Self Importance Is Man's Greatest Enemy.

Once A Man Worries, He Clings To Anything Out Of Desperation; And Once He Clings He Is Bound To Get Exhausted Or To Exhaust Whomever Or Whatever He Is Clinging To. A Warrior-hunter, On The Other Hand, Knows He Will Lure Game Into His Traps Over And Over Again, So He Doesn't Worry.

A Warrior Acts As If He Knows What He Is Doing, When In Effect He Knows Nothing.

"only If One Loves This Earth With Unbending Passion Can One Relieve One's Sadness," Don Juan Said. "warriors Are Always Joyful Because Their Love Is Unalterable And Their Beloved, The Earth, Embraces Them And Bestows Upon Them Inconceivable Gifts. The Sadness Belongs Only To Those Who Hate The Very Thing That Gives Shelter To Their Beings." Don Juan Again Caressed The Ground With Tenderness. "this Lovely Being, Which Is Alive To Its Last Recesses And Understands Every Feeling, Soothed Me, It Cured Me Of My Pains, And Finally When I Had Fully Understood My Love For It, It Taught Me Freedom."

What Is Wrong With Us Human Beings, And Has Been Wrong Since Time Immemorial, Is That Without Ever Stating It In So Many Words, We Believe That We Have Entered The Realm Of Immortality. We Behave As If We Are Never Going To Die - An Infantile Arrogance. But Even More Injurious Than This Sense Of Immortality Is What Comes With It : The Sense That We Can Engulf This Inconcievable Universe With Our Minds.

The Hardest Thing In The World Is For A Warrior To Let Others Be.
