“Inner silence works from the moment you begin to accrue it. The desired result is what the old sorcerers called stopping the world, the moment when everything around us ceases to be what it’s been.
It is this moment when man the slave becomes man the free being, capable of feats of perception that defy our linear imagination.”
– Carlos Castaneda
YES! I remember devouring Carlos’ books back in the 80’s and 90’s. Part of me understood them perfectly–the other part didn’t understand at all. He speaks a language that arises from the inner silence, a language that bypasses the logical brain and directly imprints our inner knowing. Two friends followed this path. Friendship with them defied any categories. They drove me nuts. Pondering the idea of inner silence “accruing”. Anyway, was just sitting in inner silence when your spirit appeared. Hello, Elisa. How’s it going?

I saw something, when I saw those books… What was it? The same thing I now see. And also the same what, I do-not… See.
