Carlos Castaneda citáty
strana 3

Carlos Castaneda, dříve Castañeda, byl autor kontroverzních knih, které popisují jeho učednictví u tradičního amerického čaroděje z tradice Toltéckých zřeců z kmene Yaqui.

Castaneda tvrdí, že se v roce 1960, kdy byl studentem antropologie, seznámil s čarodějem kmene Yaqui, kterého nazýval Don Juan Matus. Castanedův původní zájem studia halucinogenních rostlin v oblasti Sonorské pouště se během setkávání s čarodějem změnil v jeho učednictví. Aniž to sám zprvu tušil, začal se učit čarodějnému popisu světa, aby posléze od dona Juana zdědil pozici naguala, tedy vůdce skupiny zřeců. Tento termín používá Castaneda pro šamana či čaroděje, který dokáže proměnit svůj tvar nebo se proměnit ve zvíře.

Castanedova tvorba obsahuje mnoho popisů paranormálních a magických zážitků, psychologické techniky, toltécké magické rituály, experimenty s psychotropními rostlinami . Z jeho učení vychází také cvičení tzv. „magických gest“ – tensegrita.

Prodalo se více než 8 milionů výtisků jeho díla v 17 jazycích včetně češtiny.[zdroj?] Wikipedia

Carlos Castaneda citáty a výroky

„Věci, které lidé dělají, nemohou být za žádných okolností důležitější než svět sám. A tak bojovník svět považuje za nekonečné tajemství a lidskou činnost za nekonečné bláznovství.“

Carlos Castaneda

Don Juan Matus

O tajemství , O světě , O lidech

„Naší výhodou je to, že jsme postradatelní…“

Carlos Castaneda

„Já jenom kráčím po cestách, které mají srdce. Po kterékoliv cestě, která má srdce. Po nich putuji a jediné, co mě zajímá je, abych je prošel sám až na konec. A jak tak jdu, tak bez dechu jenom zírám a zírám. Don Juan Matus“

Carlos Castaneda
O cestě , O srdci

„Obyčejný člověk se příliš zabývá tím, že chce mít rád lidi, nebo že chce, aby lidé měli rádi jeho. Bojovník má prostě rád, tak to je. Má rád toho nebo to, co chce, ksakru. Don Juan Matus“

Carlos Castaneda
O lidech

„Vtip je v tom, co člověk zdůrazňuje. Buď děláme, že je nám mizerně nebo ze sebe uděláme silného člověka. Množství práce, které nás to stojí, je stejné.“

Carlos Castaneda

„Je spousta věcí, které bojovník může uskutečnit a kterých nebyl před několika lety schopen. Ty věci se nezměnily. Co se změnilo, je představa, kterou má bojovník sám o sobě. Don Juan Matus“

“A warrior must learn to make every act count, since he is going to be here in this world for only a short while, in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it.”

“For an average man, the world is weird because if he's not bored with it, he's at odds with it. For a warrior, the world is weird because it is stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable. A warrior must assume responsibility for being here, in this marvelous world, in this marvelous time.”
