I was researching Castaneda yesterday, trying to find more interviews with him speaking and sharing golden kernels of knowledge that he has expounded on since the writings of his( then current ) books. This interview was in 1985. It truly paints the inside and human side of CC's personality and also the intentionality of his books with more explanation on DJ and Genero's hard to grasp teachings. I prefer hearing it straight from the writers mouth after the books are written out to help clarify the expressions and intentions of the written book. But we know book signings and lectures are not easily available today. So I search to find hidden value and meaning betwixt the words that CC had spoken outside the context of his books.
In this in depth interview, CC mentions his admiration of the German philosopher , mathematician ~Edmundo Husserl. CC was speaking to the interviewer of ... " bringing learning to discover and destroy the perceptive prejudice.Suspended judgment was Husserl contribution in the field of phenomenology.
What sustains our ordinary perception?? This lead me to believe that the Sorcerer's Expanation is an ongoing explanation until the bubble of perception has been burst one time. Is this like "within the twinkling of an eye" - the rupture of our bubble of perception?
Here is part of the interview with Castaneda from 1985
CC considers that phenomenology offers him the theoretical methodological framework to comprehend the teaching of DJ. For phenomenology, the act of knowing depends on intention and not on perception.
Perception always varies according to history, that is to say, according to the subject with knowledge acquired and immersed in a determined tradition. The most important rule of the phenomenological method is that of toward the same things.
* Personally here, I sense CC is expressing more follow-up on the continuum of the Sorcerer's' Explanation.
* The task with which DJ fulfilled me, he insisted, was that of breaking, little by little,the perceptive prejudices until arriving at a total rupture. (not rapture but close, lol) Rupture phenomenology suspends judgement and is limited to the description of pure intentional acts. So, for example, I construct the object "house". The phenomenological reference is minimal. The "intention" is what transforms reference into something concrete and singular.
Phenomenology, without a doubt, has, for CC, a simple methodological value. Husserl never transcended the theoretical and, as a consequence, he didn't touch the human being in his life in all his days. For CC, the most western man -the European man - has arrived to is the political man. This political man would be the epitome of our civilization. DJ, he said, with his teaching is opening the door for another much more interesting man: a man who still lives in a magical world or universe.
