Carlos Castaneda Path Quotations

All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!

Never take a path that has no heart in it. You can't lose if your heart is in your work, but you can't win if your heart is not in it.

Any path is only a path, and there is no affront to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you.

Intent is a force that exists in the universe. When sorcerers (those who live of the source) beckon to intent, it comes to them and sets up the path for attainment, which means that sorcerers always accomplish what they set out to do.

Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if you feel you should not follow, you must not stay with it under any circumstances.

Before you embark on it you ask the question: Does this path have a heart? If the answer is no, you will know it, and then you must choose another path.

Eventually I saw that the path of the heart requires a full gesture, a degree of abandon that can be terrifying. Only then is it possible to achieve a sparkling metamorphosis.

Only as a warrior can one survive the path of knowledge.
