“You're in a terrible spot. It's too late for you to retreat but too soon to act. All you can do is witness. You're in the miserable position of an infant who cannot return to the mother's womb, but neither can he run around and act. All an infant can do is witness and listen to the stupendous tales of action being told to him. You are at that precise point now. You cannot go back to the womb of your old world, but you cannot act with power either. For you there is only witnessing acts of power and listening to tales of power.” WorldRunningActionMotherCan DoPositionListeningReturnTerribleLateTalesSpotsWitnessMiserableToo LatePreciseRetreatInfantWombOld World Author:Carlos Castaneda
