You're chained to you reason ... Understanding is only a very small affair, so very small
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
A warrior lives by acting, not by thinking about acting, nor by thinking about what he will think when he has finished acting.
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
Heightened awareness is a mystery only for a reason.
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
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 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
Seek and see all the marvels around you. You will get tired of looking at yourself alone, and that fatigue will make you deaf and blind to everything else. - Don Juan
Carlos Castaneda
When a warrior learns to stop the internal dialogue, everything becomes possible the most far-fetched schemes become attainable.
Carlos Castaneda
For an instant I think I saw. I saw the loneliness of man as a gigantic wave which had been frozen in front of me, held back by the invisible wall of a metaphor.
Carlos Castaneda
Crows are not always available to give warning.
Carlos Castaneda
A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting.
Carlos Castaneda
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.
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
Hunting power is a very strange affair. There is no way to plan it ahead of time. That's what's exciting about it. A warrior proceeds as if he had a plan though, because he trusts his personal power. He knows for a fact that it will make him act in th emost appropriate fashion.
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
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
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
Intent is a force that exists in the universe. When sorcerers (those who live of the source) beckon to intent, it comes to them and sets up the path for attainment, which means that sorcerers always accomplish what they set out to do.
