Carlos Castaneda - You Think You Have Time (Don Juan excerpt from ’Journey to Ixtlan’)

“Is it so terrible to be a timid man?“ “No. It isn’t if you are going to be immortal, but if you are going to die there is no time for timidity, simply because timidity makes you cling to something that exists only in your thoughts. It soothes you while everything is at a lull, but then the awesome, mysterious world will open its mouth for you, as it will open for every one of us, and then you will realize that your sure ways were not sure at all. Being timid prevents us from examining and exploiting our lot as men.“ Excerpt from Carlos Castaneda’s book ’Journey to Ixtlan’. Get it here from Amazon - This section contains affiliate links.
