> LA FORCE DU SILENCE, de Carlos Castaneda (Gallimard coll. « Témoins », 268 pages). — Revoilà l’éternel guerrier-aprenti qui suit son « nagual » Don Juan sur les sentiers de la connaissance. Épreuves, états seconds, longs dialogues et autres péripéties parsèment l’enseignement du maître dans l’art, mal nommé, de la sorcellerie. L’art du traqueur, la maîtrise de l’intention, la maîtrise de la conscience, tout cela conduit à l'intuition directe des « noyaux abstraits » tellement difficile à saisir. Castaneda et ses disciples, ses nombreux lecteurs, ont encore beaucoup à apprendre de Don Juan et seront étonnés, encore une fois des détours sinueux de la connaissance.

> Carlos Castaneda. – L’herbe du diable ou la petite fumée, Paris - Le Soleil Noir, 1972 ; Voir, Paris, Gallimard, 1973 ; Le voyage à Ixtlan, Paris, Gallimard, 1974 ; Histoires de pouvoir, Paris, Gallimard, 1978 ; Le second anneau de pouvoir, Paris, Gallimard, 1979 ; Le don de l’Aigle, Paris, Gallimard, 1982 ; Le feu du dedans, Paris, Gallimard, 1984 ; LA FORCE DU SILENCE, Paris, Gallimard, 1988. — En 1960, Carlos Castaneda, jeune anthropologue de l’Université de Los Angeles, spécialisé dans l’étude des plantes hallucinogènes, rencontre au Mexique un sorcier yaqui nommé Don Juan. Ce dernier, après avoir testé Carlos et mesuré son « inflexible résolution », qualité indispensable et fondamentale pour devenir « apprenti », accepte de lui transmettre sa science et de faire de lui un « homme de connaissance ». Commencent alors de longues années d’apprentissage, auprès de Don Juan et d’autres sorciers, apprentissage souvent ardu et douloureux qui prend parfois l’allure d’une aventure terrible et sans retour, où l’auteur, mené aux confins de lui-même, vit une transformation radicale de son être. Des relations extrêmement fortes s’installent entre Carlos et Don Juan ainsi que les autres sorciers et apprentis qu’il rencontre. Quel que soit son niveau de lecture et de compréhension, le lecteur est frappé par le caractère extraordinaire de ce maître sorcier qu’est Don Juan, par son étonnante pédagogie et par l’apothéose de cette relation maître-disciple où le maître, après avoir participé à la transformation radicale du disciple lui confère le titre de maître, assurant ainsi sa filiation.
Renverser les schémas connus, brûler tous les masques qui servent nos conditionnements afin de devenir « un homme de connaissance », voilà ce qu’enseigne le sorcier à l’anthropologue. Devenir « un homme de connaissance », c’est d’abord développer une écoute totale du corps, savoir accorder celui-ci aux tonalités du monde extérieur, apprendre à percevoir avec le corps tout entier, libérer le mental de cette surcharge d’activité que l’homme d’aujourd’hui s’impose et par là-même, chercher la vérité et non le savoir. Au cours de cette initiation, il apprend aussi à développer un nouveau rapport avec la nature ; celle-ci considérée comme « consciente » doit être traitée « impeccablement » de même que la création toute entière. Mieux encore, l’apprenti doit chercher à intérioriser le cosmos, à l’incorporer totalement jusqu’à créer un sentiment total d’unité avec le monde extérieur et pouvoir incarner l’esprit de chacun des éléments du cosmos. Autre thème récurrent de ces ouvrages : celui de la peur. Le « guerrier » cher à Don Juan doit cultiver en lui la force de poursuivre son apprentissage jusqu’au bout sans défaillir et surmonter avec succès toutes les épreuves les plus terrifiantes qui lui sont proposées pour extirper de lui ce fléau. Carlos est mis tout d’abord en situation d’expérimenter la peur afin d’évaluer soigneusement les sensations qu’elle génère et apprendre ensuite à la dominer en lui faisant face. La dominer aussi en se familiarisant avec la mort, et faire de celle-ci une alliée, un guide : « Il existe un étrange et brûlant bonheur dans le fait d’agir en sachant que cet acte peut tout aussi bien être le dernier de sa vie. Je te demande de reconsidérer la tienne et d’accomplir tes actions en pensant à cela ».

Imagine being able to listen in while a shaman of any tradition teaches his apprentice through practical experiences that shake the very foundation of the student's world view. Few of us will ever have that chance in today's high-tech fast-paced world. This book is entirely dialogue recorded by the student along with his impressions of what happened next. At times whimsical, this book can shake your world view as well when you contemplate the truths within and practice your discernment from afar. ( )

This is the first book I’ve read by Castaneda in the last many, many years. I’m afraid I’m not good at reading books in the correct order, and this applies with Castaneda’s 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. “Sorcerers go into that other world to get energy power, solutions to … problems, or to face the unimaginable.”

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 “an instrument to push the apprentice deep into heightened awareness”.

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 “monstrous man” and that he needed to wear women’s 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 “inorganic being”, 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’s 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’s 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 – ruthlessness, cunning, patience and sweetness. Stalking is “special behaviour – 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.”

You can use the idea of your death to stalk yourself. Death is our challenger – 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 “The teachings of Don Juan” and the other early books before tackling this one. ( )

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!!!! ( )
