In it, Carlos Castaneda describes the lessons, the omens, the exercises of the will and body, the arduous trials and tests, the simple yet mysterious demonstrations, the extraordinary visions and experiences by which don Juan, his mentor and friend, prepares him for the task of perceiving things as they are, instead of describing them by the words, conventions and standards of conventional, a priori ideas and language. Here, in the high mountains and in the bright arid desert, Castaneda reaches for power in a series of startling encounters with the unknown--a confrontation with death and the past in the form of an albino falcon, with the twilight wind, with a flesh-and-blood mountain lion, with a mountain fog--and learns the techniques, the concentration, the compassion of the hunter, the man who is "without routines, free, fluid." 628463 book 1972 Journey to Ixtlan total:1089|5:8|4:15|3:11|2:2|1:0| 1089 4241 1406 89 5 2 false false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 01 22:56:30 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 01 22:57:28 -0700 2008
