The Power of Silence: Further Lessons of Don Juan
About This Book
In this late volume, don Juan explains the crucial concept of the nagual's abstract core — the sequences of abstract ideas that every sorcerer must understand in order to make the journey to total freedom. The book is organized around "abstract cores" — impersonal forces that move the warrior's life in specific directions — and argues that the goal of the warrior's path is ultimately to be touched by the spirit directly, without intermediary, and without the ego's interference.
What You'll Learn
The "power of silence" is the capacity to act directly from intent without the mediation of internal dialogue or self-reflection — the warrior's highest achievement. Abstract cores are not ideas but direct transmissions of impersonal forces that the sorcerer learns to be moved by rather than to analyse. The nagual's greatest act is to point the spirit toward the apprentice in a way that cannot be deflected by the ego's defenses.
