More quotes by Carlos Castaneda
Self importance is man's greatest enemy.
Carlos Castaneda
When you need an answer, look over your left shoulder and ask your death.
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
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
In the universe there is an immeasurable, indescribable force which shamens call intent, and absolutely everything that exists in the entire cosmos is attached to intent by a connecting link.
Carlos Castaneda
Feeling important makes one heavy, clumsy and vain. To be a warrior one needs to be light and fluid.
Carlos Castaneda
The fact of the matter is that many children see. . . . Most of those who see are considered to be oddballs and every effort is made to correct them.
Carlos Castaneda
A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting... Thus a man of knowledge sweats and puffs and if one looks at him he is just like an ordinary man, except that the folly of his life is under his control.
Carlos Castaneda
Do you know at this very moment you are surrounded by eternity? And do you know that you can use that eternity if you so desire?
Carlos Castaneda
We chose whether to be warriors or to be ordinary.
Carlos Castaneda
A warrior doesn't know remorse for anything he has done, because to isolate one's acts as being mean, or ugly, or evil is to place an unwarranted importance on the self.
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
The things shamans deal with are extremely practical. They break down parameters of normal historical reality. Magical passes are just one aspect of that.
Carlos Castaneda
It doesn't matter how one was brought up. What determines the way one does anything is personal power.
Carlos Castaneda
The only thing that is real is the being in you that is going to die.
Carlos Castaneda
The dying sun will glow on you without burning, as it has done today. The wind will be soft and mellow and your hilltop will tremble. As you reach the end of your dance you will look at the sun, for you will never see it again in waking or in dreaming, and then your death will point to the south. To the vastness.
Carlos Castaneda
Man has a dark side, yes, and it is called stupidity.
Carlos Castaneda
Only the idea of death makes a warrior sufficiently detached so that he is capable of abandoning himself to anything. He knows his death is stalking him and won't give him time to cling to anything so he tries, without craving, all of everything.
Carlos Castaneda
Fright never injures anyone. What injures the spirit is having someone always on your back, beating you, telling you what to do and what not to do
Carlos Castaneda
Beware of those who weep with realization, for they have realized nothing.
Carlos Castaneda
