More quotes by Carlos Castaneda
A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting.
Carlos Castaneda
The warrior: silent in his struggle, undetainable because he has nothing to lose, functional and efficacious because he has everything to gain.
Carlos Castaneda
Man has a dark side, yes, and it is called stupidity.
Carlos Castaneda
... a warrior knows that he cannot change, and yet he makes it his business to try to change, even though he knows that he won't be able to. That's the only advantage a warrior has over the average man. The warrior is never disappointed when he fails to change.
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
... 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
A warrior never worries about his fear.
Carlos Castaneda
A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting... Thus a man of knowledge sweats and puffs and if one looks at him he is just like an ordinary man, except that the folly of his life is under his control.
Carlos Castaneda
Life in itself is sufficient, self-explanatory and complete.
Carlos Castaneda
Only a warrior can survive the path of knowledge because the art of the warrior is to balance the pain of being a man with the wonder of being a man.
Carlos Castaneda
Once a man worries, he clings to anything out of desperation and once he clings he is bound to get exhausted or to exhaust whomever or whatever he is clinging to. A warrior-hunter, on the other hand, knows he will lure game into his traps over and over again, so he doesn't worry.
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
... a warrior could not avoid pain and grief but only the indulging in them
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
My benefactor used to say the seeds are the 'sober head' -- the only part that could fortify the heart of man.
Carlos Castaneda
It is best to erase all personal history because that would make us free from the encumbering thoughts of other people
Carlos Castaneda
It doesn't matter how one was brought up. What determines the way one does anything is personal power.
Carlos Castaneda
The only thing we all have in common is that we play tricks in order to force ourselves to abandon the quest. The counter-measure is to persist in spite of all the barriers and disappointments.
Carlos Castaneda
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
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.
