Carlos Castaneda citations célèbres

“« Votre voyage à Ixtlan n’est donc pas réel, dis-je.
— Il est réel, répliqua don Genaro. Les voyageurs ne sont pas réels. »”

Carlos Castaneda livre Le Voyage à Ixtlan

Le Voyage à Ixtlan (Journey to Ixtlan), 1972

“Pour un sorcier la réalité, c’est-à-dire le monde tel que nous le connaissons, n’est qu’une description.”

Carlos Castaneda livre Le Voyage à Ixtlan

Le Voyage à Ixtlan ('), 1972

“- Ma seule raison, c'est de vouloir vraiment apprendre, juste pour savoir. Je vous assure, Don Juan, que mes intentions ne sont pas mauvaises.
- Je vous crois, je vous ai fumé.
- Je vous demande pardon?
- C'est sans importance. Je connais vos motifs.
- Vous voulez dire que vous voyez à travers moi?
- Si vous voulez.
- Alors vous m'apprendrez?
- Non.
- Parce que je ne suis pas Indien?
- Non. Parce que vous ne connaissez pas votre cœur. Ce qui est important, c'est que vous sachiez exactement pourquoi vous voulez entreprendre cette étude. Etudier le "Mescalito"; c'est une chose très sérieuse. Si vous étiez Indien, le seul fait de souhaiter l'étudier suffirait. Car très peu d'Indiens expriment un tel désir.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The eyes of man can perform two functions: one is "seeing" energy at large as it flows in the universe and the other is "looking at things in this world." Neither of these functions is better than the other; however to train the eyes only to look is a shameful and unnecessary loss.”
