The Event Horizon

[There are] two kinds of energy to journey into other worlds:
1. When awareness picks up the energy body
2. When a sorcerer decides
Dealing with awareness as an energetic element open to the energy body is the most important, vital, and dangerous of those issues.
Using awareness as an element of the environment bypasses the influence of the organic beings. (Dreaming, 186)

Ancient Toltecs masked it and made it more horrifying than it s…something sacred…the new seers took a closer look an called it will, the will of the Eagle’s emanations, or intent. (Fire, 80)

Warriors must purposely seek change. (Fire, 114)

[The assemblage point is placed by habit] hence the tremendous stress the new seers put on new actions, on new practicalities. The want desperately to arrive at new usages, new habits.
The assemblage point can move almost at will, as a consequence of new habits. (Fire, 118)

Yet rituals and incantations are indeed necessary at one time in every warrior’s life. (Fire, 119)

If they are warriors, they know they’ve gone crazy, but they patiently wait; to be healthy and sane means the assemblage point is immovable. (Fire, 120)

Warriors prepare themselves to be aware…only when they are nothing do they become everything. (Fire, 128)

“Mastery of Alignment”–the energy that comes out of the alignment of the emanations; will make us behave the way we do. (Fire, 170)

Two basic qualities of warriors: sustained effort and unbending intent. (Fire, 194)

The aspect of alignment that makes [the assemblage point] stationary is will. (Fire, 218)

Worry and think before you make a decision, but once you make it, be on your way free of worries or thoughts. (Reality, 47)

A warrior thinks of his death when things become unclear…the idea of death is the only thing that tempers our spirit. (Reality, 48)

Live like a warrior! I’ve told you already, a warrior takes responsibility for his acts; for the most trivial of his acts. You act out your thoughts and that’s wrong. (Reality, 133)

You must wait patiently, knowing that you are waiting and knowing what you are waiting for. That’s the warrior’s way.
It is up to us as single individuals to oppose the forces of our lives. (Reality, 142)

A warrior knows he is waiting for his will.
Will is something else. something very clear and powerful which can direct our acts. Will is something a man uses, for instance, to win a battle which he, by all calculations, should lose. (Reality, 146)

Will operates in spite of our indulgence.
To stop asking questions is not will is not will because it needs thinking an wishing. Will is what can make you succeed when your thoughts tell you that you are defeated. Will makes you invulnerable. Will is what sends a sorcerer though a wall; through space, to the moon if he wants.
Will is the force which is the true line between man and the world.
Will s a relation between ourselves and the perceived word. (Reality, 147)

What a sorcerer calls will is a force that come out from within and attaches itself to the world out there. It comes from out through the belly, right here, where the luminous fiber are.
When we perceive the word with our will we know that it is not as ‘out there’ or ‘as real’ as we think.
Will iis a froce, a power. Seeing is not a force, but rather a way of getting through things. (Reality, 148)

…The first thing he ought to do, at that point, is to want to become a warrior, a very important step and decision. The frightening nature of knowledge leaves one no alternative but to become a warrior.
Thus, to be a warrior a man has to be, first of all, and rightfully so, keenly aware of his death.
The next thing one needs to become a warrior is detachment. (Reality, 150)

Only the idea of death makes a man sufficiently detached. (Reality, 151)

You abandoned yourself. You willed to abandon yourself. That was wrong. I have told you this already and I will repeat it again. You can survive in the world of a brujo only if you are a warrior. A warrior treats everything with respect and does not trample on anything unless he has to. (Reality, 180)

Life for a warrior is an exercise in strategy….if Lucas lived like a warrior–and he had a chance to, as we all have a chance to–he would set his life strategically…if Lucas were a warrior…he would be battling to the end. (Reality, 181)

All I can say to you…is that a warrior is never available; never is he standing in the middle of the road waiting to be clobbered. Thus he cuts his chances of the unforeseen. What you call accidents are, most, very easy to avoid, except for fools living helter-skelter. (Reality, 182)

A warrior lives strategically, a warrior never carries loads he can’t handle. (Reality, 204)

A warrior selects the items that make his world. (Reality, 216)

Whether or not you return is thoroughly unimportant, however, you now have the need to act like a warrior. (Reality, 263)

The hardest thing in the world is to assume the mood of a warrior. It is of no use to be sad and complain and feel justified in doing so, believing that someone is always doing something to us. Nobody is doing anything to anybody, much less a warrior. (Ixtlan, 139)

Self-pity doesn’t jibe with power. The mood of a warrior calls for control over himself and at the same time abandoning himself. (Ixtlan, 140)

A warrior follows the dictums of power. (Power, 188)

Genaro says that it is and honor to look after a warrior. (Power, 228)

Womb, or the area below the belly button; the power to select or assemble. (Eagle, 136)
