Man of Knowledge

 

The first useful book by Carlos Castaneda is entitled Voir. It is subtitled Les enseignements d’un sorcier yaqui. I would like to return here to the wisdom of this sorcerer. Listening to what he teaches Carlos, we discover the requirement of a sorcerer’s life, nagual in addition.

We also discover the greatness of an implacable man, detached from everything like the Mat of the tarot, but on the path that has heart because such is his good pleasure.

 

Nagual’s Antics

From the start, Juan Matus is very strong. Carlos recounts it in his very first book, L’herbe du diable et la petite fumée, whose reading is neither indispensable nor recommendable: it risks to pervert the spirit of the warrior of light. The first time that Carlos comes to see him at home, the old wizard performs a series of antics and high-flying over the Mexican ramada and the roof of his little house.

Matus the Matois wanted to show Carlos what a man of knowledge really is. Nothing less than a powerful sorcerer. He does this by erasing his personal history. It becomes smooth as a polished pebble, so that it no longer offers the slightest grip to the beings of the world, he who is no longer part of it. “The man of knowledge has no honour, no dignity, no family, no name, no country, he has only one life to live. And his only connection with his fellow men is his controlled madness.” (source)Carlos Castaneda, See, the teachings of a yaqui sorcerer
