More quotes by Carlos Castaneda

Man has a dark side, yes, and it is called stupidity.

It doesn't matter how one was brought up. What determines the way one does anything is personal power.
Carlos Castaneda
The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.

The path to knowledge is a forced one. In order to learn, we must be pushed. On the path of knowledge we are always fighting something, avoiding something, preparing for something and that something is always inexplicable, greater and more powerful than us.
Carlos Castaneda
And so you're afraid of the emptiness of your friend's life. But there's no emptiness in the life of a man of knowledge, I tell you. Everything is filled to the brim and everything is equal.
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
A warrior lives by acting, not by thinking about acting, nor by thinking about what he will think when he has finished acting.

Things don't change. You change your way of looking, that's all
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
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.

...to tune the spirit when someone is trampling on you is called control
Carlos Castaneda
The fact of the matter is that many children see. . . . Most of those who see are considered to be oddballs and every effort is made to correct them.
Carlos Castaneda
Things don't change, only the way you look at them.
Carlos Castaneda
... when confronted with unusual life situations... A warrior acts as if nothing had ever happened, because he doesn't believe in anything, yet he accepts everything at its face value.
Carlos Castaneda
We hardly ever realize that we can cut anything out of our lives, anytime, in the blink of an eye.
Carlos Castaneda
There are lots of things a warrior can do at a certain time which he couldn't do years before. Those things themselves did not change what changed was his idea of himself.
Carlos Castaneda
Seeing energy as it flows is an imperious need on the path of knowledge. Ultimately, all the effort of sorcerers is guided to that end. It is not enough for a warrior to know that the universe is energy he has to verify it for himself.
