Carlos Castaneda Quote
Does this path have a heart? All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. They are paths going through the bush,or into the bush. In my own life I could say I have traversed long, long paths, but I am not anywhere. Mybenefactor's question has meaning now. Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it isof no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; aslong as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; theother weakens you.

About Carlos Castaneda
Carlos Castañeda (December 25, 1925 – April 27, 1998) was an American anthropologist and writer. Starting in 1968, Castaneda published a series of books that describe a training in shamanism that he received under the tutelage of a Yaqui "Man of Knowledge" named don Juan Matus. While Castaneda's work was accepted as factual by many when the books were first published, the training he described is now generally considered to be fictional.
The first three books—The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge, A Separate Reality, and Journey to Ixtlan—were written while he was an anthropology student at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Castaneda was awarded his bachelor's and doctoral degrees from the University of California, Los Angeles based on the work he described in these books.
At the time of his death in 1998, Castaneda's books had sold more than eight million copies and had been published in 17 languages.
