Millions of readers worldwide have treasured the visionary brilliance of Carlos Castaneda, who first explore the world of the Yaqui Indian sorcerer in The Teachings of don Juan. Now, at last, don Juan returns in The Power of Silence -- wise, infuriating, capable or working miracles and playing practical jokes, but always seeking the wisdom of the warrior.
The Power of Silence is Castaneda's most astonishing book to date -- a brilliant flash of knowledge that illuminates the far reaches of the human mind. Through don Juan's mesmerizing stories, the true meaning of sorcery and magic is finally revealed. Honed in the desert of Sonora, the visions of don Juan give us the vital secrets of belief and self-realization that are transcendental and valid for us all. It is Castaneda's unique genius to show us that all wisdom, strength, and power lie within ourselves -- unleashed with marvelous energy and imaginative force in the teachings of don Juan -- and in the writings of his famous pupil, Carlos Castaneda

I am going to give the same review to all the Carlos Castaneda books I read in that series, simply because they are all outstanding. I was lucky to come across Castaneda very early on my magickal path. My spells and rituals have always relied on the power of intent, and I have found no better education on how to focus your intent than in this series of books. Back then (1994) they were classifed as nonfiction. Lately, they say they are fiction. All I know is much of what is in these books works. And having been a Wiccan Faery Witch now for 13 years I know much of what is real to us is fiction to those not walking a magickal path. These are life-changing books you will never forget, and their teachings still influence my life today. Can't get any better than that!

"Power of Silence" challenges the targeted reader to take action to consolidate their energy, develop their awareness, and improve their ability to handle intent. The lessons here are priceless.

It is a good book . the Benefactor gives his energy to the disciple to increase his understanding and the disciple has personal relationship with and loves Benefactor . This shows how necessary benefactor is and how" the only clear thinking is no thinking" I tells us that true knowledge is apprehended not by thinking but in silent knowing.

Re-reading in conjunction with a book on ZPF and Quantum Mechanics (The Field by Lynne McTaggart)...they go together quite well, like the right wine with dinner...
Read
June 19, 2011Personally I have no concern with whether these books are fiction or non-fiction, I found them to be good friends. Some very enjoyable tricks learned in the choices I makes when interacting with my environment.

