More quotes by 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.

You are like you are, because you tell yourself that you are that way.
Carlos Castaneda
A warrior knows that he is only a man. His only regret is that his life is so short that he can't grab onto all the things he would like to. But for him, this is not an issue it's only a pity.

Personal history must be constantly renewed by telling parents, relatives, and friends everything one does. On the other hand, for the warrior who has no personal history, no explanations are needed nobody is angry or disillusioned with his acts. And above all, no one pins him down with their thoughts and their expectations.

The spirit listens only when the speaker speaks in gestures. And gestures do not mean signs or body movements, but acts of true abandon, acts of largesse, of humor. As a gesture to the spirit, warriors bring out the best of themselves and silently offer it to the abstract.

One can say that the nagual accounts for creativity. The nagual is the only part of us that can create.
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 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
Self-importance requires spending most of one's life offended by something or someone.
Carlos Castaneda
We hardly ever realize that we can cut anything out of our lives, anytime, in the blink of an eye.
Carlos Castaneda
We have to balance the lineality of the known universe with the nonlineality of the unknown universe.
Carlos Castaneda
A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war: wide-awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance. Going to knowledge or going to war in any other manner is a mistake, and whoever makes it might never live to regret it
Carlos Castaneda
A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting.
