In "Power of Silence," Carlos Castaneda explores the concept of stalking, describing it as a skillful manipulation of behavior for defined objectives. Stalking involves deviating from typical human actions to create a significant impact on one’s existence. It highlights how breaking away from everyday routines can lead to striking experiences that resonate deeply within us.

Castaneda emphasizes that this deviation from the norm is what sorcerers pursue, as it yields cumulative effects on their consciousness and overall being. By intentionally changing their behaviors, they tap into an extraordinary state of awareness that transcends ordinary perception, opening up new possibilities for growth and exploration.
