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.

Great Story reminds me of my childhood

No I didn't grow up with a Yaqui tribe. LOL - My uncle used to really be into Carlos Castaneda and when I was young we would go for walks in the woods and he would share some of the wisdom and teachings from the books. I can't help but remember those times when I go through the works now it brings back great memories. I really like the Narrator for these books and I think I will end up getting them all.

The power of Luis’ narration. Added a depth to Carlos’ work and widened the narrative perfectly.

Not much to really say. Part two of the epic chronicle by Castaneda. An amazing deepening voyage on the eternal journey of understanding the unseen world and the trials of a warrior to truly “see”.

Universal Knowledge is Power...

The knowledge Don Juan shares with Carlos is beyond the normal society's terms of practical. It is a way to become eternally conscious and truly see... I feel proudly blessed to have come across this information and know it's wisdom will endure eternity.

Not for everyone, but everyone could learn from it

What did you love best about A Separate Reality?

Luis Moreno is a very good, engrossing narrator for the Castaneda books. Of course, it can't hurt that I am totally enthralled by the story and experiences portrayed.

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

Yes, more laughter than tears but there were experiences at both extremes.

Any additional comments?

This is a very powerful story and while I disagree, some extreme religious readers may find too much issue with the perspective portrayed to get the real meaning and truth behind the story.
