MAY YOU BE AT PEACE, MAY YOUR HEART REMAIN OPEN. MAY YOU AWAKEN TO THE LIGHT OF YOUR OWN TRUE NATURE. MAY YOU BE HEALED, MAY YOU BE A SOURCE OF HEALING FOR ALL BEINGS. TIBETAN BUDDHIST PRAYER
GREAT MINDS discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people. ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
WAR ITSELF IS, of course, a form of madness. It’s hardly a civilized pursuit. It’s amazing how we spend so much time inventing devices to kill each other and so little time working on how to achieve peace. WALTER CRONKITE
CARLOS CASTENADA 1925-1998. “TALES OF POWER””THE WHEEL OF TIME”.
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.
IN A WORLD WHERE DEATH IS THE HUNTER, MY FRIENDS, THERE IS NO TIME FOR REGRETS OR DOUBTS. THERE IS ONLY TIME FOR DECISIONS.
THE AIM is to balance the terror of being alive with the wonder of being alive.
WE DON’T NEED MORE TO BE THANKFUL FOR — WE JUST NEED TO BE MORE THANKFUL.
SELF-IMPORTANCE requires spending most of one’s life offended by something or someone.
NEVER take a path that has no heart in it. You can’t lose if your heart is in your work but you can’t win if your heart is not in it.
THE TRICK is in what one emphasizes, We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work its the same.
DISCIPLINE, as understood by a warrior, is creative, open & produces freedom. It is the ability to face the unknown, transforming the feeling of knowing into reverent astonishment; of considering things that exceed the scope of our habits & daring to face the only war that is worthwhile: The battle for awareness.
CATCH A GLIMPSE OF THE ACTUAL GRANDEUR OF THE UNIVERSE.
YOU ARE LIKE YOU ARE BECAUSE YOU TELL YOURSELF THAT YOU ARE THAT WAY.
THE SELF-CONFIDENCE of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. 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.
ALL PATHS ARE THE SAME: THEY LEAD NOWHERE. . . . DOES THE PATH HAVE A HEART? IF IT DOES, THE PATH IS GOOD; IF IT DOESN’T, IT IS OF NO USE. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn’t. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you.
THE AIM is to balance the terror of being alive with the wonder of being alive.
IN A WORLD WHERE DEATH IS THE HUNTER, my friend, there is no time for regrets or doubts. There is only time for decisions.
WHEN A WARRIOR learns to stop the internal dialogue, everything becomes possible; the most far-fetched schemes become attainable.
IT DOESN’T MATTER what one reveals or what one keeps to oneself. Everything we do, everything we are, rests on our personal power. If we don’t have enough personal power the most magnificent piece of wisdom can be revealed to us and it won’t make a damn bit of difference.
MEN HAVE TO BE HOOKED. Women don’t need that. Women go freely into anything. That’s their power and at the same time their drawback. Men have to be led and women have to be contained.
