I realized that I only know of the zen way - zazen (meditation) to silence the voice in the head.
What other way are there to reach Inner Silence?
Does Don Juan give instruction on how to?
I used my ability to perceive the position of awareness you are reaching for and then allowing yourself to move there. When I imagined a position of awareness where my conscious awareness was no longer translated into words I had set my intent to achieve it. At first I began having realizations that came as a stream of impulses that I would make into words, but later I began to see just the consciousness and not the words, and so they stopped. I see that the focus of my attention indeed contains intent that connects to this source of consciousness, and by focusing on to it it forms the consciousness you are intending. In my stalking I discovered that this outer source of consciousness contains total memory, and total knowledge and awareness. It can be aligned to in many different ways as well, to align to how you perceive it to be, making into impulses, bursts, flame, streams of steady consciousness, even flavors. Its funny because it can become anything and is already all things. By controlling your attention and intent you can become the consciousness of animals, different people, aliens, or even move your consciousness into a formless position. In one position all it takes is the focus of attention to an animal to become the exact position of the animal. It wasn't the silence that brought this awareness to me it was from stalking the connection that exists between all things and my inner awareness and attention. I use silence to make old awareness silent, inactive, while activating new awareness in its place, however I can still think of this action while it is happening, being aware of the process I am intending, which is not silence but awareness. It is not the silence itself that deactivates my old awareness, it is the awareness itself that realizes it can move to somewhere new, and the intent that is set to do so in this awareness. You can place power in silence and make it do all kinds of things, yes, but that is still your awareness of silence and the intent within it. I would have to say that the real gateway to power of the attention is simply to hunt it, observe it, intend to know about it, and give it whatever power you can while realizing always that you can shift your power to any position.
