"We are luminous beings. We are perceivers. The world that we perceive though is an illusion. It was created by a description that was told to us since the moment we were born. The world of objects and solidity is a way of making our passage on earth convenient. It is only a description that was created to help us. We, or rather our reasons, forget that descriptions are only descriptions, and thus we entrap the totality of ourselves in a vicious circle from which we rarely emerge in a lifetime. We are an awareness. We are not objects. We have no solidity. We are boundless."
Carlos Casteneda speaking as Don Juan
