Hello ive found a collection of unbridged audiobooks by Carlos Castaneda. :thumbup:

For those who aint familiar with Carlos and his Don Juan Books here a breif intro....
Carlos Arana Castaneda (December 25, 1925 – April 27, 1998) was a Peruvian-American anthropologist and author.

Starting with The Teachings of Don Juan in 1968, Castaneda wrote a series of books that describe his alleged training in shamanism. The books, narrated in the first person, relate his supposed experiences under the tutelage of a Yaqui "Man of Knowledge" named Don Juan Matus. His 12 books have sold more than 8 million copies in 17 languages. Critics have suggested that they are works of fiction; supporters claim the books are either true or at least valuable works of philosophy and descriptions of practices which enable an increased awareness.

Castaneda withdrew from public view in 1973 to work further on his inner development, living in a large house with three women ("Fellow Travellers of Awareness") who were ready to cut their ties to family and changed their names. He founded Cleargreen, an organization that promoted tensegrity, purportedly a traditional Toltec regimen of spiritually powerful exercises.
[url=https://https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Castaneda][/url]

For the people who are familiar with these work's this is fantastic!

Cos at the time these books were wrote we never had home Pc's i-pods, mp3 players etc...
you can listen to them while you take a coach ride or just surfing the net, brilliant way to pass the time, & open a whole new world of awareness & perception.

The point aint about wether the books are fact or fiction, cos if your questioning the nature of reality then everything comes from a soruces (ie the universe) which is outside normal every perception, and the real lession is being able to take what info you need at that present moment in time, and using it to move futher forward, and be ready willing to discard it if nessecery for newer stuff.

Also it's somthing that even years later you can go back and still learn somthing new :cool:

There's also a few other Audiobooks that are by other authors one is called "The Secret of the Feathered Snake (Plumed Serpent)" is certainly an intresting sounding book title ;)

Here's the link Below

www.aquakeys.com/toltec/totec-total-freedom-books

Note: all full audiobook files are over 100Mb in size

I think these were the 1st 3 books in order and think they follow on from where the last one last off (your best check that)

01 - The Teachings of Don Juan - A Yaqui Way of Knowledge
02 - A Separate Reality - Further Conversations with Don Juan
03 - Journey to Ixtlan - The Lessons of Don Juan



If you download any of the books or have any probs, or thought's, etc, please post some feedback :thumbup:


Thank's & Take Care Everyone :sanctum:

Hey there run! Glad to see you posting. :)
This topic sounds interesting, but unfortunately the link is currently missing.
Form is merely a momentary manifestation of being, not a fixed reality.

History doesn't repeat itself, uninformed people repeat history.

To all progressive endeavors great or small, come unforeseen benefits on a scale larger than most give pause or contemplation of.

Nice one Runs, :cool:

Once this has been in general for a few days for people to catch it maybe you could prompt one of the mods and get them to move it to the recommended reading subforum, where it won't sink into the abyss as quickly plus it will be easier to find in the future. :)

Np Frog cheer's man :thumbup:

Hiya everyone just one thing bout these Audiobooks, i dont know how they have been done, (probly but some txt to speech program) but find the guys voice slow & crap basicly.

If your not comfortable either, download "VLC player" and play them in that, just one thing though, speed up the playback by one click.

I was listening to "Journey To Ixtlan" & find if a bit faster but, is a much better (bareable) listen, i don't know if they are all like that though.

Ok, UK.

Thank you all for your insightful input.

"The movement of my assemblage point, and the movement of the assemblage points of a sufficient number of warriors, can change the modality of the Earth; and that is what I am working towards."

The aquakeys.com site has moved to
www.great-grandma.com/aquakeys/toltec/totec-total-freedom-books

---

All of the audio, video, and text files are stored in publicly accessible folders starting with the top-most directory at
www.great-grandma.com/aquakeys/files/toltec/

The audio files, for example, are in the sub-folder "aud", and the sub-sub-folder "at", for example, is for Armando Torres.

To Download any of the files onto your computer:
RIGHT-mouse-click any of the files indexed in the folders, and in the drop-down menu that appears, if you use FireFox select "Save Link As..."; or if you use Internet Explorer select "Save Target As...".

The audio files were created with Ivona TTS (Text to speech) computer program.

The earlier books were created at speed minus-7, or -8, using a single Ivona version-1 voice (a single male or female voice per book); and at 32 kbps sound quality.

All of the more recently created files (and any future replacements of the older audio files) were done using version-2 voices (each book has both a male and female voice), and were done at speed minus-10; and at 24 kbps sound quality.

A setting of 16 kbps would, of course, result in even smaller file sizes, but back-ground hiss seemed to creep in at that sound quality level.

As to the choice of voice speed... um... better too slow that too fast?

---

Thank you very very much for your recommendation to use VLC media player as a way to change the playback speed. I just downloaded it, and the quality of the sound does Not suffer with a VLC player speed change. It is marvelous, in fact, compared to the marked loss of sound quality I suffered when changing the playback speed using Daum-PotPlayer media player.

---

VLC Media Player (Freeware):
Download - www.videolan.org/vlc

Adjusting speed slightly faster:
"Playback" >> "Speed" >> "Faster (fine)"

---

Also please note that Carlos Castaneda's seudo-apprentice Armando Torres had a new book out in 2010.

It is in a password protected site to prevent Google from indexing it, (the publisher Juan Yolilztli would be even less happy), but if you look carefully at the password-prompt window, you will see the Un and Pw that you need to type.

Shame that Don Juan was a completely fabricated character, and the stories equally so.

If it walks like a duck.....
But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma,
a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Saying that it's a shame is just a figure of speech where I am in the Country, so maybe we've got our wires crossed a little.

But bullshit is bullshit, however riveting.
