A Yaqui way of knowledge.

The teachings of don Juan is the story of a remarkable journey: the first awesome steps on the road to becoming a "man of knowledge" -- the road that continues with A Separate Reality and Journey to Ixtlan.

"For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel, looking, looking, breathlessly." -- Don Juan

Hilft durch schwere Zeiten

Reviewed in Germany on 2 June 2017

Verified Purchase

Ich finde die Weisheiten des Don Juan wirklich sehr inspirierend und auch wenn sich nicht alles mit dem alltäglichen Leben direkt in Verbindung setzen lässt, so sind die grundlegenden Botschaften in diesem Buch wirklich sehr allgemein gültig und auf die gesamte Menschheit und jede Ära anwendbar.
Vor allem in schwierigen Zeiten tut es gut, sich wieder auf das wirklich Wichtige im Leben zu besinnen und alles Überflüssige aus dem Kopf zu verbannen. Das gelingt wirklich gut, wenn man sich die Lehren des Don Juan zu Herzen nimmt und auf sich wirken lässt.

Die englische Version ist ganz gut, besser die spanische lesen, oder die italienische!

Castaneda gets smacked by Don Juan!

Reviewed in Germany on 2 June 2000

I always love when I find out about a new man of wisdom... To me Don Juan's teachings point to the moon of Zen. Reading about the way of the warrior something arises in you. You become more ready to handle the truth and realize that your journey on this Earth experiencing the fountain of Life is more important than the respect that you sought before.
Don Juan also uses "power plants" to facilitate Castaneda's awareness of the land beyond the mind. It would be foolish to write this off as purely drug use. Our "modern" society aside, these plants of the Earth were often used for spiritual realization. It isn't the end, but can open a door...
This book is best understood in context of the other books in the series which go into greater detail on the essential teaching.

Please avoid the writings of Carlos Castaneda.

Reviewed in Germany on 10 May 2000

Mr. Castaneda used a vast amount of halucinogens (Datura, mushrooms, and Peyote) to name only three various halucinogens he used.
There is no need to to take halucinogens to participate in Shamanic journeying.
Here are four ways that are just as valid, and more importantly SAFER.
Drumming (listening to a real drummer or drumming tape), Fasting, meditation, or thirst. All three will move the brain into the Shamanic state of consciousness and open the doorways without adding toxins to your system.
Your body is a temple, treat it as such.

Castaneda's books are hoaxes

Reviewed in Germany on 1 September 1998

When I first read this book, I completely swallowed it and became obsessed with the idea of this separate reality and way of knowledge described by Castaneda.
However, a modicum of skeptical thinking marks this and the rest of Castaneda's books as shameless hoaxes. And not very good ones, even... Comparing his different books it's easy to find lots of inconsistencies. They, of course, can be rationalized by the true believer by saying that Castaneda's own perception of this reality was evolving, but I'd rather use Occam's Razor and say that they signal a sloppily-constructed hoax by Castaneda. Unfortunately, even a sloppy hoax is enough to fool lots of people and make lots of money.
If you are thinking about buying this book, please do yourself a favor and read Carl Sagan's "The Demon-Haunted World" instead. After that, reconsider.

An excellent piece, whether fact or fiction.

Reviewed in Germany on 18 October 1998

I have read widely on psychology and philosophy and see so many elements of different academics, writers, religious groups etc reflected by Castaneda's writing. His work encourages strengthening of elements of the self including discipline and will. It also gives insight into a culture so unlike ours. His work certainly has the potential to broaden one's mind, as it has mine. Tales of Power should not be missed.

Reviewed in Germany on 29 December 1999

For anyone interested in spiritual guidance that is far from ordinary, but warmly uplifting, should read this book. Castaneda is a wonderful author who thoroughly explains his visits to see the sorceror don Juan Matas. During these visits the reader comes to many spiritual realizations along with Castaneda, who narrates the story. This book is a delightful read which I recommend to anyone who likes to read. period

Reviewed in Germany on 30 June 1999

This is one of the best books I have ever read. Focusing on the Yaqui Native American magick and the journey on the path to become man of knowledge. Unlike books of Scott Cunningham and Raymond Buckland this book unfolds and reveals the knowledge and the teachings of don Juan through a first person narrative. A definite plus.

A Very Insightful and Interesting Book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 September 2018

Verified Purchase

Carlos Casteneda was a brave, brave man. He left behind a strange legacy and this book is the first in a series whereby Carlos met up with the enigmatic Don Juan. It's a remarkable piece of work. Although the book is divided into two sections - the teachings and the appendix, which I avoided as I was only interested in The Teachings section.
This is a beautifully written book and is deeply fascinating. Considering that fifty or so years after it was first published, it manages to be both insightful and massively interesting. Don Juan was a teacher who attempts to guide Carlos through the impressive intake of various hallucigenics made from plant extracts, which the search for is brilliantly detailed.
These days this book is considered to be a work of fiction, but what it is suggesting is more in the realms of Spanish philosophy. It is really decided by the reader whether or not it is true but it is extremely detailed in it's findings and I found myself being amazed most of the time. It is both cleverly written and beautifully orchestrated and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a book that will expand your mind and give you an incredible sense of wonder.

A Hell of a Journey!

Though I can safely say that this is mostly the work of fiction, this is a very enjoyable read which had me hooked. It details the adventure and experience of Carlos Castenada as he meets Don Juan (rumoured to actually be his wife) and his trips after consuming cactus. A very spiritual book! Recommended!

Learning to Travel on a Path with Heart

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 February 2016

Verified Purchase

I bought this book after reading it in Jack Kornfield's book 'A path with heart', I wasn't disappointed. The book follows the experiences of Carlos Castaneda as he learns the yaqui teachings of Don Juan to become a Man of Knowledge. The experiences he has while taking the various drugs to enter 'Non-ordinary reality' were fantastical, written with such detail it's easy to imagine yourself in the situation along with them. The conversations between the teacher and apprentice are equally wise and thought provoking. As Don Juan mentions more than once in his book, "For me there is only the travelling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worth-while challenge is to traverse it's full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly. It's not hard to see why this book has never been out of print even after all these years.

Excellent read 10 out of 10

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 August 2013

Verified Purchase

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.
