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
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
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.

The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.
Carlos Castaneda
When a warrior has put an end to his routines, when he doesn't care anymore whether he has company or is alone, because he has heard the silent whisper of the spirit then you can say that, truly, he has died. From that point on, even the simplest things in life become extraordinary for him.
Carlos Castaneda
If his spirit is distorted he should simply fix it-purge it, make it perfect-because there is no other task in our entire lives which is more worthwhile...To seek the perfection of the warrior's spirit is the only task worthy of our temporariness, our manhood.
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
Heightened awareness is a mystery only for a reason.
Carlos Castaneda
... 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.
Carlos Castaneda
All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. However, a path without a heart is never enjoyable. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy - it does not make a warrior work at liking it it makes for a joyful journey as long as a man follows it, he is one with it.
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
... a warrior could not avoid pain and grief but only the indulging in them
Carlos Castaneda
We have to balance the lineality of the known universe with the nonlineality of the unknown universe.

Intent is what sends a shaman through a wall, through space, to infinity.
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.
