    About this audiobook

    World-renowned bestselling author Carlos Castaneda's Selection of his wrtings on the shamans of ancient Mexico. Originally drawn to Yaqui Indian spiritual leader don Juan Matus for his knowledge of mind-altering plants, bestselling author Carlos Castaneda soon immersed himself in the sorcerer's magical world entirely. Ten years after his first encounter with the shaman, Castaneda examines his field notes and comes to understand what don Juan knew all along-that these plants are merely a means to understanding the alternative realities that one cannot fully embrace on one's own. In Journey to Ixtlan, Carlos Castaneda introduces readers to this new approach for the first time and explores, as he comes to experience it himself, his own final voyage into the teachings of don Juan, sharing with us what it is like to truly "stop the world" and perceive reality on his own terms.

      Gets monotonous as the the warrior is this and the warrior is that … 3 chapters in and had enough of this repetitive nonsense
    • 5/5
      Very wise and deep text. Good quality sound of voice.
    • 5/5
      This is very awesome and amazing! I am happy I read it. This may be my new bedtime story.
    • 4/5
      A good insight into the knowledge of a Yaqui Indian and the road to eventual crossing over.
    • 5/5
      These are guidelines we should constantly follow. Listen, correct, listen again, correct again.
    • 4/5
      If you are not already familiar with Castaneda’s writings, this book will probably prove unsatisfying. If you are familiar with his writings, this book is like a Far Side desk calendar. It lets you wander through your memories of his earlier books and ponder.Castaneda is not the most original writer of twentieth century magical explorations, but he is one of the most enjoyable. His mix of situational humor, grim reality, and apparent humility make it easy to read and enjoy his books.
