The Teachings of Don Juan, Carlos Castenada

In "teachings" Carlos reminds us that for a man, or woman, of knowledge real learning engenders fear because it is a departure from the known. Overcoming this fear becomes the challenge...Learning is never what he expects. Every step of learning is a new task, and the fear the man is experiencing begins to mount...His purpose has become a battlefield...
As quoted in "Chop Wood, Carry Water"
