i picked up a great book yesterday that made my mind jump right back to this thread, it is castenada's the active side of infinity....

don juan revealed to me as time went by that the shamans of ancient mexico had conceived of this collection of memorable events as a bona-fide device to stir caches of energy that exist within the self. they explained these caches as being composed of energy that originates in the body itself and becomes displaced, pushed out of reach by the circumstances of our daily lives. in this sense, the collection of memorable events was, for don juan and the shamans of his lineage, the means for redeploying their unused energy...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.
the whole book is basically a biography of castenada's memorable events and so really portray what he felt his purpose was and how don juan and others play their roles in castenada's journey. its really been a beautiful book so far and i reccommend it to anyone looking for a program to plug their own past into.
