Synopsis :
Once again Carlos Castaneda accounts, with even more clarity, the workings
of the sorcerers' world. In Power of Silence, Castaneda outlines the abstract
cores of sorcery: The Manifestations of the Spirit--the energetic fact that
everyone is a conduit for the spirit but that we are too busy with the affairs
of everyday life to notice; The Knock of the Spirit--the attempts the spirit
takes to get each of us to notice it; The Trickery of the Spirit--the gyrations
through which the spirit moves to hold our interest; and The Descent of
the Spirit--when the spirit cuts the chains of our self-reflection. Through
don Juan's masterful stories, Castaneda realizes the importance of inner
silence: the position of the assemblage point away from self-reflection,
the point where the universe makes itself known to man.
Reviews:
A Reader from Syracuse, NY, USA
, 09/06/97, Excellent book peppered with hilarious stories.
Castaneda's best work after "Fire from within" and maybe "Art
of dreaming." This is a must read. The art of teaching through stalking
is beautifully revealed. Great book even if you have never read Castaneda
before. Stories about Julian made me roll on the floor laughing.
