About this audiobook
shaking the very foundations of our belief in what is “natural” and “logical.”
His landscape is full of terrors and mysterious forces, as sharply etched as a flash of lightning on the deserts and
mountains where don Juan takes him to pursue the sorcerer’s knowledge—the knowledge that it is the Eagle that gives
us, at our births, a spark of awareness, that it expects to reclaim at the end of our lives and which the sorcerer, through
his discipline, fights to retain. Castaneda describes how don Juan and his party left this world—“the warriors of don
Juan’s party had caught me for an eternal instant, before they vanished into the total light, before the Eagle let them
go through”—and how he, himself, upon witnessing such a sight, jumped into the abyss.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was he 6th of his books if I counted correctly. I am not going to make a full review until I have an opportunity to reread it. Like many others we went through a period where Castaneda affected our thinking and perhaps even our lives at some point in time. He made an important contribution to anthropology, mysticism, literature and spirituality.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Scanned The Teachings of Don Juan and The Eagle's Gift. Some of the stories held my interest but it is too "far out" to merit serious reading.
