The Power of Silence

By Carlos Castaneda

The Power of Silence is one of the quintessential Sorcerer / Shaman handbooks. In it Carlos Castaneda offers up some of the most powerful exercises and concepts on the adventure quest that is the game of life and living life. Castaneda’s vivid story telling, maps the freedom trail for any finder on the incredible journey to Knowledge. If implemented you may even discover and answer the freedom call.

Sorcery 101

Like all Castaneda books it revolves around the instruction of Don Juan, a Mexican Indian sorcerer seer. In this book Don Juan explains the concepts of awareness, intent and dreaming as the basics of sorcery, in other words Sorcery 101. It is filled with Don Juan’s usual irreverent humour as he shows Carlos the ways of the peaceful warrior soul.

The Learning Channel

We have used The Power of Silence many times on our courses in self-mastery and spiritual development. The two most powerful concepts in this book are:

The Trickery of the Spirit
How Spirit, or the Divine, is always attempting to wake us up. By wake up I mean wake up to our true Self, that which is hidden beneath our conditioned veneer. The part of you that knows that life is a divine comedy, a grand adventure quest. This aspect is continually prompting you to change, grow and embark on the journey of the sorcerer. It is the secret to the restlessness that we all feel.

The Moods of Stalking
How to handle the abstract concept of intent or will. This relates to the moods of stalking. This is about freeing up enough of your personal life force to start focusing on the life that you truly desire. Once you have access to more energy you are able to see, and tune into this magical moment that is right here, right Now.

For the Tropic of Freedom Books Finders Keepers:
If you are serious about your growth we strongly suggest reading this book. Even if you think you have read it before. Every time we read this book we perceive more, it is almost as if the book itself has changed.
