I'm serious asking this. I really want worldly wealth and power, among with spiritual ones. How to go about that, using Castaneda's work? I think Don Juan was a very wealthy man himself.

It's fairly basic. What do you think that you could do if you don't have an internal dialogue constantly making you second-guess yourself and tearing yourself apart with useless thoughts? I finished on the Dean's List in Accounting thanks to sorcery, I failed university before. I know what I am aiming for professionally (and coincidentally I learned accounting because of Don Juan specifically).
Such an inspiring answer, thank you. So you just pick the aim and do the thing without ever thinking or second guessing?
Obviously not all the time, but, yeah, a lot of the time I don't second-guess myself. No superheroes here, unfortunately, and all of the work is done alone, no lineage to yank your ass up from your seat anymore.
That's wonderful. Do you have any recommendations about starting to learn & do the forcing silence thing?
Read the books, let yourself be hooked by intent. Stop all of your other "spiritual" practices (this isn't a spiritual practice). If you need guidance about what is involved with silence, there is an in-depth wiki here as well as the student chat.
I made around $8M in sales in a single year, once I was in Castaneda's private classes using silence and "seeing".
We received a letter from Nintendo telling us we were in violation of their new patent, and had to stop selling video games we had designed for that machine.
A company I started, once the Chinese asked me if it could be done without being licensed by Japan.
We seemed to be doomed. To make the plastic cartridge case, you had to fit into the machine.
And Nintendo had gotten a patent on putting a big bevel on the bottom of the case. With a bevel on the bottom of the machine. So that a square cartridge couldn't fit.
If you fit, they figured you were in violation of the patent.
But while forcing silence that evening, a new shape for the cartridge materialized right in front of my eyes, fully visible, and a voice said, "Look you idiot! See how the cartridge is thinner, and will ride right on top of the bevel?"
It rotated around so I could see it from more angles.
I had no idea if it would work, because if it did it was a mistake on Nintendo's part. They should have moved the connector where the circuit board slides in, below the top of the bevel.
But they didn't.
And I sold $8M in cartridges the next year.
I've done more things like that using sorcery.
Which is acceptable in Taiwan, where I have an office.
I'm known as the "sorcerer engineer" over there.
They have Daoism, so it's not a negative connotation as it would be here.
I had another one of those "seeing" an engineering solution last week.
This time, if I get a chance to build it, it's worth billions of dollars.
But I'm just hoping to finish a talking Princess Teddy bear this year.
With an AI that can take voice input and speak inside, run by a $20 custom chip.
The princess part is the idea of the Taiwanese owner. His granddaughter wanted that to be the first talking toy.
I'll see if I can get away with making it goth. But probably not.
What zone can that type of stuff happen in? I can imagine it would also be useful for my line of work (accounting).
You can get SK previews in any zone.
Even the green zone if you sustain deeper silence than meditation produces.
I'd say for example, when I got the one about video games I could get to the deep red zone. As evidenced by being able to drive my arm chair right through the wall, and down the street.
But my assemblage point hadn't switched sides on the body yet.
Ahhh very fun! I suppose it can kick in when I have pressing concerns that prevent me from practicing sorcery.
I suppose it is along the same lines that I literally did a 100% switch in perspective. During my accounting exams, I only did necessary tasks, studying, and gazing. The last time I went to university I got drunk all the time, and frittered away any talent I had. I don't have any real explanation for how I did so well besides sorcery practices, and people seemed shocked how talented I was (even chartered accountants from their home countries were shocked how quickly I was grasping everything from a baseline of zero).
My taxation exam (which the class average is consistently 50%) the studying I did was preparing the approved cheat sheet only and switching off my internal dialogue. After I finished preparing my cheat sheet, I just gazed until the day of the exam, and then the day of, I shut down my internal dialogue hard enough that I was pouring sweat out and wrote it in half an hour. I walked out and got 85% and half the class failed their final exam. The teacher even asked if I was alright and I said "never better".
Thank you so much for this!
Thanks for the reply Dan. Very interesting stuff. Doesn't really answer my question well though
Maybe this post will clear a few things up for you:

Thank you for your thoughtful answer & reply. I'm not here asking for a magic spell to manifest unlimited money (if that exists let me know haha..) - just like you said, it's mostly about how I can increase my luck, focus, meet the people I need to meet, stuff like that.
Reading the link you shared now.
It's not really our thing. You're asking about "practical magic".
Sorcery can't be learned if practical magic is your focus, unless you have a previous lineage of sorcerers keeping track of you.
So Pablito from the books learned to have a third arm, the little sisters learned to run on walls, and other apprentices were taught to shapeshift.
