Inner Silence as the key to the power of attention- by Castaneda
#26
I have come to think of internal dialogue not only as the chit chat in the mind. I pretty much never have any chit chat in my mind and this is not inner silence it is just being awake. I think inner dialogue includes everything in the describable universe, everything that has a name. My world is full of names, computer, guitar, me, music, everything that is happening around me is being described and I believe inner silence will be the cessation of the description of the world.

Inner silence works from the moment you begin to accrue it. What the old sorcerers were after was the final dramatic, end result of reaching that individual threshold of silence. Some very talented practitioners need only a few minutes of silence to reach that coveted goal. Others, less talented, need long periods of silence, perhaps more than one hour of quietude, before they reach the desired result. The desired result is what the old sorcerers called "stopping the world", the moment when everything around us ceases to be what it's always been. This is the moment when sorcerers return to the TRUE nature of man. The old sorcerers always called it "total freedom" ----Don Juan (Carlos Castanada)

Good quote Littlepaw and i agree with you the labeling process of reality is a sort of internal dialogue, but IMO it is not what Don Juan point to.

It relates to stopping the world, when all labels is removed and you just is.

Have you found a way/method to silence your inner dialogue?

Mastering of Attention and Shifting the AP 

" 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."

Serloco you also write:
"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."


This is real good. It leaves me in wonder though. It seems so simple
How do you hunt attention?
Imagine a position of awareness... hmmmm okay I think I can handle that and also to make the shift happen. It is a very straight forward way is it not? Like I want to shift the TV to channel 6 and press the button on the remote. 
How would you suggest that one picks up this practice? 


Many questions ))))

It is quite simple, and is as easy or as difficult as you make it. When you examine your attention and the intent to change it you can see that within it is an expectation, a blue-print that shows when you will achieve what you have intended. Meaning that if you perceive it as happening later down the road, or beginning immediately then that is the result you are intending. It is because "time is the essence of attention'', which can also be said that time and everything in it is also the essence of your awareness, which with practice can be seen. I have grown into a position that has developed my attention as a filler, or injector of time, that is void potential before my attention focuses into it, filling it with the essence of my attention, my expectations.

I like the quote you made that says attention connects as an energy transfer. When I first realized this I sat in my room and focused on a pretty girl from town i had just met sending her my sexual attraction. The next day i went to her house and we made love and she said to me very clearly and with intense eyes "think about me some more". Later i began to see that this attention can also move other people's awareness by controlling the energy/awareness/judgements/expectations that transfer through the connected attention. Same applies for objects and everything else.

The more I stalked my attention i began to actually perceive it inside of myself and to some degrees in my visual perception. I could see my attention focusing to bring up memories and could see the memory system within me. Its impossible to explain in words however. It developed into my visual perceptions because i activated and stalked the concept that says awareness equals perception, including visual perception. I began to see that when my attention focused on an object the object would flash and vibrate slightly when my attention locked into it. My attention then merged with the values of the object or person, and any ideas i have about it change it into that form. It turns into the position that can visually see your thoughts manifesting reality around you. Which is quite amazing to see thought energy in visual form. I have managed to see many people's and spirit's conscious energy as a manifested energy that i can actually see with my eyes. Yes, it may be hard to fathom but we have the capability to perceive thoughts directly with our eyes. Now if you want to see your attention connect to an object try to realize that your attention is connecting to it and forming it into your perception form the awareness you possess about the object or person. Then if you see that awareness generates perception then you can begin to see the energy directly.

With the right awareness your attention can penetrate time itself and focus into past and future moments just by focusing your attention into that direction. You can even time travel into the past(with only your attention traveling) and move someones awareness as they are writing a book and have your awareness manifest into the book. So you write the book as you read it. Very cool. This is all because you are controlling your attention and empowering it with the awareness and intent you wish to. This is possible because of the awareness that sees your attention as a direct gateway to its focus point, and since attention is the essence of time then your attention becomes a fuel for what you are seeing/manifesting.

Hunting attention is just watching it with the intent to see and learn about it. Also the art of hunting for power in your attention and applying it into your attention. For example most people do not notice this awareness because it comes from seeing, and the awareness of judgements and expectations moving your reality, however if you pay close attention to what is inside of yourself you will find that there is a small 'voice/consciousness' inside of yourself that knows the answers to your questions already. So when you approach someone with a question if you listen as you prethink the action you can 'intuit' or see the consciousness they possess and the awareness they possess thus seeing the future before it occurs. It is seeing, and it exists already in your attention but has not been properly developed and formed yet, and so you will not see it until you begin to focus your attention on it, and intend it to form. It can then be manipulated in many ways and many different positions of awareness. The same applies for 'setting up dreaming' which is a practice i use even in the waking world, by focusing and directing my attention as the essence of time, the filler and placer of my attention into formation. It takes practice but by controlling your attention and awareness you can place everything in your world as you want it to be. First you have to see that the world is not fixated anymore but fluid, even void, then you can begin to fill this space with your attention and awareness, your values.

I hope this has helped to answer some of your questions.

silence slips you into sensation, sensation is the backdrop to awareness..it is not feeling..it is the experience of be-coming...
