Carlos Castaneda cytaty
strona 3

Carlos Castaneda – antropolog amerykański, autor serii kontrowersyjnych książek opisujących jego naukę szamanizmu wśród Indian z Meksyku.

W 1960 miał on spotkać szamana z plemienia Yaqui o imieniu don Juan Matus. Twierdził, że odziedziczył po don Juanie pozycję naguala, przywódcy grupy „widzących”. Terminu nagual używał również jako określenia tego co jest niepoznawalne, nieznane i niemożliwe do poznania; twierdził, że dla jego grupy „widzących” don Juan był w pewnym sensie połączeniem z niepoznawalnym. Zwrot nagual jest używany przez antropologów jako określenie szamana czy czarownika, który jest zdolny do zmiany kształtów lub przybrania formy zwierzęcej, a także do określenia formy w jaką szaman może się przekształcić.

Prace Castanedy zawierają opisy paranormalnych lub magicznych doświadczeń, kilkunastu technik psychologicznych, tolteckich rytuałów magicznych, szamanizmu oraz doświadczeń z psychodelikami . Prace Carlosa Castanedy zostały sprzedane w 8 milionach egzemplarzy, przetłumaczono je na 17 języków, w tym polski. Wikipedia

“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.”

“A warrior-hunter deals intimately with his world, and yet he is inaccessible to that same world. He taps it lightly, stays for as long as he needs to, and then swiftly moves away, leaving hardly a mark.”

“All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. However, a path without a heart is never enjoyable. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy - it does not make a warrior work at liking it; it makes for a joyful journey; as long as a man follows it, he is one with it.”