But they were being taught in another state of consciousness closer to a dream, which they couldn't recall until later. Using "The Nagual's Blow" to push them there. And if they didn't work hard in their normal state, someone used magic on them to scare them into being serious.
Such as a gift woven basket with teeth trying to bite Pablito. Or demon animals chasing them at night.
Seeking practical magic without an actual sorcerer/witch teacher to monitor your behavior, pretty much dooms you to never learn anything but showbiz.
Because focusing your attention on improving your situation in this world, is precisely the opposite of what it takes to move your assemblage point.
You'd do better to become nearly homeless out of poverty.
You aren't from the middle east are you?
We've slowly been concluding from the new people who flow through here (9000 over the last 5 years), that childhood exposure to Sufism dooms people to never learn any real magic. Because they're seriously mistrained on what the real thing is like. In Sufism, magic is fixed and more like a technology or object you "own" once you find it, and it always works, and is always spectacular.
The real thing isn't a product of a single reality held in place by billions of people's awareness.
It's off in the nether regions.
I had the same question. Sounds very specific to that part of the world.
OPs greed will not allow him to see past blue line as his mind ìs screaming "ME, ME, ME". The funny thing is, tho he still has the same chance as everybody else to learn as we all start with some kind of grounding desires, some are hidden, some are very clear like OPs. It's easier to deal with exposed desires rather than lying to yourself about not wanting money.
The force opens up much more than money, and after some time of discovering it, money seems to be too small of a by-product to be excited about.
The lineages were wealthy because the force intended so, and let's face it, the more spirit you got, the more you can move people and more money you can accumulate. The spirit is just so attractive and compelling to deal with.
Very rarely, when you get to meet people with some kind of personal power, you can feel some kind of force with that person. The result is that person is capable of doing things that seem like others cant. For example: close deals, convince other people to do staff or just attract more business in general.
Carlos could have been a billioner, but that would be a shame compared to what he was doing instead.
Money desire is a dirty link to intent.
Once you have access to endless permutations of reality, and continuous waking dreaming floating in the air, with a known ability to visit any of those places, money just doesn't seem very important.
As long as you have a place to live and food to eat.
You can't expect people to understand that however. It sounds like it's just another religious tale designed to steal your money.
There's pretty much no chance this poster will ever learn sorcery.
Unless they're young and a few decades go by.
Hey, I'm young actually. I disagree with the middle east thing, maybe I should've asked a more clear question:
I'm not necessarily looking for practical magic where I can do a quick spell or whatever and start printing money.. but actually want to become a person who is able to generate wealth and abundance for himself & others. And the reason is, I feel like that would enable me to feel more safe, secure and powerful in my daily life.
Also I do not appreciate you saying things like "no way they'll ever learn sorcery", etc. No need for such words. I'm an honest seeker and trying to understand things. Without any pretension or trickery I kindly asked a simple question - and thank you for the discussion, I'm learning from all of you. Let's keep the line straight here.
Go away.
Please?...
I've been told it's not nice to tell people to go away.
So maybe if I add "please kind sir"?
And you didn't answer the question about being from the middle east, so you seem a bit cagey to me.
Not someone who wants to be helpful.
We've had nothing but trouble with people from the middle east.
And Thailand and China too.
Thailand, because they were raised in a very oppressive, delusional form of religious Buddhism and just can't let go of pretending Buddhism has magic also (it doesn't), so that they can learn for real.
The Chinese, because it's socially acceptable there to pretend you have magic, so you can earn money that way.
So the Chinese will skip doing any work, and just figure out how to pretend as well as possible.
We have a Taiwanese who's doing well, but Taiwan is like the american version of China, with Japanese hazing influences.
(I have an office in New Taipei.)
Interesting take, I figured out having money was more of a stalking thing, displacing the AP to a place where you are wealthy and keeping it there. In an interview Taisha spoke about the « business women » persona she had created and embodied via stalking.
Also a lot of things about manifestation stuff reminds me of stalking in our sorcery, Neville Goddard even described having a surreal experience at some point where everything stopped around him, birds stopped mid flight, people around him stopped eating, something falling on the ground would stop mid distance etc.. and that he wouldn’t mention it often because of how difficult it was for people to believe him, this instantly reminded me of Stopping the world so I’m pretty sure this is all related
You can always write a book about your amazing experiences
Castaneda made a bunch of money, so you would have to follow his example broadly; emphasize in your actions the achievement of power over others at all costs, especially moral and social costs. Do whatever you can to force, convince, or persuade others to give you money. Spend all your time visualizing this outcome, wishing and praying in various forms, for the power to acquire money. Lie in the dark and bend your mind in the direction of all input and output reflecting your desire. This is the power of his brand of shamanic sorcery.
