The Silent Knowledge is a book by the author Carlos Castaneda, published by Gaia Ediciones. In this work, Castaneda introduces us to the enigma of the spirit that is the mastery of intent. The author describes the different facets of an instruction method used by Don Juan Matus, a Mexican Indian sorcerer, to teach how to understand the world in terms of a group of premises that he called witchcraft. The book explores the increased perception and silent knowledge that is achieved by cleaning our link with the intent, the immeasurable force that makes us perceive.
Carlos Castaneda was a Peruvian-American writer, trained as an anthropologist. Starting in 1968, Castaneda published a series of books that describe alleged training in shamanism that he received under the tutelage of a Yaqui "Man of Knowledge" named Don Juan Matus. While Castaneda's work was accepted as factual by many when the books were first published, the character of Don Juan and the training he described is now generally considered to be fabricated and to have little relation to the actual cultural practices of the Yaqui. Castaneda's early writings featuring Don Juan were bestsellers with the general public, and are considered to be a significant influence on neoshamanism and the New Age movement more broadly.
