shortcuts. If i might add, that's what it seems you are doing when 1)asking for just a summary, 2)asking us when you know there are more books to read. Ask yourself, how attentive was i when reading Journey to Ixtlan? That book is chock full of action.
When i see all the philosophy books lined up nice and even in bookstores, i think:"Which one is right?" The teachings that Don Juan passed down are not philosophy, they are action. Philosophy is 'thought'. And if i may be so blunt, So what makes you think that your philosophy will be worthwhile? (This is an honest question)
