The Event Horizon

I mean that if your friend were a warrior he would help his child to stop the world.
If one want to stop our fellow men one must always be outside the circle that presses them. That way one can always direct the pressure. (Ixtlan, 11)

Everything I told you to do was a technique for stopping the world. (Ixtlan, 13)

A technique practiced by those who were hunting for power, a technique by virtue of which the world as we know it was made to collapse. (Ixtlan, 133)

But why would anyone want to stop the world? Nobody does. That’s the point. It just happens and once you know what it is like to stop the world you realize there is a reason for it. You see, one of the arts of the warrior is to collapse the world for a specific reason and then restore it again in order to keep on living. (Ixtlan, 168)

Today the coyotes do not tell you anything and you cannot see the lines of the world. Yesterday, you did all that simply because something had stopped you.
What stopped inside you yesterday was what people have been telling you the world is like. You see, people tell us from the time we are born that the world is from the time we are born that the world is such and such and so and so, and naturally we have no choice but to see the world the way people have been telling us it is.
Yesterday the world became as sorcerers tell you it is. (Ixtlan, 299)

Under the impact of Dona Soledad and the little sisters, my body had suspended judgement; I had, in Don Juan’s terms, stopped the world. (Ring, 90)
