Мир такой-то и такой-то потому, что мы сказали себе, что он такой-то и такой-то. Если мы перестанем говорить себе, что он такой, то он перестанет быт… - Carlos Castañeda

We are alone, but to die alone is not to die in loneliness.

Man’s predicament is that he intuits his hidden resources, but he does not dare use them. This is why warriors say that man’s plight is the counterpoint between his stupidity and his ignorance. Man needs now, more than ever, to be taught new ideas that have to do exclusively with his inner world — shamans’ ideas, not social ideas, ideas pertaining to man facing the unknown, facing his personal death. Now, more than anything else, he needs to be taught the secrets of the assemblage point.

We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.
