Journey to Ixtlan: The Lessons of Don Juan: 3 (Teachings of Don Juan)

Very insightful into how one should live their life, it gives a different view of the world and challenges the ideas and beliefs that we have be taught whilst also providing simple methods to changing your thinking and behaviours with how we interact with the world on a day to day basis. I really enjoy reading these series of books, they go far deeper to answering the questions about our purpose than anything else that I have ever read.

Fascinatingly mindbending!

Brilliant story & interesting to read about another way of life.

Bought this for a young friend. Read it myself years ago along with the other Casteneda books. You either 'love reading Casteneda or hate him'? I loved reading him. It was an education with regard to understanding the ritualistic and ceremonial nature of shamanism. I did not end up believing everything I read - far from it. But in a sense that was the point. I was embarked on trying to sort illusion from reality, and I believe his writings were instrumental in that regard. They also helped - in a roundabout way, explain some of the phenomena I experienced in altered states. In that regard I do not and cannot recommend taking drugs, but in a historical context many if not most civilizations have accomodated their use and invented ceremonies and rituals and care provisions to ensure greater safety for users, or should I say 'seekers', for in most instances they were used in the pursuit of truth and knowledge rather than taken for pleasure. I do not believe Casteneda's writings are the answer, but they are now classic literature and in reading them one will at least become conversant with one perspective, like one language among the many. Hope this helps?

this was interesting, got a bit 'dry' in places but an enjoyable read. Can see why it has become a classic - definately one of the books you read, then reflect upon later on

Excellent book and hardback as well for durability. It is complimentary to The Teachings Of Don Juan A Yaqui Way Of Knowledge. RDR

Good read, having read his earlier works about 20 years ago and studied Buddhism in the meantime I found similarities albeit different terminology

I know this is a classic and many people recommended it to me, but I found the writing repetitive and dull! No real light bulb moments at all.

Ul libro dotato di una potenza enorme. Cambierà il modo in cui vedere e vivere la vita. Da leggere con attenzione, vera!

Die Bücher von CC sind immer sehr kontrovers diskutiert worden. Von Stimmen, die behaupten, es handle sich um reine Fiktion, bis hin zu glühenden Anhängern der Lehre des Don Juan lassen sich viele Spielarten finden. Das vorliegende Buch ist mein persönliches Lieblingsbuch, da es sich um Erlebnisse dreht, die fast durchgängig nachzuvollziehen sind und zudem mit einer Reihe von Strategien aufwartet, die auch das tägliche Leben in unserer Welt positiv beeinflussen können. Praktisch bei der Kindle- Edition ist, dass durch das integrierte Wörterbuch, unbekannte Vokabel leicht nachgeschlagen werden können.

Independientemente de si el autor vivió realmente lo relatado, es una narración muy interesante desde un punto de vista psicológico y antropológico. Puede aportar nuevos puntos de vista de lo que llamamos "realidad" a todos aquellos interesados en el conocimiento de la condición humana.
