For over 40 years, Carlos Castaneda’s The Teachings of Don Juan has inspired audiences to expand their world view beyond traditional Western forms. Originally published as Castaneda’s master’s thesis in anthropology, Teachings documents Castaneda’s supposed apprenticeship with a Yaqui Indian sorcerer, don Juan Matus. Dividing the work into two sections, Castaneda begins by describing don Juan’s philosophies, then continues with his own reflections.

For us to perceive any of the worlds that exist beside our own, not only do we have to covet them but we need to have sufficient energy to seize them. In this revolutionary book, Carlos Castaneda offers listeners the key to this energetic conditioning for the first time, revealing a series of body positions and physical movements that enabled various sorcerers to navigate their own sorceric journeys. By sharing this wisdom, Carlos Castaneda makes it possible for listeners to travel to some of these other realms, which are as real, unique, absolute, and engulfing as our own world.

When W. L. Ham approaches the Nagual Lujan Matus for insight into enigmatic events that have marked his awareness, what he learns revolutionizes everything he thought he knew. Realizing that he has found an authentic guide, Bill enters into a intensive apprenticeship and directly begins to experience the multiplex of luminous interactivity that is our living matrix as never before. Like countless others, Bill had been galvanized when concepts like "the energy double', "dreaming awareness', and "first and second attention', were introduced in the 1960s.

It is said that the practice of dream yoga deepens our awareness during all our experience: the dreams of the night; the dream-like experience of the day; and the bardo experiences after death. Indeed, the practice of dream yoga is a powerful tool of awakening, used for hundreds of years by the great masters of the Tibetan traditions. Unlike in the Western psychological approach to dreams, the ultimate goal of Tibetan dream yoga is the recognition of the nature of mind or enlightenment itself.

Who am I, if not my heart? A close encounter with the mysterious force field universally known as the white light, triggers a series of catalytic awakenings that deliver radical insights into what it means to be alive. In sharing these revelatory seeds of consciousness, Lujan invites us to openly examine bias and discover where our alignments are leading us. Incalculable variables of vibration define our reality from A to Z. In a rapidly changing technological and social context, it is now time we took a very close look at the pervasive influence of frequency upon our perception and behavior, both individually and collectively. To be governed by heart awareness within our personal application to the world is how we can reassign our attention to what actually matters.

Acclaimed author, process-oriented therapist, and earlier Jungian analyst Arnold Mindell teaches us how to find the power to make our own choices and control our own lives. Drawing on his experiences with "witch-doctors" and shamans in Africa, Japan, Russia, and India, Mindell leads us on a "death walk" through our worst fears and deepest emotional crises to wake our inner shaman - which he calls our "dreamingbody." Methods for tapping the wisdom hidden in crises free our own internal sorcery for use in our daily lives. These methods enable us to become whole from within and to avoid the phantoms of unrealistic hopes and desires that limit our lives.

Fantastic Book full of wisdom with lots of humor, more of the carlos books need to be put on audiobook. The way of looking at ourselves and our death and the reality of how serious it should be, but how in reality we believe things about ourselves that are false images,this book makes me listen !

So well done! How about doing Tales of Power?
If you could sum up Journey to Ixtlan in three words, what would they be?
This classic Castaneda story, the first which doesn't feature psychedelic drugs, holds up well in time. I first read it 40 years ago. Immediately, after listening to Journey to Ixtlan, I tried to find the audiobook version of Tales Of Power, the book that follows this one, but it apparently does not exist in audio format. I would beg Luis Moreno to do this sequel, as the new generation of audiobook listeners shouldn't be tantalized with Journey To Ixtlan, salivating for more, only to find the series abruptly terminated.
What other book might you compare Journey to Ixtlan to and why?
Autobiography of a Yogi is the closest that comes to mind. Truly, there is little out there that compares to Castaneda's writing. He's in a class by himself.
Which scene was your favorite?
The "hiding" of Carlos's car was a lot of fun.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I love the concept of a "Worthy Opponent," and Carlos's experiences with his.
Any additional comments?
Put Tales of Power into Audiobook format!

Made me cry
If you could sum up Journey to Ixtlan in three words, what would they be?
closure.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Don Genaro.
His teaching style is so different to that of Don Juan. He plays a much more important role in this book.
Which scene was your favorite?
The perceptions of reality without the use of psychotropic plants. (the lost car in particular)
Close second is the details of the feud with Catalina.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes. Don Genaro's story at the end made me cry. The insight he gives into the life of a 'Man of Knowledge' was something Don Juan never touched on.
Any additional comments?
You must listen to the first 2 books before this one

Journey to Ixtan an awakening.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would have to reccomend this book on the premis that it exposes the illusion of our reality.
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
The most compelling aspect I would have to say is the adventures Don Juan takes our hero on.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
The narrator was adequate enough to get the story told.

