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

More quotes by Carlos Castaneda
The warrior: silent in his struggle, undetainable because he has nothing to lose, functional and efficacious because he has everything to gain.
Carlos Castaneda
Burn your bridges every 2 years.
Carlos Castaneda
Will is what can make you succeed when your thoughts tell you that you're defeated.
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
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
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
The shadows in the early morning don't tell much. The shadows rest at that time. So it's useless to gaze very early in the day. Around six in the morning the shadows wake up, and they are best around five in the afternoon. Then they are fully awake.
Carlos Castaneda
... a warrior knows that he cannot change, and yet he makes it his business to try to change, even though he knows that he won't be able to. That's the only advantage a warrior has over the average man. The warrior is never disappointed when he fails to change.
Carlos Castaneda
The secret is not in what you do to yourself but rather in what you don't do.
Carlos Castaneda
The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.
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
One ,must have something to die for in order to have something to live for
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
Within these premises, the only thing one can be is an impeccable mediator. One is not the player in this cosmic match of chess, one is simply a pawn on the chessboard. What decides everything is a conscious impersonal energy that sorcerers call intent or the Spirit.
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
Things don't change, only the way you look at them.
Carlos Castaneda
Inner silence works from the moment you begin to accrue it. What the old sorcerers were after was the final dramatic, end result of reaching that individual threshold of silence.
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
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
