" "«Дон Хуан выразил сожаление в связи с тем, что из всех великолепных вещей, которым научились старые маги, перемещая точку сборки в тысячи разных мест, остались только искусство сновидения и искусство сталкинга.
Он повторил снова, что искусство сновидения означает умение управлять смещением точки сборки. Затем он определил искусство сталкинга как умение фиксировать точку сборки в том месте, куда ее необходимо сместить. — Фиксировать точку сборки на ново»

Additional quotes by Carlos Castañeda
When a man starts to learn, he is never clear about his objectives. His purpose is faulty; his intent is vague. He hopes for rewards that will never materialise, for he knows nothing of the hardships of learning.
He slowly begins to learn — bit by bit at first, then in big chunks. And his thoughts soon clash. What he learns is never what he pictured, or imagined, and so he begins to be afraid. Learning is never what one expects. Every step of learning is a new task, and the fear the man is experiencing begins to mount mercilessly, unyieldingly.
"How appropriate," he said, and chuckled with delight. "The only commentary I can make is that warrior-travelers roll with the punches. They go wherever the impulse may take them. The power of warrior-travelers is to be alert, to get maximum effect from minimal impulse. And above all, their power lies in not interfering. Events have a force, a gravity of their own, and travelers are just travelers. Everything around them is for their eyes alone. In this fashion, travelers construct the meaning of every situation, without ever asking how it happened this way or that way."

"Our way of perceiving is a predator's way," he said to me on one occasion.
"A very
efficient manner of appraising and classifying food and danger. But this is not the only
way we are able to perceive. There is another mode, the one I am familiarizing you with:
the act of perceiving the essence of everything, energy itself, directly.
"To perceive the essence of everything will make us understand, classify and describe
the world in entirely new, more exciting, more sophisticated terms." This was don Juan's claim. And the more sophisticated terms to which he was alluding were those he had been taught by his predecessors, terms that correspond to sorcery truths, which have no rational foundation and no relation whatsoever to the facts of our daily world but which are self-evident truths for the sorcerers who perceive energy directly and see the essence of everything.
For such sorcerers, the most significant act of sorcery is to see the essence of the
universe."