The Power of Silence. I've read all his books, but this is my favorite. Speaks the most to method for achieving enlightenment--figuratively speaking, of course. :)
May 10, 2014
This is the first book I鈥檝e read by Castaneda in the last many, many years. I鈥檓 afraid I鈥檓 not good at reading books in the correct order, and this applies with Castaneda鈥檚 books too. It would perhaps have been easier to begin with his first books.
In this book we are instructed, among other things, about the art of stalking and the mastery of intent.
We learn about a point of brilliance called the assemblage point on the surface of the luminous ball surrounding our body. When this is moved from its usual position, it brightens up new energy fields, making them perceivable. This perception is known as seeing. Movement of the assemblage point enables perception of an entirely different world. 鈥淪orcerers go into that other world to get energy power, solutions to 鈥� problems, or to face the unimaginable.鈥�
Intent is what causes us to perceive. The aim of sorcerers is to reach a state of total awareness.
We are given the dramatic story of how the nagual Elias meets Julian, saves his life and takes him as his apprentice. Julian becomes the benefactor of Don Juan.
Don Juan accompanies Castaneda on long treks and in particular to a special cave which was created as 鈥渁n instrument to push the apprentice deep into heightened awareness鈥�.
Don Juan tells about a time years ago when he was kept prisoner by his benefactor, tricked into believing that the house belonged to a 鈥渕onstrous man鈥� and that he needed to wear women鈥檚 clothes in order to escape. Eventually he did manage to do so but kept being pursued by the monstrous man until he realized it was a figment of his imagination (actually, an 鈥渋norganic being鈥�, a formless energy field).
Don Juan keeps banging Castaneda on the back, thus enabling him to move his assemblage point and enter a heightened state of awareness, in which state he clearly understands everything. However, later, he may have forgotten not only his understandings, but everything that happened. (Don Juan states at one point that striking C鈥檚 back was actually more a trick to trap his attention than a bone fide maneuver to manipulate his perception.)
We need to intend the movement of our assemblage point. We want it to reach the place of no pity, which is the site of ruthlessness. When this happens the eyes of the sorcerer begin to shine.
Don Juan frequently bursts out laughing when Carlos opens his mouth, just as Don Juan鈥檚 benefactor Julian continually weeps profusely when together with Don Juan (which he does to hide his laughter).
We learn about the art of stalking and its four moods 鈥� ruthlessness, cunning, patience and sweetness. Stalking is 鈥渟pecial behaviour 鈥� it is secretive, furtive, deceptive behaviour designed to deliver a jolt. And, when you stalk yourself you jolt yourself using your own behaviour in a ruthless, cunning way.鈥�
You can use the idea of your death to stalk yourself. Death is our challenger 鈥� the only worthy opponent we have.
I found comprehension of all the presented information to be extremely challenging. Carlos himself found the material challenging/incomprehensible. This is because it is a totally different sort of information than that we are used to understanding with the logical left part of the brain.
But the book is well-written, fascinating, engrossing and highly entertaining, and I recommend it highly, although it may be preferable to begin by reading 鈥淭he teachings of Don Juan鈥� and the other early books before tackling this one.
In this book we are instructed, among other things, about the art of stalking and the mastery of intent.
We learn about a point of brilliance called the assemblage point on the surface of the luminous ball surrounding our body. When this is moved from its usual position, it brightens up new energy fields, making them perceivable. This perception is known as seeing. Movement of the assemblage point enables perception of an entirely different world. 鈥淪orcerers go into that other world to get energy power, solutions to 鈥� problems, or to face the unimaginable.鈥�
Intent is what causes us to perceive. The aim of sorcerers is to reach a state of total awareness.
We are given the dramatic story of how the nagual Elias meets Julian, saves his life and takes him as his apprentice. Julian becomes the benefactor of Don Juan.
Don Juan accompanies Castaneda on long treks and in particular to a special cave which was created as 鈥渁n instrument to push the apprentice deep into heightened awareness鈥�.
Don Juan tells about a time years ago when he was kept prisoner by his benefactor, tricked into believing that the house belonged to a 鈥渕onstrous man鈥� and that he needed to wear women鈥檚 clothes in order to escape. Eventually he did manage to do so but kept being pursued by the monstrous man until he realized it was a figment of his imagination (actually, an 鈥渋norganic being鈥�, a formless energy field).
Don Juan keeps banging Castaneda on the back, thus enabling him to move his assemblage point and enter a heightened state of awareness, in which state he clearly understands everything. However, later, he may have forgotten not only his understandings, but everything that happened. (Don Juan states at one point that striking C鈥檚 back was actually more a trick to trap his attention than a bone fide maneuver to manipulate his perception.)
We need to intend the movement of our assemblage point. We want it to reach the place of no pity, which is the site of ruthlessness. When this happens the eyes of the sorcerer begin to shine.
Don Juan frequently bursts out laughing when Carlos opens his mouth, just as Don Juan鈥檚 benefactor Julian continually weeps profusely when together with Don Juan (which he does to hide his laughter).
We learn about the art of stalking and its four moods 鈥� ruthlessness, cunning, patience and sweetness. Stalking is 鈥渟pecial behaviour 鈥� it is secretive, furtive, deceptive behaviour designed to deliver a jolt. And, when you stalk yourself you jolt yourself using your own behaviour in a ruthless, cunning way.鈥�
You can use the idea of your death to stalk yourself. Death is our challenger 鈥� the only worthy opponent we have.

This book covers the importance of perception, how to control one鈥檚 perception by shifting the 鈥渁ssemblage point,鈥� and lessons in understanding intent and silent knowledge. It is some rather abstract ideas, but I didn鈥檛 have any trouble following the concepts, even though I read this book out of order. My only complaint is that it鈥檚 a little skinny and doesn鈥檛 feel complete.

By the time I read this 20 years had elapsed since reading A Yacqui Way of Knowledge. I read every Castaneda since, and though each follows the same man's life, each reveals more for as Carlos moves forward, he integrates more and more of those previous experiences. A cynic might say this is a clever way to sell books. I continue to read Castaneda because I continue to get value from it.

This was my favourite Carlos Castaneda book. It presents the ideas of Intent and stalking yourself very clearly, both concepts I feel are important tools in living a meaningful life regardless of your belief and life purpose.

The title is the key. Although there is far more to the tales of power than silence alone. This is my favorite of Castaneda's works. Pure zen, quiet, and energetic.

Carlos Castaneda didn't understand Don Juan Matus but Don Juan understood everything and that's what matters.

December 18, 2023I really enjoyed this one.
This book will be one of my favorite Carlos Castaneda books.
It is surreal, hilarious and yet I can connect with it in a real sense.

