Commentary from CC: The Coldness of Infinity

THE POWER OF SILENCE is an intellectual review of the thoughts ofthe shamans of ancient Mexico. In their most abstract guise. As Iworked alone on the book, I was contaminated by the mood of thosemen, by their desire to know more in a quasi-rational way. Florindaexplained that in the end, those shamans had become extremely coldand detached. Nothing warm existed for them anymore. They were setin their quest; their coldness as men was an effort to match thecoldness of infinity. They had succeeded in changing their humaneyes to match the cold eyes of the unknown.
