Publisher's summary

With The Teachings of Don Juan, Carlos Castaneda chronicled a journey toward enlightenment under the tutelage of Yaqui Indian guru don Juan. Having sold more than eight million copies of his books around the world, Castaneda has inspired countless readers with his awareness-expanding experiences. After spending five years with Don Juan in the early 60s, Castaneda returned to Mexico in 1968 to continue his exploration of non-ordinary reality and draw ever closer to his ultimate goal of becoming a man of knowledge. Far from Western civilization, Don Juan and his world of hallucinogenic drugs offer insight and inducements toward true awakening—wisdom that Castaneda passes on in this astounding work.

a fantastic sorcery story

Although some people say carlos made these stories up please ignore. they're legitimate. there was a government sponsored smear campaign which included bribery and book deals in late 80' and 90's, It would be thoroughly impossible for one person to make all this stuff up. to me Don Juan's teachings are the most important information that anyone has documented because it has to do with awareness and our Birthright.

Don Juan and Don Gennaro are our true father figures and are the last of their kind.
keep this knowledge alive. the knowledge of the assemblage point.
if a separate reality is your first reading from Carlos Castaneda please continue with his other books. they awaken your spirit.
the narrator of these audio books has done a fabulous job depicting Carlos and Don Juan and their cohorts. recommended.

As perfect a reading of this amazing text as can b

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I'd read the Castaneda books multiple times in college, and knew the reading would have to be very special to preserve the beauty and integrity of Don Juan's words. Moreno is pitch perfect.

profound and deep teaching

Incredible mystical Journey with very entertaining narration. Thoroughly enjoyable storytelling, riveting! The teachings of Don Juan and Separate Reality are Epic.! I read these books in the seventies and changed the trajectory of my life, now listening many years later equally as profound.

Not my favorite but still good.

This one is much heavier than the last. It’s still worth the listen. Just part of the journey.

Unreal, exotic, interesting, superb writing

I knew Carlos Castaneda's graduate professor at UCLA. He told me he never doubted CC's experiences. They were not made up stories, they were authentic. Then a nurse friend of mind told she frequently saw CC at a psychological clinic at UCLA. She assumed he was struggling and visited frequently for help. After reading all the Don Juan books I felt as if I understood CC'd experiences. I wondered if different types of psychoactive plants had been consumed, but not mentioned in his writings due to his professors or that his readers would find ingestion of drugs to mean his experiences were not real. This would be a shame if the reader felt this way, CC was being a cultural anthropologist and ethnologist who expressed his experiences quite well. I felt fortunate to understand more about Mexican Indian traditions, ways of life and a true rendition of CC's dedication to understanding the sorcerers lives.
