castaneda

started reading carlos castaneda..it blows my mind away

so far:
1.
delete your personal history.
let people comprehend you without labels or explanations, without history and prejudice - good or bad. people that know you "good" limitate your possibilities by their firm definitions of you.
and, what's not less important - know your friends. not wanna-bees, but your real ones.

2. the second instrument that appears in the book is the most important (and i hope i'm already there with this one) -

don't take urself too seriousely
personal importance is nonsense and has to be elominated. {at least now i have a nice explanation to me being a clown at the end of important meetings..sometimes from the very beginning..}

/**
its so gr8 (not) to learn smth and 5 mins later to have an opportunity to practice. i must admit that understanding the nonsense of selfimportance feeling turned out to be unexpectedly not-easy. well, every lesson comes when it's time, although as my educated friends say "coincidence is not necessarily a casualty".
