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.

More quotes by 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
When nothing is for sure, we remain alert, perennially on our toes. It is more exciting not to know which bush the rabbit is hiding behind than to behave as though we knew everything.
Carlos Castaneda
The most effective way to live is as a warrior. A warrior may worry and think before making any decision, but once he makes it, he goes his way, free from worries or thoughts there will be a million other decisions still awaiting him. That's the warrior's way.
Carlos Castaneda
Self importance is man's greatest enemy.
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
Heightened awareness is a mystery only for a reason.
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
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.
Carlos Castaneda
Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path if you feel you should not follow, you must not stay with it under any circumstances.
Carlos Castaneda
Only as a warrior can one survive the path of knowledge.
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
Life in itself is sufficient, self-explanatory and complete.
Carlos Castaneda
The greatest flaw of human beings is to remain glued to the inventory of reason. Reason doesn't deal with man as energy. Reason deals with instruments that create energy, but it has never seriously occurred to reason that we are better than instruments: we are organisms that create energy. We are bubbles of energy.
Carlos Castaneda
Learn to see, and then you'll know that there is no end to the new worlds of our vision.
Carlos Castaneda
Things don't change. You change your way of looking, that's all
Carlos Castaneda
Intent is what sends a shaman through a wall, through space, to infinity.
Carlos Castaneda
If your tendency is to make sense out of chaos, start chaos.
Carlos Castaneda
A warrior never worries about his fear.
Carlos Castaneda
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
