Fire from Within by Carlos Castaneda
The Fire From Within
Back from the abyss and without don Juan, Carlos Castaneda is faced
with the staggering effort of recovering, on his own, don Juans teachings.
In doing so, he understands what don Juan and his cohorts were really
doing to him: They were not teaching me sorcery, but how to master
three aspects of an ancient knowledge they possessed: awareness,
stalking, and intent. And they were not sorcerers; they were seers. This
work deals with the mastery of awareness and with the realization of a
new cycle of seers, warriors of total freedom, ... such masters of
awareness, stalking, and intent that they are not caught by death, like the
rest of mortal men, but choose the moment and the way of their departure
from this world. At that moment they are consumed by a fire from within
and vanish from the face of the earth, free, as if they had never existed.
I much enjoy reading the reviews here on Amazon, theyre so
enlightening... even entertaining. The insight we can derive from the
opinions of others. Even when a reviewer writes a 1-star review of an
excellent book or other product, we still learn. For example, when a
reviewer lambasts Castanedas The Fire From Within as Satan worship, we
learn a bit more about our fellow humans. We begin to see why folks often
do not appreciate great literature -- they seem to expect everything to be
spelled out in clear, unequivocal terms with nothing left to imagination --
exactly the antithesis of great art (or literature). The genius of great art is
often seen in that which is not overtly expressed. Such as the famous
painting where a nude female form is depicted by a simple curved line on a
stark white canvas. The viewer is drawn into the work, having to supply the
missing portion from inside themselves, thereby great multiplying the
impact of the work. Castaneda is masterful in this regard.
