More quotes by Carlos Castaneda
We hardly ever realize that we can cut anything out of our lives, anytime, in the blink of an eye.
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
If a warrior is to succeed at anything, the success must come gently, with a great deal of effort but with no stress or obsession.
Carlos Castaneda
One ,must have something to die for in order to have something to live for

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.
Carlos Castaneda
A warrior chooses a path with heart, any path with heart, and follows it and then he rejoices and laughs. He knows because he sees that his life will be over altogether too soon. He sees that nothing is more important than anything else.
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
The spirit listens only when the speaker speaks in gestures. And gestures do not mean signs or body movements, but acts of true abandon, acts of largesse, of humor. As a gesture to the spirit, warriors bring out the best of themselves and silently offer it to the abstract.
Carlos Castaneda
Dwelling upon the self too much produces terrible fatigue. A man in that position is deaf and blind to everything else. The fatigue itself makes him cease to see the marvels all around.
Carlos Castaneda
For an instant I think I saw. I saw the loneliness of man as a gigantic wave which had been frozen in front of me, held back by the invisible wall of a metaphor.
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
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
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Carlos Castaneda
The dying sun will glow on you without burning, as it has done today.

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
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
In a world where death is the hunter, my friend, there is no time for regrets or doubts. There is only time for decisions.
Carlos Castaneda
Life in itself is sufficient, self-explanatory and complete.
Carlos Castaneda
Feeling important makes one heavy, clumsy and vain. To be a warrior one needs to be light and fluid.
Carlos Castaneda
The hardest thing in the world is for a warrior to let others be.