No sab铆a qu茅 esperar de este libro, y al final result贸 mucho mejor no esperar absolutamente nada incre铆ble, porque me agarr贸 con la guardia baja desde sus primeras l铆neas. Es tan sencillo como complejo; tan lleno de ense帽anzas como ataques a la raz贸n, al pensamiento cr铆tico y al ser humano com煤n y corriente.
Una gran obra de Castaneda para leer una y otra vez, que resumir茅 en la frase que marc贸 para m铆 la importancia de la historia: 鈥溌ui茅n eres t煤 y tu pinche racionalidad para poner cadenas al pensamiento!鈥�

I have read this book many times and love it more each time. Castaneda is always a breath of fresh air.

This is perhaps my favorite book in the series but I think it necessary to read all of them to fully comprehend what he's writing about.

July 24, 2011This is one that I have brand new shiny copy that I bet money I've never read.

Another box of books has been reopened for cleaning, sorting, and reevaluation and lo and behold, many of the collected works of Carlos Castaneda are part of the contents.
Many years have gone but I remember this author and his works vividly. [Now don't get any ideas as to an allusion I may or may not be making] At some point I stopped purchasing more in the series and put them away. There's a 'blur' factor as I recall that happens with these stories of the metaphysical and magical journeys of learning (spelling of your choice for majic). Thus I finally put them down after a time. There's a new series of works by authors/students in the same genre. These are a continuation of the anthropological journey that Castaneda undertook to learn of his heritage and a way of life that existed if only in a shadow of the original form.
This generic commentary is going to be applied to all the writings of CC as a review until a rereading decision is made. I don't own all the books by Castaneda though I've read all his books through the mid 1980's. A couple more I have copies of in this collection but I bet I never read them.
Each of these books will have this introduction bracketed and italicized when I add a more specific commentary regarding the individual entry.
An early footnote. Much of the fascination with fantastical dragon imagery is rooted in the first two or three of these works. Just thought you should know.

This was the only book after the first four by Castaneda that appealed to me. The dense and interrelated concepts woven into metaphors with RAM hungry thinking required to try and comprehend drove the point home that dedicated practice to the point of a lifestyle change is the least effort required to even begin to expect benefits from these teachings.
Back to dedicated practice as the only way to growth... .
I found the writings of -especially and very useful in terms of making what were Castaneda's take on these teachings, a practicable path. If you did or thought you ought to have gotten value from castaneda's works -or even those of subsequent Toltec authors, these works provide the framework and practices.

Despite its progress on the "way of the warrior" that have earned the prestigious title of "nagual", Castaneda remains an eternal disciple of Don Juan face who tirelessly pursues his teaching and trying to initiate his pupil concepts increasingly sophisticated and concise at a time. That is, the element of mystery which remains attached to the apprentice, the "abstract cores," these truths that do not pass through words and are part of a "silent knowledge" that leaves tackle by direct intuition. They are part of the "spirit" of the "intent" and are only revealed at the end dune perfect asceticism. Such is the price to pay to approach the "abstract", this mysterious area where the reasoning must yield to pure reason, and where the speech ends, giving way to silence the "true" knowledge.

Castaneda was a graduate student studying Anthropology and was doing his thesis on Mexican Shaman and their use of regional plants and herbs to induce psychotropic effects in an attempt to cure people of various illnesses. Castaneda starts off with a scientist view, as a skeptic and later is blown away by what happens to him, which then becomes his life long pursuits. If you plan on reading these books, start with the Yaqui Way of Life, which is the first book and be prepared to be engrossed in Don Juan's teachings.

Did you find your spot within your egg? Thought not. But this work begins to finish the necessary work Castaneda took on. Don Juan knew that as his form of imersion into that 'other' reality, his sorcery, was dying out, perhaps it was enough to call Castaneda to himself to vivdly keep his method and wisdom alive through his take-him-through-it amanuensis.

A very enlightening read. I know as with Castaneda's other books it has expanded my philisophical, and physical understandings of the universe. The lessons I've taken from this volume have already started to deeply penetrate my daily perceptions. In some cases I doubt my psyche will ever fully rid itself of those corners and depths of understanding.

All books of Carlos Castaneda are very important to me. He (and his Don Juan), Vadim Zeland - writer from Russia, quantum physicist and Alexey Bachev - an unusual psychologist from Bulgaria, protagonist of my book Life Can Be a Miracle have shaped my way of thinking, perceiving, experiencing the reality. Very grateful for showing me the miraculous way of living!!!!

April 5, 2014One of the most fascinating looks into another culture's belief system about our place in the universe that I've ever read. All the ones after this keep getting better and better. An incredible mentorship and friendship between the author and his Yaqui native shaman mentor.
