The Power of Silence is one of Carlos Castaneda’s most influential later works, continuing the teachings of the enigmatic Yaqui sorcerer don Juan Matus. In this volume, Castaneda explores “stories of power” and the art of seeing—states of heightened perception that challenge ordinary reality and invite the reader into a world of non-ordinary awareness, intent, and inner discipline.
Blending anthropology, spiritual philosophy, and visionary narrative, Castaneda presents a series of encounters and lessons that guide the seeker toward a deeper understanding of silence as a gateway to knowledge. For readers drawn to shamanism, altered states of consciousness, and the limits of human perception, this book occupies a central place in Castaneda’s controversial and enduring body of work.
This first edition, first printing is especially desirable for collectors and aficionados of metaphysical literature, New Age classics, and late–20th century spiritual writing.
