\"\"Two twin enemy flames, two very different ways to take flight<\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Will and intention are two ways of acting on our environment, on others and on ourselves. Despite their apparent resemblance, they have little in common. Their origin and use manifest two irreducible points of view on life. Intention and will look at each other like hounds of earthenware, on both sides of the wide gap that separates the warrior from the grunt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Intention or Will?<\/h4>\n

Prior clarification: the intention I am talking about is not the banal desire, the vague project one can have when they say: “I intend to stop smoking.”<\/em> We know what such tirades are worth. I mean the intention of the warrior, dear to the shamanism of Castaneda<\/a>. I have often been asked to specify with my words what Carlos Castaneda<\/a> and the warriors of the nagual<\/a> mean by intention. I will do it by opposing the will, powerful engine of action, at least as the old Seneca understands it.<\/p>\n

When you’ll give up hope, I’ll teach you will.<\/p>
