Journey to Ixtlan

The Lessons of Don Juan

In Journey to Ixtlan, author Carlos Castaneda continues his spiritual apprenticeship under the Yaqui Indian sorcerer don Juan Matus. The narrative shifts focus away from psychotropic plants toward stopping the internal dialogue and perceiving alternative realities through rigorous discipline and personal transformation. Castaneda learns to become a hunter and a warrior, mastering new ways of relating to the world around him. This classic work presents a fundamental turning point in his teachings and exploration of non-ordinary reality.
