It isn't that a warrior learns shamanism as time goes by; rather, what he learns as time goes by is to save energy. This energy will enable him to handle some of the energy fields which are ordinarily inaccessible to him. Shamanism is a state of awareness, the ability to use energy fields that are not employed in perceiving the everyday-life world that we know.
Carlos CastanedaWhen a warrior learns to stop the internal dialogue, everything becomes possible; the most far-fetched schemes become attainable.
Carlos CastanedaThe ego is like a tired old dog. We can never kill it, so put it out on the back porch, let it rest there, and step around it.
Carlos CastanedaThe 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 CastanedaIf you were a warrior, you would know that the worst thing one can do is confront human beings directly.
