" "Malicious acts are performed by people for personal gain … Sorcerers, though, have an ulterior purpose for their acts, which has nothing to do with personal gain. The fact that they enjoy their acts does not count as gain. Rather, it is a condition of their character. The average man acts only if there is a chance for profit. Warriors say they act not for profit but for the spirit.

About Carlos Castañeda
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.

Это объяснение магов. Нагваль невыразим. Все возможные ощущения и существа и личности плавают в нем, как баржи, мирно, неизменно, всегда. Затем клей жизни связывает их вместе. Когда клей жизни связывает эти чувства вместе, создается существо, которое теряет ощущение своей истинной природы и становится ослепленным сиянием и суетой того места, где оно оказалось, тоналем. Тональ - это то, где существует всякая объединенная организация. Существо впрыгивает в тональ, как только сила жизни свяжет все необходимые ощущения вместе. Я однажды говорил тебе, что тональ начинается с рождением и кончается смертью. Я сказал это, потому что знаю, что как только сила жизни
оставляет тело, все эти единые осознания распадаются и возвращаются назад,
туда, откуда они пришли - в нагваль.

Nothing being more important than anything else, a warrior chooses any act, and acts it out as if it mattered to him. His controlled folly makes him say that what he does matters and makes him act as if it did, and yet he knows that it doesn't; so when he fulfills his acts, he retreats in peace, and whether his acts were good or bad, or worked or didn't, is in no way part of his concern.
