spiritual warrior path
Only as a warrior can one survive the path of knowledge.
heart gestures 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.
heart answers path
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.
heart unhappy path
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
mind path don-juan
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.
mean path force
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.
change heart path
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.
heart winning path
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.
brought determines matter personal
It doesnt matter how one was brought up. What determines the way one does anything is personal power.
amount either ourselves quotes scholars-and-scholarship work
We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.
dream men our-world
"Dreaming is the vehicle that brings dreamers to this world," the emissary said, "and everything sorcerers know about dreaming was taught to them by us. Our world is connected to yours by a door called dreams. We know how to go through that door, but men don't. They have to learn it."
warrior experience emptiness
There's no emptiness in the life of a warrior. Everything is filled to the brim. Everything is filled to the brim, and everything is equal.
courage regret mistake
When a man has fulfilled all four of these requisites-to be wide awake, to have fear, respect, and absolute assurance-there are no mistakes for which he will have to account; under such conditions his actions lose the blundering quality of the acts of a fool. If such a man fails, or suffers a defeat, he will have lost only a battle, and there will be no pitiful regrets over that.
courage warrior perfect
If his spirit is distorted he should simply fix it-purge it, make it perfect-because there is no other task in our entire lives which is more worthwhile...To seek the perfection of the warrior's spirit is the only task worthy of our temporariness, our manhood.
