"There's a mysterious beauty that surrounds those individuals who live their lives as warriors, as men or women of knowledge." - Jack Kornfield
In this episode, Jack mindfully illuminates:
- How Buddha's factors of enlightenment (qualities of awakening) connect with Don Juan, Carlos Castaneda's infamous teacher and Yaqui shaman and sorcerer
- Don Juan's wisdom of the 'Way of the Warrior' in relation to Buddhism
- The qualities of living as a spiritual warrior: impeccability/wholeness, wise effort/energy, courage/investigation, controlled-folly (play/lightness), strength/concentration, and steadfastness/unshakeableness
- Shamanism and cutting through our sense of separation into the root of consciousness
- Finding inner-freedom by learning how to stop our internal dialogue
"The basic difference between an ordinary person and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge, while an ordinary person takes everything as a blessing or a curse." - Carlos Castaneda (Author of The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge)

Wow! I had an incredible experience with that same passage in the book. I was wondering how this guardian was available when needed. Like, what if I ate the plant (mushrooms ?) and there was no gnat or insect around to be the guardian? At that very moment a gnat landed on the page!! On the exact spot my eyes were reading. As if to say, "Don't worry about how it works. We got you covered." Still blows my mind to this day.
