All of us, whether or not we are warriors, have a cubic centimeter of chance that pops out in front of our eyes from time to time. The difference between an average man and a warrior is that the warrior is aware of this, and one of his tasks is to be alert, deliberately waiting, so that when his cubic centimeter pops out he has the necessary speed, the prowess, to pick it up. Carlos Castaneda
To achieve the mood of a warrior is not a simple matter. It is a revolution. To regard the lion and the water rats and our fellow men as equals is a magnificent act of a warrior's spirit. It takes power to do that. Carlos Castaneda
A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war: wide-awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance. Going to knowledge or going to war in any other manner is a mistake, and whoever makes it might never live to regret it 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
Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use. 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
Carlos Castaneda quote: "Forget the self and you will fear nothing, in whatever level..."
Forget the self and you will fear nothing, in whatever level or awareness you find yourself to be. Carlos Castaneda
Carlos Castaneda quote: "We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves..."
We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same. Carlos Castaneda
A warrior takes his lot, whatever it may be, and accepts it in ultimate humbleness. He accepts in humbleness what he is, not as a grounds for regret but as a living challenge. 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
Carlos Castaneda quote: "The art of being a warrior is to balance the wonder and the..."
The art of being a warrior is to balance the wonder and the terror of being alive. Carlos Castaneda
Malicious acts are performed by people for personal gain? Sorcerers, though, have an ulterior purpose for their acts, which has nothing to do with personal gain. The fact that they enjoy their acts does not count as gain. Rather, it is a condition of their character. The average man acts only if there is a chance for profit. Warriors say they act not for profit but for the spirit. Carlos Castaneda
Think about it: what weakens us is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of our fellow men. Our self-importance requires that we spend most of our lives offended by someone. Carlos Castaneda
The internal dialogue is what grounds people in the daily world. The world is such and such or so and so, only because we talk to ourselves about its being such and such and so and so. The passageway into the world of shamans opens up after the warrior has learned to shut off his internal dialogue Carlos Castaneda
Carlos Castaneda quote: "We hardly ever realize that we can cut anything out of our..."
We hardly ever realize that we can cut anything out of our lives, anytime, in the blink of an eye. Carlos Castaneda
