Well, once again I quote my favorite article from the site. About the warrior, faith, etc. - are quite clear criteria...
------------
4. A warrior acts as if nothing ever happened, because he believes in nothing. And yet he accepts everything at face value. It takes without taking. And swings, not swinging. He never feels knowledgeable, and at the same time never feels as if nothing has happened.
This is the way of the Warrior.
A warrior is a person that combines seemingly incompatible qualities: common sense and openness to any kinds of mystical, irrational, inexplicable. His intelligence, moderate skepticism – do not turn in the perversity and blindness of rationalist, because they have a different psychological nature. Warrior nothing absolyutiziruyut, he is impartial and able to take a sober look at how reckless the rapture of the mystic, and the tight limitations of rationality. He believes in what he's doing, but is a special faith that has nothing to do with dogmatism and religiosity, for in his faith there is no fear, no ambition, no desire to find refuge.
Remember! A warrior must be fluid and subject to change in harmony with the surrounding world, be it peace of mind or the world of will (i.e. the world of the tonal or the nagual).
The real danger for the warrior arises when it turns out that the world is neither one nor the other. The only way out of this critical situation is to continue to act as if you believed. In other words, the secret of a warrior is that he believes without believing. Of course, that a warrior cannot just say he believes and leave it at that. It would be too easy. Simple faith would have eliminated him from understanding the situation. In all cases, when a soldier needs to associate himself with faith, he does so by choice.
In its most radical form, the principle of "warrior believes without believing" consists of the following provisions:
1. Putting any perceived fact the result of hallucinatory;
2. At the same time put it a manifestation of the external energy forms and processes;
3. No the test result of this perceived fact can not be considered final.
------------
in this regard, the vision of luminous filaments, eagle and others - this Warrior must be perceived as halluciniogenic too... But let's say the Warrior has grown to man's Knowledge (terminology of Carlos Castaneda). What is the criteria of Knowledge? As you can see, recognize? He gets silent knowledge? But this is for a number of people natural state... the Voice of intuition that in some way says or... How to understand whether a person is a man of Knowledge or not... He is silent? Says? Does? Does not? He lives alone in the mountains, waiting for Carlos? What he does, his interest in what Castaneda...
In my opinion these questions does not answer... Any man can be a warrior and a man of Knowledge and in advance we do not know... And therefore probably reasonable to each a priori to be so until he proves otherwise his thoughts or actions. Sound reasonable?<
