reality deaf-and-blind world
The sorcerer's description of the world is perceivable. But our insistence on holding on to our standard version of reality renders us almost deaf and blind to it.
warrior men addresses
If a warrior wants to pay back for all the favors he has received, and he has no one in particular to address his payment to, he can address it to the spirit of man, That's always a very small account, and whatever one puts in it is more than enough.
innovation intuition littles
Conclusions arrived at through reasoning have very little or no influence in altering the course of our lives.
wall warrior winning
Warriors do not win victories by beating their heads against walls, but by overtaking the walls. Warriors jump over walls; they don't demolish them.
learning health warrior
When a warrior learns to stop the internal dialogue, everything becomes possible; the most far-fetched schemes become.
war men don-juan
A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war, wide awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance.
strong moving eye
Fright is something one can never get over. When a warrior is caught in such a tight spot he would simply turn his back to the ally without thinking twice. A warrior cannot indulge thus he cannot die of fright. A warrior allows the ally to come only when he is good and ready. When he is strong enough to grapple with the ally he opens up his gap and lurches out, grabs the ally, keeps him pinned down and maintains his stare on him for exactly the time he has to, then he moves his eyes away and releases the ally and lets him go. A warrior, my little friend, is the master at all times
disappointment order play
The only thing we all have in common is that we play tricks in order to force ourselves to abandon the quest. The counter-measure is to persist in spite of all the barriers and disappointments.
warrior juan courageous
When one has nothing to lose, one becomes courageous. We are timid only when there is something we can still cling to.
warrior
Knowledge for a warrior is something that comes at once, engulfs him, and passes on
words-of-wisdom desire use
Do you know at this very moment you are surrounded by eternity? And do you know that you can use that eternity if you so desire?
attitude mean warrior
A warrior doesn't know remorse for anything he has done, because to isolate one's acts as being mean, or ugly, or evil is to place an unwarranted importance on the self.
way awareness force
Our senses perceive the way they do because a specific feature of our awareness forces them to do so...because we learn what to perceive.
death warrior ideas
Only the idea of death makes a warrior sufficiently detached so that he is capable of abandoning himself to anything. He knows his death is stalking him and won't give him time to cling to anything so he tries, without craving, all of everything.
