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)

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)

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

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)

…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)
