More quotes by Carlos Castaneda
Dreaming is the vehicle that brings dreamers to this world, the emissary said, and everything sorcerers know about dreaming was taught to them by us. Our world is connected to yours by a door called dreams. We know how to go through that door, but men don't. They have to learn it.
Carlos Castaneda
When one has nothing to lose, one becomes courageous. We are timid only when there is something we can still cling to.
Carlos Castaneda
Dwelling upon the self too much produces terrible fatigue. A man in that position is deaf and blind to everything else. The fatigue itself makes him cease to see the marvels all around.
Carlos Castaneda
If a warrior is to succeed at anything, the success must come gently, with a great deal of effort but with no stress or obsession.
Carlos Castaneda
Nothing in this world is a gift. Whatever must be learned must be learned the hard way.
Carlos Castaneda
Learn to see, and then you'll know that there is no end to the new worlds of our vision.

All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. However, a path without a heart is never enjoyable. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy - it does not make a warrior work at liking it it makes for a joyful journey as long as a man follows it, he is one with it.
Carlos Castaneda
It takes all the time and all the energy we have to conquer the idiocy in us
Carlos Castaneda
The sorcerer's description of the world is perceivable. But our insistence on holding on to our standard version of reality renders us almost deaf and blind to it.
Carlos Castaneda
The body must be perfection before the will is a functioning unit
Carlos Castaneda
It is best to erase all personal history because that would make us free from the encumbering thoughts of other people
Carlos Castaneda
Man lives only to learn. And if he learns it is because it is the nature of his lot, for good or bad.
Carlos Castaneda
Our senses perceive the way they do because a specific feature of our awareness forces them to do so...because we learn what to perceive.
Carlos Castaneda
Heightened awareness is a mystery only for a reason.
Carlos Castaneda
Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path if you feel you should not follow, you must not stay with it under any circumstances.
Carlos Castaneda
Power rests on the kind of knowledge one holds. What is the sense of knowing things that are useless?
Carlos Castaneda
A warrior, or any man for that matter, cannot possibly wish he were somewhere else a warrior because he lives by challenge, an ordinary man because he doesn't know where his death is going to find him.
Carlos Castaneda
There is a flaw with words, they always force us to feel enlightened, but when we turn around to face the world they always fail us and we end up facing the world as we always have, without enlightenment
Carlos Castaneda
The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge while an ordinary man takes everything as a blessing or a curse.
Carlos Castaneda
The greatest flaw of human beings is to remain glued to the inventory of reason. Reason doesn't deal with man as energy. Reason deals with instruments that create energy, but it has never seriously occurred to reason that we are better than instruments: we are organisms that create energy. We are bubbles of energy.
