Don Juan and Carlos warned us about Silent Knowledge, and how easy it is to misinterpret the "knowledge" you find.
As a direct experience, it's very much like being Yoda gazing into space to find out why Anakin is in pain. Or Yoda searching to see what's currently happening in the galaxy.
But like Luke, you can also project your double into the visions. The problem then is the same problem everyone has on entering a dream directly from awake. You forget why you did it. And so you don't learn as much as if you could retain the rationality you had, while viewing from outside.
But there's another way to view Silent Knowledge. As a spectator, tossing objects at the players.
Since they're magical objects you manufacture just so you can thrown them in, they're most likely pieces of your energy body. And so you can "experience" what the object did, and never lose your rationality or purpose.
Just imagine what Carlos got himself into, with Silent Knowledge! What you see here is mere beginner's level.

I love these illustrations it really helps convey some of the concepts.
Just keep in mind, someone among us really did that.
Many times for most of the things you see in here.
Enough to know, that's what anyone can learn to do.
It gets so mixed up in Silent Knowledge that Carlos used it to enter dreaming, so he could keep up with don Juan and meet him far away.
Athena was reminding me of that just a while ago in a comment elsewhere:

In the Active Side of Infinity book, in the chapter " the Breaking point" , Don Juan out of the blue appears in the doorstep of Carlos house in L.A. A house that seems he didn't know the location of. Asks Carlos to dissolve completely the business enterprise he had, within one hour and when he finished to go and find him, in a specific place in Mexico.
It took Carlos more than an hour to finish his business and then occurred to him that he had failed bc there is no way he could physically make it . Thankfully he went into Dreaming and found Don Juan waiting for him on their meeting point.

We'll be able to do that in the not too distant future.
And without having to lay down, the way Carlos seems to have done in this case.
I have no idea what happens to your body when you just walk off into a vision like that.
Butt it sure seems like you do it physically.
Or to paraphrase Carlos and the witches: Shirt, pants and boots.
My question is, do you have on the same boots you were wearing back where you came from?
I never remember to check that.
Cholita can change outfits at will. She can be standing there in front of me wearing white, then decide black would look better. And the next time you look back at her, she's wearing black.
Sorry the former comment should have been a reply to this one.
Forgive me. I'm new here.
Yes I appreciate that someone has experienced this. I would not imply otherwise.
I just really appreciate these illustrations.
