...to Tune The Spirit When

Knowledge For A Warrior Is Something That Comes At Once, Engulfs Him, And Passes On

One Cannot Enter Don Juan's World Intellectually, Like A Dilettante Seeking Fast And Fleeting Knowledge. Nor, In Don Juan's World, Can Anything Be Verified Absolutely. The Only Thing We Can Do Is Arrive At A State Of Increased Awareness That Allows Us To Perceive The World Around Us In A More Inclusive Manner.

Dwelling Upon The Self Too Much Produces Terrible Fatigue. A Man In That Position Is Deaf And Blind To Everything Else. The Fatigue Itself Makes Him Cease To See The Marvels All Around.

The Difficulty Is To Learn To Perceive With Your Whole Body, Not With Just Your Eyes And Reason. The World Becomes A Stream Of Tremendously Rapid, Unique Events. So You Must Trim Your Body To Make It A Good Receptor. The Body Is An Awareness; And It Must Be Treated Impeccably.

For A Human Being, Sadness Is As Powerful As Terror. Sadness Makes A Warrior Shed Tears Of Blood.
