Carlos Castaneda citáty
strana 4

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

“The things that people do cannot under any conditions be more important than the world. And thus a warrior treats the world as an endless mystery and what people do as an endless folly.”

“The seer "sees" that every man is in touch with everything else, not through his hands, but through a bunch of long fibers that shoot out in all directions from the center of his abdomen. Those fibers join a man to his surroundings; they keep his balance; they give him stability.”

“Warriors speak of shamanism as a magical, mysterious bird which has paused in its flight for a moment in order to give man hope and purpose; warriors live under the wind of that bird, which they call the "bird of wisdom," the "bird of freedom."”

“When a man embarks on the warriors' path he becomes aware, in a gradual manner, that ordinary life has been left forever behind. The means of the ordinary world are no longer a buffer for him; and he must adopt a new way of life if he is going to survive.”

“The average man is either victorious or defeated and, depending on that, he becomes a persecutor or a victim. These two conditions are prevalent as long as one does not "see." "Seeing" dispels the illusion of victory, or defeat, or suffering.”

“Those are the lights on the head of death. Death puts them on like a hat and then shoots off on a gallop, gaining on us, getting closer and closer. Sometimes it turns off its lights. But death never stops.”

“Dwelling upon the self too much produces a terrible fatigue. A man in that position is deaf and blind to everything else. The fatigue makes him cease to see the marvels all around him.”
