We don't need anyone to teach us sorcery, because there is really nothing to learn. What we need is a teacher to convince us that there is incalculable power at our fingertips. What a strange paradox!
In "Power of Silence," Carlos Castaneda explores the idea that true mastery of sorcery does not come from traditional learning but from recognizing the innate power already within us. He suggests that what is essential is not the acquisition of knowledge, but rather a guide who can help us realize our potential and the profound capabilities that lie in our hands.
This perspective highlights a paradox: while we often seek to learn and accumulate skills, the most important step may be awakening to what we already possess. Castaneda's insight encourages self-discovery and the understanding that the barriers to power often exist in our mind rather than in the absence of ability or knowledge.
