" "человек знания живет действием, а не мыслью о действии. Он выбирает путь сердца и следует по этому пути. Когда он смотрит, он радуется и смеется; когда он видит, он знает. Он знает, что жизнь его закончится очень скоро; он знает, что он, как любой другой, не идет никуда; и он знает, что все равнозначно. У него нет ни чести, ни достоинства, ни семьи, ни имени, ни родины. Есть только жизнь, которую нужно прожить.
Carlos Castañeda (December 25, 1925 – April 27, 1998) was an American writer. Starting in 1968, Castaneda published a series of books that describe a training in shamanism that he received under the tutelage of a Yaqui "Man of Knowledge" named don Juan Matus. While Castaneda's work was accepted as factual by many when the books were first published, the training he described is now generally considered to be fictional.
