The world is such-and-such or so-and-so only because we tell ourselves that that is the way it is.
Carlos CastanedaThe difficulty is to learn to perceive with your whole body, not with just your eyes and reason. The world becomes a stream of tremendously rapid, unique events. So you must trim your body to make it a good receptor. The body is an awareness; and it must be treated impeccably.