Philosophy In The Desert
What did you love best about Journey to Ixtlan?
One of the best in the Don Juan/Carlos Castaneda series, in my opinion. Castaneda reviews the non-hallucinogenic plant events during his meetings with Don Juan in various Mexican locations. Don Juan lays out many advanced philosophical concepts and techniques relating to paths followed by seekers of enlightenment. Prepare to have your world views destroyed and expanded.
Any additional comments?
I enjoyed the reader's characterizations of Carlos and Don Juan. Carlos as an inquisitive student and Don Juan as a commanding mentor. His style is entertaining, without over doing anything. I truly hope that he will produce an audiobook of the fourth Castaneda book in the series, "Tales of Power."

Enjoy for the story or as a textbook on life!
What made the experience of listening to Journey to Ixtlan the most enjoyable?
This is my third Audible Castaneda book and I am hoping for more soon. I think following his journey in succession is key to understanding his experience. It seems that each book becomes more "mature" in its content.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Journey to Ixtlan?
I laughed out loud a great number of times when picturing Don Juan and Don Hernado responding to Carlos' inane questions, only to realize I would have asked the exact same question ... funny because it's true.
What does Luis Moreno bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Honestly I think Mr. Moreno's accent brings an air of authenticity to the story.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The last five minutes of the book summed up so much of what life is all about, I was moved to tears.
Any additional comments?
Don't get hung up on whether or not this is entirely factual. That is not important, suspend you disbelief and learn through the excellent story telling. Then decide for yourself. I struggled with some of Castaneda's experiences, but I prefer to take his word for it and understand that there is more out there that I have NOT experienced than what I have!

Please hire Luis to read all of Castaneda's books!
Where does Journey to Ixtlan rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Since '91 Castaneda has been my favorite author and Journey to Ixtlan my favorite book. So it goes without saying that I rank this as my all time favorite book - in any format.A close second would be The Power of Silence - wherein we finally find out how don Juan came to be a Man of Knowledge.
What did you like best about this story?
Man what a question. Where to begin? How about I just say that it has everything. Adventure. Humor. Suspense. Poignant Nostalgia - when we learn why Genaro can never return to Ixtlan. Above all it has a ring of authenticity few books that purport to impart wisdom have.
If you could only read two books that would point the way to a joyous life it would be this one and Eckart Tolle's A New Earth. Both are masterpieces in their own way. Tolle's book, it must be said, is more direct but I LOVE Castaneda's narrative story telling style of writing.
What about Luis Moreno’s performance did you like?
Luis does a great job of reading this story. His voice is perhaps a bit sharper than I'd like but that's picking nits. I'm sure I'm not alone in wishing that, if the rest of Castaneda's books are put here on Audible, Luis does the reading.You are going to do all of the books right? Right?
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The end part that recounts Genaro's encounter with an ally and how the world was different, but the same, afterward.
Any additional comments?
It bears repeating...PLEASE HIRE LUIS TO READ ALL OF CC's BOOKS.

I enjoyed it so much that I listen to twice
I had this audiobook on my wish list for over two years before I decided to buy it and I regret not doing so or should I say I’m glad I’ve now stopped not thinking about it? (You’ll get my point after you listen to the story)
I can’t wait to listen to more of his books

Living Life On The Edge
This book will help people to realise the need to understand that nothing is ever permanent in life and to learn to live their lives as if today was their last day.

What a Journey!
Well, having read the book at least eight times over the years, I was delighted when I saw it was in audio format recently. I listen to the book when there is quiet around (which I feel is a must) as you need all your concentration to fully absord the wonders which are presented to you. The use of an American/Latino reader -Luis Mareno- adds to the sense of reality of the piece. I will be moving on to part two shortly and have just purchased A Separate Reality parts 1 & 2 also! Happy Days!

Gripping
Outstanding. I have ordered the rest in the series as this one was so good. The narrator is as shown in the sample clip and after a little time getting used to his voice the book was a beauty. The pace is well read with sensible and natural emphasis. The price is steep so use a credit, but for such a long book and high recording quality (no background noise etc. ) I highly recommend it.
