More quotes by Carlos Castaneda
Once it has learned to dream the double, the self arrives at this weird crossroad and a moment comes when one realizes that it is the double who dreams the self.
Carlos Castaneda
...to tune the spirit when someone is trampling on you is called control
Carlos Castaneda
Once a man worries, he clings to anything out of desperation and once he clings he is bound to get exhausted or to exhaust whomever or whatever he is clinging to. A warrior-hunter, on the other hand, knows he will lure game into his traps over and over again, so he doesn't worry.
Carlos Castaneda
Crows are not always available to give warning.
Carlos Castaneda
A warrior chooses a path with heart, any path with heart, and follows it and then he rejoices and laughs. He knows because he sees that his life will be over altogether too soon. He sees that nothing is more important than anything else.
Carlos Castaneda
The fate of all of us here has been to know that we are prisoners of power. No one knows why us in particular, but what a great fortune!
Carlos Castaneda
A warrior seeks to act rather than talk.
Carlos Castaneda
Never take a path that has no heart in it. You can't lose if your heart is in your work, but you can't win if your heart is not in it.
Carlos Castaneda
To compare Tensegrity with yoga or t'ai chi is not possible. It has a different origin and a different purpose. The origin is shamanic, the purpose is shamanic.
Carlos Castaneda
The only thing we all have in common is that we play tricks in order to force ourselves to abandon the quest. The counter-measure is to persist in spite of all the barriers and disappointments.
Carlos Castaneda
... everything in the world is a force, a pull or a push. In order for us to be pushed or pulled we need to be like a sail, like a kite in the wind. But if we have a hole in the middle of our luminosity, the force goes through it and never acts upon us.
Carlos Castaneda
The secret is not in what you do to yourself but rather in what you don't do.
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
Beware of those who weep with realization, for they have realized nothing.
Carlos Castaneda
Burn your bridges every 2 years.
Carlos Castaneda
A warrior never worries about his fear.
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
There are lots of things a warrior can do at a certain time which he couldn't do years before. Those things themselves did not change what changed was his idea of himself.
Carlos Castaneda
I'm never angry at anybody! No human being can do anything important enough for that. You get angry at people when you feel that their acts are important. I don't feel that way any longer.
Carlos Castaneda
My benefactor used to say the seeds are the 'sober head' -- the only part that could fortify the heart of man.
