Profound teaching and riveting storytelling!

I revisited this incredible book and teaching after reading it when I was a teenager many years ago. It is the type of book that has so much depth and dimension it can be heard multiple times and you will feel like you're hearing it for the first time. The narrator does a fantastic job at bringing this book to life and making it thoroughly entertaining and riveting!

Don Juan

What does Luis Moreno bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Excellent Narrator. A good narrator makes or breaks an audiobook. Brings the story to life.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Brings a whole new perspective to what we call reality!!

Any additional comments?

Was looking forward to the entire series but the other books have not been forthcoming. Would really love to see them released in audio format at least up to The Fire Within......

Great work of truth

once again Don Juan sets Carlos idea of western reality on its ear leaving him pondering if the life of a warrior is truly his path.

Review of Journey To Ixtlan

“Journey To Ixtlan “ must be read, to begin an understanding of the bulk of Carlos Castaneda’s works. This is my third reading and I’ve received a clearer over all meaning with each one. All of Carlos Casteneda’s books are study worthy.

So many GEMS but many miss them! Every true shaman is always out of this realm.

I Wish There Were More of The Series on Audible

Where does Journey to Ixtlan rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Castaneda's classic series is a masterful collection of writings which show great insight into Toltec teachings. It is still the definitive source for Toltec knowledge.

What about Luis Moreno’s performance did you like?

Luis Moreno captures the expression o the people speaking when reading their quotes. He serves as a great voice for Castaneda, because he gives one the feeling that Castaneda is really reading the book to you. At the same time, he does not overdo it.

Any additional comments?

I wish there were more of Castaneda's books on Audible.

🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶

I’ve read this book a few times but this is my first listen. I don’t ever remember it bringing up this much melancholy within me. So much depth and sadness in the warrior travelers journey.

Very informative and well read

The third book in Carlos Castaneda series, is very informative and fills in a lot of gaps from the first two books. Luis Moreno is a wonderful narrator who brings the characters to life.
