"Power is a very peculiar affair," he said. "It is impossible to pin it down and say what it really
is. It is a feeling that one has about certain things. Power is personal. It belongs to oneself alone.
My benefactor, for instance, could make a person mortally ill by merely looking at him. Women
would wane away after he had set eyes on them. Yet he did not make people sick all the time but
only when his personal power was involved."
"How did he choose who to make sick?"
"I don't know that. He didn't know it himself. Power is like that. It commands you and yet it
obeys you.
"A hunter of power entraps it and then stores it away as his personal finding. Thus, personal
power grows, and you may have the case of a warrior who has so much personal power that he
becomes a man of knowledge."
"How does one store power, don Juan?"
"That again is another feeling. It depends on what kind of a person the warrior is. My
benefactor was a man of violent nature. He stored power through that feeling. Everything he did
was strong and direct. He left me a memory of something crushing through things. And
everything that happened to him took place in that manner."
I told him I could not understand how power was stored through a feeling.
"There's no way to explain it," he said after a long pause. "You have to do it yourself."
