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.

More quotes by Carlos Castaneda
A warrior considers himself already dead, so there is nothing to lose. The worst has already happened to him, therefore he's clear and calm judging him by his acts or by his words, one would never suspect that he has witnessed everything.
Carlos Castaneda
Only as a warrior can one survive the path of knowledge.

...one should never turn to one's left when facing the nagual.

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.

... 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.

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 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
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
When you need an answer, look over your left shoulder and ask your death.
Carlos Castaneda
Whenever a warrior decides to do something, he must go all the way, but he must take responsibility for what he does. No matter what he does, he must know first why he is doing it, and then he must proceed with his actions without having doubts or remorse about them.
Carlos Castaneda
It doesn't matter how one was brought up. What determines the way one does anything is personal power.
Carlos Castaneda
When a warrior learns to stop the internal dialogue, everything becomes possible the most far-fetched schemes become attainable.
Carlos Castaneda
A man of knowledge chooses a path with a heart and follows it and then he looks and rejoices and laughs and then he sees and knows.
Carlos Castaneda
Crows are not always available to give warning.
Carlos Castaneda
You are like you are, because you tell yourself that you are that way.
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
Warriors do not win victories by beating their heads against walls, but by overtaking the walls. Warriors jump over walls they don't demolish them.
Carlos Castaneda
We have to balance the lineality of the known universe with the nonlineality of the unknown universe.

You're chained to you reason ... Understanding is only a very small affair, so very small

Things don't change, only the way you look at them.
