Carlos Castaneda - From the Activity category:
A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting. (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Advice category:
Death is the only wise advisor that we have. Whenever you feel, as you always do, that everything is going wrong and you're about to be annihilated, turn to your death and ask if that is so. Your death will tell you that you're wrong; that nothing really matters outside its touch. Your death will tell you, 'I haven't touched you yet.' (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Challenge category:
Challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges. (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Choices category:
We hardly ever realize that we can cut anything out of our lives, anytime, in the blink of an eye. (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Complaining category:
It is of no use to be sad and complain and feel justified in doing so, believing that someone is always doing something to us. Nobody is doing anything to anybody. (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Confidence category:
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. (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Deception category:
It's better to get something worthwhile done using deception than to fail to get something worthwhile done using truth. (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Education category:
Nothing in this world is a gift. Whatever must be learned must be learned the hard way. (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Failure category:
Intent is not a thought, or an object, or a wish. Intent is what can make a man succeed when his thoughts tell him that he is defeated. (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Fear category:
The aim is to balance the terror of being alive with the wonder of being alive. (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Freedom category:
- Don Juan: the Sorcerer...
To seek freedom is the only driving force I know. Freedom to fly off into that infinity out there. Freedom to dissolve; to lift off; to be like the flame of a candle, which, in spite of being up against the light of a billion stars, remains intact, because it never pretended to be more than what it is: a mere candle. (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Happiness category:
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)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Importance category:
-The Fire from Within...
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)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Journey category:
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)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Knowledge category:
A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war: wide awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance. (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Life category:
Life in itself is sufficient, self-explanatory and complete. (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Loneliness category:
- Journey to Ixtlan...
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 - From the Magic category:
To ask me to verify my life by giving you my statistics is like using science to validate sorcery. It robs the world of its magic and makes milestones out of us all. (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Mysteries category:
The world is incomprehensible. We won't ever understand it; we won't ever unravel its secrets. Thus we must treat the world as it is: a sheer mystery. (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Power category:
It doesn't matter how one was brought up. What determines the way one does anything is personal power. (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Reality category:
The only thing that is real is the being in you that is going to die. (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Responsibility category:
-Journey to Ixtlan...
For me the world is weird because it is stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable; my interest has been to convince you that you must assume responsibility for being here... (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Strength category:
The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same. (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Success category:
Success must come gently, with a great deal of effort but with no stress or obsession. (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Thinking category:
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. (Carlos Castaneda)
Carlos Castaneda - From the Unknowns category:
We are men and our lot in life is to learn and to be hurled into inconceivable new worlds. (Carlos Castaneda)
