It’s a worry for you because you have no power. A warrior, on the other hand, is guided by his unbending purpose and can fend off anything. (Ixtlan, 137)

If you store power your body can perform unbelievable feats. On the other hand, if you dissipate power you’ll be a fat old man in no time at all. (Ixtlan, 155)

A hunter of power watches everything, and everything tells him some secret. (Ixtlan, 164 )

Power is a very weird affair. In order to have it and command it, one must have power to begin with. It is possible to store it, little by little until one has enough to sustain oneself in a battle of power.
This, what you are looking at, is not all there is to it. There is so much more to the world, so much more, in fact, that it is endless…you don’t know the world of power, therefore, you cannot make it into a familiar scene. (Ixtlan, 167)

Why would I want to store power? You can’t thnk of a reason now. However, if you would store enough power, the power itself will find you a good reason. (Ixtlan, 168)

I know for a fact that it takes a lifelong struggle to be by oneself in a world of power.
You cannot leave these desolate mountains without saying your thanks. A warrior never turns his back to power without atoning for favors received. (Ixtlan, 169)

…I don’t do anything. My body feels fine. I treat myself very well, therefore I have no reason to feel tired or ill at ease. The secret is not in what you do to yourself but rather in what you don’t do. (Ixtlan, 195)

He said it was good practice to stretch the entire body after sleeping, sitting, or walking. (Ixtlan, 202)

Long…running in the dark (Ixtlan, 205)

You must stretch your body many times during the day. The more times the better, but only after a long period of work or a long period of rest. (Ixtlan, 216)

I’ve told you that the secret to a strong body is not in what you do, but in what you don’t do. (Ixtlan, 217)

Everything in the warrior’s world depends on personal power and personal power depends on impeccability. (Ring, 173)

Personal power will make you slide with great ease into the sorcerer’s explanation. Now it is your responsibility to gain enough personal power to tip the scales. (Power, 6)

The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. (Power, 7)

It doesn’t matter what one reveals or what one keeps to oneself. Everything we do, everything we are rests on our personal power. [More–important]
So you know that you can extend yourself forever in any direction I have pointed to? Do you know that one moment can be an eternity? This is not a riddle; it’s a fact. But only if you mount that moment and use it to take the totality of yourself forever in any direction. (Power, 8)

These (the body) are the boundaries I am talking about. One can get out of them. We are a feeling, an awareness encased here.
We are luminous beings and for luminous beings only personal power matters. (Power, 9)

The decision of picking you was a design of power; no one can discern the designs of power…there is nothing you can do to stop the fullfilment of that design. A warrior is in the hands of power and his only freedom is to choose an impeccable life. (Power, 55)

…All of this is possible because of the amount of personal power you have stored. (Power, 92)

[What power looks like to a man who doesn’t see.] (Power, 192)

You can’t say that power would flow to you if your life would be different. (Power, 195)

He added that don Genaro liked me very much, in spite of any oddities of person, and that he expressed his delight in my being his protegido [the protected one, and don Juan’s escogito, the chosen one.] (Power, 195)

Personal power decides who can and cannot profit by a revelation; my experiences with my fellow men have proven to me that very, very few of them would be willing to listen; and of those few who listen even fewer would be willing to act on what they have listened to; and of those who are willing to act even fewer have enough personal power to profit by their acts. So, the matter of secrecy about the sorcerer’s explanation boils down to routine, perhaps a routine as empty as any other routine. (Power, 231)

What will happen here today depends on whether or not you have enough personal power to focus your unwavering attention. The wings of your perception. (Power, 233)

Everything in a warrior’s world depends on personal power and personal power depends on impeccability. (Ring, 173)
