Quotes from "The Second Ring of Power"
The only freedom warriors have is to behave impeccably. Not only is
impeccability freedom; it is the only way to straighten out the human form.
Any habit needs all its parts in order to function. If some parts are
missing, the habit is disassembled.
The fight is right here on this earth. We are human creatures. Who knows
what's waiting for us, or what kind of power we may have?
The world of people goes up and down and people go up and down with their
world; warriors have no business following the ups and downs of their fellow
men. The core of our being is the act of perceiving, and the magic of our being is
the act of awareness.
Perception and awareness are a single, functional,
inextricable unit.
We choose only once. We choose either to be warriors or to be ordinary men. A
second choice does not exist. Not on this earth.
The warriors' way offers a man a new life and that life has to be completely
new. He can't bring to that new life his ugly old ways. Warriors always take a first event of any series as the blueprint or the map
of what is going to develop for them subsequently.
Human beings love to be told what to do, but they love even more to fight and
not do what they are told, and thus they get entangled in hating the one who
told them in the first place.
Everybody has enough personal power for something. The trick for the warrior
is to pull his personal power away from his weaknesses to his warrior's purpose.
Everyone can see, and yet we choose not to remember what we see.
Quotes (two) from "The Power of Silence":
Warriors can never make a bridge to join the people of the world. But, if
people desire to do so, they have to make a bridge to join warriors.
In order for the mysteries of shamanism to be available to anyone, the spirit
must descend onto whoever is interested. The spirit lets its presence by itself
move the man's assemblage point to a specific position. This precise spot is
known to shamans as the place of no pity.
