Dwelling upon the self too much produces terrible fatigue. A man in that position is deaf and blind to everything else. The fatigue itself makes him cease to see the marvels all around.

The internal dialogue is what grounds people in the daily world. The world is such and such or so and so, only because we talk to ourselves about its being such and such and so and so. The passageway into the world of shamans opens up after the warrior has learned to shut off his internal dialogue

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
Things are only real after one has learned to agree on their realness. What took place this evening, for instance, cannot possibly be real to you, because no one could agree with you about it. 'Do you mean that you didn't see what happened?'. Of course I did. But I don't count. I am the one who's lying to you, remember?
Carlos Castaneda

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.

Carlos Castaneda
Burn your bridges every 2 years.
Carlos Castaneda
Feeling important makes one heavy, clumsy and vain. To be a warrior one needs to be light and fluid.
Carlos Castaneda
A hunter that is worth his salt does not catch game because he sets his traps, or because he knows the hunting routines of his prey, but because he himself has no routines. This is his advantage. He is not at all like the animals he is after, fixed by heavy routines and predictable quirks he is free, fluid, unpredictable
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
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
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.
